Last Call for Discounted Tickets to THE WOMEN OF LOCKERBIE
by Craig Joseph 10 Jul '24

10 Jul '24

Seat of the Pants is proud to present Deborah Brevoort's THE WOMEN OF LOCKERBIE, running July 12th-28th, and to offer discounted tickets to theatre artists in Northeast Ohio for ANY performance, *provided that tickets are reserved and purchased by 7:30 PM THIS FRIDAY, July 12th.* In the play, a mother and father from New Jersey roam the hills of Lockerbie, Scotland, looking for their son's remains that were lost in the crash of Pan Am Flight 103. In their very different griefs, they encounter the local women, who are fighting the U.S. government to obtain the clothing of the victims found in the plane's wreckage. Determined to convert an act of hatred into an act of love, they want to wash the clothes of the dead and return them to the victims' families. Loosely inspired by a true story, THE WOMEN OF LOCKERBIE - written in the style of a Greek tragedy, with both heartache and humor - is a poetic drama about the triumph of hope over despair. Directed by Craig Joseph, the production stars Terence Cranendonk*, Anjanette Hall*, Natalie Sander Kern, Anne McEvoy, Sabrina Maristela, Charlene V. Smith, and Doug Sutherland. Kate Beckley stage manages, with scenic design by Ron Newell, costume design by Jenniver Sparano, sound design by Angie Hayes, lighting design by Micah Harvey, props design by Lisa L. Wiley, and scenic construction by Christian Sanko. Meg Quinn is the movement coach, Chuck Richie serves as dialect coach, and Michael Glavan acts as fight director.

TheWest Side Waltz opens this Saturday July 13th at Makeshift Theatre in Akron! July13th, 14th, 20th and 21st Allshows are at 2:00 p.m. Alltickets are $5 Andare available online or at the door. https://makeshift.booktix.com/dept/main/e/WSW | | | | MAKESHIFT - Events | | | THESTORY: Holding out indomitably against advancing age, dwindling finances andfailing health, Margaret Mary Elderdice, a widow and former concert pianist,resists the attempts of her violin-playing spinster neighbor, Cara Varnum, tomove in with her. While she enjoys playing duets with Cara and gossiping aboutthe other tenants in their upper West Side apartment building, Margaret Maryvalues her independence above the dubious comforts that the constant presenceof the priggish Cara might provide. So Cara is shocked when Margaret Maryengages Robin Bird, a rather kooky young would-be actress, as her paid, live-incompanion. Relations between the three are strewn with hilarious pitfalls fromthe start, with additional comic complications being provided by amalaprop-prone Rumanian building superintendent and an eager younglawyer-suitor whom Robin Bird brings home for dinner. Ultimately things do fallinto place, and largely so because of the spirited will of Margaret Mary, whogoads the others to rise above their problems, to stake a personal claim onlife, and to resist, with all their strength, the infirmities and misfortunesthat flesh is heir to. All performances at: 833 Carroll Street Akron
