Clague Playhouse presents 'Trying'

Clague Playhouse will present Joanna McClelland Glass's drama "Trying" as the third production of its 87th season. This highly acclaimed play follows the attempts of a young Canadian woman and an aging Philadelphia aristocrat to understand each other in what the old man knows will be the last year of his life. The work is based on its author’s real-life experience working for former U.S. Attorney General and Nuremberg Trials chief judge Francis Biddle in the late 1960s.

"Trying" is directed by Douglas Farren. The cast includes Robert Hawkes and Debbie Jenkins.

The production runs from Jan. 9 through Feb. 1 on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m. Tickets are $16 for adults, $15 for seniors (60+), and $10 for students with valid ID, and may be purchased by calling the box office at 440-331-0403 Wednesday through Saturday from 1–6 p.m. Clague Playhouse is located at 1371 Clague Road, Westlake.
