Dickens' lovely little novella plays out on the Actors' Summit stage this holiday season, adapted by Cleveland-area playwright and Renaissance man Wayne Turney. A frequent performer with Actors' Summit, Turney has adapted Oedipus and Tartuffe for previous productions at the professional Hudson theater. The Cricket on the Hearth, a welcome new offering amid Northeast Ohio's holiday fare, is much sweeter and lighter than A Christmas Carol. In the hands of Actors' Summit's skilled group of actors, the story never becomes sickeningly sweet. Even actor Thomas Cummings carries off ``chirruping'' like a cricket without seeming silly. This story of hearth and home has a simple message: Love is found at home. The magical creature of the cricket -- which presides over all domestic tranquility -- is a symbol of God. Wonderful performances are provided by darling actresses Kelly Pekar -- who plays the irresistible little young mother Dot -- and Hannah DelMonte as the kind-hearted blind girl, Bertha. Pekar has a surprisingly mature singing voice and excellent acting ability for a high school senior. DelMonte, also a high school senior, has a splendid voice, too. Both have done professional work throughout Northeast Ohio. Most of the show's humor stems from Neil Thackaberry as the gruff toy seller Tackleton, and Wayne Turney as the merry, eccentric toy maker Caleb. Thackaberry is almost violently grumpy as his Scrooge-like character. And Turney, who has written the book and lyrics for this show, switches expertly between playing Dickens and Caleb. This is a delightful holiday story. To use the words of author Turney, Dickens' ``enchanting language'' rings forth on the Actors' Summit stage. The problem with this show is the difficult, digitally recorded score. It's often so complex, the accompaniment leaves several cast members out on a limb, searching for their pitches. The score is a major project composed by Kent State University Stark Campus professor Sebastian Birch just for this world premiere musical. But even singers like Greg Violand (John), who has sung with the Cleveland Opera, had trouble opening night adapting to its complexities. The accompaniment includes flute, oboe, strings, piano and more. The loveliest Christmas sounds of all, used throughout most of the tunes, are bells. At times, the recorded accompaniment overpowers the singing onstage and the incongruity is painfully obvious. In other songs, the lyrics are repetitive and the pieces drag on for too long. Some of the tunes have three or four melodies going at once, making the piece sound like something from an operetta. But these arrangements aren't sung accurately enough for the lyrics to be easily understood and enjoyable. Because the music isn't the strongest part of this show, it would have been better to keep the songs simpler and fewer. One can only hope that the coordination between the singing and recorded accompaniment will gel better as the run of The Cricket on the Hearth continues. The only singers who didn't have any trouble with pitch opening night were Pekar and DelMonte. Musical highlights included a sweet love ballad between Dot and John, When I See You Look at Me, and the cast's oddly jolly Oxymoronic Paradox about the toy seller who hates children. This song fleshes out Tackleton's Scrooge-like character well before we've met him Also wonderful is No Higher Calling, a sweet duet between Caleb and Bertha that extols the joys of creating toys that make little ones smile. Despite some of this show's musical weaknesses, The Cricket on the Hearth is a merry performance that's worth seeing. The story includes several satisfying revelations as well as one very well-constructed surprise, guaranteed to instill wonder.

This off-the-wall comedy is a ball of energy full of twists and turns. Adding to the absurdity of this comedy is the fact that the twins in Dobama?s production will be played by real-life twins Tyson and Tyler Postma. Sebastian Bliss (Tyson Postma) and his twin sister, Bernadette Dixon (Tyler Postma), reunite after several years at their mother's funeral, after she was killed by an errant showerhead. Bernadette can barely stop weeping, while her brother is merely irritated by her display of emotion. Sebastian attends therapy sessions with Dr. Hillary MacMahon (Juliette Regnier*, who also plays Miranda Bliss), and when he announces his intention to leave therapy, she injures herself over it. Bernadette's husband, Kip (Sean Derry), decides to give up dentistry and become an artist. Sebastian's only real contact with people is in the form of letters he writes to a convicted murderer, Dylan (Jeff Staron, who also plays Roger). Sebastian brings home a prostitute and ends up with his throat cut. As he lies bleeding, his mother? s ghost visits him. Mother and son reveal secrets they couldn't tell while Mother lived. ?Raised in Captivity is about guilt, redemption and self-punishment, and, against all odds, it is also very funny.? ? The New York Times featuring Sean Derry, Juliette Regnier*, Tyler Postma*, Tyson Postma and Jeff Staron *member Actors?

The judges, however, acquitted themselves admirably in the task." Each year the competition jury is composed of one faculty member from each performance division, one faculty member from a non-performance division, and an external adjudicator. This year's judges were Professor of Composition and Music Theory Randolph Coleman; Assistant Professor of Clarinet Richard Hawkins; Assistant Professor of Violin Kyung Sun Lee; Associate Professor of Singing Lorraine Manz; Professor of Piano Peter Tak=E0cs; Associate Professor of Conducting and Music Director of the Oberlin Orchestras Steven Smith; and, returning for his second stint as juror, Robert Sherman, host of the McGraw-Hill Companies'Young Artists Showcase on WQXR, the classical music radio station = of the New York Times.

Making Your Craft Complete

a FREE seminar Wednesday, December 10th, with Robert Patterson

In the early part of the last century, the Group Theatre revolutionized the American theatre by incorporating a form of training based on the system of Constantin Stanislavski. The Group became a huge commercial success, and generated some of the greatest acting teachers of the 20^th century: Lee Strasberg, Stella Adler, Robert Lewis, and most importantly Sanford Meisner.

But even in it's triumphs, the 'system' was evolving, and competing schools of thought emerged. Stella Adler and Sanford Meisner broke from Strasberg's psychological "method" after finding from Stanislavski that the system had grown from its earlier incarnation. She began teaching classes of her own and incorporated the new innovations, and Meisner formulated and began to teach "the reality of doing"-a new "technique." It was a tangible, teachable approach- it was the next great step in the evolution of the training of actors.

Throughout the last century, and up until today, these diverse traditions handed down from Stanislavski, the Group, and its offspring, have been taught to generations of actors.

And today

The teachers of "method-oriented" training claim to pass on the psychological techniques of Strasberg garnered from "25 years of study" with Strasberg himself. But does it take 25 years of STUDY to learn (or teach) any other craft besides acting?

Some studios have faculty that "are primarily performing artists," and I am sure that they are committed performing artists. But are they committed Master Teachers?

Even teachers of the "Meisner technique" have become academic, with certificate programs to award anyone who wishes to learn from his prot?g?s. I am sure these diverse personalities pass on as best as possible what each of them recalls, but where is the next step? Where is the next revolution?

Isn't there a Master Teacher who has built upon the venerable work of these Great Master Teachers--evolving, revolutionizing, and completing the craft?

 Yes. And Wednesday, December 10th at 6:00pm

Robert Patterson describes his REVOLUTIONARY and COMPLETE approach for the training of actors in this FREE one hour seminar.

Stanislavski conceived of a system,

 Sanford Meisner shaped it into a teachable approach,

 Robert Patterson has developed it into a complete craft.

The Work that is taught at The Robert Patterson Studio IS the new revolution for training in the craft of Acting. Robert Patterson's complete approach is the result of thirty years of teaching and is as revolutionary as the Group was 70 years ago. This is not "technique" from a year of basic exercises and a year of character work, after which a student applies his bag of tricks for life; this is acting as a complete craft, learned as one continuous action. When the student finishes, the work is then applied to a role as one continuous action leaving no "acting problems," no holes, and no questions. It is called The Work, because it is just that--it is the way an actor works. And it is complete.

