The Demon Barber of Fleet Street
Lakeland Theatre and Lakeland Community College
are delighted to present Stephen Sondheim’s
and Hugh Wheeler’s Tony Award winning Sweeney
Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, at Lakeland
Community College's Performing Arts Center. The musical
runs for 10 performances February 6th through
February 22, 2009.
Lakeland’s production features two of Cleveland’s
most celebrated actors, Dan Folino (Equus and Beauty
and the Beast) as Sweeney Todd and Alison Garrigan
(Hedwig and the Angry Inch) as Mrs. Lovett. The show
is directed by Martin Friedman, Larry Goodpaster is
the Musical Director and Trad A. Burns is the set and
lighting designer.
Victorian England is the setting for Sweeney Todd.
Benjamin Barker is living a simple life with his wife
and daughter when the lust of a judge throws their
lives into chaos. The judge has Barker deported to
Australia. Barker returns to England, many years later,
under the name of Sweeney Todd. With revenge in his
heart Sweeney seeks vengeance not just against those
who hurt him and his family, but also against some
who are innocent of any crime. Now a major film by
Tim Burton, Sweeney Todd ran for over 550 performances
on Broadway and won 7 Tony Awards.
Lakeland Theatre’s production is a professional
production of the complete show as Sondheim and Wheeler
originally wrote it.
Sweeney Todd opens on Friday, February 6 at 7:30 PM
and runs three weekends. Tickets are $13 for adults
and $11 for seniors and $5 for students. Call 440.525.7526

Lakeland
Theatre is once again delighted
to present Jane Austen's enduring
romance, "Pride and Prejudice" beginning October
6 through October 22 at
Lakeland Community College's
Performing Arts Center.
Lakeland
is remounting the production,
following a successful run
two years ago. The novel is
a perennial favorite - and
the play is also finding its
way into the hearts of both
Jane Austen fans and everyone
who likes a good story well
told.
Lakeland
artistic director Martin Friedman
is again directing the play,
using an adaptation written
by Gate Theatre artists James
Maxwell and Alan Stanford.
This is a
wonderful adaptation of a beloved
Jane Austen novel that is seldom
seen on stage. Elizabeth duels
with her prejudice and Darcy
with his pride; or is it the
other way around? Love trumps
both pride and prejudice in
one of the truly great literary
romances of all time.
The Maxwell/Stanford
play has been produced at the
Spoleto Festival and The Guthrie
Theater. Lakeland's previous
production was only the third
in the United States.
The production
features: Equity actor Mitchell
Fields; other prominent local
actors including Dan Folino,
Natalie Green,
Douglass
Collier, Sandra Kosevich Peck,
and Rose Leininger; and a terrific
group of up-and-coming actors.
The production staff includes
set and lights by Keith Nagy
and costumes by Craig Tucker
and John Larger.
Pride and
Prejudice opens Friday, October
6 at 8:00 p.m. and runs three
weekends.
Thursday: Special
Student Matinees. Tickets are
$12 for adults and $10 for
students and seniors. Call
440-525-7034 or 440-525-4774
for ticket information, group
rates and reservations.

By the author of Love Letters and
the Dining Room, Gurney examines the relationship
between a man and his dog and, of course, his wife. The
battle of the sexes takes on a new look; and it's distinctly
four-legged. Starred Sarah Jessica Parker on Broadway. |

of the most beautiful, funny touching and profound
