FINAL WEEKEND: “Fearless” dark comedy by acclaimed playwright Robert O’Hara
by Caitlin Lewins via NEohioPAL 06 Mar '17

06 Mar '17

Cleveland Public Theatre presents BARBECUE<http://www.cptonline.org/performances/seasons/2016-2017/barbecue/> by Robert O’Hara FEBRUARY 16 – MARCH 11 In this hilarious and devastating comedy by Robert O’Hara (Bootycandy, Antebellum), the pill-popping, chain-smoking, whiskey-swilling and foul-mouthed O’Mallerys have gathered in their local park to share some barbecue and straight talk with their trainwreck of a sister Barbara, whose spiral of drugs and recklessness has forced her siblings to stage an open-air intervention. When the story twists to reveal two parallel families – one white, one black – the event becomes raucous and unpredictable. Racial politics collide with family stereotypes, survival, and America’s fascination with self-destruction as entertainment. Regional Premiere. CAST Ashley Aquilla, Tonya Broach, Scott A. Campbell, Teresa DeBerry, Maryann Elder, Sally Groth*, Katrice Monee Headd, Jill Levin, Ray McNiece & Pamela Morton *Actor appears courtesy of Actors’ Equity Association, the Union of Professional Actors and Stage Managers in the United States.

NEW Play Club at French Creek Theatre reads All My Sons TOMORROW NIGHT
by fctheatre via NEohioPAL 06 Mar '17

06 Mar '17

French Creek Theatre's 'NEW' Play Club to read Arthur Miller's All My Sons Read aloud and discuss a different play each month. ANY AND ALL WELCOME!!! Tuesday, March 7th 6:30PM-9:00PM Scripts and light refreshments provided. This month: All My Sons by Arthur Miller During the war Joe Keller and Steve Deever ran a machine shop which made airplane parts. Deever was sent to prison because the firm turned out defective parts, causing the deaths of many men. Keller went free and made a lot of money. The twin shadows of this catastrophe and the fact that the young Keller son was reported missing during the war dominate the action. The love affair of Chris Keller and Ann Deever, the bitterness of George Deever returned from the war to find his father in prison and his father's partner free, are all set in a structure of almost unbearable power. The climax showing the reaction of a son to his guilty father is fitting conclusion to a play electrifying in its intensity. A tremendously impressive drama that received the New York Drama Critics Circle Award for Best Play. For more information call Brian at (440) 949-5200 Ext. 226 French Creek Theatre<http://metroparks.cc/theatre.php> is located within the French Creek Nature & Arts Center / 4530 Colorado Ave / Sheffield Village / 44054
