Berko review: SCHOOL OF ROCK--PORTHOUSE
by Roy Berko 21 Jul '25

21 Jul '25

*•••••••••••••••••••••••••••* *Capsule judgment: SCHOOL OF ROCK is a fun-filled show with a moral message. The Porthouse production was nicely done, in spite of some age-casting problems and a mid-production medical issue. The music rocked. The cast entertained. It’s the kind of show that audience’s love. * *To read the entire review go to: *https://royberkinfo.blogspot.com/ *To read the capsule judgements of the other Cleveland reviewers go to: * https://clevelandtheaterreviews.blogspot.com/ *••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••*

Berko review: KIMBERLY AKIMBO (Key Bank Series)
by Roy Berko 18 Jul '25

18 Jul '25

*•••••••••••••••••••••••••••* *CAPSULE JUDGEMENT: The script will never be compared other teen-centered musicals such as WEST SIDE STORY or DEAR EVAN HANSEN or even HAIRSPRAY, but the story is interesting, the touring-show is well performed and all-in-all, it makes for a pleasing evening of theater.* *To read the entire review go to: *https://royberkinfo.blogspot.com/ *To read the capsule judgements of the other Cleveland reviewers go to: * https://clevelandtheaterreviews.blogspot.com/ *••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••*

Auditions Upcoming for Dead Man’s Cell Phone at Twin Masks
by Claudia Lillibridge 17 Jul '25

17 Jul '25

*Twin Masks Performing Arts Center* Audition Announcement *Dead Man's Cell Phone* by Sarah Ruhl Auditions will be held at the theatre on Sunday August 3 beginning at 6:30, and Monday August 4 beginning at 7:30. The production will run Friday and Saturday evenings October 31 to November 15. *TMPAC* is located at 9067 Church Street, Suites 2 & 3, Twinsburg, Ohio 44087. TMPAC is a registered 501c3 non profit organization and all actors and production staff members are volunteers (non-paid). Director Marc C. Howard asks that auditioners follow this link to sign up for an audition slot and to get more details regarding this production. *SignUp Genius Link <https://www.signupgenius.com/go/5080549AFAC2CAAF58-50694015-dead#/>* This play explores the theme of how cell phones both connect and isolate us, as well as the balance between going through the motions and really living. A work about how we memorialize the dead – and how that remembering changes us – it’s the odyssey of a woman forced to confront her own assumptions about morality, redemption, and the need to connect in a technologically obsessed world. *Reviews:* “Satire is her oxygen […] In her new oddball comedy, *Dead Man’s Cell Phone, *Sarah Ruhl is forever vital in her lyrical and biting takes on how we behave” ~ *The Washington Post* “Ruhl’s zany probe of the razor-thin line between life and death delivers a fresh and humorous look at the times we live in.” ~ *Variety* “[Ruhl] tackles big ideas with a voice that entertains.” ~ *NPR* “The beguiling new comedy […] blends the mundane and the metaphysical, the blunt and the obscure, the patently bizarre and the bizarrely moving […] [Ruhl] writes surrealist fantasies that happen to be populated by eccentrically real people, comedies in which the surface illogic of dreams is made meaningful – made truthful – by the deeper logic of human feeling.” ~ *The New York Times* Rights secured via Concord Theatricals

Audiences Love THE WILD PARTY at WRP
by Braelin Andrzejewski 17 Jul '25

17 Jul '25

*Western Reserve Playhouse Presents:* *The Wild Party* Book, Music, and Lyrics by Andrew Lippa Based on the Poem by Joseph Moncure March *TWO MORE WEEKENDS, FIVE MORE CHANCES TO SEE:* *July 18-26* 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.
