The Meeting will be held at Harold Hafner Model & Talent Photography at 1667 East 40th St., Studio 2D in downtown Cleveland. While this is the "Last Network Meeting," this is not the last Indie Cleveland event. The group is dedicated to making Cleveland a movie community and is focusing on independents making movies here. Indie Cleveland is free to join and offers a Yahoo! group where members can post info, photos, bios, links, and even movie files. Indie Cleveland does have a number of modestly priced programs: including an upcoming Workshop that will be taught by award winning professionals who are actually making movies here. The Workshop starts at the end of March, and space is limited. Students can sign up on the web. The Workshop costs $150 and will feature courses in acting, cinematography, directing and screenwriting. All details are at www.indiecleveland.com. The "Last Networking Meeting" is open to all who are interested in Cleveland becoming a movie community. It is an open forum where anyone can discuss what they think the city needs to support indie filmmakers. Remember: if indie filmmakers have budgets, then they can pay actors and crew. Which is why there is a focus on filmmakers, but all are welcome to attend: actors, directors, writers, those in theater. Indie Cleveland welcomes all. We look forward to seeing you Wednesday, February 26th at 7pm at Harold Hafner Model & Talent Photography at 1667 East 40th St., Studio 2D in downtown Cleveland.

Through this ancient Greek comedy, performers intend to provide a humorous entree into a healthy community dialogue about the world today. That?s what theaters do. Aristophanes' Lysistrata tells the story of women from opposing states who unite to end a war, taking over the treasury and pressuring their husbands to negotiate peace by refusing to sleep with them until the men agree to lay down their swords. Written 2,400 years ago, Aristophanes' words can still make us laugh and remind us that there are alternatives to war. Cleveland readings (except where noted, all readings are at 8:00 on Monday March 3, 2003) are offered free to the public: * Pilgrim Congregational Church (West 14th Street and Starkweather Avenue in Tremont), sponsored by Bodwin Theatre Company; * Community College's Eastern Campus (in the 2nd floor plaza area of building E3, located off of Richmond Road near Harvard Road). This reading will be offered on March 3rd at 1:00 pm., sponsored by the Women's Collective at the Eastern Campus; * Ensemble Theatre Lee Road and Mayfield Road in Cleveland Heights, sponsored by StageWrites Collective. The Cleveland performers join theaters in every state of the nation, as well as theaters in London, Berlin, Paris, Beirut, Jerusalem and other cities in a call for peaceful resolution. In New York City, where the project originated, dozens of teams of actors and directors will read Lysistrata in public spaces throughout the day, concluding with an all-star reading, scheduled to include Mercedes Ruehl in the title role, with F. Murray Abraham, Kevin Bacon, Peter Boyle Kathleen Chalfont, Delphi Harrington, Kyra Sedgwick and others will also participate. A Los Angeles production will feature Julie Christie, Alfre Woodard, Christine Lahti, Mary McDonnell, Barbara Williams, Eric Stoltz, Ed Begley Jr. and Jose Zuniga. Theaters are joining the project and the total number of participants may increase. The Lysistrata Project was conceived in early January of this year by New York actors Kathryn Blume and Sharron Bower. Go To the Theater. Make a Statement For Peace. Think Globally, Act Locally!

Broadway Beat: "With its camp characterizations and keen dialogue, BAT BOY provides lighthearted entertainment on the surface with a subtle subtext you can really sink your teeth into." Think LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS and ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW. You first read about the half-bat/half-boy while standing in line at the grocery store ("Bat Child Found in Cave," June 23, 1992 Weekly World News). So did writers Farley, Flemming and O'Keefe who were so inspired by these sensationalist tabloid "reports," they crafted an irreverent theatrical retelling. BAT BOY: THE MUSICAL ran Off Broadway for nine months in 2001 and won the triple crown of awards for "Best Off-Broadway Musical" -- Lucille Lortel Award, Outer Critics Circle Award, and Drama Desk Award. No style of music -- pop, gospel, rock, country, rap, tango, showtunes -- was safe from being skewered in a show that composer Laurence O'Keefe wrote especially "for people who hate musicals." But beneath the catchy pop-rock score, camp exterior and biting parody, BAT BOY: THE MUSICAL harbors a heartfelt message of tolerance and acceptance of those who are different than us.

