TWO WEEKS until THE CULTURE WE DESERVE, by Jonathon Morgan
by Craig Joseph 03 Apr '26

03 Apr '26

Seat of the Pants is proud to host the third installment of our Salon Series with a public reading of Jonathon Morgan's new play, THE CULTURE WE DESERVE, directed by Geoff Short and produced by Jeannine Gaskin, and starring Shani Ferry, Patrick Lafferty, and Brian Pedaci. In this new script, three friends in Bay Village discover that someone has pooped in the pool. This should be an easily remedied problem; instead, the situation devolves into an afternoon of accusations, justifications, and the quiet art of avoiding responsibility - plus a few poop jokes for good measure. Join us for this comedy about middle-aged liberals performing their politics and realizing that they may be living in The Culture We Deserve. The reading will be offered twice on *Saturday, April 18th *at *1:30 PM in Akron* (*salon3A.eventbrite.com <http://salon3a.eventbrite.com/>) *or *7:30 PM in Cleveland* (*salon3B.eventbrite.com <http://salon3b.eventbrite.com/>)* For more details or to purchase tickets for $10, please check out the URLs listed above. Each reading will be followed by a brief talkback in which we'll be asking audience members a series of curated questions to help guide the playwright's next round of edits and revisions. We hope to see you there!

cleveland PUBLIC theatre presents Into the Heart of One Star By Raymond Bobgan with contributions from Anastasía Urozhaeva Directed by Raymond Bobgan Performed by Raymond Bobgan and Anastasía Urozhaeva A World Premiere Through - April 11, 2026 "A wonderful performance! The play is a poignant dialogue about home, loss, and the search for meaning in life. A contemplation on how difficult it is to find your light. Superb acting job!"-Ellen Vayner (Audience Member) ABOUT INTO THE HEART OF ONE STAR Icarus is gone but his father Daedalus is left to wonder about the flight that went so wrong. Could he have prevented it all and should he now choose death? Dagny, a "simple woman from Siberia," begins in a U.S. secret intelligence interrogation room, and rises to become a leader in science, business, and space flight all the while wishing for a home she is not sure existed. Both journeys reflect on each other in a duet about yearning, loneliness, navigating this world, and seeking the light beyond.
