Review of The Prom
by Laura Kennelly 08 Nov '21

08 Nov '21

*The Prom*, a light-hearted tribute to high school social life, recent Broadway musicals, and narcissists, opened its national tour last week at Connor Palace. Layered with song, satire, do-gooding and allusions to hit musicals, this 2019 Drama Desk Award winner seems a perfect choice to re-open a new post-pandemic (we hope) season. https://coolcleveland.com/2021/11/theater-review-the-prom-playhouse-square-…

THE MIRROR EFFECT by Oana Leuca - Thu, Nov 11 @ 7pm
by Playwrights Local 08 Nov '21

08 Nov '21

Playwrights Local Presents A Staged Reading of a New Play THE MIRROR EFFECT Written by Oana Leuca Directed by Christine McBurney Thursday, November 11 | 7:00 pm Free | Tickets or Reservations Not Required Playwrights Local 397 East 156th Street Cleveland, OH 44110 INFO www.playwrightslocal.org/2021-2022-roundtable-series/ SAFETY Audience members will be required to show proof of vaccination against COVID-19 and to wear masks inside the venue. With certain restrictions, exceptions can be made for children under 12 and attendees with conflicting medical conditions or religious beliefs. Consult our policy at www.playwrightslocal.org/safety/. FEATURING Lana Sugarman Samantha Cocco Heidi Hackney Molly McFadden Amiee Collier Nadia Tarnawsky Tammy Shanley SYNOPSIS The Mirror Effect presents Amanda Reis, a self-searching female writer who explores her inner life through language and disguise. Her story is inspired by the lives and work of other female artists (Sylvia Plath, Virginia Woolf, Anne Sexton, Marylin Monroe, etc.). Her poetic monologue is an astronaut’s shout in space, a place where sound waves can’t travel. She is a clown afraid of clowns, an actress trying to free herself from her persona. ABOUT THE PLAYWRIGHT Oana Leuca is a Romanian-born poet and playwright. She immigrated to the USA in 2018 and is currently pursuing her MFA in playwriting through the NEOMFA. At the 2020 NEOMFA Playwrights Festival, convergence-continuum produced one of her plays, Autopoiesis. In April 2020, she won the Leonard Trawick Scholarship in creative writing. ABOUT THE COMPANY Playwrights Local is a theater company in Cleveland. As a playwrights’ center, our goal is to provide a home for dramatic writing in Northeast Ohio.