For Immediate Release: Contact: Marjorie Preston, Dobama Theatre PR/Marketing, (216) 932-6838 Email: mpreston at dobama.org Web Site: www.dobama.org DOBAMA presents the OHIO PREMIERE of Raised in Captivity By Nicky Silver Directed by Russ Borski January 16 - February 8 Dobama Theatre proudly presents the Ohio premiere of Nicky Silver?s Raised in Captivity. This off-the-wall comedy is a ball of energy with more twists and turns than can be easily explained on paper. Adding to the absurdity of this comedy is the fact that the twins in Dobama?s production will be played by real-life siblings Tyson and Tyler Postma. Sebastian Bliss (Tyson Postma) and his twin sister, Bernadette Dixon (Tyler Postma), reunite after several years at their mother's funeral, after she was killed by an errant showerhead. Bernadette can barely stop weeping, while her brother is merely irritated by her display of emotion. Sebastian attends therapy sessions with Dr. Hillary MacMahon (Juliette Regnier*, who also plays Miranda Bliss), and when he announces his intention to leave therapy, she injures herself over it. Bernadette's husband, Kip (Sean Derry), decides to give up dentistry and become an artist. Sebastian's only real contact with people is in the form of letters he writes to a convicted murderer, Dylan (Jeff Staron, who also plays Roger). Sebastian brings home a prostitute and ends up with his throat cut. As he lies bleeding, his mother? s ghost visits him. Mother and son reveal secrets they couldn't tell while Mother lived. ?Raised in Captivity is about guilt, redemption and self-punishment, and, against all odds, it is also very funny.? ? The New York Times featuring Sean Derry, Juliette Regnier*, Tyler Postma*, Tyson Postma and Jeff Staron *member Actors? Equity Association Performances: January 16 - February 8 Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 8:00 p.m. Sunday 1/18 at 7:30 p.m.; 1/25, 2/1 and 2/8 at 2:30 p.m. Tickets $11-$20 Information: (216) 932-6838.

Message-ID: Two special events coming up in conjuntion with CPT's production of MRS. BOB CRATCHIT'S WILD CHRISTMAS BINGE! Sunday, December 7: Mrs. Bob Cratchit's Wild Xmas Party It?s her party, she can binge if she wants to! Mrs. Bob Cratchit, CPT, and Union Station Video Caf? invite you to this special holiday event in support CPT?s artistic programs and operations. It starts at 3:00 p.m. with a special matinee performance of MRS. BOB CRACHIT'S WILD CHRISTMAS BINGE, the latest comedy from Obie award winner Christopher Durang. Immediately following the performance in CPT?s Gordon Square Theatre, Mrs. Bob Cratchit will greet patrons for a holiday party at Union Station Video Caf? as part of their Showtunes theme night. In the style of the show, the cast of MRS. BOB CRATCHIT'S WILD CHRISTMAS BINGE will continue the entertainment with a cabaret-style act, and USVC will feature appetizers and cash bar. In addition, there will be a unique single-item live auction, to be revealed at the party. Join Mrs. Bob Cratchit, the Fezziwigs, Kenneth Lay, Ebeenezer Scrooge, George Bailey, and the rest of the Cratchit Family for a unique holiday party to benefit this Detroit-Shoreway area non-profit cultural organization. Sunday, December 7, 2003 3:00 p.m. performance, Mrs. Bob Cratchit?s Wild Christmas Binge at CPT?s Gordon Square Theatre 6415 Detroit Ave. at W. 65th Street Party Immediately Following at Union Station Video Caf? 2814 Detroit Ave. Tickets are $35 ($20 tax deductible) CPT is proud to partner with its neighbor Union Station Video Caf? throughout its 2003-04 season. USVC is a sponsor of MRS. BOB CRATCHIT'S WILD CHRISTMAS BINGE. A restaurant and video caf? located in the historic Ohio City neighborhood, USVC is celebrating its second anniversary. The complex also features Bounce, a dance club and bar with state-of-the-art sound and light systems. Bounce brings in nationally known DJs, and the complex includes Pumps, a special cabaret room for live shows. At USVC/Bounce/Pumps, patrons can enjoy music, videos, dinner, cocktails, pool, drag entertainment, and specialty shows almost every night of the week. USVC is located at 2814 Detroit Ave. CPT is located five minutes down the street at 6415 Detroit Ave. Ample parking is available at both locations. Saturday, December 13 and 20: Hungarian Holiday Binge In conjunction with its holiday production of Christopher Durang?s new comedy, MRS. BOB CRATCHIT'S WILD CHRISTMAS BINGE, executive director James Levin and artistic director Randy Rollison are proud to present the Hungarian Holiday Binge, December 13 and 20, 2003, in CPT?s new rehearsal hall. This special evening includes dinner at 6:00 p.m., followed by the 8:00 p.m. performance of MRS. BOB CRATCHIT'S WILD CHRISTMAS BINGE next door in the Gordon Square Theatre. Dinner includes a homestyle Hungarian feast created by chef Attila Salka of the Schnitzel Company. This dinner and theatre package is $55. ?It?s the season to get together with family and friends to celebrate, and we thought it would be fun to take our holiday production one step further by offering a special dinner package,? says Rollison. Indeed, Mrs. Bob Cratchit?s Wild Christmas Binge pokes fun at holiday meals as only Obie award winner Durang can do. The Cratchit family has only one good meal a year, but this Christmas meal does not turn out as expected, thanks to their family chef and Ebeenezer Scrooge. However, with the Hungarian Holiday Binge, patrons can expect a delicious menu of weiner schnitzel, mashed potatoes, green peas, house salad, cherry strudel, beer and Hungarian wine. Chef Attila Salka, no stranger to delicious Hungarian cooking, was born in Transylvania, and grew up around the restaurant business. Salka assisted his mother, who ran a restaurant in their native Hungary for 21 years. He attended culinary school in Debreceu, Hungary, focusing on the culinary arts as well as restaurant and hotel management. Salka also has a degree in German, and speaks four languages fluently. He currently runs the catering at St. Helena?s Church on W. 65th, a neighbor to CPT. Salka is working on opening his own catering business, the Schnitzel Company. The business will specialize in catering, focusing on Hungarian home-style cooking as well as fresh and frozen foods for purchase in stores. With Mrs. Bob Cratchit?s Wild Christmas Binge, Obie Award winner Durang takes on some of the holiday season?s sacred cows. Gladys Cratchit has had it. There are 21 foundlings in the basement and that whiney Tiny Tim just won?t shut up. One day she flips, takes to drink and tries to throw herself off a bridge. Sound familiar? Meanwhile, Ebenezzer Scrooge gets a visit from the Ghost of Christmases Past, Present, and Future, and a life lesson is not far around the corner. However, it seems something is wrong with the Ghost?s abilities to do her job, and she and Scrooge go on a humorous ride that lets several classic holiday tales have it. Although this play with music is based on A Christmas Carol, it quickly spins out of control, colliding with It?s a Wonderful Life and The Gift of the Magi. Christopher Durang is a playwright whose plays include A History of the American Film (Tony nomination), Sister Mary Ignatius Explains It All For You (Obie award), Beyond Therapy, Baby with the Bathwater, The Marriage of Bette and Boo (Obie award), Laughing Wild, Durang/Durang, and Betty?s Summer Vacation (1999 Obie award). He?s acted in his own plays, in movies, and performed in the Sondheim revue Putting It Together at the Manhattan Theatre Club starring Julie Andrews. In the early 80s he and Sigourney Weaver performed in and co-wrote Das Lusitania Songspiel, a Brecht-Weill parody; and with John Augustine and Sherry Anderson he has performed his crackpot cabaret Chris Durang and Dawne various places, winning a Bistro Award. Most recent work: a musical Adrift in Macao, optioned for off-Bway; and a new play, Mrs. Bob Cratchit?s Wild Christmas Binge at City Theatre in Pittsburgh. Since 1994 he and Marsha Norman have been co-chairs of the Playwriting Program at the Juilliard School. He?s a member of the Dramatists Guild Council. MRS. BOB CRATCHIT'S WILD CHRISTMAS BINGE was commissioned and originally produced by City Theatre Company, Pittsburgh, PA. 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.

