Our first show is PANACHE By Don Gordon Directed By Pat Price In his off-Broadway hit comedy, Panache, playwright Don Gordon creates an unusual relationship between Harry, a fry cook cum artist, depressed by a tragic event in his life, and Kathleen, an upper-class married woman, who turns up at his shabby apartment on an unlikely mission: to obtain the personalized license plate reading PANACHE that has already been issued to Harry. Surely Harry was meant to receive the plate PANCAKE that the DMV has sent her. Harry has his reasons for refusing to exchange plates. Kathleen resolves to use her feminine charms and her checkbook to make Harry fork over the goods. But nothing is simple, and what begins as a ridiculous squabble over a seemingly unimportant matter turns into a poignant, funny, and bumpy ride toward the mending of two broken lives.

Review of The Exonerated @The Beck
by Laura Kennelly 12 Oct '21

12 Oct '21

*The Exonerated*, now playing at the Beck, offers an unexpectedly compelling look at the death penalty. Why “unexpectedly?” Because director Colleen Longshaw skillfully avoids yelling at or lecturing to the audience. Written by Jessica Blank and Erik Jensen, the docudrama presents true accounts of a half dozen wrongfully convicted individuals on death row. Listening to one speaker and then to the next, we learn about their lives, the crime they were convicted of, and the legal decisions that put them on death row. Given that execution cannot be undone and that eventually they were found innocent, their stories make a strong case for abolishing the death penalty. For the full review go to https://coolcleveland.com/2021/10/theater-review-the-exonerated-beck-center…
