Comedy and manners offer a tongue-lashing, suspenseful assault on Victorian values. An attractive stranger invades the domestic bliss of Lady & Lord Windermere, and her past has the potential to drastically alter their future. Lord Darlington plays a hand. All bets hinge on chance, fate, accident... and a fan.* *With...**Mary Alice Beck, Tari Lyn Bergoine, Heather Anderson Boll*, Hannah Cohen Robert Hawkes, Stuart Hoffman, Rachel Lee Kolis+, Doug Kusak Jill Levin, Lynna Metrisin, Nate Miller, Patrick Mooney Chris Ross, Laura Starnik+, Carrie Williams, Tony Zanoni+* ** Member, Actors Equity Association *+ *Equity Membership Candidate * *THE WOMAN HATER - **U.S. Premiere!* *By Fanny Burney Directed by Christine McBurney **Scenic Design by Don McBride Costume Design by Angelina Herin Lighting Design by Robert Peck Sound Design by Richard Ingraham Properties Design by Monica Plunkett AUGUST 18-SEPTEMBER 4 * Cleveland Masonic Performing Arts Center <http://www.clevelandmasonicauditorium.com/> DeMolay Room, 3615 Euclid Avenue, Cleveland *An absurdly satirical indictment of the excesses of both men and women, this 1802 comedy remained unproduced until 2003. When Sir Roderick is jilted by Lady Smatter, he proclaims himself a woman-hater and is determined to keep his young heir away from the opposite sex. Identities are mistaken, social pretensions are deliciously exposed, and the gender constructs of wifely and daughterly duties are boldly upended — bringing forth a new kind of heroine.* *With...* *Rocky Encalada+, Dylan Freeman, TJ Gainley*, **Khaki Hermann Rachel Lee Kolis+, Doug Kusak, Gus Mahoney, **Marcia Mandell Meg Martinez+, Nate Miller, John Polk, Michael Regnier **Shannon Sharkey, Evan Thompson, Natalie Welch, Carrie Williams *** Member, Actors Equity Association * + *Equity Membership Candidate* *A RETURN TO THE CLEVELAND MASONIC PERFORMING ARTS CENTER <http://www.clevelandmasonicauditorium.com/> at 3615 Euclid Ave., in Cleveland, *which features ample free parking, air conditioning.