Based on the book of essays edited by Ophira Edut, BODY OUTLAWS addresses the personal and social perceptions of body image through the funny and provocative stories of real women -- fat & small, black & white, straight & queer, athletic & disabled. Essay titles include My Brown Face; Fishnets, Feather Boas and Fat; The Skinny on Small; Memoirs of a (Sorta) Ex-Shaver; and Klaus Barbie and Other Dolls I'd Like to See. Red Hen Productions performed these monologues in a staged reading at Loganberry Books in August 2001 and took BODY OUTLAWS to Lakeland Community College for Women's Health Month in September 2002. But this next production at Spaces Art Gallery isn't BODY OUTLAWS redux. It is instead an exciting project in progress: Red Hen has collaborated with Ophira Edut to develop and premiere the first-ever fully-dramatized version of her book. The BODY OUTLAWS cast includes return outlaw-actors Denise Astorino and Tina Thompkins. Red Hen is also pleased to welcome back Rose Leininger and Cat Kenney, who starred in Waving Goodbye last fall. Rounding out this talented cast is Jazmin Corona, making her Red Hen debut. Director Karen Gygli's past directorial credits for Red Hen include both staged readings of BODY OUTLAWS, Eight Impressions of a Lunatic and The Clue in the Old Birdbath. BODY OUTLAWS editor Ophira Edut is a contributing editor to Ms. Magazine and the founding publisher of HUES (Hear Us Emerging Sisters), an award-winning national magazine for young women. She has been featured in numerous anthologies and magazines and lectures nationwide about body image, media, culture and gender. Performances are scheduled for Thursday through Saturday evenings at 8 p.m., March 6-29 at Spaces Art Gallery. Preview performance (with half-price admission) is on Thursday, March 6, with opening night on Friday, March 7. Tickets are $12, and $8 for students and seniors.

Push the envelope with ?Women Behind Bars? at Players Guild By Dan Kane Repository entertainment writer ?Women Behind Bars? WHEN: At 8 p.m. today, Saturday and Feb. 28 and March 1. WHERE: Players Guild Arena Theatre, Cultural Center for the Arts, 1001 Market Ave. N. TICKETS: $10, sold at the door only. NOTE: Due to profanity and sexual content, the play is recommended for adults. As campy as it is crude, ?Women Behind Bars? pulls no punches, but it throws a few. An adults-only comedy opening tonight in the Players Guild Arena Theatre, ?Women Behind Bars? is a hard-boiled parody of such 1950s B movies as ?Caged? and ?Reform School Girls.? The setting is the Women?s House of Detention in Greenwich Village, circa 1952. The prisoners are a colorful and combative lot. The Southern belle named Blanche is doing time for ?sodomy and shoplifting.? Silver-haired Granny was imprisoned for manslaughter ? ?nine times!? Cherry was sent up the river for ?peddling without a bicycle.? At a peak moment, the toughest of these broads, Gloria, brandishes a switchblade and intones, ?There are no pardons in the House of the Damned!? ?People who are easily offended should stay away,? director Carla Derr says with a chuckle. ?We have edited nothing. All the language and sexual innuendo have stayed put.? ?It?s an incredibly irreverent farce,? says Margene Rannigan, who plays Gloria. ?And it?s an equal-opportunity offender. We ?ve got something in there to (tick) everybody off.? The play is typical fare for director Derr. It has a female focus, a low budget and it provokes. It also features actresses Jodi Wilson and Pat Burns Paulus, who have been mainstays in Derr?s productions for two decades. ?I?ve never had a show like this, where I can?t wait to get here every night,? she says of her rowdy gang of ?Women Behind Bars? inmates. ?These women are so dedicated. They take every pratfall even at rehearsal.? ?Women Behind Bars? is a far cry from the first play Derr directed, a fluffy comedy titled ?Take Her, She?s Mine,? at Jackson High School her senior year. ?We weren?t allowed to use the word ?virgin? onstage,? she remembers with amusement. For about 20 years, Derr has made it her business to get risky and often new material onstage in Stark County. At the North Canton Playhouse in the early ?80s, she directed offbeat, off-Broadway fare like ?Come Back to the 5 and Dime, Jimmy Dean, Jimmy Dean? and ?A Coupla White Chicks Sitting Around Talking.? She directed shows in the Players Guild