where the idea of reaching a new audience for their work-however large or small is what gets them out of bed in the morning," she said. "Basically, it's the reason I still live here and probably always will."

On Friday, May 8, Rachael Sage will play at Havana, 862 North High Street in Columbus.

The following night, she hits the Nickel in Cleveland, 4365 State Road, for her second in-state stop.

A play within a play within a prison

Zach DeNardi, left, and Corey Mach star in a staged reading of the play Lilies, or the Revival of a Romantic Drama by Michel Marc Bouchard, a benefit for Mercury Summer Stock. The one-night-only event will be the Ohio première of the play, which was adapted into a 1996 film that won Best Picture at the Genie Awards, the Canadian equivalent of the Oscars. The story is a play-within-a-play, as Bishop Jean Bilodeau enters a prison in Québéc in 1912 to hear Simon Doucet's confession.

Doucet, a childhood friend of the bishop, was convicted 40 years before for a murder he says he did not commit.

Instead of simply giving his confession to the cleric, however, he has him watch a play of the events performed by the other prisoners, a tale of emotional bonds and betrayed trusts. The reading will be at 7:30 pm on May 31 at the Cleveland Play House's Brooks Theater, 8500 Euclid Avenue. Tickets are $10 and go towards continuing Mercury Summer Stock's mission to bring rarely-performed works to northeast Ohio. They are, after all, the theater that twice produced Blood Brothers, the only play performed in the Cleveland area with gay brothers playing brothers. For tickets or more information, call 216-771-5862 or e-mail mercuryss@mac.com.
