Subversive absurdist comedy RHINOCEROS now onstage at con-con

07 Sep '17

ABSURDIST COMEDY "RHINOCEROS" NOW ONSTAGE AT CON-CON THURS-SAT THRU SEPT 16. " The Trump Era Has Transformed Theatrical Absurdity Into Near-Reality:.. The subversive power of theater is that it can make us laugh in the face of real existential threats. And that laughter, with any luck, can turn into change. So it is worth paying attention to this convergence-continuum production..." (Christine Howey, _Scene_) When a brutish rhinoceros storms through their quiet neighborhood, the townsfolk are alarmed, but gradually become supporters of rhino-ism and one by one begin to turn into rhinoceroses themselves. Will the few hold-outs be able to resist the rhino’s despicable impulses, or become part of the mindless herd? A classic absurdist comedy that is a parable that remains universal and particularly timely today. RHINOCEROS is directed by Jonathan Wilhelm and features actors Tom Kondilas, Mike Frye, Kayla Gray, Joe Milan, David Munnell, Jeanne Task, Rocky Encalada, Natalyn Baisden and Kim Woodworth. RHINOCEROS Thurs-Sat at 8 pm through Sept 16 at con-con’s Liminis Theater, 2438 Scranton Rd, Cleveland 44113 in the historic Tremont neighborhood. Fri & Sat Tickets at $20 general admission, $15 seniors (65+), and $10 students, Thurs tickets at $15, $12 and $8 available at convergence-continuum.org [1] [2]and 216-687-0074.

The rave reviews are pouring in for "It's Only a Play" at Weathervane Playhouse
by Fred Gloor via NEohioPAL 07 Sep '17

07 Sep '17

The Cleveland Jewish News: https://www.clevelandjewishnews.com/news/weathervane-s-it-s-only-a-play-set… The Akron Beacon Journal: https://www.ohio.com/akron/entertainment/arts/theater-review-weathervanes-i… Second week of performances begin tonight! Weathervane Playhouse presents the hilarious farce, "It's Only a Play." Waiting for the review is the hardest part. AKRON - Weathervane Playhouse presents the first main stage production of its 2017-2018 season, Terrence McNally's hilarious It's Only a Play August 31 through September 17, 2017. There's no people like show people in this hilarious comedy about the behind-the-scenes hijinks surrounding the opening of a Broadway play. Show times are Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays at 7:30 p.m. and Sundays at 2:30 p.m. Tickets are $10-$22 and are available by calling the box office at 330-836-2626 or by going to www.weathervanplayhouse.com<http://www.weathervanplayhouse.com>. It's the opening night of The Golden Egg on Broadway, and wealthy theatrical producer Julia Budder is throwing a lavish party in her equally lavish Manhattan townhouse. Downstairs, the celebrities are pouring in, but the real action is upstairs, where a group of insiders have staked themselves out in the producer's bedroom as they wait for the reviews to come in. Included are the excitable author; the brilliant but unstable director (who courts failure and is devastated when his work is well received); the drug-snorting leading lady (who is hoping to revive her career after a series of flop movies); a fawning, hypocritical drama critic (who is a closet playwright); and the playwright's best friend, an egotistical but insecure comic actor who passed up a chance to star in the play for a television series - which has since been cancelled. Associate Artistic and Marketing Director, Fred Gloor, directs this hilarious farce. AUDIENCE ADVISORY: The play contains adult language and is therefore not suitable for young children. It's Only a Play is presented through special arrangement with Samuel French, Inc. The videotaping or other video or audio recording of this production is strictly prohibited. It's Only a Play is sponsored by a generous donation from Visit Mickey Vacations CREATIVE TEAM FRED GLOOR Director JOSHUA LARKIN Assistant Director TIFFANY BIRD Stage Manager MELANIE YC PEPE & SCOTT K.
