Executive Director James Levin and Artistic Director Randy Rollison are proud to announce the World Premiere of Blue Sky Transmission: A Tibetan Book of the Dead will be extended to include a special benefit performance on Sunday, October 6, 2002. Now one of Cleveland Public Theatre? s most successful box office and artistic successes, Blue Sky Transmission: A Tibetan Book of the Dead has played to sold out houses and strong advanced sales throughout its four-week run. The benefit performance tickets cost $30.00 each and will assist in the transportation of the production to New York City?s La MaMa Theatre in December. Tickets are still available for the final weekend run of the production. For more box office information, please call 216.631.2727. The production is a world premiere, inspired and evoked by The Tibetan Book of The Dead, a sacred text of Tibetan Buddhists. The book is traditionally read at the time of one?s death by a spiritual teacher and serves as a guide through the ?in-between-places? or Bardo, connecting death and rebirth. Blue Sky Transmission: A Tibetan Book of the Dead reveals the thematic structure of the book by telling the story of Allison, a lawyer and mother, whose overwhelming ?to do? list will never be completed due to an inconvenient interruption?her own death. After a dramatic transition, Allison finds herself in a psychedelic world of mystical images and haunting songs both familiar and strange. Guided by a mysterious escort who interprets the words of the book along her journey, she is confronted by a stream of choices that brings her face to face with the nature of her life, past and future. Cleveland Public Theatre?s presentation of Blue Sky Transmission will not be a literal adaptation of The Tibetan Book of the Dead; rather, a ?Western? exploration of Eastern concepts of death through the eyes, ears, and mind of this contemporary American woman. ?This is, by far, the most ambitious production undertaken by CPT in its history,? says Executive Director James Levin. The participation of the project?s leading collaborators, director Raymond Bobgan and composer Halim El-Dabh, is funded by the prestigious National Theatre Artist Residency Program grant of $100,000. Developed by Theater Communications Group and the Pew Charitable Trusts and fully funded by the Trusts, this grant is an unprecedented effort to foster artistic partnerships between theatre artists and theatre companies. Cleveland Public Theatre is one of only fifteen leading American theatre companies selected to receive this grant. Resident Director, Raymond Bobgan (Artistic Director of Wishhounds, a Cleveland based experimental theatre ensemble) and international composer Halim El-Dabh have been in residency at Cleveland Public Theatre for the past season researching and preparing for this unique production. El-Dabh will create the intricate original score for the production. El-Dabh has collaborated closely with Martha Graham, John Cage and Leonard Bernstein and composed the score ?Sound and Lights of the Pyramids of Giza? which has played daily at the site of the Great Pyramid in Egypt since 1961. Rehearsals for Blue Sky Transmission: A Tibetan Book of the Dead began on June 4, 2002 with an international ensemble of sixteen artists (see biographies). The cast includes Cleveland based actors as well as performers from New York City, Los Angeles and Toronto. The production team consists of New York Costume Designer Karen Young, CPT Resident Lighting Designer Trad A Burns, and from Trinidad, Set Designer Michael Guy James whose work has been featured in the Cleveland Museum of Art?s Parade The Circle. Contributing to the original script are three local writers: playwright Mike Geither, and poet Patricia Harusame Leebove and National Poetry Slam Champion, Ray McNiece. The design and artistic team will collaborate over a four-month development and rehearsal period. After receiving its world premiere in Cleveland, Blue Sky Transmission: A Tibetan Book of the Dead is scheduled to run for four weeks at New York City ?s experimental theatre, La Mama Theatre, ETC. This partnership is an especially poignant homecoming for Executive Director James Levin who began his theatrical career as a company member and prot?g? of Ellen Stewart at La Mama in 1979. Since its founding, Cleveland Public Theatre has modeled itself after La Mama?s dedication to social justice issues and innovative, cutting edge live performance. As a companion to this production, Cleveland Public Theatre will offer a series of lectures, forums and discussions centered around the concepts of dying, death and the afterlife. These events will examine death from many different perspectives: spiritual, emotional, literary and artistic. These discussions will include a Comparative Religion panel with representatives from several major religions in the Cleveland area discussing individual religious beliefs on death and the afterlife, and how those beliefs help inform each religion?s tenets for living a good life; A forum featuring several hospice care workers will examine preparation of the terminally ill for death, and what lessons are to be learned from the dying; An open book discussion of the Bardo Thodol, more commonly known as The Tibetan Book of the Dead will be held at a local independently owned bookstore; Finally, a Japanese film that imagines an alternate view of the afterlife will be presented by Cleveland Film Works at Cleveland Public Theatre sometime in August. All forums, panels and discussions are free and open to the general public. Times and dates for these events are to be announced in August. For more information, please call 216.631.2727. The mission of Cleveland Public Theatre is to inspire, nurture, challenge, amaze, educate and empower artists and audiences, in order to make the Cleveland Public a more conscious and compassionate community. ------=_NextPart_000_01DE_01C264A7.0C8EDB00 Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

We're going to be doing it in two parts - First, we're going to have a segment on the show where we'll be doing the auditions for the announcer position "live" on the show. This is meant to be humorous and we'll probably instruct the actors to read the announcer script in a funny way. Some people we'll have audition "live" on the show. The idea for the segment is, basically, that all the people auditioning suck. Now, in reality, we ARE auditioning for a new announcer to read the opening credits for our show, banter with the host and co-host in the first segment of each show, and sometimes participate in skits. So, any actors who want to just be in the skit, please contact our associate producer Mikki at mouse595 at aol.com. We'll be taping the skit at Adelphia's studios in Brook Park on Thursday, October 3 from about 8 p.m. till 10 p.m. If you also are interested in being our permanent announcer, also e-mail Mikki for that same time and date. Just let her know you're interested in auditioning for real, not just being a part of the skit. The Jeremy Borger Show tapes every other Thursday night, from 7 p.m. till 10 p.m. This is a NON UNION and UNPAID position. Visit www.jeremyborger.com for more information on the show.

$10-$19 = =95 216-521-2540

With its splendid production of the = demanding musical Parade, the once stodgy and dismissible Beck Center = has scaled yet another level in its continuing rise as the area's = nerviest, most exciting and vital theater. While it's one thing to = bravely program such a daunting and complex piece, it's another, = worlds-apart matter to actually bring it off. Led by director Scott = Spence, however, Beck manages the feat with plenty of artistic merit to = spare.

Perhaps the finest serious musical of = the decade, Jason Robert Brown and Alfred Uhry's Parade has had a = troubled and tortured history. Its New York run was undeservedly cut = short by a negative New York Times review and the producer's bankruptcy. = An estimable touring edition, which played the Palace in the fall of = 2000, was abruptly terminated after a couple of canceled bookings for = lack of advance ticket sales. It may be that the light-hearted shy away = from the show's sober subject, but the piece is anything but dour and = gloomy. Stirring and ultimately uplifting in its compassionate humanity, = the work's skilled melding of words and music radiantly reaffirms that = the American musical form is capable of housing the most searching and = profound artistic expression.

Parade deals with the railroading and = eventual mob-lynching of Leo Frank for the 1913 Atlanta murder of = 13-year-old Mary Phagan. The girl's boss, Frank was the last person who = admitted seeing her alive. His only crime, however, was being a Yankee = Jew in a racially prejudiced South still seething with Civil War = humiliation.

We get flashes of the Franks' sterile marriage; = the discovery of Phagan's murder on the day of the jingoistic = Confederate Veterans' annual parade; the buildup of the case against = Frank by the prejudicial press, public and corrupt officials; the = railroading trial; the lengthy legal battle by the couple to overturn = the guilty verdict, during which they fall genuinely in love; and, = finally, Frank's murder. Occasionally given to stereotyping, Uhry more = often displays a penetrating ability to evoke the emotional truths of = these characters and situations, and to accumulate them to trenchant = effect.

It's Brown's resplendently expressive = score, though, that anchors the evening.

Physically unprepossessing, the actor is simply a = powerhouse when it comes to conveying both musical and character = conviction.

As Lucille, Sandra = Emrick is, once again, a vibrant presence. Though she has a tendency to = blast through every song, the voice is always firm, melodious and = appealing. Kyle Primous is simultaneously silky and slimy in two = show-stopping numbers as Phagan's most likely real killer; Robert Gibb = generates much empathy as the brave Georgia governor who finally does = the right thing; Brian Etchell makes a believably devious D.A.; G.A. = Taggett is a despicable racist newspaper editor; Hannah DelMonte = a saucy Mary Phagan; Patrick Carroll a = kindly prison guard; and Ryan Bergeron ringingly delivers the perversely = beautiful Confederate hymn, "The Old Red Hills of = Home."

For that matter, the whole of the = sundry cast is commendable, Don McBride's settings spare but = appropriate, Aly Hernan's myriad costumes spot-on, Larry Goodpaster's = musical direction of an enlarged, 18-piece orchestra invigorating, and = the entire occasion a cause for celebration, if not a parade all its = own.

Founded more than twenty years ago by artistic visionary Marie Hale, Ballet Florida consistently earns national recognition for its work in dance and education. Ballet Florida will perform Monday, November 25 at 8:00 PM in the E. Turner Stump Theatre of the Music & Speech Center at Kent State University=92s Main Campus. =93From pointe shoes to Reeboks, Ballet Florida has something for everyone.=94 - The Times Picayune New Orleans Ballet Florida will be performing four selections from their extensive repertory on November 25th. LENTO A TEMPO E APPASSIONATO=09 is choreographed by Vicente Nebrada and performed to music by Scriabin. Following the development of a relationship between two lovers, this elegant pas de deux begins slowly and then explodes with passion in its dynamic conclusion. Performed with a live piano accompanist on stage, it is a work that is sure to please any audience. READ MY HIPS, choreographed by Daniel Ezralow with music by Michel Colombier is a fast paced full company work that explodes off the stage and confronts the audience in their seats. Packed with pounding rhythms and thrilling visual dynamics, this bravura work does for dance what MTV does for music. Choreographed by William Forsythe, STEPTEXT, is performed to the music of J. S. Bach. Few choreographers can claim to have captured the spirit of 20th century ballet as much as William Forsythe. Disjointed, challenging movement motifs are accented by an abridged treatment of the Bach score. This work is a technical masterpiece, demanding full quality pointe work and strength. Intimate and involving, this fascinating ballet is a sure indication of the future of Ballet. THE ENVELOPE, the signature work from the exciting choreographer David Parsons, performed to music by Rossini, is witty and sophisticated. A group of dancers attempt first to find out the contents of a mysterious envelope, then with equal manic vigor, attempt to discard it. Entertaining and yet still formal in its construction, this is a popular dance work all over the world. Founded more than twenty years ago by artistic visionary Marie Hale, Ballet Florida consistently earns national recognition for its work in dance and education. Incorporated as Ballet Arts Foundation in 1973, the company began as a dance school and formed its professional company in 1986. Over the past 11 years, Ballet Florida has earned the distinction of being one of the fastest growing dance companies in America, one of the top 20 dance companies in the nation. Ballet Florida is one of the few dance companies in the country that performs such a diverse and eclectic repertory. The exceptional talent of its 21 professional dancers and the artistic integrity of Marie Hale continually attract renowned choreographers to Palm Beach County to work with the company. New works by great artists such as George Balanchine, Peter Martins, Alvin Ailey, Vicente Nebrada, Val Caniparoli, and Mauricio Wainrot are regularly and frequently added to the repertory. Thomas Schroth (1922-1997) was born in Niles, Ohio and spent his life in that community as a professional architect. A world cultural traveler, he personified the interrelatedness of human expression and human progress. The Thomas Schroth Visiting Artist Series is devoted to exploring that relationship. The Thomas Schroth Visiting Artist Series has been made possible by a generous gift from David "Max" and Cecile "Cil" Draime in memory of their dear friend, Tom Schroth. This performance is free and open to the public as a part of the Thomas Schroth Visiting Artist Series. Ballet Florida will perform at 8:00 PM in the E. Turner Stump Theatre of the Music & Speech Building on the Main Kent State University Campus. For pictures of Ballet Florida please email bhilger at kent.edu.

Yes, there are some difficulties understanding all of the words at times due to microphone errors, but those soon become unnoticeable as the story takes hold of you. The performances in this production are so focused that you don't have to hear the words come of the actor's mouth's, you can understand them by their expression and demeanor. Keith Gerchak portrays the role of Leo Frank, the Jewish man accused by his "peers" (please note the parentheses) of murdering a young child. He plays the role with ease, and watching the transformation he goes through is something you only hope to see in theatre. He also has a wonderful singing voice, and he gives the role the respect that it deserves. More singing praises go to Sandra Emerick, who plays the role of Lucille, Leo's wife. She plays opposite against Gerchak's icy-to-begin with Leo. She is the woman who wants to help her husband but is told to stay in the kitchen. She finally convinces Leo that he has to listen to her and allow her to help if he wants to be freed. Gerchak and Emerick balance each other out nicely, at the beginning he is cold and aloof, but she is warm and inviting. As he begins to allow her into his inner world even more, they begin to even out and understand each other better. The ensemble is........wow. Let's just say that they all complement each other well, and can strongly sing Jason Robert Brown's emotional score. Everyone does something in this ensemble, and it sends shivers up my spine now as I think of them in the court room, and the ending sequence. A group of good singers and actors. The end of the first act is wrenching as you see the trial of Leo Frank, and the audacity of his lawyer (aptly played by Jim McCormack) to sit and watch the sham of a trial. If AND WHEN you see this production, the second act, and especially the end of the act WILL haunt you. Numbers like Where Will You Stand When the Flood Comes? puts the question directly in your face. What would you do? Would you willingly sentence a man to death for the murder of a girl based on purely on speculation and not fact? Well, you may say "No I would not stand for or tolerate that.", but unfortunately this IS a true story, and I'm positive that the people involved with it would have said the same thing as you prior to the incident. "I will not tolerate for injustice, I will seek the truth." Except what we mean is that we want the truth, but sugar coated, and laced with happy endings, and if we can't have that, we change it to meet our needs. Sorry, life doesn't work that way. Despite minor amplification problems, Parade turns out to be a stunning and chilling piece of theatre. The slow building of a hangman's platform onstage during bright and painfully happy musical scenes sets the true undertone for the second act. The set is multifunctional and serves its purpose well, and the costumes are gorgeous. The orchestra sounds great too, although a little loud at times. The bass player helped the conductor keep the cast with the orchestra when at times the cast can't see the conductor by keeping a steady and well defined beat. The lighting is very well done and sets the mood for every scene. I really enjoyed Parade, and I will probably go see it again, as I have a tendency to go see good productions at least twice. The final minutes of the show are too emotionally ripping to explain, but it includes a lonely parade of one at the end. A grieving and lonely woman who must live while under the constant watch of her peers, acting as spectators at a parade, wondering what they will see next. Leaving Lucille always wondering what life would have been like if justice had truly been served.

