The Body Play

By Madison Wetzell

Directed by Paige Conway

Through April 13, 2025

“…a creative, devastatingly accurate show depicting what it’s like to live with chronic illness.”

“[The Body Play] accurately portrays the exhaustion, frustration, angst, guilt and moments of hope that those of us with chronic, invisible illnesses experience on a daily basis. Cleveland Public Theatre’s world premiere production is a fine example of how theater can act as an emotional and

intimate vehicle in which we can explore unique versions of the human experience.”

—Cleveland Scene

“Wetzell’s post-COVID play speaks volumes in 2025…”—Dr. Yuko Kurahashi

“Impactful.” “Beautiful.” “Important.” “Astonishing.” “Life-changing.”  “[In my] top 10 out of 10,000 shows”—Audience Members

About the Play

Amy, and Amy's body, take us through a physically comedic journey through chronic illness, unresponsive medical personnel, and an unstable healthcare system while questioning the absurdity of being embodied and what it might mean to be a body.

Featuring: Day Ash, Andrea de la Fuente, Kelly Dunn, Rachel Gold, Erin K. Moran