Arena. Frustrated by what she viewed as the conservatism of community theater, Derr decided to open a place her own. From 1985-90, she owned and operated the Contract Players Theatre, housed in a converted house on Wales Avenue NW, just north of Portage Street, in Jackson Township. ?It was really a lark,? Derr, 49, recalls fondly. ?I had just enough money in my savings account to buy that little house.? Low on budget and high on ambition, the Contract Players presented seasons filled with innovative, if sometimes uneven, theater. There were issue plays about rape and battered women and Vietnam vets. There were musicals: ?Leader of the Pack,? ?Hair? and ?Rock Carol.? One of the biggest crowd-pullers was ?Bent,? a drama about gay prisoners at a Nazi concentration camp. The theater quickly gained a reputation for presenting new and untested plays. Some received their world premieres in the converted theater, which had been a living room. ?One year, we had over 1,200 scripts sent to us. The postman would bring at least 10 a day,? Derr remembers. ?Playwrights are desperate to get their work produced.? On Dec. 31, 1990, a fire believed to be arson destroyed the Contract Players Theatre. A disheartened Derr then staged a few shows under the Contract Players name at locales in downtown Massillon and downtown Canton. But she quickly tired of creating theater spaces instead of productions. Fortunately, Derr has returned to the Players Guild?s Arena Theatre. She directed ?How I Learned to Drive? there in 2001, and now ?Women Behind Bars.? She?ll next direct the Guild musical ?Personals,? opening in May. ?I just love this space,? Derr says about the intimate Arena. ?Plus, it?s nice not having to pay all the bills myself.? Since 1995, Derr also has been the drama teacher at GlenOak High School. And she is vice president of the Players Guild ?s board. Asked about her approach to directing plays, Derr says, ?I ?m not really a director, I?m a facilitator. ?Everybody brings in pieces of themselves.? ?She?s all right,? Wilson deadpans, when asked about her longtime friend and frequent director Derr. Then she laughs. ?She?s my friend and it?s fun to do things with your friends,? Wilson says. ?My God, we must have done 15 or 20 shows together. When you work with somebody that long, you can anticipate and help each other out. You just understand.? ?Carla will pretty much let you make your own decisions and have the freedom to try stuff,? Rannigan says. ?Only if it?s not working will she step in and tweak things.? Interestingly, Derr claims she has never sat in the theater and watched one of her shows after it opened. ?I love the rehearsal process so much. I could be in rehearsal forever and never open and be very happy,? she says. ?Final dress (rehearsal) is always sad to me because you know that the show is out of your hands.? ------=_NextPart_000_0033_01C2DD0A.A781AC60 Content-Type: text/html; charset="Windows-1252" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

About The Chosen: This award-winning adaptation from the novel is the story of two boys, two fathers and two very different Jewish communities-"five blocks and a world apart" As childhood friends Reuven and Danny grow to manhood, they are forced to learn important lessons about each other, their fathers, and themselves. It is a story of friendship, family and difficult choices that lead to the path of understanding, respect and reconciliation. The following programs are being presented in conjunction with The Chosen: Surround Film: A special screening of the film Focus by Neal Slavin, will be shown on Wednesday, March 19th at 7:00pm at the Madstone Centrum Theater on Euclid Heights Boulevard at Coventry.

The film screening is generously supported by the L.A Zaas Memorial Film Fund. About Focus: Focus (2002), by Neal Slavin, is based on Arthur Miller's novel of the same name. Focus tells the story of a husband and wife mistakenly identified as Jews by their Brooklyn neighbors during the waning days of World War II. It is the story of Lawrence Newman, a mild mannered "nebbish" who is thrust into the ugly world of bigotry, hatred and racism. The challenges that this otherwise unmemorable character faces change him and those around him. The film explores the evolvement of the characters as they undergo this replay of one of history's more unpleasant cycles. TIME: 107 minutes.