       Gerchak and Emerick balance each other out nicely, at the beginning he is cold and aloof, but she is warm and inviting. As he begins to allow her into his inner world even more, they begin to even out and understand each other better.
       The ensemble is........wow. Let's just say that they all complement each other well, and can strongly sing Jason Robert Brown's emotional score. Everyone does something in this ensemble, and it sends shivers up my spine now as I think of them in the court room, and the ending sequence. A group of good singers and actors.
       The end of the first act is wrenching as you see the trial of Leo Frank, and the audacity of his lawyer (aptly played by Jim McCormack) to sit and watch the sham of a trial.
       If AND WHEN you see this production, the second act, and especially the end of the act WILL haunt you. Numbers like Where Will You Stand When the Flood Comes? puts the question directly in your face. What would you do? Would you willingly sentence a man to death for the murder of a girl based on purely on speculation and not fact?
       Well, you may say "No I would not stand for or tolerate that.", but unfortunately this IS a true story, and I'm positive that the people involved with it would have said the same thing as you prior to the incident. "I will not tolerate for injustice, I will seek the truth." Except what we mean is that we  want the truth, but sugar coated, and laced with happy endings, and if we can't have that, we change it to meet our needs. Sorry, life doesn't work that way.
       Despite minor amplification problems, Parade turns out to be a stunning and chilling piece of theatre. The slow building of a hangman's platform onstage during bright and painfully happy musical scenes sets the true undertone for the second act. The set is multifunctional and serves its purpose well, and the costumes are gorgeous. The orchestra sounds great too, although a little loud at times. The bass player helped the conductor keep the cast with the orchestra when at times the cast can't see the conductor by keeping a steady and well defined beat.
       The lighting is very well done and sets the mood for every scene. I really enjoyed Parade, and I will probably go see it again, as I have a tendency to go see good productions at least twice. The final minutes of the show are too emotionally ripping to explain, but it includes a lonely parade of one at the end. A grieving and lonely woman who must live while under the constant watch of her peers, acting as spectators at a parade, wondering what they will see next. Leaving Lucille always wondering what life would have been like if justice had truly been served.

SUMMIT, BECK?S PARADE, RADIO SHOW Roy Berko --The Times Newspapers-- A MESSAGE FOR CPH AND GLFT: IF YOU WANT TO SURVIVE TRY THIS! In the September 27 edition of the Cleveland Plain Dealer Tony Brown, the paper?s Theatre Reviewer, wrote a commentary entitled, ?To Survive Local Theater Must Touch Clevelanders.? It is a well-reasoned piece. He discusses the rumored merger of The Cleveland Play House and the Great Lakes Theater Festival. He indicates that for practical purposes the two theatres have ?ceased to be relevant?in the plays they produce, in the way they are produced and in the way they are sold to the public?to the lives of Clevelanders.? I?d like to wade in on one of these issues?the way the plays are produced. How can people in Cleveland feel any loyalty to a theatre when few locals are included in the staging of shows? Locals who actually call Cleveland home, whom we?ve seen on our stages, or who have directed local shows. People we ?know.? For many years CPH was noted for its resident company. Okay, it did become insular, but that is a situation that is easily altered?change some people each year when necessary. Instead, the baby was tossed out with the bathwater. ?Bring in new people for each production? was the new policy. You don?t see that happening with the Cleveland Orchestra. When you go to Dobama, Beck Center, or Ensemble Theatre you see people on stage who you can associate with, who appear regularly in those venues. Former Cleveland San Jose Ballet company members Karen Gabay and Raymond Rodriguez came ?home? this summer to stage several ballets. They have a loyal following from being our prince and princess of local dance. That following showed up in mass numbers because ?our? Karen and Raymond were performing. These weren?t dancers who were shipped in from whereever for a show. They were ?ours.? When someone goes to a CPH or GLTF show they generally have no idea of who will appear. More often than not, these performers have been chosen by a casting company from far away places. The audience doesn?t know these people. But, we do know that they will be gone as soon as the run is over. They have no loyalty to Cleveland, we have no loyalty to them. It?s one of the problems being faced this year by the Cleveland Indians. Who are those guys who are playing with Chief Wahoo on their hats? Fans stopped coming because ?their? players were traded away, gone. Who were those guys pretending to be locals? Why should I go see them? If fan favorite Jim Thome isn?t signed for next year, watch the loyal fans desert even more. You can?t build loyalty with gypsies. They come and are soon gone. I do get excited when Andrew May is going to appear at CPH. Andrew we?ve seen often and know he?s going to give us a great performance. He has ties to Cleveland. He went away, but soon realized that he belonged here and came back. We appreciate that. We feel close to Andrew. CPH needs more Andrew Mays. GLTF needs some Andrew Mays. Am I proposing CPH and/or GLTF develop resident companies? Maybe not, but, at least consider employing local artists and directors on a regular enough basis so that we can go to the theatre to see ?our? people. It will build fan loyalty. We care about these people because we know them, we have empathy with them. Research in organizational psychology reveals that people care about organizations because they feel part of them, because they can intimately identify with them. If we don?t have loyalty we abandon the group. We?ve already had enough organizations flee Cleveland, both businesses and artistic associations. We are capable of supporting two professional theatre companies. We?ve done it in the past, we can do it in the future. But we need to have a reason. Please, Cleveland Play House and Great Lakes Theatre Festival, give us reasons! A GRAND NIGHT FOR SINGING A PLEASANT EXPERIENCE AT ACTORS? SUMMIT Hudson?s Actors? Summit has announced that it is extending its run of A GRAND NIGHT FOR SINGING through October 6. And, why not? What can make for a more pleasant evening of theatre than sitting in a comfortable, well-designed theatre and listening to Rogers and Hammerstein songs? Musical director Marc Baker and director Neil Thackaberry have assembled a competent group to perform songs the likes of ?The Surrey With the Fringe on Top,? ?We Kiss in a Shadow,? ?A Wonderful Guy,? ?Maria,? ?and ?Don?t Marry Me.? These are winners from OKLAHOMA, THE KING AND I, SOUTH PACIFIC, SOUND OF MUSIC and FLOWER DRUM SONG. The cast is quite competent. They each have at least one song that commands the spotlight. Mary Jo Alexander is delightful in ?Stepsisters? Lament? from CINDERELLA. Wayne Turney does a wonderful rendition of ?Love, Look Away.? And, it?s worth going to the show just to see Turney in drag during ?Honey Bun.? It?s impossible not to smile all the way through Maryann Nagel?s ?I?m Just a Girl Who Can?t Say No.? Greg Violand, who has the most professional voice of the ensemble, uses it well in ?We Kiss In a Shadow? and ?This Nearly Was Mine.? The audience went out humming STATE FAIR?S ?It?s a Grand Night For Singing,? the musical curtain call. What a nice way to start a season. PARADE OUTSTANDING AND ASTOUNDING AT BECK CENTER Beck Center has come of age! This summer they staged a near-perfect SMOKEY JOE?S CAF?. At the time I said that it was the best thing I?ve ever seen on their stage. Then, they turn around and make me into a liar. Their staging of PARADE surpassed even SMOKEY JOE. To use words like outstanding and astounding are understatements. Beck?s PARADE is everything that local theatre should be. It is a well conceived, well acted, well directed, dramatically and musically polished performance. WOW! HEAR A DISCUSSION ABOUT ENTERTAINMENT ON WERE Interested in entertainment? Before she retired from the Cleveland Plain Dealer Maryann Evert said that what the area needed was a media outlet for discussions of the arts. That outlet is available. Listen to WERE-AM (1300) on Fridays from 1 to 2 and experience CLEVELAND ACTION LIVE. It?s an interesting blend of is information and discussions about local entertainment ranging from theatre to dance to music to film. Incidentally, I?m the show?s drama critic. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

Executive Director James Levin and Artistic Director Randy Rollison are proud to announce the World Premiere of Blue Sky Transmission: A Tibetan Book of the Dead will be extended to include a special benefit performance on Sunday, October 6, 2002. Now one of Cleveland Public Theatre? s most successful box office and artistic successes, Blue Sky Transmission: A Tibetan Book of the Dead has played to sold out houses and strong advanced sales throughout its four-week run. The benefit performance tickets cost $30.00 each and will assist in the transportation of the production to New York City?s La MaMa Theatre in December. Tickets are still available for the final weekend run of the production. For more box office information, please call 216.631.2727. The production is a world premiere, inspired and evoked by The Tibetan Book of The Dead, a sacred text of Tibetan Buddhists. The book is traditionally read at the time of one?s death by a spiritual teacher and serves as a guide through the ?in-between-places? or Bardo, connecting death and rebirth. Blue Sky Transmission: A Tibetan Book of the Dead reveals the thematic structure of the book by telling the story of Allison, a lawyer and mother, whose overwhelming ?to do? list will never be completed due to an inconvenient interruption?her own death. After a dramatic transition, Allison finds herself in a psychedelic world of mystical images and haunting songs both familiar and strange. Guided by a mysterious escort who interprets the words of the book along her journey, she is confronted by a stream of choices that brings her face to face with the nature of her life, past and future. Cleveland Public Theatre?s presentation of Blue Sky Transmission will not be a literal adaptation of The Tibetan Book of the Dead; rather, a ?Western? exploration of Eastern concepts of death through the eyes, ears, and mind of this contemporary American woman. ?This is, by far, the most ambitious production undertaken by CPT in its history,? says Executive Director James Levin. The participation of the project?s leading collaborators, director Raymond Bobgan and composer Halim El-Dabh, is funded by the prestigious National Theatre Artist Residency Program grant of $100,000. Developed by Theater Communications Group and the Pew Charitable Trusts and fully funded by the Trusts, this grant is an unprecedented effort to foster artistic partnerships between theatre artists and theatre companies. Cleveland Public Theatre is one of only fifteen leading American theatre companies selected to receive this grant. Resident Director, Raymond Bobgan (Artistic Director of Wishhounds, a Cleveland based experimental theatre ensemble) and international composer Halim El-Dabh have been in residency at Cleveland Public Theatre for the past season researching and preparing for this unique production. El-Dabh will create the intricate original score for the production. El-Dabh has collaborated closely with Martha Graham, John Cage and Leonard Bernstein and composed the score ?Sound and Lights of the Pyramids of Giza? which has played daily at the site of the Great Pyramid in Egypt since 1961. Rehearsals for Blue Sky Transmission: A Tibetan Book of the Dead began on June 4, 2002 with an international ensemble of sixteen artists (see biographies). The cast includes Cleveland based actors as well as performers from New York City, Los Angeles and Toronto. The production team consists of New York Costume Designer Karen Young, CPT Resident Lighting Designer Trad A Burns, and from Trinidad, Set Designer Michael Guy James whose work has been featured in the Cleveland Museum of Art?s Parade The Circle. Contributing to the original script are three local writers: playwright Mike Geither, and poet Patricia Harusame Leebove and National Poetry Slam Champion, Ray McNiece. The design and artistic team will collaborate over a four-month development and rehearsal period. After receiving its world premiere in Cleveland, Blue Sky Transmission: A Tibetan Book of the Dead is scheduled to run for four weeks at New York City ?s experimental theatre, La Mama Theatre, ETC. This partnership is an especially poignant homecoming for Executive Director James Levin who began his theatrical career as a company member and prot?g? of Ellen Stewart at La Mama in 1979. Since its founding, Cleveland Public Theatre has modeled itself after La Mama?s dedication to social justice issues and innovative, cutting edge live performance. As a companion to this production, Cleveland Public Theatre will offer a series of lectures, forums and discussions centered around the concepts of dying, death and the afterlife. These events will examine death from many different perspectives: spiritual, emotional, literary and artistic. These discussions will include a Comparative Religion panel with representatives from several major religions in the Cleveland area discussing individual religious beliefs on death and the afterlife, and how those beliefs help inform each religion?s tenets for living a good life; A forum featuring several hospice care workers will examine preparation of the terminally ill for death, and what lessons are to be learned from the dying; An open book discussion of the Bardo Thodol, more commonly known as The Tibetan Book of the Dead will be held at a local independently owned bookstore; Finally, a Japanese film that imagines an alternate view of the afterlife will be presented by Cleveland Film Works at Cleveland Public Theatre sometime in August. All forums, panels and discussions are free and open to the general public. Times and dates for these events are to be announced in August. For more information, please call 216.631.2727. The mission of Cleveland Public Theatre is to inspire, nurture, challenge, amaze, educate and empower artists and audiences, in order to make the Cleveland Public a more conscious and compassionate community. ------=_NextPart_000_01DE_01C264A7.0C8EDB00 Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

We're going to be doing it in two parts - First, we're going to have a segment on the show where we'll be doing the auditions for the announcer position "live" on the show. This is meant to be humorous and we'll probably instruct the actors to read the announcer script in a funny way. Some people we'll have audition "live" on the show. The idea for the segment is, basically, that all the people auditioning suck. Now, in reality, we ARE auditioning for a new announcer to read the opening credits for our show, banter with the host and co-host in the first segment of each show, and sometimes participate in skits. So, any actors who want to just be in the skit, please contact our associate producer Mikki at mouse595 at aol.com. We'll be taping the skit at Adelphia's studios in Brook Park on Thursday, October 3 from about 8 p.m. till 10 p.m. If you also are interested in being our permanent announcer, also e-mail Mikki for that same time and date. Just let her know you're interested in auditioning for real, not just being a part of the skit. The Jeremy Borger Show tapes every other Thursday night, from 7 p.m. till 10 p.m. This is a NON UNION and UNPAID position. Visit www.jeremyborger.com for more information on the show.

BECK CENTER TAKES ON ALFRED UHRY'S = CHALLENGING PARADE

Through Oct. = 6
Beck Center
17801 Detroit Ave., = Lakewood
Thur-Sat 8 pm, Sun 3 = pm
$10-$19 = =95 216-521-2540

With its splendid production of the = demanding musical Parade, the once stodgy and dismissible Beck Center = has scaled yet another level in its continuing rise as the area's = nerviest, most exciting and vital theater. While it's one thing to = bravely program such a daunting and complex piece, it's another, = worlds-apart matter to actually bring it off. Led by director Scott = Spence, however, Beck manages the feat with plenty of artistic merit to = spare.

Perhaps the finest serious musical of = the decade, Jason Robert Brown and Alfred Uhry's Parade has had a = troubled and tortured history. Its New York run was undeservedly cut = short by a negative New York Times review and the producer's bankruptcy. = An estimable touring edition, which played the Palace in the fall of = 2000, was abruptly terminated after a couple of canceled bookings for = lack of advance ticket sales. It may be that the light-hearted shy away = from the show's sober subject, but the piece is anything but dour and = gloomy. Stirring and ultimately uplifting in its compassionate humanity, = the work's skilled melding of words and music radiantly reaffirms that = the American musical form is capable of housing the most searching and = profound artistic expression.

