by Michelle Dolciato 17 Apr '26

17 Apr '26

The years fall away… the truth steps forward. In Follies, two couples reunite in a crumbling theater,surrounded by the ghosts of their glittering past. What begins as a nostalgicevening quickly unravels into something deeper—old dreams resurface,long-buried tensions ignite, and the stories they’ve told themselves arefinally put to the test. As memories come alive and illusions fade, who they were…and who they’ve become… collide in ways they never expected. Don’t miss this powerful, emotionally charged journeythrough love, ambition, and the passage of time. April 24–May16 Fridays &Saturdays at 7:30 PM | Sundays at 2 PM Tickets onsale now at hudsonplayers.com

Three short comedies; a team of talented actors and musicians; two nights to catch this one-of-a-kind theater experience. Two Slatterns and a King: A Moral Interlude by Edna St. Vincent Millay Pushed, prodded, and propelled by Chance, will our King make the right choice? Suppressed Desires by Susan Glaspell Henrietta is obsessed with psychoanalysis, but what will be revealed as she digs into everyone’s secret, even to them, inner life? The Bear by Anton Chekov A desperate, determined, man comes to claim what he is owed from a grieving widow. They don’t get along.

All of these scripts are coming together in a fun, innovative, modern way that will speak to audiences more than 100 years after these pieces were written. This project will involve minimal tech with actors creating most necessary effects. There will also be live musical underscoring in all of the three pieces.

Looking for Juneteenth Performance Pieces
by Margaret Reardon 16 Apr '26

16 Apr '26

Hi All, I am in the very early stages of creating an experience for my History Book Club built around the book Watermelon and Redbirds: A Cookbook for Juneteenth and Black Celebrations by Nicole Taylor This group meets virtually via Zoom because I have members both in NE Ohio and all over the country. I would love to include something like an in-character monologue, a poetry reading, a musical performance, a recount of a personal history. Nothing lengthy or complicated would be needed since we will also be discussing the book. Details: Date: Thursday June 28 7:00-8:15 (ish) pm Stipend: $75 I'm also looking for a foodie person; that might be for another list but if you know of anything send them my way. Looking forward to hearing what you got! And we can start some conversations. Margaret -- Margaret Reardon Non-Profit Consulting (216) 272-4277