Radical writer George Sand is tired of the fight. Can Sarah Bernhardt and Dumas the Younger convince her to return to the theatre one more time with a play about her life? And will it matter, with a war coming and a revolution brewing in Paris? A new musical features the world's most prolific female author testing whether her notoriously unconventional life has made a difference. We've been developing this musical over the past 2 years under the auspices of Chicago Musical Theatre Works, and can't wait to hear it with this fabulous cast: William Brown, Sara Davis, Steve Hinger, Kat Taylor, Nancy Voigts, and Jonathan Weir. More details on the CMTW website: http://www.cmtw.org/newsevents.html - On March 6, my play THREE THE HARD WAY opens at the New Edgecliff Theatre in Cincinnati, Ohio. This comedy/drama of 3 unconventional sisters dealing with their gambler father's funeral is my most produced piece -- this will be its 12th full production. It runs Thurs-Sun through March 23. I'll be attending the March 13th (Thurs.) performance, which includes a reception and talkback with members of Cincinnati's Women's Theatre Initiative. Details at: http://www.newedgecliff.com - On March 9th in Cleveland I'll be making a rare on-stage appearance in the Cleveland V-Day benefit reading of Eve Ensler's THE VAGINA MONOLOGUES at Cleveland Public Theatre, directed by Randy Rollison. Details: (216) 631-2727. If you're in town and able to attend one of these events, please let me know. I recently had several pieces of good news on the publishing front: - My short play A RUSTLE OF WINGS will be included in the new Vintage Press anthology TAKE TEN II: NEW 10-MINUTE PLAYS, edited by Eric Lane and Nina Shengold -- publication is scheduled for fall '03. - My one-act MARLA'S DEVOTION will be the featured drama selection in the Winter 2003 issue of LODESTAR QUARTERLY, an on-line journal of lesbian, gay, and queer literature. www.lodestarquarterly.com Hope all is well with you -- stay warm and dry.

A modern day riff on The Scarlet Letter, In The Blood tells the story of a homeless woman and her children living on the streets. In compelling and stylized dramatic form, we enter a world where passions are raw, need is profound, success is elusive and adaptation is necessary. And yet, love exists. ?Suzan-Lori Parks asks questions about the way we live today and draws a line between rhetoric and behavior,? says director Sonya Robbins. ?She engages us in a dialogue that plays with stereotypes of class and race.? Well-known local musician Bill Ransom will create original music and sound landscapes for the piece. Ransom, Robbins and featured actress Rasheryl McCreary have collaborated before to great effect. Robbins says, ?Richard Ingraham and I will also be collaboratively working to create original sound and music for the piece.? RaSheryl McCreary stars as Hester, La Negrita, while the actors who play the adults in Hester?s life double as her children. The talented cast of adult actors also includes Kevin Brewer (The Doctor/Trouble), Victor Dickerson (Chilli/Jabber), Renee Matthews-Jackson (The Welfare Lady/Bully), Anthony Nickerson (Reverend D./Baby) and Cassandra Vincent (Amiga Gringa/Beauty). featuring Kevin Brewer*, Victor Dickerson, Renee Matthews-Jackson, RaSheryl McCreary*, Anthony Nickerson and Cassandra Vincent* *member Actors?

One of the main stcking points is musician minimums. Producers need to have a minimum number of musicians in the pit of a broadway show, based on the size of the house. This insures that live music will continue, and that producers can not go with a cheaper option of recorded or synthesized music. The musicians union is willing to reduce minimums but not do away with them entirely. Many composers have weighed in on the importance of this issue including, Jason Robert Brown, Andrew Lippa and John Kander along with a multitude of other well know names in New York theatre. They feel that this would take the decision of what is most beneficial for the show away from the composer, arranger and orchestrator, and put it soley into the hands of the producers. Almost all shows running this week have had rehearsals with virtual orchestras, but it seems that they are not going to let the public know that if a strike does occur, audiences could be paying a great deal of money to see shows with recorded music. Talks continued late into the night, but the union has indeed voted to strike if the deadline of March 2nd is passes without an agreement being reached. The musicians' union is circulating an online petition that will be sent to producers, that will show them how many people feel that this issue is important. I have provided the link.

