Mamaí Theatre Company Adds 2017 Season Collaboration with Cleveland State University and Playhouse Square Featuring 5 Leading Roles for Women. Happy Holidays, Northeast Ohio!
Mamaí is pleased to offer a limited June production of Nora Ephron and Delia Ephron's full-length piece for 5 leading women who portray 29 women of all ages in the poignant and entertaining: Love, Loss and What I Wore by Nora Ephron and Delia Ephron, based on the book by Ilene Beckerman with Opening Night Special Guest, Delia Ephron June 8 & 9, 2017 at 7:30pm at Playhouse Square A collaboration between Mamaí Theatre Company, Playhouse Square, and Cleveland State University within the inaugural AHA Festival <http://www.ahacsu.com/#/home> (Arts & Humanities Alive!), the Ephron sisters' play of monologues and ensemble pieces about women, clothes and memory covers all of the important subjects—mothers, prom dresses, mothers, buying bras, mothers, hating purses and why we only wear black. Based on the bestselling book by Ilene Beckerman. "Funny, compelling…Brought down the house…but [the play] is not a comedy: A story about black cowboy boots becomes a sad tale of being under-appreciated in a relationship; a tale of two women shopping for their wedding outfits ends bittersweetly; and the recollection of a new bra is a quiet testament to a women's search for dignity while undergoing treatment for breast cancer." -- The New York Times “Love, Loss and What I Wore” is presented by special arrangement with Dramatists Play Service, Inc., New York. Mamaí Theatre Company Continues its 2017 Summer Season with: THE TESTAMENT OF MARY by Colm Tóibín, with Anne McEvoy Directed by Bernadette Clemens July 5 - 23, 2017 A DOLL’S HOUSE by Henrik Ibsen, adapted by Thornton Wilder Directed by Christine McBurney August 9 - 27, 2017 All shows run Wednesdays-Saturdays at 7:30pm, Sundays at 2:30pm The Helen Rosenfeld Lewis Bialosky Lab Theatre, Playhouse Square More info at www.mamaitheatreco.org
