Review of "Side Show" at Blank Canvas Theatre
by Bob Abelman 20 Apr '18

20 Apr '18

Blank Canvas’ walks the precarious tightrope that is ‘Side Show’ Bob Abelman Cleveland Jewish News, The News Herald, The Morning Journal Member, International Association of Theatre Critics So the elephant act in the room is that the 2014 Broadway revival of Bill Russell and Henry Krieger’s “Side Show” – a musical about the real-life carnival life of conjoined twins Daisy and Violet Hilton – was as short-lived as the original 1997 production, which closed after just 91 performances. The revival delves deeper into the backstory of the twins. And it tightens its focus on their personal journey in the 1930s from obscurity to fame to heartbreak at the hands of promoter Terry Connor and trainer Buddy Foster. But the reasons for the show’s inability to find an audience beyond a cult following can still be found in its current production at Blank Canvas Theatre. And, with a theater company that produces big musicals with small budgets on a small stage, director Patrick Ciamacco introduces a few problems of his own amidst some significant triumphs.

Directed by Kent State Stark Associate Professor of Theatre and Theatre Director Brian Newberg, “26 Pebbles” transports audiences to Newtown months after the massacre.

The theatre department has teamed up with Counseling Services to provide mental health resources and facilitate panel discussions in conjunction with the theatrical production. “As Stark County’s public university, we take seriously our responsibility to not only educate the community, but to be an ever-present resource,” said Denise Seachrist, Ph.D., dean and chief administrative officer at Kent State Stark. “Along with presenting this significant play, our campus also has organized corresponding mental-health awareness events. As community leaders, we are here to provide support wherever – and whenever – we can.” Kent State Stark is collaborating with Phoenix Rising, CommQuest, StarkNAMI and Sandy Hook Promise, which will have representatives available during performances. The goal is to provide resources and spur healthy conservation about gun violence and prevention. All events are open to the public. Performances will be held at 7:30 p.m. April 13 and 14, and at 2 p.m. April 15.