Parade deals with the railroading and = eventual mob-lynching of Leo Frank for the 1913 Atlanta murder of = 13-year-old Mary Phagan. The girl's boss, Frank was the last person who = admitted seeing her alive. His only crime, however, was being a Yankee = Jew in a racially prejudiced South still seething with Civil War = humiliation.

The show's multi-scened book, by noted = playwright Uhry (Driving Miss Daisy), telescopes the two-year struggle = for justice by Frank and his wife, Lucille, in a smoothly = impressionistic style. We get flashes of the Franks' sterile marriage; = the discovery of Phagan's murder on the day of the jingoistic = Confederate Veterans' annual parade; the buildup of the case against = Frank by the prejudicial press, public and corrupt officials; the = railroading trial; the lengthy legal battle by the couple to overturn = the guilty verdict, during which they fall genuinely in love; and, = finally, Frank's murder. Occasionally given to stereotyping, Uhry more = often displays a penetrating ability to evoke the emotional truths of = these characters and situations, and to accumulate them to trenchant = effect.

It's Brown's resplendently expressive = score, though, that anchors the evening. Employing a collage of musical = forms -- ragtime, jazz, hymns, sentimental ballads -- the composer = imbues them with a modern sensibility, fertile inventiveness and a = contagious gift for melody, all of which fuse seamlessly with and exalt = the tragic narrative.

In perhaps his best effort to date, = director Spence exerts an impressive control over the piece's many = complexities and a large cast of 32. While never pushing, he keeps the = evening consistently animated and the focus squarely on the story and = its human quotient. Spence is greatly aided in the endeavor by an = outstanding performance from Keith Gerchak as Frank. Beginning unsympathetically as a cold, caustic nerd, = the actor slowly blossoms -- especially through some forcefully sung = numbers -- into something like a mensch as both his love for his wife and = his calamity deepen. Physically unprepossessing, the actor is simply a = powerhouse when it comes to conveying both musical and character = conviction.

As Lucille, Sandra = Emrick is, once again, a vibrant presence. Though she has a tendency to = blast through every song, the voice is always firm, melodious and = appealing. Kyle Primous is simultaneously silky and slimy in two = show-stopping numbers as Phagan's most likely real killer; Robert Gibb = generates much empathy as the brave Georgia governor who finally does = the right thing; Brian Etchell makes a believably devious D.A.; G.A. = Taggett is a despicable racist newspaper editor; Hannah DelMonte = a saucy Mary Phagan; Patrick Carroll a = kindly prison guard; and Ryan Bergeron ringingly delivers the perversely = beautiful Confederate hymn, "The Old Red Hills of = Home."

For that matter, the whole of the = sundry cast is commendable, Don McBride's settings spare but = appropriate, Aly Hernan's myriad costumes spot-on, Larry Goodpaster's = musical direction of an enlarged, 18-piece orchestra invigorating, and = the entire occasion a cause for celebration, if not a parade all its = own.

Founded more than twenty years ago by artistic visionary Marie Hale, Ballet Florida consistently earns national recognition for its work in dance and education. Ballet Florida will perform Monday, November 25 at 8:00 PM in the E. Turner Stump Theatre of the Music & Speech Center at Kent State University=92s Main Campus. =93From pointe shoes to Reeboks, Ballet Florida has something for everyone.=94 - The Times Picayune New Orleans Ballet Florida will be performing four selections from their extensive repertory on November 25th. LENTO A TEMPO E APPASSIONATO=09 is choreographed by Vicente Nebrada and performed to music by Scriabin. Following the development of a relationship between two lovers, this elegant pas de deux begins slowly and then explodes with passion in its dynamic conclusion. Performed with a live piano accompanist on stage, it is a work that is sure to please any audience. READ MY HIPS, choreographed by Daniel Ezralow with music by Michel Colombier is a fast paced full company work that explodes off the stage and confronts the audience in their seats. Packed with pounding rhythms and thrilling visual dynamics, this bravura work does for dance what MTV does for music. Choreographed by William Forsythe, STEPTEXT, is performed to the music of J. S. Bach. Few choreographers can claim to have captured the spirit of 20th century ballet as much as William Forsythe. Disjointed, challenging movement motifs are accented by an abridged treatment of the Bach score. This work is a technical masterpiece, demanding full quality pointe work and strength. Intimate and involving, this fascinating ballet is a sure indication of the future of Ballet. THE ENVELOPE, the signature work from the exciting choreographer David Parsons, performed to music by Rossini, is witty and sophisticated. A group of dancers attempt first to find out the contents of a mysterious envelope, then with equal manic vigor, attempt to discard it. Entertaining and yet still formal in its construction, this is a popular dance work all over the world. Founded more than twenty years ago by artistic visionary Marie Hale, Ballet Florida consistently earns national recognition for its work in dance and education. Incorporated as Ballet Arts Foundation in 1973, the company began as a dance school and formed its professional company in 1986. Over the past 11 years, Ballet Florida has earned the distinction of being one of the fastest growing dance companies in America, one of the top 20 dance companies in the nation. Ballet Florida is one of the few dance companies in the country that performs such a diverse and eclectic repertory. The exceptional talent of its 21 professional dancers and the artistic integrity of Marie Hale continually attract renowned choreographers to Palm Beach County to work with the company. New works by great artists such as George Balanchine, Peter Martins, Alvin Ailey, Vicente Nebrada, Val Caniparoli, and Mauricio Wainrot are regularly and frequently added to the repertory. Thomas Schroth (1922-1997) was born in Niles, Ohio and spent his life in that community as a professional architect. A world cultural traveler, he personified the interrelatedness of human expression and human progress. The Thomas Schroth Visiting Artist Series is devoted to exploring that relationship. The Thomas Schroth Visiting Artist Series has been made possible by a generous gift from David "Max" and Cecile "Cil" Draime in memory of their dear friend, Tom Schroth. This performance is free and open to the public as a part of the Thomas Schroth Visiting Artist Series. Ballet Florida will perform at 8:00 PM in the E. Turner Stump Theatre of the Music & Speech Building on the Main Kent State University Campus. For pictures of Ballet Florida please email bhilger at kent.edu.

Thursday, Friday, & Saturday performances begin at 8:00 PM, with Sunday matinees at 3:30 PM.  The current run continues through Sunday, September 29, 2002.

"The great reviews in the Plain Dealer and the Beacon Journal have really increased interest in the show," said artistic director, Neil Thackaberry. "In fact, we played to as many people in our first eight performances this year as we played to in our first sixteen performances last year."

The Critics
Kerry Clawson in the Beacon Journal said: "Actors' Summit's Rodgers and Hammerstein revue, A Grand Night for Singing, ... is full of romantic, nostalgic classics that make for a pleasant evening. . . . The Actors' Summit production is a fast-paced performance with seamless transitions. Four actors/singers are backed by an excellent four-member band, led by music director/pianist Marc Baker, obviously a consummate musician."

Linda Eisenstein in the Plain Dealer said: "A Grand Night for Singing features more than two dozen of the musical team's greatest hits, performed by an elegant quartet of audience favorites: actors MaryJo Alexander, Maryann Nagel, Wayne Turney and Greg Violand. Artistic director Neil Thackaberry has a sure, light touch with the material. It's like an evening of comfort food. It might not always inspire, but it never fails to ingratiate and warm."


The Cast
The all Equity cast includes, MaryJo Alexander, Maryann Nagel, Wayne S. Turney, and Greg Violand. Musical direction is by Marc Baker. The musicians, in addition to Marc include Tim Keo on bass, W. Scot Sexton and Scot M. Sexton on percussion.

Yes, there are some difficulties understanding all of the words at times due to microphone errors, but those soon become unnoticeable as the story takes hold of you. The performances in this production are so focused that you don't have to hear the words come of the actor's mouth's, you can understand them by their expression and demeanor. Keith Gerchak portrays the role of Leo Frank, the Jewish man accused by his "peers" (please note the parentheses) of murdering a young child. He plays the role with ease, and watching the transformation he goes through is something you only hope to see in theatre. He also has a wonderful singing voice, and he gives the role the respect that it deserves. More singing praises go to Sandra Emerick, who plays the role of Lucille, Leo's wife. She plays opposite against Gerchak's icy-to-begin with Leo. She is the woman who wants to help her husband but is told to stay in the kitchen. She finally convinces Leo that he has to listen to her and allow her to help if he wants to be freed. Gerchak and Emerick balance each other out nicely, at the beginning he is cold and aloof, but she is warm and inviting. As he begins to allow her into his inner world even more, they begin to even out and understand each other better. The ensemble is........wow. Let's just say that they all complement each other well, and can strongly sing Jason Robert Brown's emotional score. Everyone does something in this ensemble, and it sends shivers up my spine now as I think of them in the court room, and the ending sequence. A group of good singers and actors. The end of the first act is wrenching as you see the trial of Leo Frank, and the audacity of his lawyer (aptly played by Jim McCormack) to sit and watch the sham of a trial. If AND WHEN you see this production, the second act, and especially the end of the act WILL haunt you. Numbers like Where Will You Stand When the Flood Comes? puts the question directly in your face. What would you do? Would you willingly sentence a man to death for the murder of a girl based on purely on speculation and not fact? Well, you may say "No I would not stand for or tolerate that.", but unfortunately this IS a true story, and I'm positive that the people involved with it would have said the same thing as you prior to the incident. "I will not tolerate for injustice, I will seek the truth." Except what we mean is that we want the truth, but sugar coated, and laced with happy endings, and if we can't have that, we change it to meet our needs. Sorry, life doesn't work that way. Despite minor amplification problems, Parade turns out to be a stunning and chilling piece of theatre. The slow building of a hangman's platform onstage during bright and painfully happy musical scenes sets the true undertone for the second act. The set is multifunctional and serves its purpose well, and the costumes are gorgeous. The orchestra sounds great too, although a little loud at times. The bass player helped the conductor keep the cast with the orchestra when at times the cast can't see the conductor by keeping a steady and well defined beat. The lighting is very well done and sets the mood for every scene. I really enjoyed Parade, and I will probably go see it again, as I have a tendency to go see good productions at least twice. The final minutes of the show are too emotionally ripping to explain, but it includes a lonely parade of one at the end. A grieving and lonely woman who must live while under the constant watch of her peers, acting as spectators at a parade, wondering what they will see next. Leaving Lucille always wondering what life would have been like if justice had truly been served.

The latest installment of the Everts' exposition of Latino culture is an idea whose time has come (read the census figures). Simply look around - the old monocultural Midwest is gone. There's a need for the explanation and interpretation of cultures to one another. That's a job for artists. " Cleveland Freetimes ~~~~~~~ "Part of the fascination of the program lay in the contrasting but equally charismatic qualities of the Everts. Their choreography breathes quiet ecstasy and eroticism. The Everts' understated devotion may have helped make the dances that "something," work created and performed for a larger purpose than the self. May they soon return" THE NEW YORK TIMES...

SUMMIT, BECK?S PARADE, RADIO SHOW Roy Berko --The Times Newspapers-- A MESSAGE FOR CPH AND GLFT: IF YOU WANT TO SURVIVE TRY THIS! In the September 27 edition of the Cleveland Plain Dealer Tony Brown, the paper?s Theatre Reviewer, wrote a commentary entitled, ?To Survive Local Theater Must Touch Clevelanders.? It is a well-reasoned piece. He discusses the rumored merger of The Cleveland Play House and the Great Lakes Theater Festival. He indicates that for practical purposes the two theatres have ?ceased to be relevant?in the plays they produce, in the way they are produced and in the way they are sold to the public?to the lives of Clevelanders.? I?d like to wade in on one of these issues?the way the plays are produced. How can people in Cleveland feel any loyalty to a theatre when few locals are included in the staging of shows? Locals who actually call Cleveland home, whom we?ve seen on our stages, or who have directed local shows. People we ?know.? For many years CPH was noted for its resident company. Okay, it did become insular, but that is a situation that is easily altered?change some people each year when necessary. Instead, the baby was tossed out with the bathwater. ?Bring in new people for each production? was the new policy. You don?t see that happening with the Cleveland Orchestra. When you go to Dobama, Beck Center, or Ensemble Theatre you see people on stage who you can associate with, who appear regularly in those venues. Former Cleveland San Jose Ballet company members Karen Gabay and Raymond Rodriguez came ?home? this summer to stage several ballets. They have a loyal following from being our prince and princess of local dance. That following showed up in mass numbers because ?our? Karen and Raymond were performing. These weren?t dancers who were shipped in from whereever for a show. They were ?ours.? When someone goes to a CPH or GLTF show they generally have no idea of who will appear. More often than not, these performers have been chosen by a casting company from far away places. The audience doesn?t know these people. But, we do know that they will be gone as soon as the run is over. They have no loyalty to Cleveland, we have no loyalty to them. It?s one of the problems being faced this year by the Cleveland Indians. Who are those guys who are playing with Chief Wahoo on their hats? Fans stopped coming because ?their? players were traded away, gone. Who were those guys pretending to be locals? Why should I go see them? If fan favorite Jim Thome isn?t signed for next year, watch the loyal fans desert even more. You can?t build loyalty with gypsies. They come and are soon gone. I do get excited when Andrew May is going to appear at CPH. Andrew we?ve seen often and know he?s going to give us a great performance. He has ties to Cleveland. He went away, but soon realized that he belonged here and came back. We appreciate that. We feel close to Andrew. CPH needs more Andrew Mays. GLTF needs some Andrew Mays. Am I proposing CPH and/or GLTF develop resident companies? Maybe not, but, at least consider employing local artists and directors on a regular enough basis so that we can go to the theatre to see ?our? people. It will build fan loyalty. We care about these people because we know them, we have empathy with them. Research in organizational psychology reveals that people care about organizations because they feel part of them, because they can intimately identify with them. If we don?t have loyalty we abandon the group. We?ve already had enough organizations flee Cleveland, both businesses and artistic associations. We are capable of supporting two professional theatre companies. We?ve done it in the past, we can do it in the future. But we need to have a reason. Please, Cleveland Play House and Great Lakes Theatre Festival, give us reasons! A GRAND NIGHT FOR SINGING A PLEASANT EXPERIENCE AT ACTORS? SUMMIT Hudson?s Actors? Summit has announced that it is extending its run of A GRAND NIGHT FOR SINGING through October 6. And, why not? What can make for a more pleasant evening of theatre than sitting in a comfortable, well-designed theatre and listening to Rogers and Hammerstein songs? Musical director Marc Baker and director Neil Thackaberry have assembled a competent group to perform songs the likes of ?The Surrey With the Fringe on Top,? ?We Kiss in a Shadow,? ?A Wonderful Guy,? ?Maria,? ?and ?Don?t Marry Me.? These are winners from OKLAHOMA, THE KING AND I, SOUTH PACIFIC, SOUND OF MUSIC and FLOWER DRUM SONG. The cast is quite competent. They each have at least one song that commands the spotlight. Mary Jo Alexander is delightful in ?Stepsisters? Lament? from CINDERELLA. Wayne Turney does a wonderful rendition of ?Love, Look Away.? And, it?s worth going to the show just to see Turney in drag during ?Honey Bun.? It?s impossible not to smile all the way through Maryann Nagel?s ?I?m Just a Girl Who Can?t Say No.? Greg Violand, who has the most professional voice of the ensemble, uses it well in ?We Kiss In a Shadow? and ?This Nearly Was Mine.? The audience went out humming STATE FAIR?S ?It?s a Grand Night For Singing,? the musical curtain call. What a nice way to start a season. PARADE OUTSTANDING AND ASTOUNDING AT BECK CENTER Beck Center has come of age! This summer they staged a near-perfect SMOKEY JOE?S CAF?. At the time I said that it was the best thing I?ve ever seen on their stage. Then, they turn around and make me into a liar. Their staging of PARADE surpassed even SMOKEY JOE. To use words like outstanding and astounding are understatements. Beck?s PARADE is everything that local theatre should be. It is a well conceived, well acted, well directed, dramatically and musically polished performance. WOW! HEAR A DISCUSSION ABOUT ENTERTAINMENT ON WERE Interested in entertainment? Before she retired from the Cleveland Plain Dealer Maryann Evert said that what the area needed was a media outlet for discussions of the arts. That outlet is available. Listen to WERE-AM (1300) on Fridays from 1 to 2 and experience CLEVELAND ACTION LIVE. It?s an interesting blend of is information and discussions about local entertainment ranging from theatre to dance to music to film. Incidentally, I?m the show?s drama critic. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

"A Grand Night for Singing" features more than two dozen of the musical team's greatest hits, performed by an elegant quartet of audience favorites: actors MaryJo Alexander, Maryann Nagel, Wayne Turney and Greg Violand.

