Show Dates for: August 7th – 23rd Fridays and Saturdays @ 8:00 PM and Sundays @ 3:00 PM Written by Robert Harling Show Synopsis: Truvy's beauty salon in Chinquapin, Louisiana is where all the ladies who are "anybody" come to have their hair done. Helped by her eager new assistant, Annelle (who is not sure whether or not she is still married), the outspoken, wise-cracking Truvy dispenses shampoos and free advice to the town's rich curmudgeon, Ouiser, ("I'm not crazy, I've just been in a bad mood for forty years"); an eccentric millionaire, Miss Clairee, who has a raging sweet tooth; and the local social leader, M'Lynn, whose daughter, Shelby (the prettiest girl in town), is about to marry a "good ole boy." Filled with hilarious repartee and not a few acerbic but humorously revealing verbal collisions, the play moves toward tragedy in the second act. The sudden realization of their mortality affects the others, but also draws on the underlying strength—and love—which give the play, and its characters, the special quality to make them truly touching, funny and marvelously amiable company in good times and bad. Character Breakdown: (Approximate ages for characters) *Truvy* *Jones*: (35- 45) Owns the beauty shop. Vivacious. Dispenses advice with lots of hairspray. *Annelle* *Dupup**‐**Desoto*: (18- 24) Newly hired assistant. Moves from unsure, to wild, to religious. *Clairee* *Belcher: *(55- late 60’s) Widow of former mayor. Grand dame. Elegant, sophisticated, a true beauty. *Shelby* *Eatenton**‐**Latcherie*: (19) Prettiest girl in town. Strong willed, passionate. *M'Lynn* *Eatenton*: (40-50’s) to play 40 to 50’s Shelby's mother. Always knows what’s best, strong, stubborn, the heart of the piece. *Ouiser* *(pronounced* *Weezer)* *Boudreaux*: (55- late 60’s) Wealthy curmudgeon. Tough, eccentric character. The Cassidy Theatre is supported in part by the residents of Cuyahoga County through a public grant from Cuyahoga Arts & Culture. *If you have any questions, or concerns please contact the Cassidy Theatre Box Office at #440-842-4600, open Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Fridays 9:30- 3:30.*

Mamai Theatre Company Presents THREE SISTERS
by Kitty via NEohioPAL 28 May '15

28 May '15

For Immediate Release Contact: Christine McBurney, Co-Producing Artistic Director mamaitheatrecocleveland(a)gmail.com 216.382.5146 Mamai Theatre Company Presents THREE SISTERS by Anton Chekhov Cleveland, Ohio, May 28, 2015 — Mamai Theatre Company opens its third season with new private and public funding grants, two new venues, and a production of Anton Chekhov's beloved classic, THREE SISTERS, directed by Co-Producing Artistic Director, Bernadette Clemens. THREE SISTERS THREE SISTERS follows Olga, Masha, and Irina as they struggle to let go of their past and to shape their future. A domineering sister-in-law, romance, soldiers, and money all challenge the Prozorov family’s happiness and unity. With artful depiction of three very different women, Chekhov fascinates audiences with his ability to articulate the chaos or peace of a single moment and the comedy of life’s struggles. Director Bernadette Clemens notes: “THREE SISTERS is like a very fine still-life painting. The play has rich composition, intriguing contrast, and dark shadow highlighting the most delicate, ephemeral detail. It is everything we suspect a classic of a major playwright to be. Just when we enjoy the most infinitesimal, personal moment --a clock striking, a top spinning, finding a loose fork on the terrace-- Chekhov invites us to peek at the gaping, universal experience: love, war, time. Only Chekhov lets us laugh this way at the very things that are so frustrating, so mysterious about living. In THREE SISTERS, as in all of Chekhov’s plays, life is never about the future. It is inevitably, torturously, gloriously, and comically about the present moment.” Three Sisters by Anton Chekhov Directed by Bernadette Clemens Scenic Design by Don McBride Costume Design by Debbie Marino Sound Design by Bernadette Clemens Lighting Design by Jeff Lockshine Live Music by Joseph Milan, Accordion & Joshua Smalley, Violin JUNE 4 - 21, 2015 Cleveland Masonic Performing Arts Center DeMolay Room 3615 Euclid Avenue Cleveland, Ohio 44115 Thursdays - Saturdays at 7:30 pm Sundays at 2:30 pm See publicity photo of Natalie Green, Anjanette Hall, and Meghan Grover as Chekhov's THREE SISTERS here!
