Fri 6/12-Sun 6/14
Cleveland Play House’s annual New Ground Theatre Festival gives local theater lovers the opportunity to see something a bit fresher and potentially more challenging than the average stage fare. It focuses on new plays in the workshop stage, providing the playwrights, actors and directors with audience input to take their works to their next stage.
On Friday June 12, the festival will present Sandra Delgado’s The Untitled Navarro Sisters Play, a commissioned work with music about a 1920s Chicago-based Panamanian vocal quartet. It features songs in both English and Spanish that the women sang as part of their concerts and on radio.
On Saturday June 13 and Sunday June 14, audiences can get a preview of Sharone Sayegh’s The Goldsmith, the story of her family’s journey from Iraq to Israel to the U.S. told through gold jewelry passed own through generations.
On June 13, it will also perform Sister Chemistry, which parallels the lives of two pairs of sisters, one in Cleveland in 1995 and the other in Poland in 1885 comparing and contrasting their family relationships, their careers and their lives.