Bring Theater to Your Workplace! Message-ID: <1166.66.219.160.105.1070635401.squirrel@www.charenton.org> The Office Tour Wants to Come to You Help us bring theater to your workplace Charenton Theater Company is currently looking for locations for our touring production of David Mamet?s scathing satire of American business morality: Glengarry Glen Ross. If your workplace has a lunchroom, large conference room, or ideally a small theater or stage we would like to bring our play to you ? free of charge to your employer. The performance will also be free to all who attend. The performances will run mid-February through early March and we will build our calendar according to availability. We will need to have commitment of specific dates by the holidays and will be happy to work with companies of all sizes and types. The play revolves around the world of real-estate sales, but the scenario could be applied to almost any modern work environment. The play does contain extremely strong language and is of an adult nature. For any explanation of content I would ask that you watch the film version starring Al Pacino, Jack Lemmon, and Kevin Spacey. If you are not familiar with the play we ask that you please read it or watch the film version before committing your workplace to this show. This project has awesome potential for bringing a high level, professional theatrical production out into the public in an accessible and poignant fashion. We would like performances to be free and open to the public as well as your co-workers and will work with your employer to facilitate any needs. We hope to expose a new potential audience to the power of live theater ? be it your co-workers or just interested Clevelanders. If you would like more information or simply would like to be added to our tour list please contact us at 216.781.9987 or info at charenton.org. We hope to work with you to bring great theater into our community.

Hong, who is 16 and from ChungJu in Korea, played Vieuxtemps' Concerto No. 5 for the finals, in which she competed with nine violinists for the top prizes. Her Paganini Caprice No. 5, Bach Sonata No. 3, and Wieniawski Caprice had lifted her out of the preliminary pool of 60 participants, and she played Waxman's Carmen Fantasy for the semifinals. One of the perks of being a top prizewinner was an invitation to perform at the competition's gala concert, held in Wieniawski Hall. She played the Waxman and the Wieniawski. "This competition is known as one of the bigger and more difficult international violin competitions, especially in the junior division," says Lee. "Many well-known European violinists -- Maxim Vengerov, for example -- have won the Wieniawski." Hong began her studies at Oberlin last year as Lee's private student; the two met in Korea three years ago. "She teaches me to find the music in myself," says Hong of her teacher. "Oberlin is a wonderful place to study music, especially with all of the artists who come here to perform." One of those artists, violinist Ida Haendel, who appeared in concert in November under the auspices of the Artist Recital Series, was herself a Wieniawski finalist, in 1935, at the tender age of seven. Hong was, understandably, in attendance at the concert and at Haendel's master class. The Wieniawski is not Hong's inaugural success. She won first prize in the 2000 I-Wha National Competition and in the 2001 Korean Times National Competition, both held in Seoul. A 2001 graduate of the YeWon School of the Arts, she has performed as soloist with the Seoul Philharmonic and the Korean Symphony orchestras. # # # Marci Janas Director of Conservatory Media Relations Oberlin Conservatory of Music 39 West College Street Oberlin, OH 44074 Tel: 440-775-8328 Fax: 440-775-5457 marci.janas at oberlin.edu www.oberlin.edu/con --Boundary_(ID_Y267Gz/AvfRmozaJfQP4gQ) Content-type: text/enriched; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT Content-disposition: inline PalatinoOberlin Student Wins Third Prize at Prestigious Wieniawski International Violin Competition For Immediate Release: Media Contact: Marci Janas December 5, 2003 440-775-8328 OBERLIN, OHIO -- Ui-Youn Hong, a first-year violin performance major and a student of Assistant Professor of Violin Kyung Sun Lee, won third prize in the junior division of the Henryk Wieniawski International Violin Competition for Young Violinists, held in Lublin, Poland, in September.

Cassidy Theatre will produce Neil Simon's musical comedy "Little Me" and an additional audition date has been added.

A note from Director Robert Gibb -

Thanks to all who auditioned for "Little Me" - I was very pleased with the turnout and the talent!

I received messages from many interested people (over a dozen!) who were not able to make the previous auditions so we have scheduled one additional audition for Monday, December 15 at 7:00 p.m.

I hope to cast the show very quickly after that date.

