Andy Warhol in Iran

28 Oct '25

Beck Center For The Arts Paints A Picture With Andy Warhol In Iran Lakewood, OH-Beck Center for the Arts<http://www.beckcenter.org/> is pleased to produce the timely theater piece Andy Warhol in Iran.<https://www.beckcenter.org/shows/andy-warhol-in-iran> Andy Warhol, having become a portrait painter of the rich and famous, travels to Tehran when commissioned to take polaroids of the Shah's wife. Warhol meets a young revolutionary who throws his plans into chaos and opens the pop icon's eyes. This fictionalized portrait on this famous visit leaves the audience asking, "who was the artist and who was the revolutionary?" Written by Brent Askari, Andy Warhol in Iran is directed by local legend Sarah May. Running in the Studio Theater from October 3 through November 2, 2025, this play is presented in arrangement with Theatrical Rights Worldwide. "Andy Warhol in Iran will resonate for anyone who cares about history. Or the present. Or the future." The Chicago Sun-Times Director Sarah May shared, "I am thrilled to bring this wonderful play to life at Beck Center! Persian American playwright Brent Askari has written a 'feel good' play for our troubled times. It's a comedy and a thriller; it makes us think while we laugh and ultimately leaves us feeling hopeful. Audiences are in for a joyride when we journey back to exotic Tehran in 1976 with the Godfather of Pop Culture Andy Warhol who has come to do portraits of the Shah and his wife. Caught in a country on the verge of revolution, our clueless artist has a frightening encounter with a young Iranian activist. Trapped in a hotel room, these two men from different worlds talk of home and family, life and death, art and poetry, and ultimately form a surprising bond." Tickets start at $15 Smart Seats, $43 (adults), $39 (for seniors 65 and older), $20 for students with valid ID, and $17 for children under 12 years of age, plus ticket fees.

CWRU Department of Dance Presents MaDaCol: Nov 20-22
by Baylee Van Patten 27 Oct '25

27 Oct '25

CWRU Department of Dance Presents MaDaCol Fall 2025 Case Western Reserve University’s Department of Dance is pleased to announce this fall’s production of MaDaCol (Mather Dance Collective). Performances are on November 20 - 22 at 7:30 pm at Mather Dance Center, 11040 Bellflower Road, on the Case Western Reserve campus in University Circle. MaDaCol, one of the university’s oldest undergraduate student organizations, offers an important creative outlet for CWRU graduate and undergraduate students, faculty, staff, and greater Cleveland community members. This year’s program will feature an exciting selection of dance works: Checkmate…? by Richard Oaxaca, Awakening by Zhaonian Li, I’ve Been Looking for You… by Lucia Mancha, and Unification by Ziyue Wei. Checkmate…? Checkmate…?, by faculty member Richard Oaxaca, uses the game of chess as a metaphor of a battle where each team of dancers is determined to protect their King and Queen and ultimately the kingdom. Through humor and movement inspired by the rules and strategies of chess, one side defeats the other. However, even the best strategies can fail, and some rules were meant to be broken. Awakening Awakening, choreographed by Zhaonian Li, explores awakening that unfolds amidst life’s distractions, navigating disorientation, resistance, and rediscovery. Evolving movement reveals the rise of new awareness, the tension between struggle and release, and the final transformation. I’ve Been Looking For You… Lucia Mancha’s I’ve Been Looking for You… explores human relationships, both platonic and romantic, and the paths that lead us to discover and connect. Created on a cast of 12 dancers, duets and trios emerge to demonstrate the individual connections that can be forged from spontaneous encounters. These groupings, punctuated by strong gazes, facings and reaching movements that are often beyond that of physical touch, are dynamic and ever-changing (as relationships often are). But rather than being daunting, as this subject often is, the upbeat, jazz-inspired music suggests a journey filled with optimism, adventure, and inquisitive exploration. Unification Unification, choreographed by Ziyue Wei, draws inspiration from an ancient Chinese myth KuaFu Chase the Sun and reimagines it as a meditation on people's collective effort. Through the dancers’ separation and convergence, the work traces a journey from individuals suffering in isolation to a powerful unison, highlighting the beauty and resilience that emerge through unity. Tickets All tickets are $15 and may be purchased at Mather Dance Center prior to each performance. Cash or check only is accepted upon purchase. Early arrival is suggested due to limited seating. No reservations and no advance sales will be made. For more information on the department, please visit https://case.edu/artsci/dance/

Get Your Tickets to The Little Mermaid at Theatre Agape!
by Sarah Lynne Bailey 27 Oct '25

27 Oct '25

Tickets are now on sale for our upcoming production! Get your tickets here: https://theatreagape.org/upcoming-events/ <https://theatreagape.org/upcoming-events-2/> Theatre Agápe presents an inclusive and adaptive production of Seussical the Musical! We believe theatre is for everyone, and we are doing our part to make it that way. Following the success of our inclusive mainstage musicals *The Wizard of Oz *and *Seussical the Musical*, Theatre Agápe will be producing *The Little Mermaid* as an inclusive and adaptive theatrical experience! Our cast features people both neurodivergent and neurotypical, both disabled and able-bodied. We offer flexible seating options, a Sensory Break Room and a judgement-free space for anyone who wants to experience the joy of theatre. All performances are sensory-friendly, AND tickets are Pay-What-You-Can! At its core, Disney’s The Little Mermaid is a story about belonging, bravery, and finding your voice. Ariel dreams of a world beyond her own and dares to imagine life in spaces where she has never felt fully included. Her journey reflects the universal desire we all share: to be welcomed, celebrated, and free to express who we are. Just as Ariel discovers that differences can be bridges instead of barriers, our production embraces the idea that inclusion belongs in every place and space—on land, under the sea, and right here in our community. >From shimmering sea songs to heartfelt themes of belonging and bravery, this is The Little Mermaid like you’ve never seen it before. Accessible. Joyful. Unmissable. *Directed by Sarah Lynne BaileyMusic Directed by Maria SteffasChoreographed by Andrea Belser * *Performances:*November 7th-16th, 2025 Fridays & Saturdays at 7:30pm Sundays at 3pm *Location:* Cultural Arts Center at Disciples Christian Church 3663 Mayfield Road, Cleveland Heights Questions?
