“Above and Beyond” & “The Silence” [2 1-Act Plays]
Sun., Nov. 18, 2:30-4:30 p.m. 216-302-8856info@playwrightslocal.org
Theatrical Events
Playwrights Local presents the world premiere of two one-act plays by Cleveland authors. “Above and Beyond” is written by Faye Sholiton and directed by Craig Joseph. Set in 1973, this drama concerns two Air Force pilots who report to their launch center in a state of alert. They could be called upon to destroy a distant city, then live with the results. “The Silence of Dr & Mrs Caligari” is a theatrical reimagining of the showman and “somnambulist” from Robert Wiene’s classic film of 1920. This formally expressive work meditates on music, language, and human nature...all with a cruel humor. $18 Adults | $15 Seniors & Groups | $12 Students

The Musical Theatre Project Presents: Just for Laughs
Sun., Nov. 18, 3-5:30 p.m. 800-801-7407Comedy, Theatrical Events
What makes us laugh at a song in a musical? Sometimes it's the brilliant wordplay in a lyric (Yip Harburg's "Lydia, the Tattooed Lady"). Sometimes it's the shenanigans of an outrageous performer (Nathan Lane), or the character being played by that performer (Max Bialystock). Or sometimes it's all three, like Bert Lahr bellowing his way through the Cowardly Lion's "If I Were King of the Forest" in The Wizard of Oz. When that happens, we connect more deeply with our dreams, joys and frustrations. In short, our laughter brings us closer to ourselves. $30 - $55

A Christmas Story
Fri., Nov. 23Theatrical Events
A Christmas Story, a near-genius piece of American reminiscence, is so period-perfect and charming that the squishy sentimentality (of which there is plenty) never leads to saccharine reflux. Philip Grecian is listed as the playwright, but everyone understands that the bulk of insights and telling detail comes from the mind of Jean Shepherd, who wrote the original story, co-authored the movie, and narrated the flick in his distinctive, triple-wry voice. The Cleveland Play House's production of Story rides a two-hour wave of intricate details to unerringly establish the period and to help even the youngest patrons make the leap back to a time before televisions were omnipresent and cowboy hero Red Ryder was king of the wireless. See it tonight at 7:30 at the Allen Theatre. Performances continue through Dec. 23. Tickets are $25 to $97. (Christine Howey)
Chicago
Tue., Nov. 27Theatrical Events
The production of the Tony Award-winning, record-breaking hit musical Chicago that takes place tonight at 7:30 at the Connor Palace features former NFL star Eddie George in the role of Billy Flynn. That's reason enough to see the play about fame, fortune and "all that jazz." Tickets start at $10, and performances continue through Dec. 2. (Niesel)
