Then, an old friend arrives with a frightening request. With dry humor, mystery, and surprising tenderness, “The Children raises profound questions about whether having children sharpens, or diminishes, one’s sense of social responsibility … a genuinely disturbing play: one not simply about nuclear power but about the heavy price we may pay in the future for the profligacy of the present.” Directed by Craig Joseph, produced by Geoff Short, and stage managed by Lisa L. Wiley, with scenic design by Al Costa, costume design by Mia Jones, lighting design by Micah Harvey, sound design by Angie Hayes, props design by Erin Ocampo, projection design by Wayne Smith III, intimacy direction by Julia Fisher, and dialect coaching by Matt Koenig.

Cleveland Chamber Choir: Rachmaninoff's All Night Vigil
by Kira McGirr 03 Oct '25

03 Oct '25

On October 24 & 25, join the Cleveland Chamber Choir by candlelight for a concert of Sergei Rachmaninoff’s beloved "All-Night Vigil" and Reena Esmail’s "A Winter Breviary." The Vigil was one of Rachmaninoff’s favorite works, and he even requested the fifth movement (the Nunc dimittis) be sung at his funeral. Esmail’s "A Winter Breviary" takes us from winter’s darkness to spring’s light. Its harmonic language is drawn from Indian Carnatic raags (melodic modes) that are associated with the hours of prayer from dusk to dawn. Poet Rebecca Gaye Howell, who wrote the text, speaks to the connection of these works directly, “For more than a thousand years, across the world and often without knowing, these two spiritual traditions have met, together, in song. Both raags and canonical prayers offer a constancy that marks a life by the well-loved day; they both act as a kind of clock for the soul.” Join us on this profound journey of light and hope, as we consider how the idea of vigil – a period of wakefulness and watchfulness – can help us find peace in a chaotic world. More information at clevelandchamberchoir.org Charles Edward McGuire, PhD, from Oberlin College & Conservatory, will present a pre-concert talk 45 minutes prior to each performance. Inspired by musical themes of creating peace and community, a portion of all donations will be directed to Re:Source Cleveland, helping them further their mission of helping Cleveland’s newest neighbors to create roots within our Cleveland community. Friday, October 24, 2025, at 7:30pm at Trinity Cathedral, 2230 Euclid Ave., Cleveland Saturday, October 25, 2025, at 7:00pm at Fairchild Chapel, 50 W. Lorain St., Oberlin The concert is presented with “pay what you wish” tickets. The choir is grateful for the full season grant support provided by The Louise H. and David S. Ingalls Foundation and the Ohio Arts Council, and support by Trinity Cathedral as named Artist in Residence.

Don't Miss Cesear's Forum Fall Production of Canadian Gothic & American Modern October 3- 25 @ Playhouse Square
by Bestic, Patricia 03 Oct '25

03 Oct '25

Cesear's Forum Presents: CANADIAN GOTHIC & AMERICAN MODERN by Joanna McClelland Glass Starring: Tricia Bestic*, Gilgamesh Taggett, Joe Milan, Graceyn Dowd, and Jonathan Duran Two one-act plays that frames an intersection of American and Canadian perspectives from 1910 to 1976 with nods to current events. These two plays share exchanges of dialog directly to the audience and then to onstage characters. The telling illuminates time, place, societal concerns and the personal struggles with a quizzical reflection of worldviews. The former concerns Saskatchewan family life on the prairie and the conflicts of a young girl in love with an indigenous native Canadian. The latter addresses middle-aged commuter suburban life and the couple's youthful scavenger relationship with tangible bric-a-brac. Directed by Greg Cesear **October 3 - October 25 One of our missions is to make tickets more affordable: $28 for tickets at Playhouse Square $15 for students https://www.playhousesquare.org/events/detail/cesears-forum-presents-canadi… Get Outlook for iOS<https://aka.ms/o0ukef>

Lovecraftian Horror Makeup?
by brasswatchman 02 Oct '25

02 Oct '25

So with Halloween coming up at the end of the month, I've decided to start doing research early for once. Are there any makeup artists out there who know how to look, well, H.P. Lovecraft-y? As in like tumors, misshapen necrotic flesh, tentacles, eyes where there's not supposed to be eyes, et cetera? Just wondering what's out there. Thanks in advance.

Martians Invade Cleveland on October 30th!
by Margaret Reardon 02 Oct '25

02 Oct '25

Our Audio Gallery Series at Negative Space continues on October 30 at 7:30 pm! *Radio on the Lake Theatre* <www.radioonthelaketheatre.org> proudly presents the most iconic radio play of all time, H.G. Wells' War of the Worlds. This production will bring to life the same script performed in 1938 by Orson Welles and the Mercury Theatre on the Air - exactly 87 years later. The play will be performed at the Negative Space Art Gallery, located at 1541 East 38th Street #2nd floor Cleveland, OH 44114 in Cleveland's AsiaTown district. The Mercury Theatre on the Air shocked the nation with its broadcast of aliens from Mars invading Earth. With its “live as it happens” narrative style, Americans were convinced that the story was real and fled from their homes in terror. "There is no greater thrill for any audio theater company than to perform this legendary script", said ROTLT Managing and Artistic Director Caroline Breder-Watts. "Orson Welles and his company were unbelievably creative in their storytelling - there was no such thing as "breaking news" in 1938. It's easy to imagine why audiences thought that an invasion was actually taking place because of the originality and artistry of their work. We only hope that we can live up to the legacy of that historic broadcast". The performance will be followed by a discussion with local journalists on the impact of the original play and the state of journalism in 2025. It will also be recorded for broadcast on WBWC 88.3 The Sting at a later date as part of ROTLT's ongoing series Radio on the Lake Theatre Presents... Sunday evenings at 5. Free and secure parking is available on E 38th Street between Superior Ave. and Payne Ave. A handicapped-accessible elevator is at the entrance closest to lot C. Tickets are now on sale through Eventbrite <https://sjuvgy5ab.cc.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001iRnOMM0T-FyT3WpaFrlOq6w83Qvl7A5goF…> and members of ROTLT's Stakeholders Club will receive $5 off each ticket! Tickets will also be available at the door, but we can only accept cash and Venmo. Make your reservation now to ensure your seat for this exciting event! *Become a Stakeholder* <https://www.radioonthelaketheatre.org/donate> The Audio Gallery Series is made possible by generous grants from Ohio Arts Council The Char and Chuck Fowler Family Foundation. and The Cleveland Foundation. -- Margaret Reardon | she/her Development Coordinator Radio on the Lake Theatre (216) 802 8595 radioonthelaketheatre.org <https://www.radioonthelaketheatre.org/>

Artist Hector Vega Show at Parma-Powers Branch Library
by Chad Lowther 02 Oct '25

02 Oct '25

The work of one of Cleveland’s premier artists, Hector Vega, will be on display at the Parma-Powers Branch Library from October 1 through November 30, 2025. Vega is well-known for his work designing guitars for Cleveland’s Guitarmania project, which displays vibrant and eclectic guitar sculptures throughout the city. He is also known for his cityscape collages for local communities like Cleveland, Cleveland Heights, Lakewood, and Ohio City, as well as his prominent outdoor sculpture installations throughout Cleveland’s UH and MetroHealth Hospital campuses. Vega’s work is recognizable by its bold and daring use of colors and geometric patterns, which he says are intended to pay homage to his roots in the colorful and picturesque Gurabo, Puerto Rico. The Parma-Powers Branch Library welcomes you to stop in and enjoy the Hector Vega show. We hope that it will brighten your spirits and inspire you to explore your local library and the world at large with greater curiosity, passion, and imagination.
