*Subject: New novel about **NE Ohio theater community benefits NEohioPAL* I’m thrilled to announce that award-winning theater critic Bob Abelman’s first fictional book, “All the World’s a Stage Fright: Misadventures of a Clandestine Critic,” has just been published! When you buy a copy of this funny and fast-paced novel from https://www.grayco.com/coupon/neohiopal/, NEohioPAL gets a $5 per book donation to help it remain a free and vibrant resource for the local theater community. “All the World’s a Stage Fright” is a fictionalized memoir about a theater critic who takes an acting role in a top-tier production of “As You Like It” in order to write about the experience. He must overcome a mind-numbing fear of Shakespeare, share the stage with actors he has panned in the past, and avoid getting panned by his fellow critics. I loved reading this book and think you'll enjoy it as well. But don't just take my word for it … “I literally couldn’t stop smiling. ‘All the World’s a Stage Fright’ is a valentine and Abelman’s unfailing love of Cleveland theater comes through loud and clear.” ~Vicky Bussert, Director of Music Theatre, Baldwin Wallace University "Fast, punchy and funny. Combines a warm-hearted comic look at the terrors of creation with nuggets of history and context. It's one of those rare escapist reads where you come out a bit smarter than you went in." ~Eric Coble, playwright "Funny. Utterly delightful. Totally believable … a hilarious, but true-to-life, glimpse into the madcap and magical process of putting on a play. I enjoyed every minute of it." ~John Rubinstein, Tony Award-winning actor (Pippin, Ragtime) Go to: https://www.grayco.com/coupon/neohiopal/ -- Fred Sternfeld Neohiopal Ltd.
