28 Oct '19

*RUBBERBAND Makes Their Ohio Debut Nov. 9 at Playhouse Square. Presented by DANCECleveland & Tri-C Performing Arts.* *Founded in 2002 by Victor Quijada, RUBBERBANDance Group (RBDG) is recognized worldwide for its innovation, its significant contribution in dance, and for its role in the development of a new style inspired by breakdancing, classical ballet, and dance theatre. A one-of-a-kind troupe, RBDG deconstructs the principles of urban dance and mixes style to create their own unique spin. The November performance of **Vic’s Mix* at Playhouse Square will mark the company’s Ohio debut and give audience members the chance to experience this highly acclaimed company’s greatest works. With both humorous and serious moments, *Vic’s Mix* is a kind of “best of” spanning the immense creative territory explored by Quijada, extracting jewels from the choreographer’s repertoire. Since their beginning, the company’s work quickly won over audiences and critics: in its first end-of-season review, the Montreal daily Le Devoir included the company in its pick of the five best dance productions of the year and has since gone on to perform all over the world to rave reviews. *Get Tickets at DANCECleveland.org or call 216-241-6000. <https://www.dancecleveland.org/performances-tickets/performances/rubberband…>* *Sarah Hricko* Marketing & Associate Artistic Director DANCECleveland 13110 Shaker Square, Suite 106 Cleveland, Ohio 44120 p. 216-991-9000 f. 216-991-9001 sarah(a)dancecleveland.org <sdurham(a)dancecleveland.org> *Subscription Packages On Sale Now for Our 2019-2020 Season of World-Class Dance*, featuring performances by BalletX, Malpaso, Parsons Dance, RUBBERBANDance Group, Cie Herve Koubi & Stephen Petronio Dance!

28 Oct '19

Cleveland Public Theatre presents the 2019 CPT / Y-Haven Theatre Project: FATHER'S WATCH<https://www.cptonline.org/performances/seasons/2019-2020/y-haven-theatre-pr…> Formerly homeless men in transition create a new theatre piece based on their journeys toward recovery NOVEMBER 7 - 10 (Thu/Friday/Sun) Cleveland Public Theatre and Y-Haven present Father's Watch, created and performed by the residents of Y-Haven, a branch of the Greater Cleveland YMCA. The Y-Haven Theatre Project is a 21-year partnership between Cleveland Public Theatre and Y-Haven, a branch of the Greater Cleveland YMCA. Y-Haven is a transitional housing facility for formerly homeless men recovering from substance abuse and mental health challenges. Every year, CPT collaborates with the clients of Y-Haven to create an original theatre production, performed by the men and based on their life stories. The Y-Haven Theatre Project captures an authenticity and emotional power as the cast shares their true-to-life experiences often hidden from the world. PLOT SUMMARY - Father's Watch What creates your identity? Is it your name, your job, your parents... a combination of these? Junior Jones is confident in his chosen path as he prepares to leave home for an exciting new job. While packing his bags and helping his father move out, he discovers treasures and secrets that rapidly change who Junior believes himself to be. A blank space under the father's name on his birth certificate throws Junior into a tailspin. Who is his real father? What is his true identity? How does this impact his future? Uncle Calvin and the man Junior knows as his father begin to unpack the powerful secrets of their past-secrets that could tear the family apart. Created and performed by the men of YMCA's Y-Haven, Father's Watch is an original performance digging into the makeup of identities and how secrets can shatter even the strongest bonds. Will the truth set them free or create a rift that can't be repaired? CAST James Addie, Michael Farlow, Russell Flachbart, Gary Gamble, Isyam Kendricks, Jesús Matos-Rodriguez, Shawn Mims, James Poon, Dominic Rivera, Felix Ruiz, Devilin Smith, & Richard Zerecheck Jr. CREATIVE PRODUCTION TEAM Directed by CPT Education Manager Adam Seeholzer and Assistant Director and CPT Teaching Artist Leonard Goff, developed with CPT Premiere Fellow and playwright Les Hunter, with set, props, and costumes designed by Inda Blatch-Geib.