SUMMIT, PLAYHOUSE SQUARE AND CPT Roy Berko (Member, American Theatre Critics Association) --THE TIMES NEWSPAPERS-- Lorain County Times--Westlaker Times--Lakewood News Times--Olmsted-Fairview Times WORLD PREMIERE PRODUCTION AT ACTORS? SUMMIT It?s that time of year when theatres try to pull holiday entertainment out of the bag. Ensemble is running ?THE GIFT OF THE MAGI,? The Cleveland Play House has shipped in ?PLAID TIDINGS,? Great Lakes Theatre Festival has once again resurrected ?THE CHRISTMAS CAROL,? and Cleveland Public Theatre is featuring the farcical ?MRS. BOB CRATCHET?S WILD CHRISTMAS BINGE.? Actors? Summit, rather than do the tried and true, has ventured off into trying to create its own holiday gift to give and give again in the form of Wayne Turney?s attempt to adapt Charles Dickens? ?CRICKET ON THE HEARTH? into a musical. Transforming the novel ?CRICKET ON THE HEARTH? into a play is not a new task. It?s been attempted before. In most instances, the transformation hasn?t worked. Though Turney, musical creator Sebastian Anthony Birch and director MaryJo Alexander give it their all, the show?s world premiere doesn?t quite work either. The book itself presents complexities not easily overcome. It has an obvious conclusion and lacks the multi-level texturing that has made Dickens? ?OLIVER TWIST? work as the musical ?OLIVER.? It lacks humor or great drama. Alexander has paced the show well, creates attractive stage pictures, and has the cast basically on target in their portrayals. The problem isn?t hers. The problem is not Turney?s either. Rather than create new conceptual songs, Turney has relied on an operatic technique for the lyrics. He uses dialogue set to music. This allows the plot?s ideas to flow along, but doesn?t give the audience the sound it is used to hearing in musicals. Most modern musicals have songs which have verses followed by a chorus. This allows for familiarity with the repeated sounds and words. Think "Food, Glorious Food" from the musical ?OLIVER? based on Dickens? "OLIVER TWIST." In addition, the show?s songs don?t allow for ease of listening. Birch?s music is also sometimes hard to warm up to. Much of the music is atonal, and the singers often appear to be singing one tune while the musical accompaniment sounds like it is playing a different melody. A repeated bell sound, a musical thread running through most of the music fits the time of the year, but becomes piercing after hearing it over and over again. The cast is generally acceptable. The characterizations were clear. Especially effective were Greg Violand as the older love-struck husband, Wayne Turney as Dickens, who narrates the show; Neil Thackaberry, as the mean Tackleton who eventually, as does Scrooge in ?CHRISTMAS CAROL,? softens into a nice guy. The singing voices aren?t all strong. This is especially obvious in the choral segments. Several of the cast had trouble in the higher ranges. CAPSULE JUDGEMENT: ?CRICKET ON THE HEARTH? is a work-in-progress. Whether it will ever turn into a holiday favorite is questionable, but Actors? Summit deserves credit for trying something new rather than giving us one more repeat of tired traditional holiday material. ?CRICKET ON THE HEARTH? plays through December 21 at Actors? Summit?s wonderfully intimate theatre-in-the-three-quarter round. For tickets call 330-342-0800 or visit on-line to actorssummit.org. The company?s next play is Michael Frayn?s drama COPENHAGEN which runs from January 8-25. ?THE NUTCRACKER? DISAPPOINTS AT THE ALLEN THEATRE When the Cleveland-San Jose Ballet fled the North Coast for the warmer climes of California, it took with it their version of ?THE NUTCRACKER,? one of the area?s long time holiday traditions. Playhouse Square Center, in need of a holiday offering, for several seasons brought in the delightful Radio City Rockettes and their holiday program. This year, as part of their Rainbow Babies and Children?s Hospital Ballet Season 2003-2004, the decision was made to bring in the highly touted Pennsylvania Ballet with their ?NUTCRACKER.? No one who saw the CSJB version will ever mistake what the Pennsylvania Ballet presented as its equal. Yes, the sets, the costumes and the music were wonderful, but there was a lack of magic on stage. This production, with a cast mainly made up of children and youth, lacked the delight and the compelling charm necessary to truly bring to life George Balanchine?s wonderful choreography. Because of the abilities of the youth, there was a lot of walking and little real dancing. Rather than having the likes of Raymond Rodriquez and Karen Gabay dancing the Little Prince and Princess, we had two pre-teens walking around the stage. In the second act, in place of the Little Prince?s wonderful dance solo we had a young boy standing in the middle of the stage pantomiming the story that enfolded in the first act. As the little girl seated next to me asked aloud, "What?s he doing?" The fight sequences between the mice and the wooden soldiers, which usually brings squeals of delight from the children in the audience, lacked creativity. The children who played wooden soldiers walked, they didn?t march or dance and the huge mice were less than entertaining. Even the adult dancers were no more than competent. The Snowflake sequence lacked enchantment, even though the lighting and the falling snow cast the right spell. There is a wonderful dance sequence near the end of the ballet in which we see the Sugarplum Fair and her Cavalier cavort. Dede Barfield and Alexei Borovik showed no emotional connection. Borovik?s flying leaps, which, if properly done usually bring gasps of joy from an audience were met with mild applause. He failed to get much lift or execute the movements parallel to the speed of the music. Barfield?s toe-work, especially in the sequence when she was pulled across the stage by her partner to imitate an ice-skating effect was fine, but there was a lack of fire in her moves. CAPSULE JUDGEMENT: Pennsylvania Ballet?s ?THE NUTCRACKER? lacked magic. Kids are cute, but ballet requires dancers, proficient dancers. As the ballet ended, I glanced over at the velvet dressed young lady next to me, now fast asleep in her father?s arms. All I could think was, "Dennis Nahat and the Cleveland San Jose Ballet, where are you now that we need you?" ?MRS. BOB CRATCHIT?S WILD CHRISTMAS BINGE? COULD DELIGHT YOU AT CPT On stage there is Scrooge, Tiny Tim, Bob Cratchit, Ghost of Christmas Past, Ghost of Christmas Present, Ghost of Christmas Future. It?s obvious that you?re seeing Dicken?s ?CHRISTMAS CAROL.? Wait, there are scenes from ?OLIVER TWIST,? ?IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE? AND ?THE OLD CURIOSITY SHOP.? Throw in references to ?PETER PAN? and ?MY FRIEND FLICKA.? No, this is definitely not ?CHRISTMAS CAROL.? Let?s look at this a little closer. The ghost who visits Scrooge just can?t get things right. Mrs. Bob Cratchit (did you know her name was Gladys?) is unhappy with everyone and everything in her life. Her breaking point comes when Bob arrives with their 21st foundling. She wants to go to a bar, down a few Tequila Surprises and jump off the London Bridge. Imagine her relief to find that she is simply placed in the wrong time period and is Scrooge's soul mate. In playwright Christopher Durang?s hands, Scrooge?s famous line "Bah Humbug" isn?t just a casual dismissal of Christmas joy, it?s seasonal Tourette?s Syndrome. Eventually everything is eventually rectified by the Ghost of all three Christmases. The CPT production, under the direction of Randy Rollison, is often funny, often hilarious, but also misses some of the laughs due to poor line interpretation. The singing also covers the broad realm of possibilities...some of the voices are wonderful, others are off-key. Meg Chamberlain is outstanding as Gladys Cratchit. Dan Kilbane is a delightful 6-foot Tiny Tim who trips and falls with ease while looking like a grinning idiot who is in an advertisement for laser tooth polishing. David Hansen is properly clueless as Bob Cratchit. Nina Dominque is inconsistent as The Ghosts. Her singing voice lacks polish and her line interpretation varies from excellent to unbelievable. The children in the cast needed more directoral assistance to aid them to stay in character. CAPSULE JUDGEMENT: If you aren?t in the right mood...silly; aren?t willing to set aside some amateur production qualities; and think that Christmas is a sincere holiday, then you?ll be turned off by ?MRS. BOB CRATCHIT?S WILD CHRISTMAS BINGE.? On the other hand, if you've seen one too many productions of ?A CHRISTMAS CAROL? and, upon hearing Tiny Tim optimistically proclaim "God bless us every one!?" you wish someone would expose him for the attention-grabbing urchin he is, get in your sleigh and go see the Cleveland Public Theatre?s production of ?MRS. BOB CRATCHIT?S WILD CHRISTMAS BINGE.? The show runs until December 20 at the theatre which is located at 6415 Detroit Avenue.

Thank you for reading this far and I hope to see you there, it honestly is a lot of fun. It's so much fun to be surrounded by 200 people in medieval gowns and armor playing the part of medieval folk. It is also an important fundraiser for M&PA, a downtown presenting/producing performing arts group, which is under financial stress like many of your organizations. Hope to see you there!

Dickens' lovely little novella plays out on the Actors' Summit stage this holiday season, adapted by Cleveland-area playwright and Renaissance man Wayne Turney. A frequent performer with Actors' Summit, Turney has adapted Oedipus and Tartuffe for previous productions at the professional Hudson theater. The Cricket on the Hearth, a welcome new offering amid Northeast Ohio's holiday fare, is much sweeter and lighter than A Christmas Carol. In the hands of Actors' Summit's skilled group of actors, the story never becomes sickeningly sweet. Even actor Thomas Cummings carries off ``chirruping'' like a cricket without seeming silly. This story of hearth and home has a simple message: Love is found at home. The magical creature of the cricket -- which presides over all domestic tranquility -- is a symbol of God. Wonderful performances are provided by darling actresses Kelly Pekar -- who plays the irresistible little young mother Dot -- and Hannah DelMonte as the kind-hearted blind girl, Bertha. Pekar has a surprisingly mature singing voice and excellent acting ability for a high school senior. DelMonte, also a high school senior, has a splendid voice, too. Both have done professional work throughout Northeast Ohio. Most of the show's humor stems from Neil Thackaberry as the gruff toy seller Tackleton, and Wayne Turney as the merry, eccentric toy maker Caleb. Thackaberry is almost violently grumpy as his Scrooge-like character. And Turney, who has written the book and lyrics for this show, switches expertly between playing Dickens and Caleb. This is a delightful holiday story. To use the words of author Turney, Dickens' ``enchanting language'' rings forth on the Actors' Summit stage. The problem with this show is the difficult, digitally recorded score. It's often so complex, the accompaniment leaves several cast members out on a limb, searching for their pitches. The score is a major project composed by Kent State University Stark Campus professor Sebastian Birch just for this world premiere musical. But even singers like Greg Violand (John), who has sung with the Cleveland Opera, had trouble opening night adapting to its complexities. The accompaniment includes flute, oboe, strings, piano and more. The loveliest Christmas sounds of all, used throughout most of the tunes, are bells. At times, the recorded accompaniment overpowers the singing onstage and the incongruity is painfully obvious. In other songs, the lyrics are repetitive and the pieces drag on for too long. Some of the tunes have three or four melodies going at once, making the piece sound like something from an operetta. But these arrangements aren't sung accurately enough for the lyrics to be easily understood and enjoyable. Because the music isn't the strongest part of this show, it would have been better to keep the songs simpler and fewer. One can only hope that the coordination between the singing and recorded accompaniment will gel better as the run of The Cricket on the Hearth continues. The only singers who didn't have any trouble with pitch opening night were Pekar and DelMonte. Musical highlights included a sweet love ballad between Dot and John, When I See You Look at Me, and the cast's oddly jolly Oxymoronic Paradox about the toy seller who hates children. This song fleshes out Tackleton's Scrooge-like character well before we've met him Also wonderful is No Higher Calling, a sweet duet between Caleb and Bertha that extols the joys of creating toys that make little ones smile. Despite some of this show's musical weaknesses, The Cricket on the Hearth is a merry performance that's worth seeing. The story includes several satisfying revelations as well as one very well-constructed surprise, guaranteed to instill wonder.

