BERKO REVIEW: PARADE (KEY BANK SERIES)
by Roy Berko 06 Feb '25

06 Feb '25

*•••••••••••••••••••••••••••* *Capsule judgment: In the present era of rising antisemitism in this country, PARADE stands as a vivid reminder of the past history of such hideous actions. The touring company, headed by local actor Max Chernin, is a compelling production that deserves respect and accolades by paying homage to the pain of prejudice.* *To read the entire review go to: *https://royberkinfo.blogspot.com/ *To read the capsule judgements of the other Cleveland reviewers go to: * https://clevelandtheaterreviews.blogspot.com/ *••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••*

Opening Friday 2/7 Rumors @ WRP
by August Scarpelli 06 Feb '25

06 Feb '25

Western Reserve Playhouse Presents Neil Simon's Rumors! Western Reserve Playhouse 's production of Neil Simon’s uproarious comedy Rumors, running from February 7 to February 22, 2025. Performances will be held every Friday and Saturday at 8:00 PM, with a special matinee on Sunday, February 16, at 2:00 PM. This laugh-out-loud farce will be brought to life in the intimate 97-seat theater housed within our historic 160-year-old barn. Set in a sophisticated New York townhouse, Rumors follows a group of upper-class friends gathering for what should be an elegant dinner party. Instead, they find chaos: their host is injured, his wife is missing, and none of the guests can seem to get their stories straight. As secrets unravel and cover-ups spiral out of control, this comedy of errors delivers a whirlwind of hilarity, mistaken identities, and Neil Simon’s signature wit. The production features a stellar cast of returning and new talent. Joe Soriano, Jessica Learoyd, Sullivan Ratcliff, Lauren Koleszar, Brian Jackson, and Brianna Hohenfeld, all familiar faces to Western Reserve Playhouse audiences, are joined by newcomers Maggie Adler, Cory Enriquez, Emily Schrader, and Jack Routhier. Their combined energy and comedic prowess promise to deliver a performance you won’t want to miss. Western Reserve Playhouse has been a cornerstone of live theater in Bath, Ohio, since 1956, delighting audiences with its handpicked blend of familiar and daring works. Nestled in the picturesque setting of a historic dairy barn, WRP continues to be a beacon for artistry, community, and the magic of live performance. Tickets for Rumors are available now. Secure your seats by visiting www.thewrp.org <http://www.thewrp.org/>.
