The story takes place in 1949 at an annual reunion of old acquaintances in their forties who reflect on their misspent lives, paralyzing regrets and realization that life isn’t what everyone thought it would be. The characters realize it is important to be honest with yourself and create an identity that you can live with; yet there are those who can change their lives, and those who are stuck. With the theatre season's theme of "The Pursuit of Happiness," Durbin-Ames explains, "Hellman’s play has given the cast and audience an opportunity to explore complicated characters, most of who are not being honest with themselves and others. Many of them realize that they have not made anything of their lives. They have been waiting for something or someone that never materialized and the sad part is that some of them don’t seem to mind. We must all be active participants in our pursuit of happiness to live lives of purpose and meaning so that we don’t look back with regret at the life we lived." The cast of complicated characters begins with Constance Tuckerman, played by senior musical theatre major Andrea Disch (East Liverpool), who owns the summer guest house in the deep South where the friends reunite. Constance was once in love with Nicholas Denery, portrayed by freshman history major Carson Chipner (Loudonville), who is now married to Nina played by senior psychology major Muslimah Williams (Oberlin). As an added twist,Edward Crossman, ployed by sophomore theatre major Waylon H. O'Donnell (West Sunbury, Pennsylvania), may have been in love with Constance many years ago . Constance's niece, Sophie, portrayed by sophomore theatre major Maya Rickard (Wooster), is engaged to Frederick Ellis who is played by freshman sports communication major Jacob Ellis (Bellevue). It is suggested that Frederick is homosexual, but his mother, Carrie, and grandmother, Mrs. Mary Ellis, portrayed respectively by senior musical theatre major Ceyanna Stasick (Sullivan) and community member Kathleen Thompson Parker (Ashland), are in denial. Meanwhile Rose Griggs, played by junior history major Mary Joyce Myers (St. Joseph, Missouri), will not face the reality that she is in a loveless marriage and her husband, General Ben Griggs, portrayed by freshman Alejandro Ridolfi (Parma Heights) wants a divorce. Additional characters include Constance's gossiping employee, Leona, and the Denery's German maid, Hilda, as played by freshman musical theatre major Alli Lange (Mansfield) and freshman forensic biology major Megan Saupé (Fairfield), respectively. The production staff includes three guest design artists including Daniel Hobbs, costume designer; Patricia E. Lanious, lighting designer; and Kimberly V. Powers, scenic designer. Hobbs is a freelance scenic and costume designer currently based in NYC. He earned his MFA in production design from Michigan State University, where he collaborated on several world premiere shows. His most recent credits include assistant costume design for the tour of *Cheers, Live on Stage *as well as working in designer David Korins' studio in New York, which designed the sets for shows such as *Hamilton* and *Grease Live!* on FOX. Lanious has worked for organizations such as Syracuse Stage, the University of Illinois, and First City Players in Ketchikan, Alaska. Prior to joining Ashland University, Patty served as the General Manager for Wayne Center for the Arts in Wooster, Ohio; and spent a decade at the Sharon Lynne Wilson Center for the Arts near Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where she was Director of Operations. Patty holds an MFA in Theatre Design & Technology from Northern Illinois University and a BA in Communication Arts/Theatre from Allegheny College. In addition to her lighting design, Lanious is also the production manager for *The Autumn Garden*. Powers is a graduate of Ashland University Theatre (2001), completed her MFA in Scenic Design from Kent State University (2006) and has worked as a freelance set, exhibit, and event designer, as well as scenic artist. She has designed for venues across the country and has taught in higher education for six of the past eight years. Additionally, she was an assistant in the scene design studio at the Denver Center Theatre Company (2006-08), the Resident Set Designer and Props Master for Ocean State Theatre Company (2012-13), and an Assistant Scenic Artist for The Cleveland Play House (2002). Other Ashland University Theatre alumni on the production staff include Justin Bilewicz (2009) as the costume studio manager and Dusten Welch (2007) as the fight choreographer. J. Michael Desper serves a double-role as sound designer and technical director. Junior design and technical theatre major Seth Morrison (Millersburg) and freshmen Alli Lange, Tiffany Smolinski (Circleville) and Morgan Tinnirello (Middleburg Heights) are the show's stage manager, assistant stage managers and assistant to the director, respectively.

Choral Concert This Sunday
by Gordon L. Petitt via NEohioPAL 14 Oct '16

14 Oct '16

THIS SUNDAY - A JOYOUS CONCERT - NOT TO BE MISSED! Cleveland Pops Orchestra Chorus and West Shore Chorale combine to present a Fall Choral Celebration Cleveland, OH - October 14, 2016 - Two of Northeast Ohio's most respected choral organizations are blending their 140 voices into an afternoon of choral music and a combined performance of "A Jubilant Song." The choruses will be accompanied by pianist Mio Arai. The concert will take place at 3.30 p.m. on Sunday, October 16, 2016 in Waetjen Auditorium, located in the Cleveland State University Music Building at 2001 Euclid Avenue, Cleveland, Ohio 44115. Norman Dello Joio's exuberant "A Jubilant Song" was set to the text of "A Song of Joys" by that equally exuberant poet Walt Whitman. Originally scored for women's voices and piano, it was composed by Dello Joio in 1945, and its celebratory mood certainly reflects America's exultation at the end of World War II. Its first performance was at Sarah Lawrence College, a female-only undergraduate institution that became co-educational in 1968. Cleveland Pops Orchestra Chorus, which made its acclaimed debut in Severance Hall on November 2, 2012 is directed by William G. Zurkey. The West Shore Chorale, founded in 1968 is directed by John Drotleff. Admission to the performance of "A Jubilant Song" is $15, payable at the door to Waetjen Auditorium. Free admission for students with student ID. Parking is free. For further information about the concert, please call: 216-765-7677. # # # Story contributed by: Gordon L.