This off-the-wall comedy is a ball of energy full of twists and turns. Adding to the absurdity of this comedy is the fact that the twins in Dobama?s production will be played by real-life twins Tyson and Tyler Postma. Sebastian Bliss (Tyson Postma) and his twin sister, Bernadette Dixon (Tyler Postma), reunite after several years at their mother's funeral, after she was killed by an errant showerhead. Bernadette can barely stop weeping, while her brother is merely irritated by her display of emotion. Sebastian attends therapy sessions with Dr. Hillary MacMahon (Juliette Regnier*, who also plays Miranda Bliss), and when he announces his intention to leave therapy, she injures herself over it. Bernadette's husband, Kip (Sean Derry), decides to give up dentistry and become an artist. Sebastian's only real contact with people is in the form of letters he writes to a convicted murderer, Dylan (Jeff Staron, who also plays Roger). Sebastian brings home a prostitute and ends up with his throat cut. As he lies bleeding, his mother? s ghost visits him. Mother and son reveal secrets they couldn't tell while Mother lived. ?Raised in Captivity is about guilt, redemption and self-punishment, and, against all odds, it is also very funny.? ? The New York Times featuring Sean Derry, Juliette Regnier*, Tyler Postma*, Tyson Postma and Jeff Staron *member Actors?

Of the four winners, three performed works by the Russian master. The four = musicians, selected from among 18 finalists, have secured spots as soloists = with the Oberlin Orchestra and Oberlin Chamber Orchestra during the 2003-04 = season. All concerts, which are free and open to the public, will take place in Finney Chapel with Steven Smith, associate professor of conducting = and music director of the Oberlin orchestras, conducting three of them. Two = concerts in the spring are scheduled for live broadcast on WCLV-104.9 FM, Cleveland?s classical music radio station. This year's winners include one violinist, one tenor, and two pianists. Violinist Gared Crawford '04, of Houston, Texas, studies with Professor of Violin Gregory Fulkerson. Tenor Arthur Espiritu, an artist diploma candidate and a native of Rizal, Philippines, studies with Professor of Singing Richard Miller. Pianist Scott Meek '05, of Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, is a student of Associate Professor of Piano Alvin Chow. Taisiya Pushkar '04, born in Kishinev, Moldova, now living in Brooklyn, New York, studies with Professor of Piano Lydia Frumkin. Espiritu, the non-Prokofiev winner, performed Mozart's aria Misero! O sogno! O son desto, K. 431. He reprised the work in concert with the Oberlin Chamber Orchestra Nov. 7. Crawford will perform his winning Prokofiev Violin Concerto in D major with = the Oberlin Chamber Orchestra Dec. 7 at 8 p.m. in Finney Chapel. Meek will appear with the Oberlin Orchestra March 5, performing Prokofiev's = Concerto No. 3. Glen Cortese, the newly appointed music director and conductor of the Oregon Mozart Players and music director of the New York Chamber Sinfonia, will serve as guest conductor for this concert, which will be broadcast live on WCLV, 104.9 FM, and which also includes Brahms' Academic Festival Overture, op. 80, and Respighi's Fountains of Rome and Pines of Rome. Rounding out the Prokofiev season, Pushkar will play his Concerto No. 1 with the Oberlin Orchestra, conducted by Steven Smith, May 9. This concert, = which will also be broadcast live on WCLV, includes Stravinsky's Symphony of Psalms, performed by Oberlin's Musical Union, conducted by Hugh Floyd, and Charles Ives' Symphony No. 4. As in previous years, according to Dean of the Conservatory Robert Dodson, "the level of talent was such that the process of choosing only four finalists was a challenging one. The judges, however, acquitted themselves admirably in the task." Each year the competition jury is composed of one faculty member from each performance division, one faculty member from a non-performance division, and an external adjudicator. This year's judges were Professor of Composition and Music Theory Randolph Coleman; Assistant Professor of Clarinet Richard Hawkins; Assistant Professor of Violin Kyung Sun Lee; Associate Professor of Singing Lorraine Manz; Professor of Piano Peter Tak=E0cs; Associate Professor of Conducting and Music Director of the Oberlin Orchestras Steven Smith; and, returning for his second stint as juror, Robert Sherman, host of the McGraw-Hill Companies'Young Artists Showcase on WQXR, the classical music radio station = of the New York Times. "It was wonderfully encouraging to encounter one fine talent after another, = to hear a parade of performances that projected confidence, assurance, and deep musical understanding," says Sherman. "Good for all of these student artists, and bravo to their Oberlin mentors as well." The Oberlin Conservatory of Music, founded in 1865, became part of Oberlin College in 1867. It is the oldest, continuously operating conservatory in the United States, and is renowned internationally as a professional music school of the highest caliber situated within the intellectual vitality of a liberal arts college. ### Media Contact Only: Marci Janas 440-775-8328/marci.janas at oberlin.edu 12/4/03 #28mj Marci Janas Director of Conservatory Media Relations Oberlin Conservatory of Music 39 West College Street Oberlin, OH 44074 Tel: 440-775-8328 Fax: 440-775-5457 marci.janas at oberlin.edu www.oberlin.edu/con Marci Janas Director of Conservatory Media Relations Oberlin Conservatory of Music 39 West College Street Oberlin, OH 44074 Tel: 440-775-8328 Fax: 440-775-5457 marci.janas at oberlin.edu www.oberlin.edu/con Marci Janas Director of Conservatory Media Relations Oberlin Conservatory of Music 39 West College Street Oberlin, OH 44074 Tel: 440-775-8328 Fax: 440-775-5457 marci.janas at oberlin.edu www.oberlin.edu/con= --Boundary_(ID_/bQKsjo1FD6E4U+2tTrR+A) Content-type: text/enriched; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-transfer-encoding: quoted-printable Content-disposition: inline PalatinoFOU= R OBERLIN CONSERVATORY STUDENTS WIN CONCERTO = COMPETITIONTimes New Roman Palatino FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: MEDIA CONTACT: = Marci Janas December 4, 2003 = 440-0000,0000,00ff775-8328//marci.janas at o= berlin.edu = 0000,0000,00ff OBERLIN, OHIO -- Prokofiev was the composer of the hour -- and the = lucky charm -- at the Oberlin Conservatory of Music's 2003 Concerto = Competition, held Saturday, Oct. 11, in Finney Chapel.

Making Your Craft Complete

a FREE seminar Wednesday, December 10th, with Robert Patterson

In the early part of the last century, the Group Theatre revolutionized the American theatre by incorporating a form of training based on the system of Constantin Stanislavski. The Group became a huge commercial success, and generated some of the greatest acting teachers of the 20^th century: Lee Strasberg, Stella Adler, Robert Lewis, and most importantly Sanford Meisner.

