• Bombeck recounts the family’s ability to recite (and mock) her husband’s staple dinner-table-lectures word for word. What were the lectures that made frequent appearances in your household?

• “My idea of housework was to sweep the room with a glance.” What is the chore you least desire and why? What were the circumstances that prompted you to do that chore, and what would it take to have you do it again?

• Bombeck was passionate about speaking her truth, even if it wasn’t what people wanted to hear. When was a time you shared a hard truth? How did you handle it and how did it make you feel?

The University of Dayton has done so much to preserve the legacy of their famous alum. Not only do they maintain a robust collection of Bombeck-related materials in their library archives, but they've digitized many of them in an online collection that Bombeck fans can read and enjoy. Take some time to peruse the riches they've gathered - and then maybe take a day trip to explore more deeply!

Who's the woman in YOUR life who - like Erma Bombeck - wears many hats, and wears them really well? Maybe it's your own mother or spouse. Perhaps it's a friend whose awesomeness just blows you away. Or is there a teacher or mentor who you've come to admire over the years?

Tell us a little bit about them - and share a picture if you like - by posting on your Facebook or Instagram and tagging the post with #ErmaCPH, or just send your submission to insidecph@clevelandplayhouse.com.

For example, "My great-aunt Bea was a Miltary Mapping Maiden during WWII and was one of a select group of female cartographers who drew up invasion plans for D-Day. She went on to be a wife, mother of 3, philanthropist, secretary, chairwoman of several organizations, and much more!"

Erma Bombeck: At Wit's End is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to solo shows about influential and inspiring women! Did you know that there's an organization here in Ohio, specifically dedicated to theatrical performances about women who have changed the world?

Women in History Ohio is dedicated to educating audiences through the dramatic recreation of the lives of notable women. Actors pick someone in whom they're interested, do research, and then write, costume, and stage a solo performance that can be performed live or virtually for different groups around our state. And several of our Cleveland theatre luminaries are part of the organization.

Check out their website for details on upcoming performances, and make some time to experience one live!