Rodgers and Hammerstein shows are classic evergreens. In their day, the two were musical-theater innovators. Composer Rodgers set Hammerstein's lyrics to evoke period and place. "Oklahoma" features simple folk songs and exuberant hoedowns. "Carousel" conjures up hearty 19th-century New Englanders. "The King and I" sounds exotically Far Eastern. Rather than tossing off sparkling standards to be shoved willy-nilly between flimsy book scenes, Rodgers and Hammerstein integrated their songs fully into the drama, always moving the plot along. That very integration makes it tougher to extract pieces from their shows - one reason, perhaps, that a major revue of their work didn't come along until 1994's "A Grand Night for Singing." Creator Walter Bobbie's solution was to center the evening around love songs, with jazzy arrangements.

But the emphasis on love songs sometimes unbalances the show. The first act has the biggest hits and the most upbeat material, leaving the second act to fizzle with too many second-tier ballads such as "This Nearly Was Mine." But the Actors' Summit cast is so winsome and engaging, the audience is happy to go humming along for the ride. The women look dazzling in MaryJo Alexander's sparkling gowns, and under Marc Baker's direction, the band sounds impeccable, although his jaunty tempos occasionally don't let the ballads breathe. In general, it's the specialty numbers that sparkle: Alexander's wry "Stepsisters' Lament" ("Cinderella") and sunny "It's Me" ("Me and Juliet") and Nagel's boisterous "I Cain't Say No" ("Oklahoma") and bittersweet "The Gentleman Is a Dope" ("Allegro"). There are also clever ensemble numbers including "Don't Marry Me" ("Flower Drum Song") and Violand's show-stopping "Honey Bun" ("South Pacific"), with the cast scatting on invisible instruments. Although neither Turney nor Alexander has the voice to make the ballads soar, their acting carries the day. Turney's touching "All at Once You Love Her" is like a one-act play, and his middle-aged huffing-and-puffing with Nagel after "Shall We Dance?" is endearing.

The women look dazzling in MaryJo Alexander's sparkling gowns, and under Marc Baker's direction, the band sounds impeccable, although his jaunty tempos occasionally don't let the ballads breathe.

In general, it's the specialty numbers that sparkle: Alexander's wry "Stepsisters' Lament" ("Cinderella") and sunny "It's Me" ("Me and Juliet") and Nagel's boisterous "I Cain't Say No" ("Oklahoma") and bittersweet "The Gentleman Is a Dope" ("Allegro"). There are also clever ensemble numbers including "Don't Marry Me" ("Flower Drum Song") and Violand's show-stopping "Honey Bun" ("South Pacific"), with the cast scatting on invisible instruments.

Although neither Turney nor Alexander has the voice to make the ballads soar, their acting carries the day. Turney's touching "All at Once You Love Her" is like a one-act play, and his middle-aged huffing-and-puffing with Nagel after "Shall We Dance?" is endearing.

Executive Director James Levin and Artistic Director Randy Rollison are proud to announce the World Premiere of Blue Sky Transmission: A Tibetan Book of the Dead will be extended to include a special benefit performance on Sunday, October 6, 2002. Now one of Cleveland Public Theatre? s most successful box office and artistic successes, Blue Sky Transmission: A Tibetan Book of the Dead has played to sold out houses and strong advanced sales throughout its four-week run. The benefit performance tickets cost $30.00 each and will assist in the transportation of the production to New York City?s La MaMa Theatre in December. Tickets are still available for the final weekend run of the production. For more box office information, please call 216.631.2727. The production is a world premiere, inspired and evoked by The Tibetan Book of The Dead, a sacred text of Tibetan Buddhists. The book is traditionally read at the time of one?s death by a spiritual teacher and serves as a guide through the ?in-between-places? or Bardo, connecting death and rebirth. Blue Sky Transmission: A Tibetan Book of the Dead reveals the thematic structure of the book by telling the story of Allison, a lawyer and mother, whose overwhelming ?to do? list will never be completed due to an inconvenient interruption?her own death. After a dramatic transition, Allison finds herself in a psychedelic world of mystical images and haunting songs both familiar and strange. Guided by a mysterious escort who interprets the words of the book along her journey, she is confronted by a stream of choices that brings her face to face with the nature of her life, past and future. Cleveland Public Theatre?s presentation of Blue Sky Transmission will not be a literal adaptation of The Tibetan Book of the Dead; rather, a ?Western? exploration of Eastern concepts of death through the eyes, ears, and mind of this contemporary American woman. ?This is, by far, the most ambitious production undertaken by CPT in its history,? says Executive Director James Levin. The participation of the project?s leading collaborators, director Raymond Bobgan and composer Halim El-Dabh, is funded by the prestigious National Theatre Artist Residency Program grant of $100,000. Developed by Theater Communications Group and the Pew Charitable Trusts and fully funded by the Trusts, this grant is an unprecedented effort to foster artistic partnerships between theatre artists and theatre companies. Cleveland Public Theatre is one of only fifteen leading American theatre companies selected to receive this grant. Resident Director, Raymond Bobgan (Artistic Director of Wishhounds, a Cleveland based experimental theatre ensemble) and international composer Halim El-Dabh have been in residency at Cleveland Public Theatre for the past season researching and preparing for this unique production. El-Dabh will create the intricate original score for the production. El-Dabh has collaborated closely with Martha Graham, John Cage and Leonard Bernstein and composed the score ?Sound and Lights of the Pyramids of Giza? which has played daily at the site of the Great Pyramid in Egypt since 1961. Rehearsals for Blue Sky Transmission: A Tibetan Book of the Dead began on June 4, 2002 with an international ensemble of sixteen artists (see biographies). The cast includes Cleveland based actors as well as performers from New York City, Los Angeles and Toronto. The production team consists of New York Costume Designer Karen Young, CPT Resident Lighting Designer Trad A Burns, and from Trinidad, Set Designer Michael Guy James whose work has been featured in the Cleveland Museum of Art?s Parade The Circle. Contributing to the original script are three local writers: playwright Mike Geither, and poet Patricia Harusame Leebove and National Poetry Slam Champion, Ray McNiece. The design and artistic team will collaborate over a four-month development and rehearsal period. After receiving its world premiere in Cleveland, Blue Sky Transmission: A Tibetan Book of the Dead is scheduled to run for four weeks at New York City ?s experimental theatre, La Mama Theatre, ETC. This partnership is an especially poignant homecoming for Executive Director James Levin who began his theatrical career as a company member and prot?g? of Ellen Stewart at La Mama in 1979. Since its founding, Cleveland Public Theatre has modeled itself after La Mama?s dedication to social justice issues and innovative, cutting edge live performance. As a companion to this production, Cleveland Public Theatre will offer a series of lectures, forums and discussions centered around the concepts of dying, death and the afterlife. These events will examine death from many different perspectives: spiritual, emotional, literary and artistic. These discussions will include a Comparative Religion panel with representatives from several major religions in the Cleveland area discussing individual religious beliefs on death and the afterlife, and how those beliefs help inform each religion?s tenets for living a good life; A forum featuring several hospice care workers will examine preparation of the terminally ill for death, and what lessons are to be learned from the dying; An open book discussion of the Bardo Thodol, more commonly known as The Tibetan Book of the Dead will be held at a local independently owned bookstore; Finally, a Japanese film that imagines an alternate view of the afterlife will be presented by Cleveland Film Works at Cleveland Public Theatre sometime in August. All forums, panels and discussions are free and open to the general public. Times and dates for these events are to be announced in August. For more information, please call 216.631.2727. The mission of Cleveland Public Theatre is to inspire, nurture, challenge, amaze, educate and empower artists and audiences, in order to make the Cleveland Public a more conscious and compassionate community. ------=_NextPart_000_01DE_01C264A7.0C8EDB00 Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

We're going to be doing it in two parts - First, we're going to have a segment on the show where we'll be doing the auditions for the announcer position "live" on the show. This is meant to be humorous and we'll probably instruct the actors to read the announcer script in a funny way. Some people we'll have audition "live" on the show. The idea for the segment is, basically, that all the people auditioning suck. Now, in reality, we ARE auditioning for a new announcer to read the opening credits for our show, banter with the host and co-host in the first segment of each show, and sometimes participate in skits. So, any actors who want to just be in the skit, please contact our associate producer Mikki at mouse595 at aol.com. We'll be taping the skit at Adelphia's studios in Brook Park on Thursday, October 3 from about 8 p.m. till 10 p.m. If you also are interested in being our permanent announcer, also e-mail Mikki for that same time and date. Just let her know you're interested in auditioning for real, not just being a part of the skit. The Jeremy Borger Show tapes every other Thursday night, from 7 p.m. till 10 p.m. This is a NON UNION and UNPAID position. Visit www.jeremyborger.com for more information on the show.

Thur-Sat 8 pm, Sun 3 = pm
$10-$19 = =95 216-521-2540

With its splendid production of the = demanding musical Parade, the once stodgy and dismissible Beck Center = has scaled yet another level in its continuing rise as the area's = nerviest, most exciting and vital theater. While it's one thing to = bravely program such a daunting and complex piece, it's another, = worlds-apart matter to actually bring it off. Led by director Scott = Spence, however, Beck manages the feat with plenty of artistic merit to = spare.

Perhaps the finest serious musical of = the decade, Jason Robert Brown and Alfred Uhry's Parade has had a = troubled and tortured history. Its New York run was undeservedly cut = short by a negative New York Times review and the producer's bankruptcy. = An estimable touring edition, which played the Palace in the fall of = 2000, was abruptly terminated after a couple of canceled bookings for = lack of advance ticket sales. It may be that the light-hearted shy away = from the show's sober subject, but the piece is anything but dour and = gloomy. Stirring and ultimately uplifting in its compassionate humanity, = the work's skilled melding of words and music radiantly reaffirms that = the American musical form is capable of housing the most searching and = profound artistic expression.

Parade deals with the railroading and = eventual mob-lynching of Leo Frank for the 1913 Atlanta murder of = 13-year-old Mary Phagan. The girl's boss, Frank was the last person who = admitted seeing her alive. His only crime, however, was being a Yankee = Jew in a racially prejudiced South still seething with Civil War = humiliation.

The show's multi-scened book, by noted = playwright Uhry (Driving Miss Daisy), telescopes the two-year struggle = for justice by Frank and his wife, Lucille, in a smoothly = impressionistic style. We get flashes of the Franks' sterile marriage; = the discovery of Phagan's murder on the day of the jingoistic = Confederate Veterans' annual parade; the buildup of the case against = Frank by the prejudicial press, public and corrupt officials; the = railroading trial; the lengthy legal battle by the couple to overturn = the guilty verdict, during which they fall genuinely in love; and, = finally, Frank's murder. Occasionally given to stereotyping, Uhry more = often displays a penetrating ability to evoke the emotional truths of = these characters and situations, and to accumulate them to trenchant = effect.

It's Brown's resplendently expressive = score, though, that anchors the evening. Employing a collage of musical = forms -- ragtime, jazz, hymns, sentimental ballads -- the composer = imbues them with a modern sensibility, fertile inventiveness and a = contagious gift for melody, all of which fuse seamlessly with and exalt = the tragic narrative.

In perhaps his best effort to date, = director Spence exerts an impressive control over the piece's many = complexities and a large cast of 32. While never pushing, he keeps the = evening consistently animated and the focus squarely on the story and = its human quotient. Spence is greatly aided in the endeavor by an = outstanding performance from Keith Gerchak as Frank. Beginning unsympathetically as a cold, caustic nerd, = the actor slowly blossoms -- especially through some forcefully sung = numbers -- into something like a mensch as both his love for his wife and = his calamity deepen. Physically unprepossessing, the actor is simply a = powerhouse when it comes to conveying both musical and character = conviction.

As Lucille, Sandra = Emrick is, once again, a vibrant presence. Though she has a tendency to = blast through every song, the voice is always firm, melodious and = appealing. Kyle Primous is simultaneously silky and slimy in two = show-stopping numbers as Phagan's most likely real killer; Robert Gibb = generates much empathy as the brave Georgia governor who finally does = the right thing; Brian Etchell makes a believably devious D.A.; G.A. = Taggett is a despicable racist newspaper editor; Hannah DelMonte = a saucy Mary Phagan; Patrick Carroll a = kindly prison guard; and Ryan Bergeron ringingly delivers the perversely = beautiful Confederate hymn, "The Old Red Hills of = Home."

For that matter, the whole of the = sundry cast is commendable, Don McBride's settings spare but = appropriate, Aly Hernan's myriad costumes spot-on, Larry Goodpaster's = musical direction of an enlarged, 18-piece orchestra invigorating, and = the entire occasion a cause for celebration, if not a parade all its = own.