But even in it's triumphs, the 'system' was evolving, and competing schools of thought emerged. Stella Adler and Sanford Meisner broke from Strasberg's psychological "method" after finding from Stanislavski that the system had grown from its earlier incarnation. She began teaching classes of her own and incorporated the new innovations, and Meisner formulated and began to teach "the reality of doing"-a new "technique." It was a tangible, teachable approach- it was the next great step in the evolution of the training of actors.

Throughout the last century, and up until today, these diverse traditions handed down from Stanislavski, the Group, and its offspring, have been taught to generations of actors.

And today

The teachers of "method-oriented" training claim to pass on the psychological techniques of Strasberg garnered from "25 years of study" with Strasberg himself. But does it take 25 years of STUDY to learn (or teach) any other craft besides acting?

Some studios have faculty that "are primarily performing artists," and I am sure that they are committed performing artists. But are they committed Master Teachers?

Even teachers of the "Meisner technique" have become academic, with certificate programs to award anyone who wishes to learn from his prot?g?s. I am sure these diverse personalities pass on as best as possible what each of them recalls, but where is the next step? Where is the next revolution?

Isn't there a Master Teacher who has built upon the venerable work of these Great Master Teachers--evolving, revolutionizing, and completing the craft?

 Yes. And Wednesday, December 10th at 6:00pm

Robert Patterson describes his REVOLUTIONARY and COMPLETE approach for the training of actors in this FREE one hour seminar.

Stanislavski conceived of a system,

 Sanford Meisner shaped it into a teachable approach,

 Robert Patterson has developed it into a complete craft.

The Work that is taught at The Robert Patterson Studio IS the new revolution for training in the craft of Acting. Robert Patterson's complete approach is the result of thirty years of teaching and is as revolutionary as the Group was 70 years ago. This is not "technique" from a year of basic exercises and a year of character work, after which a student applies his bag of tricks for life; this is acting as a complete craft, learned as one continuous action. When the student finishes, the work is then applied to a role as one continuous action leaving no "acting problems," no holes, and no questions. It is called The Work, because it is just that--it is the way an actor works. And it is complete.

This off-the-wall comedy is a ball of energy with more twists and turns than can be easily explained on paper. Adding to the absurdity of this comedy is the fact that the twins in Dobama?s production will be played by real-life siblings Tyson and Tyler Postma. Sebastian Bliss (Tyson Postma) and his twin sister, Bernadette Dixon (Tyler Postma), reunite after several years at their mother's funeral, after she was killed by an errant showerhead. Bernadette can barely stop weeping, while her brother is merely irritated by her display of emotion. Sebastian attends therapy sessions with Dr. Hillary MacMahon (Juliette Regnier*, who also plays Miranda Bliss), and when he announces his intention to leave therapy, she injures herself over it. Bernadette's husband, Kip (Sean Derry), decides to give up dentistry and become an artist. Sebastian's only real contact with people is in the form of letters he writes to a convicted murderer, Dylan (Jeff Staron, who also plays Roger). Sebastian brings home a prostitute and ends up with his throat cut. As he lies bleeding, his mother? s ghost visits him. Mother and son reveal secrets they couldn't tell while Mother lived. ?Raised in Captivity is about guilt, redemption and self-punishment, and, against all odds, it is also very funny.? ?

Message-ID: Two special events coming up in conjuntion with CPT's production of MRS. BOB CRATCHIT'S WILD CHRISTMAS BINGE! Sunday, December 7: Mrs. Bob Cratchit's Wild Xmas Party It?s her party, she can binge if she wants to! Mrs. Bob Cratchit, CPT, and Union Station Video Caf? invite you to this special holiday event in support CPT?s artistic programs and operations. It starts at 3:00 p.m. with a special matinee performance of MRS. BOB CRACHIT'S WILD CHRISTMAS BINGE, the latest comedy from Obie award winner Christopher Durang. Immediately following the performance in CPT?s Gordon Square Theatre, Mrs. Bob Cratchit will greet patrons for a holiday party at Union Station Video Caf? as part of their Showtunes theme night. In the style of the show, the cast of MRS. BOB CRATCHIT'S WILD CHRISTMAS BINGE will continue the entertainment with a cabaret-style act, and USVC will feature appetizers and cash bar. In addition, there will be a unique single-item live auction, to be revealed at the party. Join Mrs. Bob Cratchit, the Fezziwigs, Kenneth Lay, Ebeenezer Scrooge, George Bailey, and the rest of the Cratchit Family for a unique holiday party to benefit this Detroit-Shoreway area non-profit cultural organization. Sunday, December 7, 2003 3:00 p.m. performance, Mrs. Bob Cratchit?s Wild Christmas Binge at CPT?s Gordon Square Theatre 6415 Detroit Ave. at W. 65th Street Party Immediately Following at Union Station Video Caf? 2814 Detroit Ave. Tickets are $35 ($20 tax deductible) CPT is proud to partner with its neighbor Union Station Video Caf? throughout its 2003-04 season. USVC is a sponsor of MRS. BOB CRATCHIT'S WILD CHRISTMAS BINGE. A restaurant and video caf? located in the historic Ohio City neighborhood, USVC is celebrating its second anniversary. The complex also features Bounce, a dance club and bar with state-of-the-art sound and light systems. Bounce brings in nationally known DJs, and the complex includes Pumps, a special cabaret room for live shows. At USVC/Bounce/Pumps, patrons can enjoy music, videos, dinner, cocktails, pool, drag entertainment, and specialty shows almost every night of the week. USVC is located at 2814 Detroit Ave. CPT is located five minutes down the street at 6415 Detroit Ave. Ample parking is available at both locations. Saturday, December 13 and 20: Hungarian Holiday Binge In conjunction with its holiday production of Christopher Durang?s new comedy, MRS. BOB CRATCHIT'S WILD CHRISTMAS BINGE, executive director James Levin and artistic director Randy Rollison are proud to present the Hungarian Holiday Binge, December 13 and 20, 2003, in CPT?s new rehearsal hall. This special evening includes dinner at 6:00 p.m., followed by the 8:00 p.m. performance of MRS. BOB CRATCHIT'S WILD CHRISTMAS BINGE next door in the Gordon Square Theatre. Dinner includes a homestyle Hungarian feast created by chef Attila Salka of the Schnitzel Company. This dinner and theatre package is $55. ?It?s the season to get together with family and friends to celebrate, and we thought it would be fun to take our holiday production one step further by offering a special dinner package,? says Rollison. Indeed, Mrs. Bob Cratchit?s Wild Christmas Binge pokes fun at holiday meals as only Obie award winner Durang can do. The Cratchit family has only one good meal a year, but this Christmas meal does not turn out as expected, thanks to their family chef and Ebeenezer Scrooge. However, with the Hungarian Holiday Binge, patrons can expect a delicious menu of weiner schnitzel, mashed potatoes, green peas, house salad, cherry strudel, beer and Hungarian wine. Chef Attila Salka, no stranger to delicious Hungarian cooking, was born in Transylvania, and grew up around the restaurant business. Salka assisted his mother, who ran a restaurant in their native Hungary for 21 years. He attended culinary school in Debreceu, Hungary, focusing on the culinary arts as well as restaurant and hotel management. Salka also has a degree in German, and speaks four languages fluently. He currently runs the catering at St. Helena?s Church on W. 65th, a neighbor to CPT. Salka is working on opening his own catering business, the Schnitzel Company. The business will specialize in catering, focusing on Hungarian home-style cooking as well as fresh and frozen foods for purchase in stores. With Mrs. Bob Cratchit?s Wild Christmas Binge, Obie Award winner Durang takes on some of the holiday season?s sacred cows. Gladys Cratchit has had it. There are 21 foundlings in the basement and that whiney Tiny Tim just won?t shut up. One day she flips, takes to drink and tries to throw herself off a bridge. Sound familiar? Meanwhile, Ebenezzer Scrooge gets a visit from the Ghost of Christmases Past, Present, and Future, and a life lesson is not far around the corner. However, it seems something is wrong with the Ghost?s abilities to do her job, and she and Scrooge go on a humorous ride that lets several classic holiday tales have it. Although this play with music is based on A Christmas Carol, it quickly spins out of control, colliding with It?s a Wonderful Life and The Gift of the Magi. Christopher Durang is a playwright whose plays include A History of the American Film (Tony nomination), Sister Mary Ignatius Explains It All For You (Obie award), Beyond Therapy, Baby with the Bathwater, The Marriage of Bette and Boo (Obie award), Laughing Wild, Durang/Durang, and Betty?s Summer Vacation (1999 Obie award). He?s acted in his own plays, in movies, and performed in the Sondheim revue Putting It Together at the Manhattan Theatre Club starring Julie Andrews. In the early 80s he and Sigourney Weaver performed in and co-wrote Das Lusitania Songspiel, a Brecht-Weill parody; and with John Augustine and Sherry Anderson he has performed his crackpot cabaret Chris Durang and Dawne various places, winning a Bistro Award. Most recent work: a musical Adrift in Macao, optioned for off-Bway; and a new play, Mrs. Bob Cratchit?s Wild Christmas Binge at City Theatre in Pittsburgh. Since 1994 he and Marsha Norman have been co-chairs of the Playwriting Program at the Juilliard School. He?s a member of the Dramatists Guild Council. MRS. BOB CRATCHIT'S WILD CHRISTMAS BINGE was commissioned and originally produced by City Theatre Company, Pittsburgh, PA. 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.

