Scarlett, the war is over

The Civil War will end Tuesday night at the Lee Road branch of the Cleveland Heights Library just off Cedar Road – at least for this year.

PD and former BJ TV/movie/whatever critic Mark Dawidziak and wife Sara Showman will do their last "Shades of Blue and Gray: Ghost of the Civil War" show of the year at 7 p.m.

The Largely Literary Theater Company production includes poetry by Emily Dickinson and Walt Whitman, literary selections by Ohio native Ambrose Pierce, songs by Sara and ghost stories.

With the Civil War off the table for now, Mark can concentrate on his Mark Twain book coming out next year, and a show built around that book.

Sara is working on a one-woman show about Francis Hodgson Burnett, author of “The Secret Garden” and “A Little Princess.”

And, in a pinch, they can fall back on their productions tied to Edgar Allan Poe and Charles Dickens