--part1_18d.1692c4cc.2b938b70_boundary-- From royberko at yahoo.com Sun Mar 2 22:55:03 2003 From: royberko at yahoo.com (Roy Berko) Date: Sun Mar 2 22:55:03 2003 Subject: [NEohioPAL]Berko reviews: GROUNDWORKS DANCE; JEKYLL & HYDE--CPH Message-ID: <20030302182752.34521.qmail@web12001.mail.yahoo.com> GROUNDWORKS ENTHRALLS AT CPT; JEKYLL AND HYDE DISAPPOINTS AT CPH Roy Berko (Member, American Theatre Critics Association) --THE TIMES NEWSPAPERS-- Lorain County Times--Westlaker Times--Lakewood News Times--Olmsted-Fairview Times WONDERFUL, WONDERFUL DANCE PROGRAM BY GROUNDWORKS David Shimotakahara is not only a brilliant choreographer and dancer, but selects other dancers and choreographers of great ability to flesh out his company?s performances. This was proven again when Groundworks Dancetheater presented its ?DANCEWORKS/03? at Cleveland Public Theatre February 28 through March 2. The only regret is that the program ran only for three days and those who couldn?t get in to the sold-out performances won?t have a chance to experience the wonderful program. Groundworks is built on a very solid foundation. Mix creative choreography, excellent dancers, add precision, get the audience close-up, and let the whole mixture blend together. Shimotakahara is the master chef. As the founder of the group in 1998, after years with the Ohio Ballet, he has built a loyal following of not only devoted viewers, but performing professionals. He calls upon his artisans to blend their skills together. The results are consistently deserved standing ovations. The program opened with choreographer Gina Gibney?s tribute to Patsy Cline. The segment was danced to recordings of six of the country singer?s most popular songs including her signature"Somebody." Gibney used the company in creative ways. Her signature moves of strong twisting, powerful arm movements, unusual lifts and using the floor as not only a place to dance upon but to writh and interact on, were integrated into each segment. Amy Miller?s finely toned body was used to its powerful utmost as she gymnastically moved through "Love Letters in the Sand." Mark Otloski and Xochitl Tejeda de Cerda intertwined on the floor effectively in "You Took Him Off My Hands." It is exciting to see the progress that Otloski has made in recent years. He has moved from a competent dancer to an extraordinary one under Shimotakahara?s guidance. "Does Your Heart Beat for Me" found double tandems of dancers interacting. "Crazy Arms" and "Always" were cleverly conceived pieces. Russ Borski?s costume design of cowboy gear added to the mood. This portion of the evening was fresh, creative, and audience pleasing. Besides dance Shimotakahara often includes additional arts insertions. Piano soloist Michael Root added texture to the program by playing a series of Claude Debussy pieces entitled "Images I." Root?s rendition on the Steinway isolated on the bare stage, back-lite in red, was marvelous. Groundworks choses performance settings with care. Shimotakahara wants the audience to hear the shoes squeak, hear the dancers breathe, see them sweat, share their emotions. This was well illustrated in ?Hush.? choreographed by Beth Corning, a piece previously performed by the company. During the number, one of the dancers is placed on the laps of several audience members who hold her for much of the piece. ?Hush? touches on the longing for comfort found in moments throughout our lives. Done in slow turning and stretching movements, first to the humming of a single dancer, then segueing into an orchestra of the lullaby, the piece is full of measured moves. Felise Baley, Amy Miller and David Shimotakahara were captivating throughout this thought-provoking dance. ?Before With After,? in it?s world premiere, was a well-crafted and danced, if a little over long performance. Danced to the live piano accompaniment of Michael Root, the Shimotakahara choreography was well-supported by Ray Zander?s flowing costumes and Dennis Dugan?s creative lighting. The choreography included interludes of dancers moving together without touching, propelling slowly in parts, rapidly in others to parallel to the moods of the music, and acting and interacting with each other. The company was in total unity throughout. The dancers obviously were enjoying themselves and the audience caught the spirit. Clever humor paralleled with stark drama. Especially effective was a solo segment by Felise Bagley whose lovely moves were elegantly performed. A funny segment between Miller and deCerda was delightful and brought prolonged giggles from the audience. It is sad to announce that Xochitl Tejeda de Cerda, after many years, is leaving the Cleveland area and this