BWW Reviews: none too fragile's, ON THE LINE, Compelling Script and Acting at its Finest
by Roy Berko - July 29, 2013
Sean Derry and Alanna Romansky, co-directors of none too fragile theater, have a knack for picking scripts that insight and excite. They reach for creating dissonance in the minds of the audience. In their short existence, the theatre has taken on the Israeli-Palestine conflict, racial hatred, and now unionism and big business. No wonder the venue bills itself as 'Akron and Northeast Ohio's home for kick-a** theater!.'
Nick Blaemire, Michael Berry, Jodie Langel and Adrienne Warren Set for THE WHO'S TOMMY BC/EFA Concert Tonight
by BWW News Desk - July 29, 2013
When 18-year old Orange High School senior Miles Sternfeld began preparing for his senior project, he knew exactly what he wanted to do: bring Broadway to Cleveland. And that's exactly what he's done. With the help of mentor, Sean Szaller (who also serves as the production's musical director), Sternfeld set out to produce a one-night only benefit performance of 'The Who's Tommy' which, coincidentally, was the first full blown musical he was in as a child. Miles was also very clear that he wanted all proceeds from this production to benefit Broadway Cares - and Joe Norton at BC/EFA was happy to jump on board to offer his support.

BWW Reviews: SELF DEFENSE Offers a View of a Female Serial Killer at Convergence Continuum
by Roy Berko - July 26, 2013
Clyde Simon, the Artistic Director of convergence-continuum, never steers clear of in-your-face, lurid language-laced scripts.

BWW Reviews: A Clevelander's View of the Stratford Festival
by Roy Berko - July 25, 2013
