Join us for a staged reading of For the Price of a Cow written by playwright Margaret Lynch and directed by Oberlin theater faculty member Caroline Jackson Smith.  In 1912, a young Irish man arrives in Cleveland to find his aunt, who left Ireland abruptly twenty years earlier and has not been heard from since.  He finds her in a mental institution; she refuses to acknowledge him, but her silence may be a hard-won gift.  Should he allow family obligations to entangle him or should he embark on a new life in a new country?  The reading will be accompanied by the exhibit Industrial Cleveland: Photographs by Grace Kenney.

A selection of exceptional paintings and sculptures from the gallery collection, including this mixed media collage by artist Louise Nevelson (1975, signed & dated lower right, 34 x 24 inches).
