The “Perfect Musical” Now Playing in Lakewood

fiddler.jpgFiddler on the Roof, what Uncle Fred says is best described as the “perfect musical” is now playing at the Beck Center in Lakewood. Now 45 years old, this musical depicting the life of Jews in Russia is just as enjoyable as it was in its first time on stage back in 1964.

Playing until October 18, for more information check out the Beck Center online.

Wordplay

Wordplay is an offbeat mix of poetry, comedy, and an ongoing exploration of the possibilities of the spoken word. Wordplay's opening monologue blends music and language (and sometimes sound effects) into a surreal, funny, often darkly serious meditation on the state of one man's struggles to live in the bewildering world of contemporary America. The show also features guest appearances by local poets and nationally known writers. But the real strength of Wordplay is the interaction between co-hosts George Bilgere and John Donoghue. The two poets read short, interesting poems by important writers. They banter about poetry, argue about it, and generally give each other a hard time. A Plain Dealer article about Wordplay called the show "the Click and Clack of poetry." Not a bad description.
