Akron's none too fragile theatre kicks off it's 2020 Off-Broadway Series with On Clover Road by Steven Dietz!
January 31st - February 15th
Thurs. - Saturdays @ 8pm
Sat. 2/1 Special Needs Performance @ 4pm
Sunday 2/9 @ 2pm
Monday 2/10 @ 8pm
Tickets Available NOW @ nonetoofragile.com!
Starring: Rachel Lee Kolis, James Rankin, Sarah Blubaugh, Lauren Kolezsar & *Abraham McNeil Adams
Directed by Sean Derry
THE STORY:
At an abandoned motel on a desolate American road, a mother meets with a cult deprogrammer, believing she will be reunited with her runaway daughter. What happens instead – in this smart, harrowing, edge-of-your-seat thriller – is something that will shock her to her core. What will a mother do to get her daughter back? Whatever it takes.
"...The audience is lulled into thinking we're going to be watching a dramatic exploration of family dysfunction ending in some variation of a mother-and-child reunion. Instead, Dietz sucker punches us, then sucker punches us again and again until by the end of the evening we're positively punch drunk—and utterly thrilled. To be more specific would spoil the ride."

2018 Awards/Recognitions
“Year after year, some of the best theater in Northeast Ohio is happening in a black box behind Pub Bricco in Akron, home to none too fragile. The company continued that tradition with the world premiere of Boogieban…its birth here is something to celebrate…The play’s message about the human cost of war is timely and uncompromising; the lived-in performances of (David) Peacock and (Travis) Teffner are two of the most affecting and memorable of 2018. The climactic scene…ambushes you like sniper fire.”

The bootleg bandit catches 13 seconds of...logic?
Bootleg bandit captures #Nerve's last kiss and fade out... #Akron #Theater #NEO #Cleveland #Canton
Many thanks to everyone who came out to see "On the Line." Your support is appreciated! Here's a clip from the bootleg bandit, showing the guys taking their final bow.
Somebody bootlegged a tiny eight-second piece of the show and sent it to us. We'd complain, but it actually looks pretty cool...

ONE OF MY MOST FAVORITE PLACES, WAITING FOR A RETURN
Great Show as always Sean and Alanna!
On Clover Road is an intense, highly suspenseful and powerful play and NTF’s rendition had me on the edge of my seat the entire time. It kicked my comfortable life in the ass with disturbingly raw, edgy, convincing performances inspiring both spine-tingling dread and a sense of relief. It left me feeling very, very Fragile.
Another wow and bow to this last performance. Witty, unexpectedly delightful dialog, fantastic accents, unique story line, and brilliant staging made this show another outstanding experience. Keeps us coming back again and again...and yet again...
(Loved the reference ‘Devil’s Island’)
You guys rock it every single time.
Look at this Sean Derry and Alanna Romansky in Carlisle Pa this weekend saw this theater’s season.
Will new space be accessible for aug. 23rd show?
Congrats to None Too Fragile on your New Home. Perfect location, great space, good business move. Awesome!!!
Excited for your new location and to see you grow!!! However, we were wondering how to plan our next date night at the theater.... we generally enjoy a bottle of wine with your show?
GREAT SHOWS, GREAT ACTORS.....GREAT PLACE.....IF YOU HAVEN'T BEEN THERE......YOU ARE MISSING A TRULY GREAT NIGHT OUT!!!!!!!
The plays that we have seen here have been awesome. I love the cozy atmosphere and the small venue. The actors are always amazing and the plays thought provoking....love love this place!
We have been to your theater a few times and really enjoy it. Hopefully, we can come again in the near future.
Simply a great show, & fantastic new talent for the lead role, bravo