Founded more than twenty years ago by artistic visionary Marie Hale, Ballet Florida consistently earns national recognition for its work in dance and education. Ballet Florida will perform Monday, November 25 at 8:00 PM in the E. Turner Stump Theatre of the Music & Speech Center at Kent State University=92s Main Campus. =93From pointe shoes to Reeboks, Ballet Florida has something for everyone.=94 - The Times Picayune New Orleans Ballet Florida will be performing four selections from their extensive repertory on November 25th. LENTO A TEMPO E APPASSIONATO=09 is choreographed by Vicente Nebrada and performed to music by Scriabin. Following the development of a relationship between two lovers, this elegant pas de deux begins slowly and then explodes with passion in its dynamic conclusion. Performed with a live piano accompanist on stage, it is a work that is sure to please any audience. READ MY HIPS, choreographed by Daniel Ezralow with music by Michel Colombier is a fast paced full company work that explodes off the stage and confronts the audience in their seats. Packed with pounding rhythms and thrilling visual dynamics, this bravura work does for dance what MTV does for music. Choreographed by William Forsythe, STEPTEXT, is performed to the music of J. S. Bach. Few choreographers can claim to have captured the spirit of 20th century ballet as much as William Forsythe. Disjointed, challenging movement motifs are accented by an abridged treatment of the Bach score. This work is a technical masterpiece, demanding full quality pointe work and strength. Intimate and involving, this fascinating ballet is a sure indication of the future of Ballet. THE ENVELOPE, the signature work from the exciting choreographer David Parsons, performed to music by Rossini, is witty and sophisticated. A group of dancers attempt first to find out the contents of a mysterious envelope, then with equal manic vigor, attempt to discard it. Entertaining and yet still formal in its construction, this is a popular dance work all over the world. Founded more than twenty years ago by artistic visionary Marie Hale, Ballet Florida consistently earns national recognition for its work in dance and education. Incorporated as Ballet Arts Foundation in 1973, the company began as a dance school and formed its professional company in 1986. Over the past 11 years, Ballet Florida has earned the distinction of being one of the fastest growing dance companies in America, one of the top 20 dance companies in the nation. Ballet Florida is one of the few dance companies in the country that performs such a diverse and eclectic repertory. The exceptional talent of its 21 professional dancers and the artistic integrity of Marie Hale continually attract renowned choreographers to Palm Beach County to work with the company. New works by great artists such as George Balanchine, Peter Martins, Alvin Ailey, Vicente Nebrada, Val Caniparoli, and Mauricio Wainrot are regularly and frequently added to the repertory. Thomas Schroth (1922-1997) was born in Niles, Ohio and spent his life in that community as a professional architect. A world cultural traveler, he personified the interrelatedness of human expression and human progress. The Thomas Schroth Visiting Artist Series is devoted to exploring that relationship. The Thomas Schroth Visiting Artist Series has been made possible by a generous gift from David "Max" and Cecile "Cil" Draime in memory of their dear friend, Tom Schroth. This performance is free and open to the public as a part of the Thomas Schroth Visiting Artist Series. Ballet Florida will perform at 8:00 PM in the E. Turner Stump Theatre of the Music & Speech Building on the Main Kent State University Campus. For pictures of Ballet Florida please email bhilger at kent.edu.

It runs September 26-October 6, 2002, 8pm. Call 415-863-9834 for reservations; tickets are $15-18. I wrote this comedy this summer when I was being plagued by carpal tunnel syndrome -- which has now happily gone away. I'd appreciate hearing from anybody in the Bay Area who has a chance to see it. Meanwhile, I'm looking foward to several spring productions: - The East Coast premiere of my musical THE LAST RED WAGON TENT SHOW IN THE LAND takes place this spring at Teaneck New Theatre (Teaneck, NJ), directed by C. Edwin Shade. This chamber musical about 3 women in the 1950's whose lives are changed by a traveling circus is a sentimental favorite -- my first musical -- and collaborator Teddi Davis & I are both eagerly looking forward to seeing it on stage again. - Cincinnati's New Edgecliff Theatre will produce my full-length play THREE THE HARD WAY in March. This makes the 11th US production for this ensemble comedy/drama, about 3 offbeat sisters dealing with their gambler father's funeral in Reno.

'03 --=====================_15021161==_.ALT Content-Type: text/html; charset="us-ascii" Hi cyberfriends:

Here's a brief plugmobile for a *very* brief upcoming play: 

- My short-short "Taste It" is being included in the 2nd Annual Feast of One-Page Plays by Abydos/The Director's Theatre, which previews tonight at the ODC Theatre, 3153 17th Street (@ Shotwell), San Francisco, CA.  It runs September 26-October 6, 2002, 8pm.  Call 415-863-9834 for reservations; tickets are $15-18.  I wrote this comedy this summer when I was being plagued by carpal tunnel syndrome -- which has now happily gone away.  I'd appreciate hearing from anybody in the Bay Area who has a chance to see it.

Meanwhile, I'm looking foward to several spring productions: 
- The East Coast premiere of my musical THE LAST RED WAGON TENT SHOW IN THE LAND takes place this spring at Teaneck New Theatre (Teaneck, NJ), directed by C. Edwin Shade.  This chamber musical about 3 women in the 1950's whose lives are changed by a traveling circus  is a sentimental favorite -- my first musical -- and collaborator Teddi Davis & I are both eagerly looking forward to seeing it on stage again.
- Cincinnati's New Edgecliff Theatre will produce my full-length play THREE THE HARD WAY in March.  This makes the 11th US production for this ensemble comedy/drama, about 3 offbeat sisters dealing with their gambler father's funeral in Reno. 

As for current projects:
- With collaborators Patti McKenny and Doug Frew, I'm still at work on our new George Sand/Sarah Bernhardt musical.  We hope to present another excerpt at a Chicago event upcoming soon. 
- And James Levin and I are at work at revisions to our musical DISCORDIA, scheduled for Cleveland Public Theatre's 2003 season.  We now have a demo CD available with 10 songs from the score, if any are interested in hearing it.

Cheers, all --

Yes, there are some difficulties understanding all of the words at times due to microphone errors, but those soon become unnoticeable as the story takes hold of you. The performances in this production are so focused that you don't have to hear the words come of the actor's mouth's, you can understand them by their expression and demeanor. Keith Gerchak portrays the role of Leo Frank, the Jewish man accused by his "peers" (please note the parentheses) of murdering a young child. He plays the role with ease, and watching the transformation he goes through is something you only hope to see in theatre. He also has a wonderful singing voice, and he gives the role the respect that it deserves. More singing praises go to Sandra Emerick, who plays the role of Lucille, Leo's wife. She plays opposite against Gerchak's icy-to-begin with Leo. She is the woman who wants to help her husband but is told to stay in the kitchen. She finally convinces Leo that he has to listen to her and allow her to help if he wants to be freed. Gerchak and Emerick balance each other out nicely, at the beginning he is cold and aloof, but she is warm and inviting. As he begins to allow her into his inner world even more, they begin to even out and understand each other better. The ensemble is........wow. Let's just say that they all complement each other well, and can strongly sing Jason Robert Brown's emotional score. Everyone does something in this ensemble, and it sends shivers up my spine now as I think of them in the court room, and the ending sequence. A group of good singers and actors. The end of the first act is wrenching as you see the trial of Leo Frank, and the audacity of his lawyer (aptly played by Jim McCormack) to sit and watch the sham of a trial. If AND WHEN you see this production, the second act, and especially the end of the act WILL haunt you. Numbers like Where Will You Stand When the Flood Comes? puts the question directly in your face. What would you do? Would you willingly sentence a man to death for the murder of a girl based on purely on speculation and not fact? Well, you may say "No I would not stand for or tolerate that.", but unfortunately this IS a true story, and I'm positive that the people involved with it would have said the same thing as you prior to the incident. "I will not tolerate for injustice, I will seek the truth." Except what we mean is that we want the truth, but sugar coated, and laced with happy endings, and if we can't have that, we change it to meet our needs. Sorry, life doesn't work that way. Despite minor amplification problems, Parade turns out to be a stunning and chilling piece of theatre. The slow building of a hangman's platform onstage during bright and painfully happy musical scenes sets the true undertone for the second act. The set is multifunctional and serves its purpose well, and the costumes are gorgeous. The orchestra sounds great too, although a little loud at times. The bass player helped the conductor keep the cast with the orchestra when at times the cast can't see the conductor by keeping a steady and well defined beat. The lighting is very well done and sets the mood for every scene. I really enjoyed Parade, and I will probably go see it again, as I have a tendency to go see good productions at least twice. The final minutes of the show are too emotionally ripping to explain, but it includes a lonely parade of one at the end. A grieving and lonely woman who must live while under the constant watch of her peers, acting as spectators at a parade, wondering what they will see next. Leaving Lucille always wondering what life would have been like if justice had truly been served.

SUMMIT, BECK?S PARADE, RADIO SHOW Roy Berko --The Times Newspapers-- A MESSAGE FOR CPH AND GLFT: IF YOU WANT TO SURVIVE TRY THIS! In the September 27 edition of the Cleveland Plain Dealer Tony Brown, the paper?s Theatre Reviewer, wrote a commentary entitled, ?To Survive Local Theater Must Touch Clevelanders.? It is a well-reasoned piece. He discusses the rumored merger of The Cleveland Play House and the Great Lakes Theater Festival. He indicates that for practical purposes the two theatres have ?ceased to be relevant?in the plays they produce, in the way they are produced and in the way they are sold to the public?to the lives of Clevelanders.? I?d like to wade in on one of these issues?the way the plays are produced. How can people in Cleveland feel any loyalty to a theatre when few locals are included in the staging of shows? Locals who actually call Cleveland home, whom we?ve seen on our stages, or who have directed local shows. People we ?know.? For many years CPH was noted for its resident company. Okay, it did become insular, but that is a situation that is easily altered?change some people each year when necessary. Instead, the baby was tossed out with the bathwater. ?Bring in new people for each production? was the new policy. You don?t see that happening with the Cleveland Orchestra. When you go to Dobama, Beck Center, or Ensemble Theatre you see people on stage who you can associate with, who appear regularly in those venues. Former Cleveland San Jose Ballet company members Karen Gabay and Raymond Rodriguez came ?home? this summer to stage several ballets. They have a loyal following from being our prince and princess of local dance. That following showed up in mass numbers because ?our? Karen and Raymond were performing. These weren?t dancers who were shipped in from whereever for a show. They were ?ours.? When someone goes to a CPH or GLTF show they generally have no idea of who will appear. More often than not, these performers have been chosen by a casting company from far away places. The audience doesn?t know these people. But, we do know that they will be gone as soon as the run is over. They have no loyalty to Cleveland, we have no loyalty to them. It?s one of the problems being faced this year by the Cleveland Indians. Who are those guys who are playing with Chief Wahoo on their hats? Fans stopped coming because ?their? players were traded away, gone. Who were those guys pretending to be locals? Why should I go see them? If fan favorite Jim Thome isn?t signed for next year, watch the loyal fans desert even more. You can?t build loyalty with gypsies. They come and are soon gone. I do get excited when Andrew May is going to appear at CPH. Andrew we?ve seen often and know he?s going to give us a great performance. He has ties to Cleveland. He went away, but soon realized that he belonged here and came back. We appreciate that. We feel close to Andrew. CPH needs more Andrew Mays. GLTF needs some Andrew Mays. Am I proposing CPH and/or GLTF develop resident companies? Maybe not, but, at least consider employing local artists and directors on a regular enough basis so that we can go to the theatre to see ?our? people. It will build fan loyalty. We care about these people because we know them, we have empathy with them. Research in organizational psychology reveals that people care about organizations because they feel part of them, because they can intimately identify with them. If we don?t have loyalty we abandon the group. We?ve already had enough organizations flee Cleveland, both businesses and artistic associations. We are capable of supporting two professional theatre companies. We?ve done it in the past, we can do it in the future. But we need to have a reason. Please, Cleveland Play House and Great Lakes Theatre Festival, give us reasons! A GRAND NIGHT FOR SINGING A PLEASANT EXPERIENCE AT ACTORS? SUMMIT Hudson?s Actors? Summit has announced that it is extending its run of A GRAND NIGHT FOR SINGING through October 6. And, why not? What can make for a more pleasant evening of theatre than sitting in a comfortable, well-designed theatre and listening to Rogers and Hammerstein songs? Musical director Marc Baker and director Neil Thackaberry have assembled a competent group to perform songs the likes of ?The Surrey With the Fringe on Top,? ?We Kiss in a Shadow,? ?A Wonderful Guy,? ?Maria,? ?and ?Don?t Marry Me.? These are winners from OKLAHOMA, THE KING AND I, SOUTH PACIFIC, SOUND OF MUSIC and FLOWER DRUM SONG. The cast is quite competent. They each have at least one song that commands the spotlight. Mary Jo Alexander is delightful in ?Stepsisters? Lament? from CINDERELLA. Wayne Turney does a wonderful rendition of ?Love, Look Away.? And, it?s worth going to the show just to see Turney in drag during ?Honey Bun.? It?s impossible not to smile all the way through Maryann Nagel?s ?I?m Just a Girl Who Can?t Say No.? Greg Violand, who has the most professional voice of the ensemble, uses it well in ?We Kiss In a Shadow? and ?This Nearly Was Mine.? The audience went out humming STATE FAIR?S ?It?s a Grand Night For Singing,? the musical curtain call. What a nice way to start a season. PARADE OUTSTANDING AND ASTOUNDING AT BECK CENTER Beck Center has come of age! This summer they staged a near-perfect SMOKEY JOE?S CAF?. At the time I said that it was the best thing I?ve ever seen on their stage. Then, they turn around and make me into a liar. Their staging of PARADE surpassed even SMOKEY JOE. To use words like outstanding and astounding are understatements. Beck?s PARADE is everything that local theatre should be. It is a well conceived, well acted, well directed, dramatically and musically polished performance. WOW! HEAR A DISCUSSION ABOUT ENTERTAINMENT ON WERE Interested in entertainment? Before she retired from the Cleveland Plain Dealer Maryann Evert said that what the area needed was a media outlet for discussions of the arts. That outlet is available. Listen to WERE-AM (1300) on Fridays from 1 to 2 and experience CLEVELAND ACTION LIVE. It?s an interesting blend of is information and discussions about local entertainment ranging from theatre to dance to music to film. Incidentally, I?m the show?s drama critic. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

