2/26-28: Hum at Cleveland Public Theatre

Wes Roj says he was recruited by his friend and fellow Hawken School alumni Sebastian Orr to direct Orr’s Hum after it was accepted into Cleveland Public Theatre’s Big [BOX] series. The play tells four seemingly disparate stories that have common circumstances — all of which are tied together by the end of the piece. The stories are based on memories of four characters who have died: a young man meeting his ex-girlfriend, a young woman who loses her job and takes a road trip, a professor who uses math and philosophy to figure out why she lost her son, and David, “who tells the story of a nighttime visitor who made things clear to him at the end of his life,” says Roj. Hum plays at 7:30 p.m. tonight and tomorrow and at 3 p.m. Sunday at Cleveland Public Theatre (6415 Detroit Ave., 216.631.2727). Tickets: $12-$15. — Michael Gill
