Event Description
Cesear's Forum presents Joanna McClelland Glass' CANADIAN GOTHIC & AMERICAN MODERN, two one-act plays that frames an intersection of American and Canadian perspectives from 1910 to 1976 with nods to current events.
These two plays share exchanges of dialog directly to the audience and then to onstage characters. The telling illuminates time, place, societal concerns and the personal struggles with a quizzical reflection of worldviews. The former concerns Saskatchewan family life on the prairie and the conflicts of a young girl in love with an indigenous native Canadian. The latter addresses middle-aged commuter suburban life and the couple's youthful scavenger relationship with tangible bric-a-brac.
Sponsored in part by Cuyahoga Arts and Culture and the Bonne Belle Family Foundation.
