by Bernadette Clemens via NEohioPAL 24 Jun '16

24 Jun '16

Youth Educational Outreach Program: Mamai Matinees Beginning in the 2016 season, patrons can register children ages 5-7 for this drama workshop in an adjacent location while enjoying Mamai’s Sunday 2:30pm matinee performance. One (1) adult admission is included with child registration fee. July 24 LADY WINDERMERE’S FAN August 28 THE WOMAN HATER Register here <https://app.arts-people.com/index.php?retail=mtco>. 2016 Venue & Ticket Information Co-Founder Wendy Kriss returns to staff as Mamai’s first Education Associate. She will steer the new Mamai Matinee program conceived by Co-Founder Derdriu Ring, which invites children ages 5-7 to an interactive workshop full of storytelling, movement, music and visual artwork with new friends. Children will experience a collage of art activities designed to promote self-expression, comfort and confidence in the creative process, and the development of collaboration skills. Mamai is thrilled to return downtown to The Cleveland Masonic Performing Arts Center <http://www.paccleveland.com/>, 3615 Euclid Avenue at E. 36th Street, with free and ample parking in an onsite gated lot, air-conditioning, and ADA-accessibility. Mamai will mount all three of its 2016 productions on the beautiful 1920s proscenium stage inside the DeMolay Room. Lady Windermere's Fan By Oscar Wilde Directed Bernadette Clemens July 14-31, 2016 Scenic Design by Don McBride Costume Design by Suzy Campbell Lighting Design by Rob Peck Sound Design by Carlton Guc Properties Design by Monica Plunkett Oscar Wilde fans the flames of Edwardian social change with his typical adroitness. Comedy and manners offer a tongue-lashing, suspenseful assault on Victorian values. An attractive stranger invades the domestic bliss of Lady & Lord Windermere, and her past has the potential to drastically alter their future. Lord Darlington plays a hand. All bets hinge on chance, fate, accident... and a fan. The Woman Hater - U.S. Premiere! By Fanny Burney Directed Christine McBurney August 18-September 4, 2016 Scenic Design by Don McBride Costume Design by Angelina Herin Lighting Design by Rob Peck Sound Design by Richard Ingraham Properties Design by Monica Plunkett An absurdly satirical indictment of the excesses of both men and women, this 1802 comedy remained unproduced until 2003. When Sir Roderick is jilted by Lady Smatter, he proclaims himself a woman-hater and is determined to keep his young heir away from the opposite sex. Identities are mistaken, social pretensions are deliciously exposed, and the gender constructs of wifely and daughterly duties are boldly upended — bringing forth a new kind of heroine.

Mamai Theatre Company was co-founded in 2010 by Bernadette Clemens, Wendy Kriss, Christine McBurney, and Derdriu Ring. Mamai (pronounced Mah' may) is the Gaelic word for “mother.” Four working mothers, theatre artists, colleagues, and friends arrived at a place where it was time to create opportunities for themselves and their community. “Don’t wait to create” became the inspiration for Mamai Theatre Company. Our mission is to create intelligent, relevant classical theatre that offers an artistic home for Cleveland's theatre artists, and equal opportunity for women in the professional theatre community. In 2013 The Plain Dealer announced, “Mamai Theatre Company...has made a howling entrance onto the city’s artistic scene” and named their inaugural production, Medea, a top-10 theatre event of the year. In 2014 LandofCleve.net added, “In only a few short years, Mamai Theatre Company has established themselves as a major player in the Cleveland theatre community." We are a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. www.mamaitheatreco.org mamaitheatrecocleveland(a)gmail.com ###

Gilda Shedstecker celebrates Pride with Our Son's Wedding
by Doug Tennant via NEohioPAL 24 Jun '16

24 Jun '16

*Gilda **Shedstecker** Presents! Our Son's Wedding* *"Just tell me, Mary, are we the parents of the groom or the parents of the bride?"* Mary and Angelo Lo Presto are about to escort their son down the aisle. Like fathers throughout the centuries, Angelo isn’t thrilled about his son’s romantic choice — but there’s a 2016 twist in this comedy by Donna de Matteo. Their son's wedding to another man is the incendiary device that blows the door off the closet of Mary and Angelo's own marriage, revealing old skeletons and buried assignations that rattle their Italian-American roots! Every parent wants their child to find happiness. Every person on the face of the planet wants to find love. The challenges faced by parents and children are universal, and sometimes understanding is the best gift you can give. Starring as Mary and Angelo are Cynthia Gribble and Tom Bryant with Joe Soriano as their son Michael and Jared Michael Sparks as his fiance David. Comedy abounds and there are some startlingly tender moments in this wonderful script about resolving prejudice and admitting shame. And to help celebrate, Gilda Shedstecker and the Kathleen Howland Theatre invite the audience to wear their Pride gear, and receive a dollar savings toward GSP's August production of *The Little Dog Laughed*. Two performances left June 24 & 25 at the Kathleen Howland Theatre, 324 Cleveland Ave NW, Canton OH. Tickets are $10 and available at 330-451-0924 or online with major credit cards at www.secondapril.org. <http://www.secondapril.org/> The show does contain strong language and is recommended for a PG-13 audience.