Executive Director James Levin and Artistic Director Randy Rollison are proud to announce the World Premiere of Blue Sky Transmission: A Tibetan Book of the Dead will be extended to include a special benefit performance on Sunday, October 6, 2002. Now one of Cleveland Public Theatre? s most successful box office and artistic successes, Blue Sky Transmission: A Tibetan Book of the Dead has played to sold out houses and strong advanced sales throughout its four-week run. The benefit performance tickets cost $30.00 each and will assist in the transportation of the production to New York City?s La MaMa Theatre in December. Tickets are still available for the final weekend run of the production. For more box office information, please call 216.631.2727. The production is a world premiere, inspired and evoked by The Tibetan Book of The Dead, a sacred text of Tibetan Buddhists. The book is traditionally read at the time of one?s death by a spiritual teacher and serves as a guide through the ?in-between-places? or Bardo, connecting death and rebirth. Blue Sky Transmission: A Tibetan Book of the Dead reveals the thematic structure of the book by telling the story of Allison, a lawyer and mother, whose overwhelming ?to do? list will never be completed due to an inconvenient interruption?her own death. After a dramatic transition, Allison finds herself in a psychedelic world of mystical images and haunting songs both familiar and strange. Guided by a mysterious escort who interprets the words of the book along her journey, she is confronted by a stream of choices that brings her face to face with the nature of her life, past and future. Cleveland Public Theatre?s presentation of Blue Sky Transmission will not be a literal adaptation of The Tibetan Book of the Dead; rather, a ?Western? exploration of Eastern concepts of death through the eyes, ears, and mind of this contemporary American woman. ?This is, by far, the most ambitious production undertaken by CPT in its history,? says Executive Director James Levin. The participation of the project?s leading collaborators, director Raymond Bobgan and composer Halim El-Dabh, is funded by the prestigious National Theatre Artist Residency Program grant of $100,000. Developed by Theater Communications Group and the Pew Charitable Trusts and fully funded by the Trusts, this grant is an unprecedented effort to foster artistic partnerships between theatre artists and theatre companies. Cleveland Public Theatre is one of only fifteen leading American theatre companies selected to receive this grant. Resident Director, Raymond Bobgan (Artistic Director of Wishhounds, a Cleveland based experimental theatre ensemble) and international composer Halim El-Dabh have been in residency at Cleveland Public Theatre for the past season researching and preparing for this unique production. El-Dabh will create the intricate original score for the production. El-Dabh has collaborated closely with Martha Graham, John Cage and Leonard Bernstein and composed the score ?Sound and Lights of the Pyramids of Giza? which has played daily at the site of the Great Pyramid in Egypt since 1961. Rehearsals for Blue Sky Transmission: A Tibetan Book of the Dead began on June 4, 2002 with an international ensemble of sixteen artists (see biographies). The cast includes Cleveland based actors as well as performers from New York City, Los Angeles and Toronto. The production team consists of New York Costume Designer Karen Young, CPT Resident Lighting Designer Trad A Burns, and from Trinidad, Set Designer Michael Guy James whose work has been featured in the Cleveland Museum of Art?s Parade The Circle. Contributing to the original script are three local writers: playwright Mike Geither, and poet Patricia Harusame Leebove and National Poetry Slam Champion, Ray McNiece. The design and artistic team will collaborate over a four-month development and rehearsal period. After receiving its world premiere in Cleveland, Blue Sky Transmission: A Tibetan Book of the Dead is scheduled to run for four weeks at New York City ?s experimental theatre, La Mama Theatre, ETC. This partnership is an especially poignant homecoming for Executive Director James Levin who began his theatrical career as a company member and prot?g? of Ellen Stewart at La Mama in 1979. Since its founding, Cleveland Public Theatre has modeled itself after La Mama?s dedication to social justice issues and innovative, cutting edge live performance. As a companion to this production, Cleveland Public Theatre will offer a series of lectures, forums and discussions centered around the concepts of dying, death and the afterlife. These events will examine death from many different perspectives: spiritual, emotional, literary and artistic. These discussions will include a Comparative Religion panel with representatives from several major religions in the Cleveland area discussing individual religious beliefs on death and the afterlife, and how those beliefs help inform each religion?s tenets for living a good life; A forum featuring several hospice care workers will examine preparation of the terminally ill for death, and what lessons are to be learned from the dying; An open book discussion of the Bardo Thodol, more commonly known as The Tibetan Book of the Dead will be held at a local independently owned bookstore; Finally, a Japanese film that imagines an alternate view of the afterlife will be presented by Cleveland Film Works at Cleveland Public Theatre sometime in August. All forums, panels and discussions are free and open to the general public. Times and dates for these events are to be announced in August. For more information, please call 216.631.2727. The mission of Cleveland Public Theatre is to inspire, nurture, challenge, amaze, educate and empower artists and audiences, in order to make the Cleveland Public a more conscious and compassionate community. ------=_NextPart_000_01DE_01C264A7.0C8EDB00 Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

We're going to be doing it in two parts - First, we're going to have a segment on the show where we'll be doing the auditions for the announcer position "live" on the show. This is meant to be humorous and we'll probably instruct the actors to read the announcer script in a funny way. Some people we'll have audition "live" on the show. The idea for the segment is, basically, that all the people auditioning suck. Now, in reality, we ARE auditioning for a new announcer to read the opening credits for our show, banter with the host and co-host in the first segment of each show, and sometimes participate in skits. So, any actors who want to just be in the skit, please contact our associate producer Mikki at mouse595 at aol.com. We'll be taping the skit at Adelphia's studios in Brook Park on Thursday, October 3 from about 8 p.m. till 10 p.m. If you also are interested in being our permanent announcer, also e-mail Mikki for that same time and date. Just let her know you're interested in auditioning for real, not just being a part of the skit. The Jeremy Borger Show tapes every other Thursday night, from 7 p.m. till 10 p.m. This is a NON UNION and UNPAID position. Visit www.jeremyborger.com for more information on the show.

BECK CENTER TAKES ON ALFRED UHRY'S = CHALLENGING PARADE
 
PARADE
Through Oct. = 6
Beck Center
17801 Detroit Ave., = Lakewood
Thur-Sat 8 pm, Sun 3 = pm
$10-$19 = =95 216-521-2540

With its splendid production of the = demanding musical Parade, the once stodgy and dismissible Beck Center = has scaled yet another level in its continuing rise as the area's = nerviest, most exciting and vital theater. While it's one thing to = bravely program such a daunting and complex piece, it's another, = worlds-apart matter to actually bring it off. Led by director Scott = Spence, however, Beck manages the feat with plenty of artistic merit to = spare.

Perhaps the finest serious musical of = the decade, Jason Robert Brown and Alfred Uhry's Parade has had a = troubled and tortured history. Its New York run was undeservedly cut = short by a negative New York Times review and the producer's bankruptcy. = An estimable touring edition, which played the Palace in the fall of = 2000, was abruptly terminated after a couple of canceled bookings for = lack of advance ticket sales. It may be that the light-hearted shy away = from the show's sober subject, but the piece is anything but dour and = gloomy. Stirring and ultimately uplifting in its compassionate humanity, = the work's skilled melding of words and music radiantly reaffirms that = the American musical form is capable of housing the most searching and = profound artistic expression.

Parade deals with the railroading and = eventual mob-lynching of Leo Frank for the 1913 Atlanta murder of = 13-year-old Mary Phagan. The girl's boss, Frank was the last person who = admitted seeing her alive. His only crime, however, was being a Yankee = Jew in a racially prejudiced South still seething with Civil War = humiliation.

The show's multi-scened book, by noted = playwright Uhry (Driving Miss Daisy), telescopes the two-year struggle = for justice by Frank and his wife, Lucille, in a smoothly = impressionistic style. We get flashes of the Franks' sterile marriage; = the discovery of Phagan's murder on the day of the jingoistic = Confederate Veterans' annual parade; the buildup of the case against = Frank by the prejudicial press, public and corrupt officials; the = railroading trial; the lengthy legal battle by the couple to overturn = the guilty verdict, during which they fall genuinely in love; and, = finally, Frank's murder. Occasionally given to stereotyping, Uhry more = often displays a penetrating ability to evoke the emotional truths of = these characters and situations, and to accumulate them to trenchant = effect.

It's Brown's resplendently expressive = score, though, that anchors the evening. Employing a collage of musical = forms -- ragtime, jazz, hymns, sentimental ballads -- the composer = imbues them with a modern sensibility, fertile inventiveness and a = contagious gift for melody, all of which fuse seamlessly with and exalt = the tragic narrative.

In perhaps his best effort to date, = director Spence exerts an impressive control over the piece's many = complexities and a large cast of 32. While never pushing, he keeps the = evening consistently animated and the focus squarely on the story and = its human quotient. Spence is greatly aided in the endeavor by an = outstanding performance from Keith Gerchak as Frank. Beginning unsympathetically as a cold, caustic nerd, = the actor slowly blossoms -- especially through some forcefully sung = numbers -- into something like a mensch as both his love for his wife and = his calamity deepen. Physically unprepossessing, the actor is simply a = powerhouse when it comes to conveying both musical and character = conviction.

As Lucille, Sandra = Emrick is, once again, a vibrant presence. Though she has a tendency to = blast through every song, the voice is always firm, melodious and = appealing. Kyle Primous is simultaneously silky and slimy in two = show-stopping numbers as Phagan's most likely real killer; Robert Gibb = generates much empathy as the brave Georgia governor who finally does = the right thing; Brian Etchell makes a believably devious D.A.; G.A. = Taggett is a despicable racist newspaper editor; Hannah DelMonte = a saucy Mary Phagan; Patrick Carroll a = kindly prison guard; and Ryan Bergeron ringingly delivers the perversely = beautiful Confederate hymn, "The Old Red Hills of = Home."

For that matter, the whole of the = sundry cast is commendable, Don McBride's settings spare but = appropriate, Aly Hernan's myriad costumes spot-on, Larry Goodpaster's = musical direction of an enlarged, 18-piece orchestra invigorating, and = the entire occasion a cause for celebration, if not a parade all its = own.

From emadden at kent.edu Thu Sep 26 14:36:13 2002 From: emadden at kent.edu (emadden) Date: Thu Sep 26 14:36:13 2002 Subject: [NEohioPAL]FLORIDA BALLET to perform for free at Kent State Message-ID: <3D979CF6@webmail.kent.edu> FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE THE THOMAS SCHROTH VISITING ARTIST SERIES PRESENTS BALLET FLORIDA Ballet Florida presents a free concert at Kent State University Kent, OH =96 Ballet Florida will perform a free concert at Kent State University as a part of the Thomas Schroth Visiting Artist Series. Founded more than twenty years ago by artistic visionary Marie Hale, Ballet Florida consistently earns national recognition for its work in dance and education. Ballet Florida will perform Monday, November 25 at 8:00 PM in the E. Turner Stump Theatre of the Music & Speech Center at Kent State University=92s Main Campus. =93From pointe shoes to Reeboks, Ballet Florida has something for everyone.=94 - The Times Picayune New Orleans Ballet Florida will be performing four selections from their extensive repertory on November 25th. LENTO A TEMPO E APPASSIONATO=09 is choreographed by Vicente Nebrada and performed to music by Scriabin. Following the development of a relationship between two lovers, this elegant pas de deux begins slowly and then explodes with passion in its dynamic conclusion. Performed with a live piano accompanist on stage, it is a work that is sure to please any audience. READ MY HIPS, choreographed by Daniel Ezralow with music by Michel Colombier is a fast paced full company work that explodes off the stage and confronts the audience in their seats. Packed with pounding rhythms and thrilling visual dynamics, this bravura work does for dance what MTV does for music. Choreographed by William Forsythe, STEPTEXT, is performed to the music of J. S. Bach. Few choreographers can claim to have captured the spirit of 20th century ballet as much as William Forsythe. Disjointed, challenging movement motifs are accented by an abridged treatment of the Bach score. This work is a technical masterpiece, demanding full quality pointe work and strength. Intimate and involving, this fascinating ballet is a sure indication of the future of Ballet. THE ENVELOPE, the signature work from the exciting choreographer David Parsons, performed to music by Rossini, is witty and sophisticated. A group of dancers attempt first to find out the contents of a mysterious envelope, then with equal manic vigor, attempt to discard it. Entertaining and yet still formal in its construction, this is a popular dance work all over the world. Founded more than twenty years ago by artistic visionary Marie Hale, Ballet Florida consistently earns national recognition for its work in dance and education. Incorporated as Ballet Arts Foundation in 1973, the company began as a dance school and formed its professional company in 1986. Over the past 11 years, Ballet Florida has earned the distinction of being one of the fastest growing dance companies in America, one of the top 20 dance companies in the nation. Ballet Florida is one of the few dance companies in the country that performs such a diverse and eclectic repertory. The exceptional talent of its 21 professional dancers and the artistic integrity of Marie Hale continually attract renowned choreographers to Palm Beach County to work with the company. New works by great artists such as George Balanchine, Peter Martins, Alvin Ailey, Vicente Nebrada, Val Caniparoli, and Mauricio Wainrot are regularly and frequently added to the repertory. Thomas Schroth (1922-1997) was born in Niles, Ohio and spent his life in that community as a professional architect. A world cultural traveler, he personified the interrelatedness of human expression and human progress. The Thomas Schroth Visiting Artist Series is devoted to exploring that relationship. The Thomas Schroth Visiting Artist Series has been made possible by a generous gift from David "Max" and Cecile "Cil" Draime in memory of their dear friend, Tom Schroth. This performance is free and open to the public as a part of the Thomas Schroth Visiting Artist Series. Ballet Florida will perform at 8:00 PM in the E. Turner Stump Theatre of the Music & Speech Building on the Main Kent State University Campus. For pictures of Ballet Florida please email bhilger at kent.edu.

Yes, there are some difficulties understanding all of the words at times due to microphone errors, but those soon become unnoticeable as the story takes hold of you. The performances in this production are so focused that you don't have to hear the words come of the actor's mouth's, you can understand them by their expression and demeanor. Keith Gerchak portrays the role of Leo Frank, the Jewish man accused by his "peers" (please note the parentheses) of murdering a young child. He plays the role with ease, and watching the transformation he goes through is something you only hope to see in theatre. He also has a wonderful singing voice, and he gives the role the respect that it deserves. More singing praises go to Sandra Emerick, who plays the role of Lucille, Leo's wife. She plays opposite against Gerchak's icy-to-begin with Leo. She is the woman who wants to help her husband but is told to stay in the kitchen. She finally convinces Leo that he has to listen to her and allow her to help if he wants to be freed. Gerchak and Emerick balance each other out nicely, at the beginning he is cold and aloof, but she is warm and inviting. As he begins to allow her into his inner world even more, they begin to even out and understand each other better. The ensemble is........wow. Let's just say that they all complement each other well, and can strongly sing Jason Robert Brown's emotional score. Everyone does something in this ensemble, and it sends shivers up my spine now as I think of them in the court room, and the ending sequence. A group of good singers and actors. The end of the first act is wrenching as you see the trial of Leo Frank, and the audacity of his lawyer (aptly played by Jim McCormack) to sit and watch the sham of a trial. If AND WHEN you see this production, the second act, and especially the end of the act WILL haunt you. Numbers like Where Will You Stand When the Flood Comes? puts the question directly in your face. What would you do? Would you willingly sentence a man to death for the murder of a girl based on purely on speculation and not fact? Well, you may say "No I would not stand for or tolerate that.", but unfortunately this IS a true story, and I'm positive that the people involved with it would have said the same thing as you prior to the incident. "I will not tolerate for injustice, I will seek the truth." Except what we mean is that we want the truth, but sugar coated, and laced with happy endings, and if we can't have that, we change it to meet our needs. Sorry, life doesn't work that way. Despite minor amplification problems, Parade turns out to be a stunning and chilling piece of theatre. The slow building of a hangman's platform onstage during bright and painfully happy musical scenes sets the true undertone for the second act. The set is multifunctional and serves its purpose well, and the costumes are gorgeous. The orchestra sounds great too, although a little loud at times. The bass player helped the conductor keep the cast with the orchestra when at times the cast can't see the conductor by keeping a steady and well defined beat. The lighting is very well done and sets the mood for every scene. I really enjoyed Parade, and I will probably go see it again, as I have a tendency to go see good productions at least twice. The final minutes of the show are too emotionally ripping to explain, but it includes a lonely parade of one at the end. A grieving and lonely woman who must live while under the constant watch of her peers, acting as spectators at a parade, wondering what they will see next. Leaving Lucille always wondering what life would have been like if justice had truly been served.

