20 Mar '25

Blank Canvas Theatre Presents Our 2025 Benefit Concert Green Day’s AMERICAN IDIOT Music by Green Day Lyrics by Billie Joe Armstrong Book by Billie Joe Armstrong, Michael Mayer March 21 & 22 Friday & Saturday at 8:00pm Doors open at 7:00pm for raffle and food This CONCERT PRODUCTION is dedicated to raising money for Blank Canvas Theatre and celebrating our 14th season! The two-time Tony Award-winning hit musical Green Day's American Idiot, based on the Grammy Award-winning multi-platinum album, boldly takes the American musical where it's never gone before. This high-octane show includes every song from Green Day's album, American Idiot, as well as several songs from its follow-up release, 21st Century Breakdown. Johnny, Tunny and Will struggle to find meaning in a post-9/11 world. When the three disgruntled men flee the constraints of their hometown for the thrills of city life, their paths are quickly estranged when Tunny enters the armed forces, Will is called back home to attend to familial responsibilities, and Johnny's attention becomes divided by a seductive love interest and a hazardous new friendship. An energy-fueled rock opera, American Idiot, features little dialogue and instead relies on the lyrics from Green Day's groundbreaking album to execute the story line. This TWO NIGHT ONLY event will feature hors d'oeuvres from 7:00 to 7:50 pm, followed by an 8:00pm performance by some of Cleveland's most talented actor-singers performing a rock musical! Come for the entire evening for only $50. We’ll also have amazing raffle baskets donated by Cleveland’s finest merchants – purchase raffle tickets for $1, and you could win an amazing prize package! It’s an event NOT to be missed! The benefit takes place TWO NIGHTS ONLY, and seating is limited... * Season Passes are not accepted for this performance.

Support Deaf Actors and Theatre
by Rachel Zake 19 Mar '25

19 Mar '25

Hello NEOhioPAL! If you have an interest in DEI and supporting Deaf actors and Deaf theatre, we would greatly appreciate you taking a moment to check out our GoFundMe for COMMUNICATION VARIABLES: AMPLIFYING DEAF VOICES. This piece will have a reading in NYC in April and the funds go to support the actors, director and interpreters involved. I do NOT receive any money from this, but it will help the piece move forward. WE ARE ONLY $740 FROM OUR GOAL! Please be a part of supporting Deaf actors and art! Below is a summary of the piece and a link to donate. Thank you all! https://www.gofundme.com/f/communication-variables-amplifying-deaf-voices?q… Summary:Communication Variables, written by Rachel Zake, is a moving exploration of identity, acceptance, and the search for belonging. Adam, a Deaf actor in New York City, struggles with isolation, relationships, and self-acceptance, particularly in the shadow of his family's difficulty in embracing his Deafness and his identity as an actor. With the insightful guidance of his therapist, Dr. Morada, Adam confronts past traumas, navigates new love, and seeks validation in a world built primarily for hearing people. The play uniquely highlights the complexities and intersections of Deaf and hearing worlds, underscoring both societal misunderstandings and the quiet resilience required to overcome them. Thank you!Rachel

Don't Miss the Second Weekend of AMERIKIN (with Special Events)!
by Craig Joseph 19 Mar '25

19 Mar '25

Seat of the Pants' production of AMERIKIN continues for the next two weekends, Friday and Saturdays at 7:30 and Sundays at 2:30. Tickets are $20-$32 and can be purchased at *amerikinsotp.eventbrite.com <http://amerikinsotp.eventbrite.com/>. This weekend, join us for a talkback with the cast following the Saturday performance, or for a chat with Caroline Jackson Smith, professor of theater and Africana studies at Oberlin, after the Sunday matinee.* When new father Jeff Browning receives the results of an ancestry test that he's taken to gain admittance to a white supremacist brotherhood, he gets an unexpected surprise. What transpires garners the attention of a prominent Black journalist-- attention that Jeff (and his small town) aren't sure they want. A dark comedy about the lengths we'll go to to feel connected to something larger than ourselves, AMERIKIN makes a passionate and provocative case for walking a mile in someone else's shoes - regardless of the cost. Directed by Craig Joseph, produced and assistant directed by Jeannine Gaskin, the production stars Michael Glavan*, Chennelle Bryant Harris, Mugs Johnson, Rachel Lee Kolis, Andy Knode*, Katherine Nash, and Geoffrey Short. Sam Landgraf stage manages, with scenic design by Alan Costa, costume design by Victoria Mearini, sound design by Megan Trimarchi, lighting design by Micah Harvey, props design by Mia Jones, and cultural consultancy by Martine Kei Green-Rogers. (*denotes member of Actors Equity) Content Advisory: racial slurs, descriptions of suicide, postpartum depression, and a visible gun *AMERIKIN is supported in part by the residents of Cuyahoga County through a public grant from Cuyahoga Arts & Culture.* *Seat of the Pants' 2024-2025 season is made possible in part by the generous support of The Cleveland Foundation.*

Clague Playhouse: The Half-Life of Marie Curie Opens This Friday!
by Clague Playhouse 18 Mar '25

18 Mar '25

Come see *The Half-Life of Marie Curie *by Lauren Gunderson, Directed by Anne McEvoy, at *Clague Playhouse!* *Playing Friday, March 21st through Sunday, April 13th, 2024.* Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays at 8PM and Sundays at 2PM. Stay for a Talk-Back Discussion with the Cast & Crew after the show on Saturday, March 22nd and Sunday, March 30th. Our cast features Jess Antrobus as Marie Curie and Carrie Williams as Hertha Ayrton. *Visit bit.ly/ClaguePlayhouseTickets <http://bit.ly/ClaguePlayhouseTickets> to buy tickets or call the box office at 440-331-0403 (open Wednesday-Saturday 1-6PM).* In 1911, Marie Curie won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for her discovery of the elements radium and polonium. By 1912, she was the object of ruthless gossip over an alleged affair with the married Frenchman Paul Langevin, all but erasing her achievements from public memory. Weakened and demoralized by the press lambasting her as a “foreign” Jewish temptress and a homewrecking traitor, Marie agrees to join her friend and colleague Hertha Ayrton, an electromechanical engineer and suffragette, at her summer home in England. The Half-Life of Marie Curie revels in the power of female friendship as it explores the relationship between these two brilliant women, both of whom are mothers, widows, and fearless champions of scientific inquiry. "A frisky, feminist crowd-pleaser, THE HALF-LIFE OF MARIE CURIE radiates empowerment—which is fitting, since it centers on the woman who coined the term radioactivity. …enlightening and entertaining.” —Time Out New York.