If your workplace has a lunchroom, large conference room, or ideally a small theater or stage we would like to bring our play to you ? free of charge to your employer. The performance will also be free to all who attend. The performances will run mid-February through early March and we will build our calendar according to availability. We will need to have commitment of specific dates by the holidays and will be happy to work with companies of all sizes and types. The play revolves around the world of real-estate sales, but the scenario could be applied to almost any modern work environment. The play does contain extremely strong language and is of an adult nature. For any explanation of content I would ask that you watch the film version starring Al Pacino, Jack Lemmon, and Kevin Spacey. If you are not familiar with the play we ask that you please read it or watch the film version before committing your workplace to this show. This project has awesome potential for bringing a high level, professional theatrical production out into the public in an accessible and poignant fashion. We would like performances to be free and open to the public as well as your co-workers and will work with your employer to facilitate any needs. We hope to expose a new potential audience to the power of live theater ? be it your co-workers or just interested Clevelanders. If you would like more information or simply would like to be added to our tour list please contact us at 216.781.9987 or info at charenton.org. We hope to work with you to bring great theater into our community.

In addition to the on air interview on Q104, Joe was interviewed by Scene Magazine, The Plain Dealer, The News Herald, and the Lorain Morning Journal. Look for those interviews in the coming weeks. Joe was able to get some CD's to the DJ's and Program Director at Q104, and we're asking for people to call and request the songs. Please be polite and try not to give the DJ's a hard time if you do decide to call - it's an uphill battle to get independent releases played on a major market station. If you ask nicely, though, it just might work.

Hong, who is 16 and from ChungJu in Korea, played Vieuxtemps' Concerto No. 5 for the finals, in which she competed with nine violinists for the top prizes. Her Paganini Caprice No. 5, Bach Sonata No. 3, and Wieniawski Caprice had lifted her out of the preliminary pool of 60 participants, and she played Waxman's Carmen Fantasy for the semifinals. One of the perks of being a top prizewinner was an invitation to perform at the competition's gala concert, held in Wieniawski Hall. She played the Waxman and the Wieniawski. "This competition is known as one of the bigger and more difficult international violin competitions, especially in the junior division," says Lee. "Many well-known European violinists -- Maxim Vengerov, for example -- have won the Wieniawski." Hong began her studies at Oberlin last year as Lee's private student; the two met in Korea three years ago. "She teaches me to find the music in myself," says Hong of her teacher. "Oberlin is a wonderful place to study music, especially with all of the artists who come here to perform." One of those artists, violinist Ida Haendel, who appeared in concert in November under the auspices of the Artist Recital Series, was herself a Wieniawski finalist, in 1935, at the tender age of seven. Hong was, understandably, in attendance at the concert and at Haendel's master class. The Wieniawski is not Hong's inaugural success. She won first prize in the 2000 I-Wha National Competition and in the 2001 Korean Times National Competition, both held in Seoul.

