The Professor Street Theater

The Taming of the Shrew
by William Shakespeare

June 11 - July 3, 1993
Professor Street Theater

Gremio and Baptista
Lucentio and Tranio
Petruchio and Katerina

"... Petruchio, who takes on taming Kate to be his wife, does so with mixed feelings. Tall, thin and bookish in steel-rimmed glasses, he remains otherwise cheerful, a man engaged in doing what he intellectually knows to be right. However distasteful, he's mistreating her for her own good."
- The Plain Dealer

"The dominant tone of the production is ... Mickey and Judy 'let's put on a show.'"
- The Plain Dealer


Mind Your Own Business

November 19, 1993 - July 2, 1994
Actors' Gym in Tremont

Shan-Tilly, Gooch and Beemer during "Superheroes" weekend
The Actors' Gym

"The little vignettes are topical, yet a bit crude, and are intended to make you think and maybe laugh a little, which they do ... There's a giant wheel just like on TV which members of the audience are brought up to spin. The prizes amount to very little but the laughs are generous and after one hour of silliness it's all over and everyone walks out feeling good."
- The Chagrin Valley Times

Romeo and Juliet
by William Shakespeare

September 9 - October 1, 1994
Actors' Gym in Tremont

Juliet and the Nurse
Romeo and Mercutio
Benvolio and Tybalt

"This production was a prime example of how less can be more in theater. In a black box theater, with four boxes, a few masks, a lot of T-shirts, a couple of plastic daggers, and a lot of integrity and ingenuity arose a very satisfying Romeo and Juliet ... better ventilation and more toilet facilities would have helped."
- Scene Magazine

" ... very mirthful tragedy ..."
- The Plain Dealer

" ... Mercutio, one of the ballsiest males in Shakespeare,
is played for some elusive purpose by a woman."
- Free Times
