CTI’s 2021 Digital Season: 02/19/2021 – 02/21/2021 – CLUE: Stay-At-Home Edition This popular production has been adapted to be delivered via the ZOOM platform and will be livestreamed to Broadway On Demand. Based on the iconic 1985 Paramount movie which was inspired by the classic Hasbro board game, Clue is a hilarious farce-meets-murder mystery. The tale begins at a remote mansion, where six mysterious guests assemble for an unusual dinner party where murder and blackmail are on the menu. When their host turns up dead, they all become suspects. Led by Wadsworth the butler, Miss Scarlet, Professor Plum, Mrs. White, Mr. Green, Mrs. Peacock and Colonel Mustard race to find the killer as the body count stacks up. Clue is the comedy whodunit that will leave both cult fans and newcomers in stitches as they try to figure out... WHO did it, WHERE, and with WHAT! 04/09/2021 – 04/11/2021 – Ordinary Days (Musical) This production will be filmed from our theatre and livestreamed to patrons through Cassidy Theatre’s website. (www.cassidytheatre.com) Ordinary Days tells the story of four young New Yorkers whose lives intersect as they search for fulfillment, happiness, love, and cabs. Through a score of vibrant and memorable songs, their experiences ring startlingly true to life. Ordinary Days is an original musical for anyone who's ever struggled to appreciate the simple things in a complex place. With equal doses of humor and poignancy, it celebrates how 8.3 million individual stories combine in unexpected ways to make New York City such a unique and extraordinary home. 06/11/2021 – 06/13/2021 – Spamalot – The Socially Distant “Concert-ish” Version (Musical) This production will be filmed from our theatre and livestreamed to patrons via BookTixLive. Lovingly ripped off from the classic film comedy Monty Python and the Holy Grail, MONTY PYTHON’S SPAMALOT retells the legend of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table, and features a bevy of beautiful show girls, not to mention cows, killer rabbits, and French people. Did we mention the bevy of beautiful showgirls? The 2005 Broadway production won three Tony® Awards, including Best Musical, and was followed by two successful West End runs. The outrageous, uproarious, and gloriously entertaining story of King Arthur and the Lady of the Lake will delight audiences as they search for the Holy Grail and “always look on the bright side of life.” 08/13/2021 – 08/15/2021 – Matt’s First (Real) Thanksgiving This production will be filmed from our theatre and livestreamed to patrons through Cassidy Theatre’s website. (www.cassidytheatre.com) Local author Brandi Eaton, a native Clevelander depicts the hilarious story of Matt Quinn, a recently “out” thirty-something, who brings his new boyfriend Jason home to his family for Thanksgiving. 10/22/2021 – 10/24/2021 – The Addams Family - Quarantined (Musical) This production will be filmed from our theatre and livestreamed to patrons via BookTixLive. THE ADDAMS FAMILY, a comical feast that embraces the wackiness in every family, features an original story and it’s every father’s nightmare: Wednesday Addams, the ultimate princess of darkness, has grown up and fallen in love with a sweet, smart young man from a respectable family– a man her parents have never met. And if that wasn’t upsetting enough, Wednesday confides in her father and begs him not to tell her mother. Now, Gomez Addams must do something he’s never done before– keep a secret from his beloved wife, Morticia. Everything will change for the whole family on the fateful night they host a dinner for Wednesday’s “normal” boyfriend and his parents. 12/17/2021 – 12/19/2021 – Little Women (Musical) This production will be filmed from our theatre and livestreamed to patrons via ShowTix4U. Based on Louisa May Alcott's life, Little Women follows the adventures of sisters, Jo, Meg, Beth and Amy March. Jo is trying to sell her stories for publication, but the publishers are not interested – her friend, Professor Bhaer, tells her that she has to do better and write more from herself. Begrudgingly taking this advice, Jo weaves the story of herself and her sisters and their experience growing up in Civil War America. Thank You, Michael L. Caraffi Board President Cassidy Theatre Inc. 6200 Pearl Road Parma Heights, OH. 44130 440-842-4600 (o) | 216-355-3598 (m)