was her last performance. Her talent and personality will be sorely missed. Groundworks next performances will be at the Pilgrim Church in the historic Tremont district of Cleveland from April 25 to 27 and May 1 to 3. For information call 216-691 3180 or visit the company on line at www.groundworksdance.org. JEKYLL AND HYDE DISAPPOINTS AT CPH Robert Lewis Stevenson?s ?THE STRANGE CASE OF DR. JEKYLL AND MR. HYDE? was published in 1886. Supposedly, Stevenson drafted the story in three days and completed its writing in six weeks. The story was supposedly developed in an unconscious state of sleep. As one Stevenson expert states, " The dream served as a catalyst for every other aspect of the story to Stevenson. He had long been trying to write a story on this subject, to find a body, a vehicle, for that strong sense of man's double being, which must at times come in upon and overwhelm the mind of every thinking creature" On the surface the story centers on the actions of a staid British doctor?s discovery of a formula created by his father. Curiosity drives Dr. Jekyll to take the potion which transforms him into the monster Mr. Hyde who knows no control for his emotions. Hyde attacks and kills at the slightest provocation. Soon, his potions begin to fail to work. When he can no longer obtain the chemicals to renew the potion Hyde kills himself, therefore letting both Jekyll and Hyde free. This is, in reality, not a story about a madman or a serial killer. It is a story about the theory that inside each of us dwells a being that externally conforms to culture, yet internally lusts for the liberty to act out what our emotions drive us do. Thus Dr. Jekyll, brought up in a staid English society, in a world where appearance was more important than substance, had a strong drive not to be so pure, so emotionally controlled. When he could no longer control his impulses he acted on them. The father of modern psychiatry, Sigmund Freud, would theorize that "The two sides compare almost as conscious and unconscious." The stage adaptation, now being performed by the Cleveland Play House, comes with good credentials. The play was written by David Edgar, who adapted the highly proclaimed ?NICHOLAS NICKLEBY? for the stage. The CPH production is starring Andrew May, one of Cleveland?s premiere actors. So, how could CPH go off course? Well, somehow it did. David Kay Mickelsen?s costumes are period-perfect. Rick Paulsen?s lighting attempts to lead us from scene to scene, mood to mood with appropriate lighting. It works most of the time. Robin Heath?s sound design and Larry Delinger?s music help set the right moods and transitions. Michael Ganio?s scene design, on the other hand, creates chaos. Strange happenings occur. A piano is on stage during a street scene, door flats fall, actors have to dodge around set pieces and furniture, actors get hidden in the far back areas of the stage, a witness can?t be seen by much of the audience, though her voice is heard. There are just too many pieces-parts flying in and out, revolving around and over-stuffing the stage. If this was to help the audience understand the chaos in Jekyll?s head it didn?t. Rather than help, the set distracted. Actors in this production are often hard to understand due to heavy and often inconsistent accents. Many characterizations are on-the-surface rather than creating clear people. Yes, this is not reality, but the audience must believe what they are seeing has reality or the shock effects, the meaning, gets lost. As one audience member said at intermission, "Will someone please tell me what is going on?" Lee Moore as the butler was wonderful. His character development was clear and consistent. Anna Cody was on target as Jekyll?s sister as were young Kyle Blackburn Liz Duchez as her children. On the other hand, Ivy Vahanian, who plays Annie, a parlor maid, who has a pivotal role, was very difficult to understand and feigned emotions. What was most disappointing was May?s performance. While his Jekyll was basically fine, his Hyde was often unintelligible. He was needlessly bent over to fit the script description of a small younger man. Thus, his voice didn?t project. The problem could have been eliminated changing of the unnecessary description. His cockney brogue often drowned out whole ideas. Excessive shouting made some of his lines unclear and, though it mirrored frustration, it eliminated understanding. The roles were not textured the way May he has proven he is capable of doing. The overall effect was less than a stellar production. One must question some of the technical and acting decisions made by director Peter Hackett. The production continues at CPH through April 6.
