I believe in getting more out of life.

My time is precious. Every moment counts. That’s why I chose Kaiser Permanente.

My doctor is close to home, so when I go for a checkup, I can visit the lab and pharmacy, too—all in one trip.

Back home, I can go online and e-mail my doctor, check most lab test results, schedule routine appointments,

order most prescription refills, and more.* I can even access these tools on my smartphone.

It’s that easy. This way, I have more time to spend on what matters most—life.

For more information about Kaiser Permanente, visit us online at kp.org.

*These features are available when you receive care at Kaiser Permanente medical centers. Care from practitioners you see outside our medical centers or the results of tests and screenings performed outside our

medical centers may not be available online.

AbouT Great Lakes Theater

The mission of Great Lakes Theater, through its main

stage productions and its edu-cation programs, is to bring the pleasure, power and relevance of classic theater to the widest possible audience.

Since the company’s incep-tion in 1962, programming has been rooted in Shakespeare, but Great Lakes commitment to great plays spans the breadth of all cultures, forms of theater and time periods –– including the 20th century –– and pro-vides for the occasional mount-ing of new works that comple-ment the classical repertoire.

Classic theater holds the capacity to illuminate truth and enduring values, celebrate and challenge human nature and actions, revel in eloquent language, preserve the traditions of diverse cultures and generate communal spirit. On its main stage and through its education pro-grams, GLT seeks to create visceral, immediate experiences for participants, asserting theater’s historic role as a vehicle for advancing the com-mon good and helping people make the joyful and meaningful connections between classic plays and their own lives.

The company’s commitment to classic theater is magnified in the educational programs that surround its productions. Since its inception, GLT has had a strong presence in area schools, bring-ing students to the theater for matinee perfor-mances and sending specially trained actor-teach-ers to the schools for weeklong residencies devel-oped to explore classic drama from a theatrical point of view. GLT is equally dedicated to enhanc-ing the theater experience for adult audiences through Surround, a series of community pro-grams that explore the themes of a main stage production. To this end, Great Lakes Theater regularly serves as the catalyst for community events and programs in the arts and humanities that illuminate the plays on its stage.

Great Lakes Theater is one of only a handful of American theaters that have stayed the course as a

classic theater. As Great Lakes moves into a new era with a permanent home in the Hanna Theatre, the company reaffirms its belief in the power of partnership, its determination to make this com-munity a better place in which to live, and its commitment to ensure the legacy of classic the-ater in Cleveland.

Much AdoAbout Nothing

A Sublime Battle of Wits and Wills

By William Shakespeare / Directed by Sharon Ott

March 29 - April 14

Beatrice and Benedick would rather exchange scorching insults than sweet nothings. However, the pugnacious pair is forced to forge a partnership in order to defend house and honor, and salvage the true love of Hero and Claudio after deceptions destroy the lovers’ wedding day. Will the earnest endeavor to restore a young romance elicit an unexpected change of heart for the effort’s unlikely collaborators as well?

A messAGe Producing Artistic Director

Dear Friends,

on behalf of our artists, staff and Board of Trustees, welcome to Great Lakes Theater’s 51st season! Our mission, “to bring the pleasure, power

and relevance of classic theater to the widest possible audience,” guides our mainstage productions as well as our educational programming, in the belief that theater holds the capacity to illuminate truth and enduring values, celebrate and challenge human nature and actions, and provide our student audiences a glimpse of a broader world and the wellspring of learning made possible through the arts.

We are thrilled to be back in the Hanna Theatre this spring as our season continues in the new year with Nöel Coward’s otherworldly comedy, Blithe Spirit; Shakespeare’s battle of wits and wooing, Much Ado About Nothing; and our season finale (one of the largest productions Great Lakes Theater has undertaken in years), Guys and Dolls, Frank Loesser’s Tony Award winning musical. It is a joy to work, once again, with Art Falco and Gina Vernaci and the great team at PlayhouseSquare to offer Guys and Dolls as part of the Key Bank Broadway Series.

Throughout the spring season, you will see many familiar names and faces from our astonishing core company of artists, educators and technicians joined by artists making their Great Lakes debut. Of particular note are two directors joining us this spring: We are delighted to welcome Sharon Ott (directing Much Ado About Nothing) and Cleveland native Dan Knechtges (director and choreographer of Guys and Dolls) to the Great Lakes family. Sharon is a director of international renown in theater and opera. During her 13 years as Artistic Director of Berkeley Repertory Theater, Sharon built a reputation as one of the leading artists in American theater, and the company won the 1997 Tony Award for best Regional Theatre. Following her tenure at Berkeley Rep, Sharon became the Artistic Director of Seattle Repertory Theater, where she produced and directed both classics and world premieres. Dan is a Tony Award nominated choreographer and director who also happens to be a graduate of Otterbein College. His Broadway credits include The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, Sondheim on Sondheim (also seen on our stage last spring), Lysistrata Jones, and Xanadu. In 2007, Dan enjoyed the extraordinary experience of having three shows running simultaneously on the Great White Way.

But we could not produce our work without the tireless efforts of our talented administrative staff, dedicated board of trustees and the tremendous generosity of this community! As you look around the theater you will see the names of many friends, partners, corporations and foundations whose support makes all of this possible. We extend our deepest gratitude to each and every one of them and look forward to a future filled with ever more collaboration and creativity.

Thank you for your continued support. I hope to see you in our audience again soon.

Along with his wife, Lidia, and 17-year-old daughter, Alexa, Charles resides in Boise, Cleveland and Lake Tahoe –– a feat that is only possible because of the incredible love and support of his family, and the generous communities he serves!
