Seussical features ASL Interpretation at Sunday's Matinee!
by Sarah Lynne Bailey 13 Nov '24

13 Nov '24

Theatre Agápe presents Seussical the Musical! Seussical the Musical from Theatre Agápe returns on Friday for its 2nd and final weekend. At Sunday's matinee performance, ASL interpretation will be provided by The HeArd. ASL Interpretation is possible through generous funding from the Rotary Club of Cleveland. Experience Dr. Seuss as you’ve never seen it before! Theatre Agápe is putting their service where their art is. As their 2nd annual inclusive mainstage musical, rehearsals are underway for Seussical the Musical to be presented as an adaptive production. Implementing efforts to overcome barriers to entry, Theatre Agápe seeks to build a sustainable, inclusive, and adaptive theatrical experience for the benefit of ALL. The cast is filled with people of varying abilities – neurodivergence, developmental disabilities, physical limitations – who alongside neurotypical folks help to present the show. The Cat in the Hat tells the story of Horton, an elephant who discovers a speck of dust that contains the Whos, including Jojo, a Who child sent off to military school for thinking too many "thinks." Horton faces a double challenge: not only must he protect the Whos from a world of naysayers and dangers, but he must guard an abandoned egg, left in his care by the irresponsible Mayzie La Bird. Although Horton faces ridicule, danger, kidnapping and a trial, the intrepid Gertrude McFuzz never loses faith in him. Ultimately, the powers of friendship, loyalty, family and community are challenged and emerge triumphant. Running November 15th-17th, all performances are held at The Cultural Arts Center at Disciples Christian Church on Mayfield Road in Cleveland Heights. The facility is entirely ADA compliant, and further accommodations for accessibility can be made. All tickets are general admission and Pay-What-You-Like. All performances are sensory-friendly and will offer a Sensory Break Room. This is the perfect opportunity to introduce musical theater to “youngsters” or people who have felt too intimidated by a typical theater setting. Tickets can be purchased here: https://app.arts-people.com/index.php?ticketing=thaga Curtain for Friday and Saturday performances is 7:30pm with doors opening at 7:00pm. Curtain for Sunday performances is 3:00pm with doors opening at 2:30pm. More information can be found at www.theatreagape.org.

12 Nov '24

Twin Masks Performing Arts Center (TMPAC) located at 9076 Church Street, Stes 2 and 3, in Twinsburg, is proud to announce the last weekend of performances of its final show of its 2024 season, The Revolutionists, written by Lauren Gunderson and directed by Christina Courtenay. Tickets available now at www.twinmasks.org. Performance dates are November 15 and 16. Curtain is at 8pm. Please note the play contains strong adult language and situations and may not be suitable for those 18 years of age and younger. Adults: $15 Senior/Student: $10 Cast: Olympe De Gouge: Victoria Kirgesner-Hunsicker Marianne Angell: Olivia Queener Charlotte Corday: Jordan Malin Marie Antoinette: Jill Kenderes Director: Christina Courtenay Assistant Director: Jim Johnston THE STORY: Four beautiful, badass women lose their heads in this irreverent, girl-powered comedy set during the French Revolution’s Reign of Terror. Playwright Olympe de Gouges, assassin Charlotte Corday, former queen (and fan of ribbons) Marie Antoinette, and Haitian rebel Marianne Angelle hang out, murder Marat, and try to beat back the extremist insanity in 1793 Paris. This grand and dream-tweaked comedy is about violence and legacy, art and activism, feminism and terrorism, compatriots and chosen sisters, and how we actually go about changing the world. It’s a true story. Or total fiction. Or a play about a play. Or a raucous resurrection…that ends in a song and a scaffold. Rights secured by Broadway Licensing, Inc.

by Stow Players 11 Nov '24

Stow Players kicks off its 71st year of local community theater with the award winning “God of Carnage,” a comedy by Yasmina Reza, translated by Christopher Hampton. Produced in Stow’s Heritage Barn in Silver Springs Park, the show runs from November 15-24 Winner of the 2009 Tony Award for Best Play and Laurence Olivier Award for Best Comedy, “God of Carnage” is an explosive comedy that’s all fun and games until the grownups start acting like children.