The final minutes of the show are too emotionally ripping to explain, but it includes a lonely parade of one at the end. A grieving and lonely woman who must live while under the constant watch of her peers, acting as spectators at a parade, wondering what they will see next. Leaving Lucille always wondering what life would have been like if justice had truly been served.

SUMMIT, BECK?S PARADE, RADIO SHOW Roy Berko --The Times Newspapers-- A MESSAGE FOR CPH AND GLFT: IF YOU WANT TO SURVIVE TRY THIS! In the September 27 edition of the Cleveland Plain Dealer Tony Brown, the paper?s Theatre Reviewer, wrote a commentary entitled, ?To Survive Local Theater Must Touch Clevelanders.? It is a well-reasoned piece. He discusses the rumored merger of The Cleveland Play House and the Great Lakes Theater Festival. He indicates that for practical purposes the two theatres have ?ceased to be relevant?in the plays they produce, in the way they are produced and in the way they are sold to the public?to the lives of Clevelanders.? I?d like to wade in on one of these issues?the way the plays are produced. How can people in Cleveland feel any loyalty to a theatre when few locals are included in the staging of shows? Locals who actually call Cleveland home, whom we?ve seen on our stages, or who have directed local shows. People we ?know.? For many years CPH was noted for its resident company. Okay, it did become insular, but that is a situation that is easily altered?change some people each year when necessary. Instead, the baby was tossed out with the bathwater. ?Bring in new people for each production? was the new policy. You don?t see that happening with the Cleveland Orchestra. When you go to Dobama, Beck Center, or Ensemble Theatre you see people on stage who you can associate with, who appear regularly in those venues. Former Cleveland San Jose Ballet company members Karen Gabay and Raymond Rodriguez came ?home? this summer to stage several ballets. They have a loyal following from being our prince and princess of local dance. That following showed up in mass numbers because ?our? Karen and Raymond were performing. These weren?t dancers who were shipped in from whereever for a show. They were ?ours.? When someone goes to a CPH or GLTF show they generally have no idea of who will appear. More often than not, these performers have been chosen by a casting company from far away places. The audience doesn?t know these people. But, we do know that they will be gone as soon as the run is over. They have no loyalty to Cleveland, we have no loyalty to them. It?s one of the problems being faced this year by the Cleveland Indians. Who are those guys who are playing with Chief Wahoo on their hats? Fans stopped coming because ?their? players were traded away, gone. Who were those guys pretending to be locals? Why should I go see them? If fan favorite Jim Thome isn?t signed for next year, watch the loyal fans desert even more. You can?t build loyalty with gypsies. They come and are soon gone. I do get excited when Andrew May is going to appear at CPH. Andrew we?ve seen often and know he?s going to give us a great performance. He has ties to Cleveland. He went away, but soon realized that he belonged here and came back. We appreciate that. We feel close to Andrew. CPH needs more Andrew Mays. GLTF needs some Andrew Mays. Am I proposing CPH and/or GLTF develop resident companies? Maybe not, but, at least consider employing local artists and directors on a regular enough basis so that we can go to the theatre to see ?our? people. It will build fan loyalty. We care about these people because we know them, we have empathy with them. Research in organizational psychology reveals that people care about organizations because they feel part of them, because they can intimately identify with them. If we don?t have loyalty we abandon the group. We?ve already had enough organizations flee Cleveland, both businesses and artistic associations. We are capable of supporting two professional theatre companies. We?ve done it in the past, we can do it in the future. But we need to have a reason. Please, Cleveland Play House and Great Lakes Theatre Festival, give us reasons! A GRAND NIGHT FOR SINGING A PLEASANT EXPERIENCE AT ACTORS? SUMMIT Hudson?s Actors? Summit has announced that it is extending its run of A GRAND NIGHT FOR SINGING through October 6. And, why not? What can make for a more pleasant evening of theatre than sitting in a comfortable, well-designed theatre and listening to Rogers and Hammerstein songs? Musical director Marc Baker and director Neil Thackaberry have assembled a competent group to perform songs the likes of ?The Surrey With the Fringe on Top,? ?We Kiss in a Shadow,? ?A Wonderful Guy,? ?Maria,? ?and ?Don?t Marry Me.? These are winners from OKLAHOMA, THE KING AND I, SOUTH PACIFIC, SOUND OF MUSIC and FLOWER DRUM SONG. The cast is quite competent. They each have at least one song that commands the spotlight. Mary Jo Alexander is delightful in ?Stepsisters? Lament? from CINDERELLA. Wayne Turney does a wonderful rendition of ?Love, Look Away.? And, it?s worth going to the show just to see Turney in drag during ?Honey Bun.? It?s impossible not to smile all the way through Maryann Nagel?s ?I?m Just a Girl Who Can?t Say No.? Greg Violand, who has the most professional voice of the ensemble, uses it well in ?We Kiss In a Shadow? and ?This Nearly Was Mine.? The audience went out humming STATE FAIR?S ?It?s a Grand Night For Singing,? the musical curtain call. What a nice way to start a season. PARADE OUTSTANDING AND ASTOUNDING AT BECK CENTER Beck Center has come of age! This summer they staged a near-perfect SMOKEY JOE?S CAF?. At the time I said that it was the best thing I?ve ever seen on their stage. Then, they turn around and make me into a liar. Their staging of PARADE surpassed even SMOKEY JOE. To use words like outstanding and astounding are understatements. Beck?s PARADE is everything that local theatre should be. It is a well conceived, well acted, well directed, dramatically and musically polished performance. WOW! HEAR A DISCUSSION ABOUT ENTERTAINMENT ON WERE Interested in entertainment? Before she retired from the Cleveland Plain Dealer Maryann Evert said that what the area needed was a media outlet for discussions of the arts. That outlet is available. Listen to WERE-AM (1300) on Fridays from 1 to 2 and experience CLEVELAND ACTION LIVE. It?s an interesting blend of is information and discussions about local entertainment ranging from theatre to dance to music to film. Incidentally, I?m the show?s drama critic. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

Executive Director James Levin and Artistic Director Randy Rollison are proud to announce the World Premiere of Blue Sky Transmission: A Tibetan Book of the Dead will be extended to include a special benefit performance on Sunday, October 6, 2002. Now one of Cleveland Public Theatre? s most successful box office and artistic successes, Blue Sky Transmission: A Tibetan Book of the Dead has played to sold out houses and strong advanced sales throughout its four-week run. The benefit performance tickets cost $30.00 each and will assist in the transportation of the production to New York City?s La MaMa Theatre in December. Tickets are still available for the final weekend run of the production. For more box office information, please call 216.631.2727. The production is a world premiere, inspired and evoked by The Tibetan Book of The Dead, a sacred text of Tibetan Buddhists. The book is traditionally read at the time of one?s death by a spiritual teacher and serves as a guide through the ?in-between-places? or Bardo, connecting death and rebirth. Blue Sky Transmission: A Tibetan Book of the Dead reveals the thematic structure of the book by telling the story of Allison, a lawyer and mother, whose overwhelming ?to do? list will never be completed due to an inconvenient interruption?her own death. After a dramatic transition, Allison finds herself in a psychedelic world of mystical images and haunting songs both familiar and strange. Guided by a mysterious escort who interprets the words of the book along her journey, she is confronted by a stream of choices that brings her face to face with the nature of her life, past and future. Cleveland Public Theatre?s presentation of Blue Sky Transmission will not be a literal adaptation of The Tibetan Book of the Dead; rather, a ?Western? exploration of Eastern concepts of death through the eyes, ears, and mind of this contemporary American woman. ?This is, by far, the most ambitious production undertaken by CPT in its history,? says Executive Director James Levin. The participation of the project?s leading collaborators, director Raymond Bobgan and composer Halim El-Dabh, is funded by the prestigious National Theatre Artist Residency Program grant of $100,000. Developed by Theater Communications Group and the Pew Charitable Trusts and fully funded by the Trusts, this grant is an unprecedented effort to foster artistic partnerships between theatre artists and theatre companies. Cleveland Public Theatre is one of only fifteen leading American theatre companies selected to receive this grant. Resident Director, Raymond Bobgan (Artistic Director of Wishhounds, a Cleveland based experimental theatre ensemble) and international composer Halim El-Dabh have been in residency at Cleveland Public Theatre for the past season researching and preparing for this unique production. El-Dabh will create the intricate original score for the production. El-Dabh has collaborated closely with Martha Graham, John Cage and Leonard Bernstein and composed the score ?Sound and Lights of the Pyramids of Giza? which has played daily at the site of the Great Pyramid in Egypt since 1961. Rehearsals for Blue Sky Transmission: A Tibetan Book of the Dead began on June 4, 2002 with an international ensemble of sixteen artists (see biographies). The cast includes Cleveland based actors as well as performers from New York City, Los Angeles and Toronto. The production team consists of New York Costume Designer Karen Young, CPT Resident Lighting Designer Trad A Burns, and from Trinidad, Set Designer Michael Guy James whose work has been featured in the Cleveland Museum of Art?s Parade The Circle. Contributing to the original script are three local writers: playwright Mike Geither, and poet Patricia Harusame Leebove and National Poetry Slam Champion, Ray McNiece. The design and artistic team will collaborate over a four-month development and rehearsal period. After receiving its world premiere in Cleveland, Blue Sky Transmission: A Tibetan Book of the Dead is scheduled to run for four weeks at New York City ?s experimental theatre, La Mama Theatre, ETC. This partnership is an especially poignant homecoming for Executive Director James Levin who began his theatrical career as a company member and prot?g? of Ellen Stewart at La Mama in 1979. Since its founding, Cleveland Public Theatre has modeled itself after La Mama?s dedication to social justice issues and innovative, cutting edge live performance. As a companion to this production, Cleveland Public Theatre will offer a series of lectures, forums and discussions centered around the concepts of dying, death and the afterlife. These events will examine death from many different perspectives: spiritual, emotional, literary and artistic. These discussions will include a Comparative Religion panel with representatives from several major religions in the Cleveland area discussing individual religious beliefs on death and the afterlife, and how those beliefs help inform each religion?s tenets for living a good life; A forum featuring several hospice care workers will examine preparation of the terminally ill for death, and what lessons are to be learned from the dying; An open book discussion of the Bardo Thodol, more commonly known as The Tibetan Book of the Dead will be held at a local independently owned bookstore; Finally, a Japanese film that imagines an alternate view of the afterlife will be presented by Cleveland Film Works at Cleveland Public Theatre sometime in August. All forums, panels and discussions are free and open to the general public. Times and dates for these events are to be announced in August. For more information, please call 216.631.2727. The mission of Cleveland Public Theatre is to inspire, nurture, challenge, amaze, educate and empower artists and audiences, in order to make the Cleveland Public a more conscious and compassionate community. ------=_NextPart_000_01DE_01C264A7.0C8EDB00 Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

We're going to be doing it in two parts - First, we're going to have a segment on the show where we'll be doing the auditions for the announcer position "live" on the show. This is meant to be humorous and we'll probably instruct the actors to read the announcer script in a funny way. Some people we'll have audition "live" on the show. The idea for the segment is, basically, that all the people auditioning suck. Now, in reality, we ARE auditioning for a new announcer to read the opening credits for our show, banter with the host and co-host in the first segment of each show, and sometimes participate in skits. So, any actors who want to just be in the skit, please contact our associate producer Mikki at mouse595 at aol.com. We'll be taping the skit at Adelphia's studios in Brook Park on Thursday, October 3 from about 8 p.m. till 10 p.m. If you also are interested in being our permanent announcer, also e-mail Mikki for that same time and date. Just let her know you're interested in auditioning for real, not just being a part of the skit. The Jeremy Borger Show tapes every other Thursday night, from 7 p.m. till 10 p.m. This is a NON UNION and UNPAID position. Visit www.jeremyborger.com for more information on the show.

BECK CENTER TAKES ON ALFRED UHRY'S = CHALLENGING PARADE
 
PARADE
Through Oct. = 6
Beck Center
17801 Detroit Ave., = Lakewood
Thur-Sat 8 pm, Sun 3 = pm
$10-$19 = =95 216-521-2540

With its splendid production of the = demanding musical Parade, the once stodgy and dismissible Beck Center = has scaled yet another level in its continuing rise as the area's = nerviest, most exciting and vital theater. While it's one thing to = bravely program such a daunting and complex piece, it's another, = worlds-apart matter to actually bring it off. Led by director Scott = Spence, however, Beck manages the feat with plenty of artistic merit to = spare.

Perhaps the finest serious musical of = the decade, Jason Robert Brown and Alfred Uhry's Parade has had a = troubled and tortured history. Its New York run was undeservedly cut = short by a negative New York Times review and the producer's bankruptcy. = An estimable touring edition, which played the Palace in the fall of = 2000, was abruptly terminated after a couple of canceled bookings for = lack of advance ticket sales. It may be that the light-hearted shy away = from the show's sober subject, but the piece is anything but dour and = gloomy. Stirring and ultimately uplifting in its compassionate humanity, = the work's skilled melding of words and music radiantly reaffirms that = the American musical form is capable of housing the most searching and = profound artistic expression.

Parade deals with the railroading and = eventual mob-lynching of Leo Frank for the 1913 Atlanta murder of = 13-year-old Mary Phagan. The girl's boss, Frank was the last person who = admitted seeing her alive. His only crime, however, was being a Yankee = Jew in a racially prejudiced South still seething with Civil War = humiliation.

The show's multi-scened book, by noted = playwright Uhry (Driving Miss Daisy), telescopes the two-year struggle = for justice by Frank and his wife, Lucille, in a smoothly = impressionistic style. We get flashes of the Franks' sterile marriage; = the discovery of Phagan's murder on the day of the jingoistic = Confederate Veterans' annual parade; the buildup of the case against = Frank by the prejudicial press, public and corrupt officials; the = railroading trial; the lengthy legal battle by the couple to overturn = the guilty verdict, during which they fall genuinely in love; and, = finally, Frank's murder. Occasionally given to stereotyping, Uhry more = often displays a penetrating ability to evoke the emotional truths of = these characters and situations, and to accumulate them to trenchant = effect.

