CLEVELAND HEIGHTS, OH — Dobama Theatre's next show will be the Midwest premiere of "Wakey, Wakey." Performances will begin October 18 and continue through November 10.

The play tells the story of a man named Guy. Like all of us, on some level, Guy knows he is going to die. "Guy explores with the audience what in life is worth celebrating, what is worth treasuring, and what is worth letting go in this moving and hilarious play," Dobama said in a statement about the play.

Jason Martin will play Guy and Katrice Headd will play Lisa in the show. "Wakey, Wakey" will be directed by Christopher Mirto.
