You remember the many "Best of Broadway" and "Apprentice Theatre" shows I choreographed at Baldwin Wallace and Cassidy? You know what boundary violations and power dynamics are??

You are to be quiet, as the scene shop artists are working. We run a year-round operation here. KID WITH BRACES: What’s that bear on your belt? POLLY: Oh him? This is Banjo. Banjo keeps me company and lets me know if you kids act up. He was a gift from my husband when we got married. See, he wears his gold chain that shows off his chest hair. *(Polly takes the bear off her belt to hold him up to the group of kids and massages the bear’s chest with her index finger.)* *(Polly reattaches Banjo to her belt loop.)(Polly then opens the backstage door using a push handle wrapped in black muslin to quiet the closing sound.) * ----- Read the entire Act I, plus the forensic analysis, for FREE HERE: https://www.clevelandcurtaincurmudgeon.com/projects/backstage-project/act-i/ Also available to read: My First Gentleman Admirer, HERE: https://www.clevelandcurtaincurmudgeon.com/projects/backstage-project/my-fi… My First Gentleman Admirer is about the actor Kevin Jokesmith Kelsey attempting to court the sixteen-year-old crew member, Chad.

Jimmie Woody Directs Two Trains Running

Beck Center for the Arts Produces Drama Full of Stories and Steam in August Wilson's Two Trains Running Get your PREVIEW $15 tickets for Thursday at BeckCenter.org.<https://beckcenter.my.salesforce-sites.com/ticket/#/events/a0SUq00000CFOuLM…> Lakewood, OH-Beck Center for the Arts<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.beckcenter.org_&d=D…> is pleased to once again produce a poignant work by Black playwright August Wilson, with Two Trains Running. As a finalist for the 1992 Pulitzer Prize in Drama, August Wilson's Two Trains Running is a taunt drama filled with relatable characters with lyrical dialogue that lures the audience into the story. Memphis Lee's coffee shop lies in Pittsburgh's Hill District, a neighborhood on the brink of economic development. Like most neighborhood hang outs, you'll find the sage elder statesman, an ex-con, a numbers runner, a quiet waitress with a past, and a man with special needs who is looking for his ham. Compared to works by Chekhov, in this drama Wilson reveals the hopes and dreams of a community on the brink of change in the 1960s. Local award-winning director, Jimmie Woody states, "I'm really looking forward to directing Two Trains Running.<https://beckcenter.org/theater/two-trains-running> I'm not interested in repeating what was done with Jitney in the 2024 season, but in engaging this play on its own terms, through the talent of this cast and the beauty of August Wilson's<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/August_Wilson> language, which continues to inspire me and push me to make this production something special." August Wilson's Two Trains Running, directed by Jimmie Woody will run in the intimate Studio Theater from February 27 through March 29, 2026. Presented in arrangement with Concord Theatricals. "Wilson's most delicate and mature work."
