Angelic Music, Terrestrial Sojourn
February 25, 2008
Trained in Havana, Cuba at conservatory and friends since the age of nine, Eva Blanco, Giselle Pedraza and Daiyana Rodriguez banded into a musical group in their early teens. The instruments they each chose to specialize in created an ensemble of clarinet, guitar, and lute, and the ethereal quality that combination produces inspired the bishop of the Methodist Church in Cuba to dub them Angeles en la Tierra, Angels on the Earth, and further to encourage them to begin to tour. They’ve been together, and touring Cuba, Pennsylvania, and New York ever since, but recently in a nod to their new language, English, they have come instead to call themselves, Cuban Tres.

Worthington Players presents LOVE LETTERS
February 12, 2008
Love is in the air as Worthington Players presents LOVE LETTERS, opening Friday February 8 and continuing through February 17 2008, at the Shawnee Playhouse.
Over a lifetime, letters are exchanged between two people who grew up together, went their separate ways, but continue to share confidences. They carry on a friendship across 50 years of correspondence—at college, then through their travels, careers, and relationships. As the actors read the letters aloud, they create an evocative, touching, frequently funny but always telling portrait in which what is implied is as meaningful as what is revealed.

The Northeast Theatre Presents TIME. TIMING. TIMELESS. - Two evenings of comedy by David Ives
February 12, 2008
Five Actors, Ten Plays, Two Evenings
David Ives is a very funny man. He writes plays that have been variously called brilliant, dazzling, hilarious, and intellectually rare. But what director Mary Ethel Schmidt has found as she approached The Northeast Theatre’s mini-festival of Ives’ work entitled Time.Timing.Timeless. is that the ten plays included in this two-evening series are also very moving. “They fall into three types,” she explains, “journeys of intense yearning, statements of profound goodness, and examples of the delirium that results from being trapped by language.” The overall effect of these evenings is the message that human beings are good and that the human spirit perseveres though all the boundaries we set for ourselves, ultimately to find love. Time.Timing.Timeless. begins previews at Performance Space at the Hotel Jermyn on February 27, and will play with Shows A & B alternating Wednesdays through Sundays through March 16.
