Radio Golf Neighborhood Journal

Radio Golf Neighborhood Journal

August Wilson’s Radio Golf asks the questions, “Can you build the future without bulldozing the past?” Our area is in a time of transition right now, too, and we wanted to know how our audiences’ neighborhoods have changed. A 4’x8’ version of this map of Cuyahoga County is in the Allen Lobby, and people are placing a pin where they live—green for positive change, red for negative—then sharing their stories in our Neighborhood Journal. We’ll be posting selected Journal entries online throughout the run of Radio Golf, so check back to see how your experiences compare.

Content Advisory for In Arabia We'd All Be Kings

February 06, 2012 by Ron Wilson - Director, CWRU/CPH MFA Acting Program in CWRU/MFA Acting Program

The CWRU/CPH MFA Acting Program is charged with training actors for the professional theater.  The fact that the program is housed in a professional theater adds an expectation of high standards of artistry in the work audiences see on the CPH stage.

For the students to have experiences that will give them the tools necessary to meet the needs of the profession, the training has to encompass a broad range of material and performance styles. 

As we look for appropriate scripts, one of the main considerations of the program is to expose the students to plays that are rich in language and character.  These choices have run the gamut from Shakespeare to Moliere, to Anton Chekhov and Tennessee Williams and William Inge,... more

The Season of August

February 03, 2012 by Cosandra Wheeler, Group Sales Manager in Radio Golf

The Season of August

For some, August Wilson is African-American Theater.  His plays are the ones most likely to appear in anthologies as representative of the works of African-American drama. His prolific career as a playwright is highlighted by the signature achievement of having written ten dramas - his Pittsburgh Cycle - wherein each play takes place in a different decade of the twentieth century.  Wilson's plays portray the African-American experience as a conglomeration of history, poetry and everyday life.  

Cleveland Play House is proud to join 4 other NE Ohio area theatres who are all producing works by August Wilson this year.

A Look Inside the 'In Arabia We'd All Be Kings' Set

A Look Inside the 'In Arabia We'd All Be Kings' Set

The upcoming CWRU/CPH MFA Acting Program production of In Arabia We’d All Be Kings takes inspiration from various places in order to capture the feel of New York City in the 1990s. In the midst of Rudy Giuliani’s efforts to clean up the city, the play centers around a local bar where the main characters find solace from their daily struggles.

The production’s Scenic Designer Tiffany Scribner used a variety of materials to capture the essence of this time in New York City commenting, “The main locations in the play are the bar and exterior street scenes. The bar, which used to be a very beautiful piece of carpentry, is now a dirty, gritty, thing with names carved in it, cigarette burns... more
