at Dobama Theater on Lee Road
HUMBLE BOY IS EXTENDED!!
- additional performances June 2 to June 5
Broken vows, failed hopes, quantum mechanics and the joys of beekeeping are brilliantly interwoven as Felix comes to terms with the sudden death of his father, his overbearing mother and his onetime sweetheart. Winner of the Susan Smith Blackburn Award, The Critics' Circle Best New Play Award and the People's Choice New Play Award, this English import is both touching and hilarious.
"What are the chances that six of the best stage performances of the year could show up in the same production? Almost zero. Still, it's happening right now at Dobama Theatre's Humble Boy..."
-- Christine Howey, Scene Magazine
"Dobama Theatre's 'Humble Boy' a brilliant play, played brilliantly..."
-- Tony Brown, The Plain Dealer
"On stage at the Dobama Theatre in Cleveland Heights, this play...is miraculously transformed into a subtle, enthralling and absolutely brilliant production...."
-- Bob Abelman, The News Herald
