“One of the things I love about this play is you can be laughing one moment and crying the next,” director Amy Spaulding-Heuring said about Toledo Repertoire Theatre’s March 26 presentation of “Marvin’s
Room.”
The story centers around Bessie, a caregiver who herself becomes ill while tending to her aging father. Family bonds become strained as she turns for help to a long-estranged sister.
The play is such a poignant and relevant dramatization that Mercy of Northwest Ohio is offering three units of continuing education credits for those who attend. It is the second such collaboration
between The Rep and the college, preceded by a 2009 production of “Rabbit Hole.”
“Current licensed healthcare professionals, includingsocial workers and teachers, are eligible for continuing education credit for attending and participating in the event,” said Jen Skeldon, Program Developer of Short Term Education at Mercy College.
The show deals with mature issues, but is suitable for young adults. $10.8 pm. March 26 at the 10th Street stage. A March 24 performance will be staged primarily for the Mercy
College audience, but seats are available for anyone who wants to attend. 419-243-9277. www.toledorep.org.
