Cesear's Forum, Cleveland’s small non-profit professional theatre company, is pleased to announce a performance benefit entitled; CLEVELAND THEATRE STORIES with Lee Mackey & Ron Newell. Presented on Sunday August 12th, the mini-memoir, storytelling and banter are reflections of their past in a manner inspired by John Lithgow’s STORIES BY HEART; but moderated, slightly, by Brian Bowers in a light-hearted Merv Griffin tone. The evening’s simplicity and candor pays tribute to other Cleveland actors and institutions, with a biting and humorous nostalgia that avoids sentimentality. Plain Dealer Theatre Critic Tony Brown wrote of “the radiant and sure-voiced Lee Mackey -- a legend in the Cleveland theater world.” Cleveland Press Theatre Critic Tony Mastroianni wrote: “In addition to Newell's major contribution as an actor, there is another in his work of set decoration.” The party reception begins at 3 pm, performance at 4 pm, further reveling until 6 pm. Sunday, August 12th at: Brothers Lounge, 11609 Detroit Avenue, Cleveland, OH. Suggested minimum donation; $30.00 single person; $50.00 per couple. Cash Bar: Cheese and fruit board. Additional food available for purchase. For additional information: 330-405-3045 or cesearsforum@aol.com. Walk-in guests are
welcomed.
