BABY/MOTHER/ETERNITY A New Play (reading) by Jaiie Dayo Aliya !!!OPEN TO THE PUBLIC!!! $5 drink ticket [image: 🍷] Venmo & Cashapp accepted (cash accepted in exact amount) STANDING ROOM ONLY (Donations to the house are welcome.) JUNE 12 7:00 PM (house opens at 6:30) Hosted by Lillie B's House 2431 W. 5th Street Cleveland, OH 44113 Email the word "HOMEFRONT" to hello(a)lilliebshouse.com for guaranteed entry. SYNOPSIS: “In Baby/Mother/Eternity, a surreal, poetic play rooted in Black womanhood and ancestral memory, two women—Sweety and Anna Lisa—circle through time and repetition inside a kitchen haunted by glowing oxtails, absent men, and a phone that won’t stop ringing. As reality bends, humor and dread coexist, blurring the line between the domestic and the divine. Through lyrical dialogue, spiritual rupture, and a search for music long forgotten, the play explores the eternal weight of care, the legacy of survival, and the mystical bond between mother and child. Baby/Mother/Eternity is part kitchen-sink drama, part ritual, part prophecy.“ -- Courtney L. Black Multidisciplinary Artist (619) 727-3483 https://www.courtneylblack.com/ (under construction)

IN 2 WEEKS: The World Premiere of Eric Coble's THE FIRST SNOW OF SUMMER!
by Craig Joseph 31 May '25

31 May '25

*THE FIRST SNOW OF SUMMER OPENS JUNE 13th!* Seat of the Pants' final show of the 2024-2025 season is the world premiere of a fascinating new play by Cleveland-based Tony-, Emmy-, and Pulitzer-nominated playwright, Eric Coble. We have been developing and workshopping this play since its inception two years ago, and we're thrilled finally to bring a full production into existence. In the face of an oncoming natural disaster, a family gathers at their childhood home in the mountains of Colorado. As the clock ticks, old wounds open and new opportunities for connection arise, even as mysterious omens encroach from the surrounding woods. Amidst laughter, tears, and unexpected outbursts, the clan is forced to confront who and what is worth saving when the end draws near. Co-directed by Anne McEvoy and Craig Joseph, produced by Abraham Adams, the production stars Courtney Brown*, Samantha Cocco, Jacki Dietz, Fabio Polanco*, Juliette Regnier, and Neda Spears. Charlene Hartley stage manages, with scenic design by Ron Newell, costume design by Abbie Hagen, sound design by Maggie Hamilton, lighting design by Ayron Lord, props design by Erin Ocampo, carpentry by Don Moran, and fight direction by Michael Glavan. THE FIRST SNOW OF SUMMER is made possible in part through the generous support of The George Gund Foundation. The show runs June 13-29, Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 and Sundays at 2:30, at The Darl Center for the Arts in Cleveland. Tickets range from $20-$32, and can be purchased online at thefirstsnowofsummersotp.eventbrite.com. *Advance purchase is recommended. *

DEATH CRUISE 2020 By Christopher Johnston opens June 6th at convergence-continuum
by Cory Molner 30 May '25

30 May '25

Death Cruise 2020 A World Premiere by Christopher Johnston June 6th through June 28th Passengers aboard the cruise ship Halcyon Daze find themselves trapped at sea when the "unknown pneumonia" infecting the public is discovered to be a new virus called COVID-19. As it rapidly spreads, survivors find themselves either quarantined in their cabins, or free to roam the ship--at their own risk. To ease the rising tension, the ship's Captain orders one of its medical staff, Achebe, to form a grief group for passengers. Those who join include Ghost, a Vietnam veteran; Lorena, a woman trying to recover from personal trauma; Juanita, who wrestles with her faith; Ricky, a young man who is obsessed with 70's rock music; and Nick, a stand-up comic who also serves as the ship's Cruise Director. They don't know when they can escape the shipboard corona chaos that ensues, when they will ever set foot on dry land, and why they are all having intense dreams inhabited by scary puppets. But as they say, "Bon Voyage!" Christopher Johnston is a playwright, director, and independent journalist. A filmed version of his play *The Ascension of Mary Mulligan* was released in March 2023.His plays have appeared at BorderLight Fringe Festival, Cleveland Public Theatre, convergence-continuum theatre, Dobama Theatre, Notre Dame College, Playwright’s Local, Talespinner Children’s Theatre, and West78th Street Theater in New York. In 2019, he received a Dramatists Guild Foundation Writers Alliance Grant for his play Live Bodies for Sale. Johnston completed his playwriting internship at the Cleveland Play House during the 1989-90 season. He is a member or the Dramatists Guild and serves on the boards of convergence-continuum theatre and the American Society of Journalists and Authors. His book, *Shattering Silences: Strategies to Prevent Sexual Assault, Heal Survivors, and Bring Assailants to Justice*, was published by Skyhorse Publishers in May 2018. Featuring Tamicka Scruggs, Katrice Monee Headd, Ben Blankenship, John Lynch, Monica Zach, Matthew Zitelli. Directed by Alison Garrigan Death Cruise 2020 by Christopher Johnston Thu-Sat at 7:30 p.m. Sunday June 15th at 3 p.m. Tickets are $23 general admission, $18 seniors (65+), $18 students.
