Berko review: Alfred Hitchcock's THE39 STEPS
by Roy Berko 01 May '22

01 May '22

* •••••••••••••••••••••••••••* *Capsule judgment: Having seen superb productions of THE 39 STEPS in London and Canada, the level was high for my attending the show at GLT. Unfortunately, though the local staging is adequate, it was not all that the staging of the clever script can be. The pacing was much too slow and the absurdity too controlled. Audiences not aware of what could be may be delighted by the Jaclyn Miller directed show. Those in the know will probably be disappointed.* *To read the entire review go to: *https://royberkinfo.blogspot.com/ *To read the capsule judgements of the other Cleveland reviewers go to: * *www.clevelandtheaterreviews.com* <http://www.clevelandtheaterreviews.com/> *••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••*

Baldwin Wallace Senior Showcase at Beaumont This Coming Friday
by Bruce Hennes 01 May '22

01 May '22

*The Baldwin Wallace Musical Theater Department, Beaumont School and JWP Productions Present* *The Baldwin Wallace Music Theater* *Senior Class Showcase* *Opening act to be announced* *Friday, May 6, 2022* *Location: Beaumont School in Cleveland Heights* *6:30 pm show* / $20 per person / Order tickets here: https://www.instantseats.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=home.event&eventid=0277F6… *8:30 pm show* / $20 per person / Order tickets here: https://www.instantseats.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=home.event&eventid=0277F7… Both shows are the same. After four grueling years of school, the Baldwin Wallace Musical Theater seniors went to New York City in mid-April and put it all on the line. They spent months creating and rehearsing an original, exciting, tightly-choreographed, non-stop theatrical production to showcase each student in front of the Broadway casting directors and agents who have the power to put them on stage in regional touring productions, cruise ships, TV shows and movies - and the ultimate goal for many, the Broadway stage. The Senior Showcase took place in Manhattan last month, but the students are bringing this show to the Beaumont School stage one last time this coming Friday, May 6 at 6:30 pm, repeating the show at 8:30 pm -- and at the very end, when they all join hands and take that final bow, it will be the last time this group of students ever appear together on a single stage. For more than 15 years, we did this showcase on the Nighttown stage, It was always an emotional experience for the kids, their parents – and the audience, too. This is a show you won't want to miss. --------------------------------------------------------- For group sales (10 tickets or more) or questions, call Bruce Hennes at 216-978-2047. *PARKING INFORMATION* - The theater at Beaumont School in Cleveland Heights is on Fairmount Blvd., just east of Lee Road. The entrance to the theater is "behind" Beaumont - - Do NOT use the front entrance to Beaumont on North Park. - We are anticipating a sell-out audience for both shows, so parking in the Beaumont lot immediately adjacent to the theater is going to be tight. Once that parking lot is filled to capacity, we'll block off the lot and you will find parking on the adjacent side streets. - Because of this, please allow a little extra time to arrive before the show. - Ticket buyers will receive complete, easy-to-read directions before the event. *COVID-19 Policy: We are going to use whatever policy Playhouse Square has in-place at the time of performance. As of today (and subject to change at any time), audience members are encouraged, but not mandated to wear a mask. Guests who are unvaccinated must wear a mask. We ask that all audience members be respectful of one another's choices. Guests exhibiting symptoms of COVID-19 or who have tested positive within the last 14 days must stay home. * -- *Hennes Communications* Crisis Communications | Reputation Management | Litigation Communications | Media Training w 216-321-7774 ext. 101 | c 216-978-2047 <hennes(a)crisiscommunications.com>| www.crisiscommunications.com

* •••••••••••••••••••••••••••Capsule judgment: Several years-ago I ended my review of Dobama’s production of Posner’s STUPID F**KING BIRD with the comment: “As a person present at the very start of Dobama, I would say that Donald Bianchi, the theater’s founder, would approve and be delighted that ‘his’ theater is still fulfilling ‘his’ dream.” For LIFE SUCKS, I conclude: “Ditto!” My recommendation?

Spring Bulb Fundraiser to Raise Money to Bring FREE Arts programming to Greater Cleveland
by Margaret Reardon 29 Apr '22

29 Apr '22

Thank you for your interest in supporting PRISM: Education and Enrichment Through the Arts, an initiative dedicated to offering free arts- based programming across age groups, income levels and arts disciplines with a special focus on the underserved and the marginalized. What do PRISM programs look like? Here are some examples: • Free concerts at community centers for all ages • Free creative writing programs for seniors to keep them sharp and connected • Free programs in the schools to enhance curriculum • Free story hours in preschools • Free activities for the differently abled • Free programming of all kinds for people emerging from trauma And as everyone on this list knows, it's crucial the artists and educators who create and present these programs be appropriately compensated, and the funds raised will be used for that purpose. The more we raise the more we can do together, and the faster all our pandemic hit bank accounts in the arts community can be replenished as well. Browse the selections here and place your orders my May 15th and feel free to share | | | | | Margaret Reardon Margaret Reardon Marketing LLC | | | | | 440-292-7739 | | | margaret(a)margaretreardonmarketing.com | | | | www.margaretreardonmarketing.com | | |
