Edward Albee, author of 'Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf,' now in production at Beck Center for the Arts, is one of the best known Theatre of the Absurd American writers. This form of theatre, which was at its apex shortly following World War II, is based, in part on philosophical existentialism, which asks 'what is the purpose of existence?'

Beck Center for the Arts opens the first play in the Studio Theater of the 85th Season with Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? Written by three time Tony Award Winner Edward Albee, this American masterpiece gives life to one of the theater's most memorable couples. Winner of five Tony Awards, Albee's work dazzles with dialogue and unforgettable characters. Running October 5 through November 4, 2018 in the Studio Theater. Curtain times are 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays and 3 p.m. Sundays. Tickets are on sale now. Use promotional code COCKTAIL to receive $5 off each adult/senior ticket purchased before October 4.

Greater Cleveland is blessed with a vital theater scene. It has been the purpose of the TIMES THEATER TRIBUTES, now known as BROADWAY WORLD-CLEVELAND REGIONAL PROFESSIONAL THEATER TRIBUTES (BWW-Cle Theater Tributes), to recognize theatrical experiences that, in the subjective view of this reviewer, were excellent and deserve recognition.

The Cleveland area has been and is ripe with playwrights. Mike Geither, David Hansen, Margaret Lynch, Jonathan Wilhelm, Michael Oatman, Eric Schmiedl and Faye Sholiton are only a few of the present-day writers. Historically, Langston Hughes, Jerome Lawrence and Robert E. Lee were proud area playwrights. Probably no local scribe has been more prolific than Eric Coble.

Today, Scream Nation, in conjunction with Live Nation, announced "Let's Dance" The Tour 2016. Let's Dance is a U.S. concert tour starring today's most popular hip-hop choreographed dance music (CDM) artists, Silento, iLOVEMemphis (fka iHEARTMemphis), DLOW, We Are Toonz and 99 Percent. The tour will be co-hosted by #TeamNueEra and also feature Double J, winner of the 2015 Ultimate Mad DJ Competition, along with some of the world's most beloved social media dancers. Kicking off on March 4, 2016 in Miami, Let's Dance will make stops in major cities including Atlanta, Chicago, Detroit, Houston, New York City and Washington, DC. Tickets for "Let's Dance" The Tour 2016 go on sale on Saturday, January 30th at www.LiveNation.com.
