THE GUYS 
 “Eloquent play takes subtle approach to tragedy.”
- Dan Kane, The Repository

The Guys was first performed in New York by Sigourney Weaver and Bill Murray just three months following the 9/11 tragedy. It was premiered in Ohio by the Rainbow Repertory Co. with Joe Martuccio (Canton’s Law Director and veteran performer) and Jenni Lou Oakes. The Guys is the story of a writer who helped a fire Captain write eulogies for his fallen men. “You don’t really need photos of planes to tell the story, the words are enough,” states Martuccio, “and it’s much more than just a sad story. There are universal themes here that touch everyone’s lives.”

The Guys is performed countrywide as a fundraiser, particularly for safety forces.
 
 
 AS I WAS SAYING 
 “Charita Goshay (columnist -The Repository Canton, Ohio) takes her columns to stage.” - Dan Kane, The Repository

 Ms. Goshay, one of the most popular Repository writers ever is now a playwright and director. Her play brings her favorite columns to life. They are her takes on current events and life’s joys, frustrations and absurdities touched with wisdom, wit, poignancy and often a well-aimed zinger or two. 
 
 We hope to have a whole new production of As I Was Saying in our 2007-08 season!

 A SWEETER WAY
 “This is a very entertaining play to learn about a very serious subject!’
- audience member

This play was commissioned by the Ohio Commission on Minority Health for the prevention of diabetes.  It tells the story of a three generation family, all with different actions and reactions to the problem of diabetes.  They range from a grandmother who follows no prevention strategies, her daughter who is trying to and grandchildren who are extremely health conscious.

A Sweeter Way is a great outreach program for social service agencies, churches and community organizations. Book this play.
 
 REVEALED SECRETS  
 
 This play was commissioned by the American Cancer Society for awareness and prevention strategies for cancer.  We meet the widow, friends and family of Paul, recently deceased from colorectal cancer.   Paul also appears in the play, adding a retrospective element that is very powerful.
Reveled Secrets is a great outreach program for social service agencies, churches and community organizations.
 
 
  A WORK IN PROGRESS
 “This play about mental illness is born in the actors’ stories.”
- Lisa Reicosky, The Repository

Five women recovering from mental illness make plans to get on the Oprah Winfrey show with their success stories. This play is written from the actual life experiences of these five women, who not only helped to write the play, but also act in it. “It’s absolutely brave, but the end result is worth the risk,” states one of the players. Another adds, “I’m tired of being embarrassed about my mental illness, my mother is not embarrassed by her high blood pressure!”  Both lines were added to the play.

A Work in Progress is a great outreach program for social service agencies, churches and community organizations.
 
 
   WHA T’S THE DIFFERENCE?
 “Rainbow Repertory play deals with the awareness of disabilities.”
- Jan Kennedy, The Repository

This play looks at how society sees and reacts to persons with disabilities. It is written from the actual experiences of those who happen to have disabilities and portrayed by these very same persons.  We see the Is-abilities of cerebral palsy, spina bifida, glaucoma, learning challenges and obesity.

What's the Difference? is a great outreach program for social service agencies, churches and community organizations.  
 
 
 READY OR NOT
  “If I had it to do all over again, I would have been more responsible and not become a teen father. My main thing now is to get my degree from high school” - Denise Sautters, The Repository
 
We meet four young men, all with different views on premarital sex  and how to relate with the young women in their lives.  The characters range from one with absolutely no responsibility for his actions to one who has decided to wait until marriage before making any commitment.  The play also exposes the fact that underage fathers do not have much support and far less rights than the mothers.

Ready or Not is a great outreach program for social service agencies, churches and community organizations.
