The door opens to reveal a woman that immediately puts her head "into" the freezer and sighs relief. We then see a tight shot of a child's mouth, saying in a playful voice "it's... so... hot..." revealing he is talking into a fan at very close range in a kids bedroom while playing with action figures. We then see Dad sprawled out in a low lawn chair... with a sprinkler oscillating back and forth hitting him (perhaps forcefully - knocking off a hat or his drink) - Voiceover...

Cleveland Public Theatre<https://www.cptonline.org/> (CPT) presents the second installment of the series this week with three more Northeast Ohio playwrights. This second part features stories of dating and relationship struggles as told through burlesque, a coming-out telenovela-flavored story by Teatro Público de Cleveland<https://www.cptonline.org/education/teatro-publico-de-cleveland/>, and a sci-fi afro-futuristic rap opera. The featured cohort of playwrights/projects include the following: WEEK 1: May 22-May 24-Unhinged: A Burlesque Play on Modern Dating Struggles<https://www.cptonline.org/performances/seasons/2024-2025/test-flight-part-2…> By Issa Vybe Productions Produced by Issa Vybe & Co-produced by Double D' Lee Each performer will share a personal monologue-burlesque piece, beginning in darkness and spotlighting their stories of toxic relationships, such as love bombing. After showcasing their struggles through expressive performance art, the cast will reconvene to share how they've overcome these challenges, distributing resources for support and healing. For adults ages 18+. WEEK 2: May 29-May 31-Grandeza<https://www.cptonline.org/performances/seasons/2024-2025/test-flight-part-2…> Presented by Teatro Público de Cleveland and Cleveland Public Theatre Produced by Alejandro Martinez Written & directed by Ernesto Luna Camargo In Spanish with English supertitles. En español con supertítulos en inglés. Grandeza is a dark comedy exploration of identity, courage, and the weight of cultural expectations. When a teenager comes out of the closet, he uncovers a startling truth: the entire world is trapped in closets of their own, clinging to traditions that have shaped and confined them. Grandeza es una exploración por comedia negra de la identidad, el coraje y el peso de las expectativas culturales. Cuando un adolescente sale del clóset, descubre una verdad sorprendente: el mundo entero está atrapado en sus propios clósets, aferrándose a tradiciones que lo han moldeado y confinado WEEK 3: June 5-June 7-Future Never Land<https://www.cptonline.org/performances/seasons/2024-2025/test-flight-part-2…> By Josiah Britt Directed & produced by Jimmie Woody Line Producer: Daniel Christopher McCurry Cleveland history meets Afrofuturism in Future Never Land, a multi-media, rap-classical fusion opera. This historical sci-fi work presents our collective tragedies and triumphs told through the origin story of a poetic and mysterious defender known as the C-Town Crier, as he comes face to face with local heroes, villains, and self-discovery. The entire play is perfectly synced to unedited classical music from famous French compositions, Camille Saint-Saëns's Carnival of the Animals and Claude Debussy's Suite Bergamasque. This play boldly pushes the boundary of lyrical complexity and innovation.

by Craig Joseph 18 May '25

18 May '25

*THE FIRST SNOW OF SUMMER OPENS JUNE 13th!* Seat of the Pants' final show of the 2024-2025 season is the world premiere of a fascinating new play by Cleveland-based Tony-, Emmy-, and Pulitzer-nominated playwright, Eric Coble. We have been developing and workshopping this play since its inception two years ago, and we're thrilled finally to bring a full production into existence. In the face of an oncoming natural disaster, a family gathers at their childhood home in the mountains of Colorado. As the clock ticks, old wounds open and new opportunities for connection arise, even as mysterious omens encroach from the surrounding woods. Amidst laughter, tears, and unexpected outbursts, the clan is forced to confront who and what is worth saving when the end draws near. Co-directed by Anne McEvoy and Craig Joseph, produced by Abraham Adams, the production stars Courtney Brown*, Samantha Cocco, Jacki Dietz, Fabio Polanco*, Juliette Regnier, and Neda Spears. Charlene Hartley stage manages, with scenic design by Ron Newell, costume design by Abbie Hagen, sound design by Maggie Hamilton, lighting design by Ayron Lord, props design by Erin Ocampo, carpentry by Don Moran, and fight direction by Michael Glavan. THE FIRST SNOW OF SUMMER is made possible in part through the generous support of The George Gund Foundation. The show runs June 13-29, Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 and Sundays at 2:30, at The Darl Center for the Arts in Cleveland. Tickets range from $20-$32, and can be purchased online at thefirstsnowofsummersotp.eventbrite.com. *Advance purchase is recommended. *
