Adam
Rapp's Stone Cold Dead Serious
June 3- 18, 2005
|
We’ll visit a house on our street. You know
the one. No one has ever been inside. The Ledbetter’s
live there. We hear the dad has a bad back so he can’t
work, the mom’s got a weird fixation with saints,
the daughter is a drug addict and keeps stealing from
them... And then there's the son, a computer genius,
who's strapping his family's hope on his back and
playing a real life version of a video game. Let's
watch as he battles to the death or claims the million
dollar prize.

Past Performances
WAIT
Gregory Vovos directs Julie Jensen's poignant new comedy WAIT!
Wendy Burger (Jen Clifford) searches for her identity as she gets
acting tips from Floating Piñata Head (Meg Chamberlain),
spiritual challenges from the Greeks, and helps the ever-flamboyant
Lu (Randy Rollison) restore the old theatre to its former glory.
CHARGE
February 13-February 28, 2004 at the Cleveland
Public Theatre. Thurs-Sat at 8:00, Sunday at 3:00.
Lounging in bed your entire life in a giant
steel room protecting you from the salmon sky, while simultaneously
feeling the strife of "The Hood," watching your veins
disappear, betting your toes, all the while, having your own personal
electronic assistants act out your every whim, dream and desire.
The future never looked so bright. But, of course some things
don't change…no matter how comfortable your bed is. Samuel
Beckett meets Boyz n the Hood in Eric Kaiser's electrifying tragicomedy.
The electryifying tragicomedy Charge takes us into
the future, many years after the sky has spoiled, into the bedroom
of husband and wife George (Kato Buss) and Martha (Jill Levin).
Confined to this room, their every need and desire is attended
to by their synthetic friends, Gigi (Marni Task) and Pierre (the
great Joe Milan). While George gambles for toes on-line, the emotionally-starved
Martha obsesses over the characters from Boyz N the Hood to
make herself feel something real. At the periphery of all this
is an intruder from the outside world, Chiclet (Perren Hedderson),
a creature who is ill and whose only desire is to sell chiclets.