It's Brown's resplendently expressive = score, though, that anchors the evening. Employing a collage of musical = forms -- ragtime, jazz, hymns, sentimental ballads -- the composer = imbues them with a modern sensibility, fertile inventiveness and a = contagious gift for melody, all of which fuse seamlessly with and exalt = the tragic narrative.

In perhaps his best effort to date, = director Spence exerts an impressive control over the piece's many = complexities and a large cast of 32. While never pushing, he keeps the = evening consistently animated and the focus squarely on the story and = its human quotient. Spence is greatly aided in the endeavor by an = outstanding performance from Keith Gerchak as Frank. Beginning unsympathetically as a cold, caustic nerd, = the actor slowly blossoms -- especially through some forcefully sung = numbers -- into something like a mensch as both his love for his wife and = his calamity deepen. Physically unprepossessing, the actor is simply a = powerhouse when it comes to conveying both musical and character = conviction.

As Lucille, Sandra = Emrick is, once again, a vibrant presence. Though she has a tendency to = blast through every song, the voice is always firm, melodious and = appealing. Kyle Primous is simultaneously silky and slimy in two = show-stopping numbers as Phagan's most likely real killer; Robert Gibb = generates much empathy as the brave Georgia governor who finally does = the right thing; Brian Etchell makes a believably devious D.A.; G.A. = Taggett is a despicable racist newspaper editor; Hannah DelMonte = a saucy Mary Phagan; Patrick Carroll a = kindly prison guard; and Ryan Bergeron ringingly delivers the perversely = beautiful Confederate hymn, "The Old Red Hills of = Home."

For that matter, the whole of the = sundry cast is commendable, Don McBride's settings spare but = appropriate, Aly Hernan's myriad costumes spot-on, Larry Goodpaster's = musical direction of an enlarged, 18-piece orchestra invigorating, and = the entire occasion a cause for celebration, if not a parade all its = own.

From emadden at kent.edu Thu Sep 26 14:36:13 2002 From: emadden at kent.edu (emadden) Date: Thu Sep 26 14:36:13 2002 Subject: [NEohioPAL]FLORIDA BALLET to perform for free at Kent State Message-ID: <3D979CF6@webmail.kent.edu> FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE THE THOMAS SCHROTH VISITING ARTIST SERIES PRESENTS BALLET FLORIDA Ballet Florida presents a free concert at Kent State University Kent, OH =96 Ballet Florida will perform a free concert at Kent State University as a part of the Thomas Schroth Visiting Artist Series. Founded more than twenty years ago by artistic visionary Marie Hale, Ballet Florida consistently earns national recognition for its work in dance and education. Ballet Florida will perform Monday, November 25 at 8:00 PM in the E. Turner Stump Theatre of the Music & Speech Center at Kent State University=92s Main Campus. =93From pointe shoes to Reeboks, Ballet Florida has something for everyone.=94 - The Times Picayune New Orleans Ballet Florida will be performing four selections from their extensive repertory on November 25th. LENTO A TEMPO E APPASSIONATO=09 is choreographed by Vicente Nebrada and performed to music by Scriabin. Following the development of a relationship between two lovers, this elegant pas de deux begins slowly and then explodes with passion in its dynamic conclusion. Performed with a live piano accompanist on stage, it is a work that is sure to please any audience. READ MY HIPS, choreographed by Daniel Ezralow with music by Michel Colombier is a fast paced full company work that explodes off the stage and confronts the audience in their seats. Packed with pounding rhythms and thrilling visual dynamics, this bravura work does for dance what MTV does for music. Choreographed by William Forsythe, STEPTEXT, is performed to the music of J. S. Bach. Few choreographers can claim to have captured the spirit of 20th century ballet as much as William Forsythe. Disjointed, challenging movement motifs are accented by an abridged treatment of the Bach score. This work is a technical masterpiece, demanding full quality pointe work and strength. Intimate and involving, this fascinating ballet is a sure indication of the future of Ballet. THE ENVELOPE, the signature work from the exciting choreographer David Parsons, performed to music by Rossini, is witty and sophisticated. A group of dancers attempt first to find out the contents of a mysterious envelope, then with equal manic vigor, attempt to discard it. Entertaining and yet still formal in its construction, this is a popular dance work all over the world. Founded more than twenty years ago by artistic visionary Marie Hale, Ballet Florida consistently earns national recognition for its work in dance and education. Incorporated as Ballet Arts Foundation in 1973, the company began as a dance school and formed its professional company in 1986. Over the past 11 years, Ballet Florida has earned the distinction of being one of the fastest growing dance companies in America, one of the top 20 dance companies in the nation. Ballet Florida is one of the few dance companies in the country that performs such a diverse and eclectic repertory. The exceptional talent of its 21 professional dancers and the artistic integrity of Marie Hale continually attract renowned choreographers to Palm Beach County to work with the company. New works by great artists such as George Balanchine, Peter Martins, Alvin Ailey, Vicente Nebrada, Val Caniparoli, and Mauricio Wainrot are regularly and frequently added to the repertory. Thomas Schroth (1922-1997) was born in Niles, Ohio and spent his life in that community as a professional architect. A world cultural traveler, he personified the interrelatedness of human expression and human progress. The Thomas Schroth Visiting Artist Series is devoted to exploring that relationship. The Thomas Schroth Visiting Artist Series has been made possible by a generous gift from David "Max" and Cecile "Cil" Draime in memory of their dear friend, Tom Schroth. This performance is free and open to the public as a part of the Thomas Schroth Visiting Artist Series. Ballet Florida will perform at 8:00 PM in the E. Turner Stump Theatre of the Music & Speech Building on the Main Kent State University Campus. For pictures of Ballet Florida please email bhilger at kent.edu.

Yes, there are some difficulties understanding all of the words at times due to microphone errors, but those soon become unnoticeable as the story takes hold of you. The performances in this production are so focused that you don't have to hear the words come of the actor's mouth's, you can understand them by their expression and demeanor. Keith Gerchak portrays the role of Leo Frank, the Jewish man accused by his "peers" (please note the parentheses) of murdering a young child. He plays the role with ease, and watching the transformation he goes through is something you only hope to see in theatre. He also has a wonderful singing voice, and he gives the role the respect that it deserves. More singing praises go to Sandra Emerick, who plays the role of Lucille, Leo's wife. She plays opposite against Gerchak's icy-to-begin with Leo. She is the woman who wants to help her husband but is told to stay in the kitchen. She finally convinces Leo that he has to listen to her and allow her to help if he wants to be freed. Gerchak and Emerick balance each other out nicely, at the beginning he is cold and aloof, but she is warm and inviting. As he begins to allow her into his inner world even more, they begin to even out and understand each other better. The ensemble is........wow. Let's just say that they all complement each other well, and can strongly sing Jason Robert Brown's emotional score. Everyone does something in this ensemble, and it sends shivers up my spine now as I think of them in the court room, and the ending sequence. A group of good singers and actors. The end of the first act is wrenching as you see the trial of Leo Frank, and the audacity of his lawyer (aptly played by Jim McCormack) to sit and watch the sham of a trial. If AND WHEN you see this production, the second act, and especially the end of the act WILL haunt you. Numbers like Where Will You Stand When the Flood Comes? puts the question directly in your face. What would you do? Would you willingly sentence a man to death for the murder of a girl based on purely on speculation and not fact? Well, you may say "No I would not stand for or tolerate that.", but unfortunately this IS a true story, and I'm positive that the people involved with it would have said the same thing as you prior to the incident. "I will not tolerate for injustice, I will seek the truth." Except what we mean is that we want the truth, but sugar coated, and laced with happy endings, and if we can't have that, we change it to meet our needs. Sorry, life doesn't work that way. Despite minor amplification problems, Parade turns out to be a stunning and chilling piece of theatre. The slow building of a hangman's platform onstage during bright and painfully happy musical scenes sets the true undertone for the second act. The set is multifunctional and serves its purpose well, and the costumes are gorgeous. The orchestra sounds great too, although a little loud at times. The bass player helped the conductor keep the cast with the orchestra when at times the cast can't see the conductor by keeping a steady and well defined beat. The lighting is very well done and sets the mood for every scene. I really enjoyed Parade, and I will probably go see it again, as I have a tendency to go see good productions at least twice. The final minutes of the show are too emotionally ripping to explain, but it includes a lonely parade of one at the end. A grieving and lonely woman who must live while under the constant watch of her peers, acting as spectators at a parade, wondering what they will see next. Leaving Lucille always wondering what life would have been like if justice had truly been served.

The latest installment of the Everts' exposition of Latino culture is an idea whose time has come (read the census figures). Simply look around - the old monocultural Midwest is gone. There's a need for the explanation and interpretation of cultures to one another. That's a job for artists. " Cleveland Freetimes ~~~~~~~ "Part of the fascination of the program lay in the contrasting but equally charismatic qualities of the Everts. Their choreography breathes quiet ecstasy and eroticism. The Everts' understated devotion may have helped make the dances that "something," work created and performed for a larger purpose than the self. May they soon return" THE NEW YORK TIMES...

SUMMIT, BECK?S PARADE, RADIO SHOW Roy Berko --The Times Newspapers-- A MESSAGE FOR CPH AND GLFT: IF YOU WANT TO SURVIVE TRY THIS! In the September 27 edition of the Cleveland Plain Dealer Tony Brown, the paper?s Theatre Reviewer, wrote a commentary entitled, ?To Survive Local Theater Must Touch Clevelanders.? It is a well-reasoned piece. He discusses the rumored merger of The Cleveland Play House and the Great Lakes Theater Festival. He indicates that for practical purposes the two theatres have ?ceased to be relevant?in the plays they produce, in the way they are produced and in the way they are sold to the public?to the lives of Clevelanders.? I?d like to wade in on one of these issues?the way the plays are produced. How can people in Cleveland feel any loyalty to a theatre when few locals are included in the staging of shows? Locals who actually call Cleveland home, whom we?ve seen on our stages, or who have directed local shows. People we ?know.? For many years CPH was noted for its resident company. Okay, it did become insular, but that is a situation that is easily altered?change some people each year when necessary. Instead, the baby was tossed out with the bathwater. ?Bring in new people for each production? was the new policy. You don?t see that happening with the Cleveland Orchestra. When you go to Dobama, Beck Center, or Ensemble Theatre you see people on stage who you can associate with, who appear regularly in those venues. Former Cleveland San Jose Ballet company members Karen Gabay and Raymond Rodriguez came ?home? this summer to stage several ballets. They have a loyal following from being our prince and princess of local dance. That following showed up in mass numbers because ?our? Karen and Raymond were performing. These weren?t dancers who were shipped in from whereever for a show. They were ?ours.? When someone goes to a CPH or GLTF show they generally have no idea of who will appear. More often than not, these performers have been chosen by a casting company from far away places. The audience doesn?t know these people. But, we do know that they will be gone as soon as the run is over. They have no loyalty to Cleveland, we have no loyalty to them. It?s one of the problems being faced this year by the Cleveland Indians. Who are those guys who are playing with Chief Wahoo on their hats? Fans stopped coming because ?their? players were traded away, gone. Who were those guys pretending to be locals? Why should I go see them? If fan favorite Jim Thome isn?t signed for next year, watch the loyal fans desert even more. You can?t build loyalty with gypsies. They come and are soon gone. I do get excited when Andrew May is going to appear at CPH. Andrew we?ve seen often and know he?s going to give us a great performance. He has ties to Cleveland. He went away, but soon realized that he belonged here and came back. We appreciate that. We feel close to Andrew. CPH needs more Andrew Mays. GLTF needs some Andrew Mays. Am I proposing CPH and/or GLTF develop resident companies? Maybe not, but, at least consider employing local artists and directors on a regular enough basis so that we can go to the theatre to see ?our? people. It will build fan loyalty. We care about these people because we know them, we have empathy with them. Research in organizational psychology reveals that people care about organizations because they feel part of them, because they can intimately identify with them. If we don?t have loyalty we abandon the group. We?ve already had enough organizations flee Cleveland, both businesses and artistic associations. We are capable of supporting two professional theatre companies. We?ve done it in the past, we can do it in the future. But we need to have a reason. Please, Cleveland Play House and Great Lakes Theatre Festival, give us reasons! A GRAND NIGHT FOR SINGING A PLEASANT EXPERIENCE AT ACTORS? SUMMIT Hudson?s Actors? Summit has announced that it is extending its run of A GRAND NIGHT FOR SINGING through October 6. And, why not? What can make for a more pleasant evening of theatre than sitting in a comfortable, well-designed theatre and listening to Rogers and Hammerstein songs? Musical director Marc Baker and director Neil Thackaberry have assembled a competent group to perform songs the likes of ?The Surrey With the Fringe on Top,? ?We Kiss in a Shadow,? ?A Wonderful Guy,? ?Maria,? ?and ?Don?t Marry Me.? These are winners from OKLAHOMA, THE KING AND I, SOUTH PACIFIC, SOUND OF MUSIC and FLOWER DRUM SONG. The cast is quite competent. They each have at least one song that commands the spotlight. Mary Jo Alexander is delightful in ?Stepsisters? Lament? from CINDERELLA. Wayne Turney does a wonderful rendition of ?Love, Look Away.? And, it?s worth going to the show just to see Turney in drag during ?Honey Bun.? It?s impossible not to smile all the way through Maryann Nagel?s ?I?m Just a Girl Who Can?t Say No.? Greg Violand, who has the most professional voice of the ensemble, uses it well in ?We Kiss In a Shadow? and ?This Nearly Was Mine.? The audience went out humming STATE FAIR?S ?It?s a Grand Night For Singing,? the musical curtain call. What a nice way to start a season. PARADE OUTSTANDING AND ASTOUNDING AT BECK CENTER Beck Center has come of age! This summer they staged a near-perfect SMOKEY JOE?S CAF?. At the time I said that it was the best thing I?ve ever seen on their stage. Then, they turn around and make me into a liar. Their staging of PARADE surpassed even SMOKEY JOE. To use words like outstanding and astounding are understatements. Beck?s PARADE is everything that local theatre should be. It is a well conceived, well acted, well directed, dramatically and musically polished performance. WOW! HEAR A DISCUSSION ABOUT ENTERTAINMENT ON WERE Interested in entertainment? Before she retired from the Cleveland Plain Dealer Maryann Evert said that what the area needed was a media outlet for discussions of the arts. That outlet is available. Listen to WERE-AM (1300) on Fridays from 1 to 2 and experience CLEVELAND ACTION LIVE. It?s an interesting blend of is information and discussions about local entertainment ranging from theatre to dance to music to film. Incidentally, I?m the show?s drama critic. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
