Berko review: LAST OF THE BOYS @ none too fragile
by Roy Berko via NEohioPAL 19 Sep '17

19 Sep '17

*•••••••••••••••••••••••••••* *Capsule judgment: War is hell and, as highlighted in “Last of the Boys,” its aftermath is often worse. Kudos to Sean Derry and his cast for creating a compelling evening of theater. This is must see theater for anyone interested in fine acting and a more real than life picture of the outcomes of combative and emotional wars on human beings.* *To read the entire review go to: www.royberko.info <http://www.royberko.info> to read the capsule judgments of the other Cleveland reviewers go to: www.clevelandtheaterreviews.com <http://www.clevelandtheaterreviews.com>* *••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••*

Ensemble Opens its 38th Consecutive Season: "We The People"
by Ensemble Theatre via NEohioPAL 19 Sep '17

19 Sep '17

ENSEMBLE THEATRE OPENS ITS 2017-2018 MAINSTAGE SEASON WE THE PEOPLE with the CLEVELAND PREMIERE of: WELL by LISA KRON (Book & Lyrics for FUN HOME) Directed by CELESTE COSENTINO. "This play is not about my mother and me," begins the character of Lisa. But, of course, it is about her mother, and her mother's extraordinary ability to heal a changing neighborhood despite her inability to heal herself. In this "solo show with people in it," Kron asks the provocative question: "Do we create our own illness?" The answers she gets are much more complicated than she bargained for as the play spins dangerously out of control into riotously funny and unexpected territory. “One of the most thought-provoking comedies in Broadway history!” – Roma Torre, NY1 News "Wise and funny and utterly winning! Truly a beautiful play." – Michael Feingold, Village Voice "Sly, good-natured and brutally deceptive, The revelations are both graceful and awkward, subtle and obvious, elegant and confusing. Like life." – Linda Winer, Newsday September 29 – October 22 Fridays & Saturdays @8pm. Sundays @2pm. Opening night reception (9/29) with Celeste’s chocolate covered strawberries , food and drink! Post show celebration @ *The Bottle House* in Cleveland Heights! Drink specials for Ensemble Patrons! Please Note: There will be NO PERFORMANCE on Saturday October 7th! We will be adding a Monday Night performance on October 9th @7pm! With a great CAST of CLEVELAND ACTORS: Lara Mielcarek* as Lisa Kron Laura Starnik as Ann Kron April Needham as Ensemble A: Joy, Dottie, Herself Maya Jones as Ensemble B: Lori Jones, Kay, Mrs. Price, Cynthia, Herself Brian Kenneth Armour as Ensemble C: Jim Richardson, Nurse 2, Little Oscar, Big Oscar, Himself Craig Joseph as Ensemble D: Howard Norris, Head Nurse, Himself *Denotes Member of Actors’ Equity Association Tickets $12-$25.
