The Wild Party Opens TOMORROW!
by Braelin Andrzejewski 10 Jul '25

10 Jul '25

*Western Reserve Playhouse Presents:* *The Wild Party* Book, Music, and Lyrics by Andrew Lippa Based on the Poem by Joseph Moncure March *OPENING NIGHT IS TOMORROW!* *July 11-26* Friday's/Saturday's at 8:00PM Sunday 7/20 at 2:00PM This powerhouse musical is equal parts explosive *dance*, powerhouse *vocals*, and razor-sharp *storytelling*. Set in the glitter and grit of a 1920s vaudeville troupe, we follow Queenie—a dancer trapped in an abusive relationship—as she hosts a cast party that quickly spirals into chaos. The booze flow, tensions rise, and the relationships around her begin to crack. Behind the curtain is a dark, unflinching story about power, survival, and the cost of staying silent. With a pulse-pounding score by Andrew Lippa (*Addam's Family*, *john & jen*) and more choreography than ever before seen on the WRP stage, *The Wild Party* is a night you won’t forget. *Tickets On Sale Now! <https://thewrp.ludus.com/index.php?show_id=200470795&ref=neohiopal>* *⚠️ Content Warning: Contains sexual content/encounters, substance abuse, strong language, violence, and intimate partner violence.

CABARET PERFORMANCE with BORDERLIGHT THEATRE FESTIVAL!
by Debi Tinsley 09 Jul '25

09 Jul '25

The Life I Sing About - an autobiographical cabaret weaving musical theatre, jazz, and bossa nova. Victor Hugo said, "Music expresses that which cannot be put into words and that which cannot remain silent." Actor and Cleveland native Debi Tinsley's "The Life I Sing About" takes you on her life's musical journey, beginning in the theatre. Though she dreamed of playing all of Shakespeare's greatest female roles, musical theatre was where she found her initial success. However, a few chance encounters eventually led her down a different and very surprising path. And at a time when she needed it most, music took center stage. Although she still considers herself "an actor who sings," she will forever be grateful for the events which encouraged her musical exploration, and now allows her to express "that which cannot remain silent." SHOWTIMES AT THE HERMITT CLUB GRILLE: July 17 @ 9:00 PM July 18 @ 6:00 PM July 19 @ 5:00 PM Conceived and Performed by: Debi Tinsley Musical Direction and Accompaniment by: Edward Ridley Presented in collaboration with BORDERLIGHT THEATRE FESTIVAL Details and tickets in link below: https://www.borderlightcle.org/2025-show/the-life-i-sing-about/

Berko review: YOU'RE A GOOD MAN CHARLIE BROWN @ PORTHOUSE THEATRE
by Roy Berko 09 Jul '25

09 Jul '25

*•••••••••••••••••••••••••••Capsule judgment: YOU’RE A GOOD MAN, CHARLIE BROWN, in spite of its appearing to be an easy script to stage, is quite complex. The Porthouse production is pleasant, but misses out on some of the creating the joy of childhood and the textured realities of the Peanuts gang.To read the entire review go to: https://royberkinfo.blogspot.com/ <https://royberkinfo.blogspot.com/> To read the capsule judgements of the other Cleveland reviewers go to: https://clevelandtheaterreviews.blogspot.com/ <https://clevelandtheaterreviews.blogspot.com/>•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• *

Mad Libs + Opera = ? at BorderLight & Maelstrom Arts!
by Liz Huff 09 Jul '25

09 Jul '25

*Instant Opera appearing at Maelstrom Arts &* *BorderLight Fringe Festival* *Featuring Liz Huff and you, the audience!* July 9, 2025 (CLEVELAND, OH) —*Instant Opera* is born out of Huff’s love for improv comedy and singing opera: “I love doing both, and thought, ‘Why not combine the two? The show mixes Mad Libs style inspiration from the audience, with the wild machinations of my voice and brain. And there are hats!’ “ The inspiration for *Instant Opera* sprang out of conversations and past performances with one of Huff’s closest friends, Jeremy Frank, opera vocal coach and Los Angeles Opera Chorus Director. Says Huff, “I went to some educational outreach programs Jeremy did years ago with Wolf Trap Opera, which were partially improvised, and a lot of fun. I had this idea of trying a one-person version of a short improvised opera, discussed it at length with Jeremy, and workshopped several iterations with friends and family. And thanks to audience suggestions, the show will be different every time!” *Instant Opera at SHORTFORM | Maelstrom Arts* *"compelling, absurd, experimental, and, above all, short. Each act is 10 minutes or less in this tapas-style celebration of multi-disciplinary local work"* *July 10, 11, & 12, 7:30pm at* *Maelstrom Arts in Gordon Square* 5403 Detroit Ave. Cleveland OH 44102 SHORTFORM comes with trigger warnings. The FULL lineup for SHORTFORM: Addison Miller Christopher Arron Bell Greenhouse ¡Bananaquit!

She debuted her one-woman improvised show *Instant Opera* at Micro Theater Cle’s Fall 2024 pop-up festival, with additional upcoming shows at Maelstrom Arts' SHORTFORM and BorderLight Fringe Festival. Other appearances include Cleveland Play House’s *Amadeus* as Teresa Salieri, and BorderLight 2023 singing the Narrator in Obediya Jones-Darrell’s opera *Fairy in The Lake*.
