Living with his embittered uncle, the boy faces a mountain of adversity everywhere he turns. Rejected by everyone but determined to fit in, he joins the school's floundering wrestling team. With a chance to change how others see him, Ali must step up and learn to be a hero.

Berko review: THE NORTH POOL @ Ensemble:
by Roy Berko via NEohioPAL 02 May '17

02 May '17

*•••••••••••••••••••••••••••* *Capsule judgment: **While the production is well-conceived and holds attention, “The North Pool” is somewhat unsatisfying as a thoughtful piece of play crafting. The script leaves us wanting more, a clearer message to carry from the theatre.* *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> <http://www.clevelandtheaterreviews.com> *••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••*

One More Weekend For Workshop Players "Don't Dress For Dinner"
by Workshop Players via NEohioPAL 02 May '17

02 May '17

Last week was close to a sell-out. Don't miss your chance to see this funny, funny show! Northwest Bank presents Workshop Players Theater’s production of *Don’t Dress for Dinner * by Marc Camoletti Directed by Pat Price Farce is the name of the game in this door-slamming, fast-paced comedy. Bernard has planned a romantic weekend with his chic Parisian mistress, and a cordon bleu chef for style and class, but not including his wife, Jacqueline. His strategy rests on his best friend, Robert, to provide a foolproof alibi. Needless to say, nothing works out as planned. Suppose Robert turns up not realizing why he has been invited. Suppose Jacqueline will NOT leave for the weekend. Suppose there is a myriad of role reversals and secrets. Suppose everyone’s alibi gets confused with everyone else’s. An evening of hilarious confusion ensues as Bernard and Robert improvise at breakneck speed to save their skins! The cast includes: Jonathan McCleery, Marcia Darby, Jeff Caja, Deb Burrow, Melissa Lyle and Kevin Boland. Performances are May 5, 6, at 8 p.m. with Sunday matinee May 7 at 3 p.m. All seats are $15. Reservations are encouraged. Groups of ten or more receive $2 discount. -- Workshop Players 44820 Middle Ridge Road, Amherst, OH 44001 Box Office: 440-988-5613 (Box Office hours: 9 a.m. to 7 p.m.) contact(a)workshopplayers.com www.workshopplayers.com "If all the world's a stage, I want better lighting!"
