Cesear's Forum presents Joanna McClelland Glass' TRYING in a brief November/December engagement at Kennedy's Down Under, PlayhouseSquare, Cleveland, Ohio. The semi-autobiographical play concerns the evolving working relationship between the aging Judge Biddle (FDR's Attorney General and the Chief Justice of the Nuremberg War Crimes Trials) and his newly appointed young secretary. Featuring Glenn Colerider & Tricia Bestic, the witty dialog is both acerbic and engaging. Joanna McClelland Glass' TRYING, Fri. & Sat. at 8 pm, Nov. 4th thru Dec. 10th, Sunday Matinée, Nov. 20th at 3 pm. All seats $15. Performances at Kennedy's Down Under, PlayhouseSquare, 1501 Euclid Avenue, Cleveland. Call 216-241-6000 or www.playhousesquare.org.

Cesear's Forum is grateful to the Bonne Bell Family Foundation, the Bay Foundation, the Ohio Arts Council, the George Gund Foundation and T. Clarke Benton for Sponsorship support. The majority of our patronage still comes from individual gifts and small fund raising events.

"Sometimes words, by themselves or in recurrent patterns, will blaze up in fiery exchanges or subside in aching whispers; sometimes a grimace, a tear, the movement of a hand, or a break in speech will hint better than spoken language what passes show.”

The above words of author Marvin Rosenberg embody the aim of Cesear’s Forum: to produce plays that combine social commitment with theatrical experimentation, works that shine light on the gamut of human experience.  Earned income through box office revenue is not enough to sustain the work we do.  Individual donors are essential to healthy balance sheets, as are corporate, private foundation and government funding sources. 

German sculpturer, Willi Schmidt once said, "the dignity of a nation will not be judged by her ability to make money, but by her ability to produce art." We ask you to help Cesear's Forum continue to produce art in northeast Ohio by making a tax-deductible contribution. Your gift will not only help with our immediate operating expenses but will demonstrate necessary individual and community support.

A gift in any amount would be greatly appreciated and we will be proud to list you as a contributor in our 2011-12 production program. Together, we will continue our pursuit as a minimalist theatre company, dedicated to production excellence through unique, timely and often unknown plays. Please let us add your name to our list of supporters.
