Places Please, Act One - Selections from Warren Kliewer’s “Poems around and about theatres”; Liturgies, Games, Farewells; Moralities and Miracles; Red Rose and Grey Cowl

Performed by Michèle LaRue
Cliff Goodwin: Production Consultant

Warren Kliewer called his theatre poems “a glimpse into the private lives of a public art form.” This exuberant spoken-word performance also glimpses into the private and public lives of the author, who grew up in rural Minnesota – in a community of German-speaking Mennonites whose values and traditions frowned upon the frivolous.

Kliewer was a much-published poet and essayist before he ran away to join the theatre – as actor, director, playwright, and producer. Those talents and the pull of his heritage inform these offerings. From a nightmare-ridden scenic designer to a day-dreaming gardener, from a bewildered New York playwright to a stubborn Kansas farm wife, from an accident-prone diva to an adventuring eight-year-old: these poems are tiny one-acts of compelling drama and insightful comedy.

 Please note that parking meters are ON effective 4/1.

Michèle LaRue has specialized in performances of literature from America’s Gilded Age for 30 years and tours nationally with a varied repertoire of TALES WELL TOLD. Rave reviews from nearly 500 sponsors include, “What you have to offer is priceless” (Pennsylvania); “You could hear a pin drop!” Kentucky; “Spellbound!” (Seattle); “Perfection” (New York City).

A Chicago native, Michèle has lived in Secaucus, New Jersey, for . . . oh . . . a very long time. She is a member of both actors’ unions—Actors’ Equity Association and SAG-AFTRA; as a writer and editor, she has collaborated on many notable theatre books and periodicals.
