  • Who Would You Trust to Tell Your Story?
    WHO WOULD YOU TRUST TO TELL YOUR STORY? Who would you trust to tell your story? That was the question that Cleveland activist Johanna Orozco-Fraser and journalist Rachel Dissell had to contemplate when playwright and director Tlaloc Rivas contacted them. His first email, sent on New Year's Day 2014, said in part: Your story came to my attention years ago. As you know, [Johanna's] story is an inspiration to many Latinos and young women across the country. I share your belief that stories and storytelling have the potential for social change. The plays I create aim to tell stories that provoke a conversation about important subjects between artists and audiences. I believe that Johanna's story has that potential. As it happens, I will be traveling to Cleveland [soon]... I'd like to talk with you about whether a play inspired by your articles can happen. The three met just a couple of weeks later. Orozco-Fraser, who survived a near-fatal attack by her ex-boyfriend and became a leading advocate for change in Ohio's domestic violence laws, had become lasting friends with Dissell, a Plain Dealer reporter, as Rachel wrote a series of articles chronicling Johanna's recovery in 2007 (the complete 9-part series is available here). Both friends decided that Rivas deserved their trust. They gave their blessing to his effort to bring their story to the stage. Just hours later, CPT Executive Artistic Director Raymond Bobgan offered the project a home at this theatre. As Rivas began to shape the script, Orozco-Fraser and Dissell became treasured advisors and collaborators on this new telling of the story.

  • Starring Jake Gyllenhaal, Ruth Wilson
    January 13, 2015 Audra McDonald and Alan Cumming in a Reading of ‘Kiss of the Spider Woman’ By Patrick Healy Could a Broadway revival of the acclaimed musical “Kiss of the Spider Woman” be on the horizon? A multiday reading of the show, the 1993 Tony Award winner for best musical, was held last week with three big theater names playing the major roles: Audra McDonald as the title character, Alan Cumming as the gay prisoner Molina, and Steven Pasquale as the Marxist revolutionary Valentin. The Tony-winning director John Tiffany (“Once”) oversaw the reading, which was organized by the producer Tom Kirdahy (“It’s Only a Play”). Mr. Kirdahy is married to the show’s book writer, Terrence McNally, and is working with the “Spider Woman” composer, John Kander, on this spring’s Broadway revival of “The Visit.” (“Spider Woman” has lyrics by Fred Ebb.) Mr. Kirdahy, in a telephone interview on Tuesday, said that he was “thrilled” with the reading and that the actors and Mr. Tiffany were pleased as well. “I think everyone is interested in having further conversations, but there is no game plan for a production at this point,” Mr. Kirdahy said. Based on the 1976 novel by Manuel Puig, “Spider Woman” centers on the relationship between two prisoners in a Latin American country and the fixation of one of them on movies and a diva known for many roles, including a deadly spider woman. The show ran on Broadway for two years and won Tonys for its three main actors as well as best book and best score, among others.
