DEATH AND THE MAIDEN
A democratic age is dawning in an unspecified Latin American country. When her husband offers hospitality to a stranger, Paulina, haunted by her past, believes she recognizes their guest’s voice as that of the man who tortured her 15 years earlier. The 48 hours that follow radically alter the lives of all three. This 1991 thriller gave a new voice to women’s survivorship awareness, and is an unforgettable three-handed acting triumph. 

Mamai Artistic Associate and Director Katia P. Schwarz notes: “What resonates for me is that Paulina’s experiences represent the stories of countless others who have lived through the brutal dictatorships of Latin America, South Africa’s Apartheid era and others. The play serves as a stark reminder of the human rights violations we continue to witness in the world today.”

Local Public Funding Supports & Enriches the Work of Mamai Theatre Company

In 2015, Mamai Theatre Company received over $3,700 in support from Cuyahoga Arts & Culture, which has helped us produce our third season as Cleveland’s newest classical theatre.  This type of funding strengthens our community and enriches the quality of life in our neighborhoods for people of all ages.  We’d like to take this opportunity to tell you a little bit more about this extremely important funding partner.

The financial support received from the residents of Cuyahoga County through Cuyahoga Arts & Culture will help Mamai Theatre Company bring you our third production this season: Ariel Dorfman’s important play, Death and the Maiden.  In keeping with our mission to create equal opportunity for women in the professional theatre, this production features a strong female protagonist and is directed by a woman.

Cuyahoga Arts & Culture is the public funder of arts and culture organizations, programs and events in Cuyahoga County.  Cuyahoga Arts & Culture’s sole funding source is a dedicated cigarette tax levied within Cuyahoga County. Established by voters in 2007, CAC has awarded over 1,200 grants since then, distributing over $125 million in tax dollars to more than 300 organizations based in the County. 

Cuyahoga Arts & Culture’s sole funding source is a dedicated tax within Cuyahoga County. Renewal of this funding source will be on the ballot on November 3 for voters to consider. Please take a few minutes to learn more about this important source of public funding and Cuyahoga Arts & Culture by visiting their website: cacgrants.org.
