The Cleveland Play House is excited to announce that Mimi Kennedy, best known for playing Dharma's hippie mom Abby on ABC's 'Dharma & Greg,' will star as Ann Landers in The Lady With All the Answers by David Rambo (God's Man In Texas, The Ice-Breaker).

Adam Gwon's Ordinary Days will be peformed from June 10, 2010 to June 27, 2010.
In this Regional Premiere of a new musical, four young New Yorkers? lives intertwine, sometimes knowingly and sometimes when they haven?t even met. Lost thesis notes; confetti fraught with fortune-cookie wisdom; loves sought, avoided, won and lost all combine to turn ordinary days and Ordinary Days into something extraordinary. Playwright/composer Adam Gwon won the 2008 Fred Ebb Award for Musical Theatre Songwriting. When Ordinary Days played in London, What?s Onstage called it 'brilliantly written.'
Richard Dresser's Rounding Third will be performed March 11, 2010 - March 28, 2010.
What better way to celebrate spring than the crack of the bat, the roar of the crowd, and two Little League coaches going head to head in what has to be the only baseball play to include Brigadoon, living in a van, and the fine art of equipment bag stuffing. Baseball buff Don, for whom winning is the only thing, is stuck with assistant coach Michael, who wants trophies for everyone, and whose only youth sport was, uh, well, curling. In Canada. The result is an exploding scoreboard worth of laughs.
The Human Race Theatre Company annonces the 2009-2010 Eichelberger Loft Season. From Little League to the Big Apple, from the glory that was Spain to the glamour that is Cleveland, from Charles Dickens to David Hare, the 2009-2010 Eichelberger Loft Season of The Human Race Theatre Company will present loads of laughs, scores of songs, and even titillate the intellect a bit.
Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol will be performed from December 10 - December 27. The show is adapted by Leigh Allan and Scott Stoney and has music arranged by Gregg Coffin.
The 2008 premiere of this adaptation of the Dickens classic, designed especially for The Loft, was such a hit we?re making it a holiday tradition. Catch the spirit, and the spirits, as a Christmas party brings forth the tale of Scrooge's evolution from the grim miser of bah and humbug to a light-hearted spreader of joy. It?s a production true to the original, but with a new twist or two to add to the fun plus a wealth of delightful Christmas caroling.

The Human Race Theatre Company will bring a new musical about the rags-to-riches life of one of the 20th century's most acclaimed performers to The Loft Theatre in June. Ethel Waters: His Eye Is On The Sparrow tells Waters' story, from birth to a 13-year old mother in a Philadelphia slum, through massive trials and travails, to becoming a star of nightclubs, recordings, Broadway, film and the Billy Graham Crusade.
While His Eye Is On The Sparrow presents a happy opportunity for local audiences to see a fine new work, one that includes such massive hits for Waters as the title song and 'Stormy Weather,' the event that led to its selection is a sad one. August Wilson's Gem of the Ocean, part of the late playwright's famed Pittsburgh Cycle, had been scheduled for June, but will not be performed.