SUMMIT, PLAYHOUSE SQUARE AND CPT Roy Berko (Member, American Theatre Critics Association) --THE TIMES NEWSPAPERS-- Lorain County Times--Westlaker Times--Lakewood News Times--Olmsted-Fairview Times WORLD PREMIERE PRODUCTION AT ACTORS? SUMMIT It?s that time of year when theatres try to pull holiday entertainment out of the bag. Ensemble is running ?THE GIFT OF THE MAGI,? The Cleveland Play House has shipped in ?PLAID TIDINGS,? Great Lakes Theatre Festival has once again resurrected ?THE CHRISTMAS CAROL,? and Cleveland Public Theatre is featuring the farcical ?MRS. BOB CRATCHET?S WILD CHRISTMAS BINGE.? Actors? Summit, rather than do the tried and true, has ventured off into trying to create its own holiday gift to give and give again in the form of Wayne Turney?s attempt to adapt Charles Dickens? ?CRICKET ON THE HEARTH? into a musical. Transforming the novel ?CRICKET ON THE HEARTH? into a play is not a new task. It?s been attempted before. In most instances, the transformation hasn?t worked. Though Turney, musical creator Sebastian Anthony Birch and director MaryJo Alexander give it their all, the show?s world premiere doesn?t quite work either. The book itself presents complexities not easily overcome. It has an obvious conclusion and lacks the multi-level texturing that has made Dickens? ?OLIVER TWIST? work as the musical ?OLIVER.? It lacks humor or great drama. Alexander has paced the show well, creates attractive stage pictures, and has the cast basically on target in their portrayals. The problem isn?t hers. The problem is not Turney?s either. Rather than create new conceptual songs, Turney has relied on an operatic technique for the lyrics. He uses dialogue set to music. This allows the plot?s ideas to flow along, but doesn?t give the audience the sound it is used to hearing in musicals. Most modern musicals have songs which have verses followed by a chorus. This allows for familiarity with the repeated sounds and words. Think "Food, Glorious Food" from the musical ?OLIVER? based on Dickens? "OLIVER TWIST." In addition, the show?s songs don?t allow for ease of listening. Birch?s music is also sometimes hard to warm up to. Much of the music is atonal, and the singers often appear to be singing one tune while the musical accompaniment sounds like it is playing a different melody. A repeated bell sound, a musical thread running through most of the music fits the time of the year, but becomes piercing after hearing it over and over again. The cast is generally acceptable. The characterizations were clear. Especially effective were Greg Violand as the older love-struck husband, Wayne Turney as Dickens, who narrates the show; Neil Thackaberry, as the mean Tackleton who eventually, as does Scrooge in ?CHRISTMAS CAROL,? softens into a nice guy. The singing voices aren?t all strong. This is especially obvious in the choral segments. Several of the cast had trouble in the higher ranges. CAPSULE JUDGEMENT: ?CRICKET ON THE HEARTH? is a work-in-progress. Whether it will ever turn into a holiday favorite is questionable, but Actors? Summit deserves credit for trying something new rather than giving us one more repeat of tired traditional holiday material. ?CRICKET ON THE HEARTH? plays through December 21 at Actors? Summit?s wonderfully intimate theatre-in-the-three-quarter round. For tickets call 330-342-0800 or visit on-line to actorssummit.org. The company?s next play is Michael Frayn?s drama COPENHAGEN which runs from January 8-25. ?THE NUTCRACKER? DISAPPOINTS AT THE ALLEN THEATRE When the Cleveland-San Jose Ballet fled the North Coast for the warmer climes of California, it took with it their version of ?THE NUTCRACKER,? one of the area?s long time holiday traditions. Playhouse Square Center, in need of a holiday offering, for several seasons brought in the delightful Radio City Rockettes and their holiday program. This year, as part of their Rainbow Babies and Children?s Hospital Ballet Season 2003-2004, the decision was made to bring in the highly touted Pennsylvania Ballet with their ?NUTCRACKER.? No one who saw the CSJB version will ever mistake what the Pennsylvania Ballet presented as its equal. Yes, the sets, the costumes and the music were wonderful, but there was a lack of magic on stage. This production, with a cast mainly made up of children and youth, lacked the delight and the compelling charm necessary to truly bring to life George Balanchine?s wonderful choreography. Because of the abilities of the youth, there was a lot of walking and little real dancing. Rather than having the likes of Raymond Rodriquez and Karen Gabay dancing the Little Prince and Princess, we had two pre-teens walking around the stage. In the second act, in place of the Little Prince?s wonderful dance solo we had a young boy standing in the middle of the stage pantomiming the story that enfolded in the first act. As the little girl seated next to me asked aloud, "What?s he doing?" The fight sequences between the mice and the wooden soldiers, which usually brings squeals of delight from the children in the audience, lacked creativity. The children who played wooden soldiers walked, they didn?t march or dance and the huge mice were less than entertaining. Even the adult dancers were no more than competent. The Snowflake sequence lacked enchantment, even though the lighting and the falling snow cast the right spell. There is a wonderful dance sequence near the end of the ballet in which we see the Sugarplum Fair and her Cavalier cavort. Dede Barfield and Alexei Borovik showed no emotional connection. Borovik?s flying leaps, which, if properly done usually bring gasps of joy from an audience were met with mild applause. He failed to get much lift or execute the movements parallel to the speed of the music. Barfield?s toe-work, especially in the sequence when she was pulled across the stage by her partner to imitate an ice-skating effect was fine, but there was a lack of fire in her moves. CAPSULE JUDGEMENT: Pennsylvania Ballet?s ?THE NUTCRACKER? lacked magic. Kids are cute, but ballet requires dancers, proficient dancers. As the ballet ended, I glanced over at the velvet dressed young lady next to me, now fast asleep in her father?s arms. All I could think was, "Dennis Nahat and the Cleveland San Jose Ballet, where are you now that we need you?" ?MRS. BOB CRATCHIT?S WILD CHRISTMAS BINGE? COULD DELIGHT YOU AT CPT On stage there is Scrooge, Tiny Tim, Bob Cratchit, Ghost of Christmas Past, Ghost of Christmas Present, Ghost of Christmas Future. It?s obvious that you?re seeing Dicken?s ?CHRISTMAS CAROL.? Wait, there are scenes from ?OLIVER TWIST,? ?IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE? AND ?THE OLD CURIOSITY SHOP.? Throw in references to ?PETER PAN? and ?MY FRIEND FLICKA.? No, this is definitely not ?CHRISTMAS CAROL.? Let?s look at this a little closer. The ghost who visits Scrooge just can?t get things right. Mrs. Bob Cratchit (did you know her name was Gladys?) is unhappy with everyone and everything in her life. Her breaking point comes when Bob arrives with their 21st foundling. She wants to go to a bar, down a few Tequila Surprises and jump off the London Bridge. Imagine her relief to find that she is simply placed in the wrong time period and is Scrooge's soul mate. In playwright Christopher Durang?s hands, Scrooge?s famous line "Bah Humbug" isn?t just a casual dismissal of Christmas joy, it?s seasonal Tourette?s Syndrome. Eventually everything is eventually rectified by the Ghost of all three Christmases. The CPT production, under the direction of Randy Rollison, is often funny, often hilarious, but also misses some of the laughs due to poor line interpretation. The singing also covers the broad realm of possibilities...some of the voices are wonderful, others are off-key. Meg Chamberlain is outstanding as Gladys Cratchit. Dan Kilbane is a delightful 6-foot Tiny Tim who trips and falls with ease while looking like a grinning idiot who is in an advertisement for laser tooth polishing. David Hansen is properly clueless as Bob Cratchit. Nina Dominque is inconsistent as The Ghosts. Her singing voice lacks polish and her line interpretation varies from excellent to unbelievable. The children in the cast needed more directoral assistance to aid them to stay in character. CAPSULE JUDGEMENT: If you aren?t in the right mood...silly; aren?t willing to set aside some amateur production qualities; and think that Christmas is a sincere holiday, then you?ll be turned off by ?MRS. BOB CRATCHIT?S WILD CHRISTMAS BINGE.? On the other hand, if you've seen one too many productions of ?A CHRISTMAS CAROL? and, upon hearing Tiny Tim optimistically proclaim "God bless us every one!?" you wish someone would expose him for the attention-grabbing urchin he is, get in your sleigh and go see the Cleveland Public Theatre?s production of ?MRS. BOB CRATCHIT?S WILD CHRISTMAS BINGE.? The show runs until December 20 at the theatre which is located at 6415 Detroit Avenue.

Message-ID: <2782EEE6.1331C5D8.020C1D99@aol.com> To help you all get in the holiday spirit and get prepared for your various Christmas performances, I invite all of you to come to the Medieval Feasts at Trinity Cathedral! The theme for this year's feast is the exotic 14th century Venice and it is taking place Friday, December 12 at 7:00 p.m. at East 22nd and Euclid Ave. The evening opens with a spiced wine and cider reception in Cathedral Hall and then travels to the beautiful Trinity Cathedral. Throughout the evening you can enjoy a seven-course meal (vegetarian meals are available) and all the punch, red/white wine and beer you can drink! To make the evening even more fun - most guests come in period costume (take out your old medieval fair outfits and have a blast!) and enjoy an early music ensemble, a fortuneteller, a magician and much more. So please call Music & Performing Arts at Trinity Cathedral (M&PA) right now - 216/579-9745 - and you can make a reservation with me or with any of the other office staff. We are also extending a $15 discount to all NEOhioPAL members and friends. So for four hours of fun, all the booze you can drink and free, close parking, tickets are only $35. Thank you for reading this far and I hope to see you there, it honestly is a lot of fun. It's so much fun to be surrounded by 200 people in medieval gowns and armor playing the part of medieval folk. It is also an important fundraiser for M&PA, a downtown presenting/producing performing arts group, which is under financial stress like many of your organizations. Hope to see you there!

CLEVELAND - The North Coast Men?s Chorus, Cleveland?s only gay men?s chorus will open its 2003 ? 2004 Season with two performances of ?Sugar Plum Fairies? at 8:00 PM Saturday, December 20 and 3:00 PM Sunday, December 21 in Waetjen Auditorium at Cleveland State University. The program for ?Sugar Plum Fairies? will touch the outrageous edge of holiday music and also includes old standards, such as a vibrant new arrangement of three traditional carols, ?I Saw Three Ships,? ? What Child Is This,? and ?God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen;? an ? capella arrangement of the ?Wassail Song,? and a deeply touching pair of Irving Berlin favorites. ?Island Santa? trades in the reindeer and sleigh for a little red boat powered by seahorses and The Coastliners (NCMC?s celebrated specialty ensemble) warns of the dangers of over indulging in chocolate with their unique interpretation of ?Bittersweet Tango.? As the title, ?Sugar Plum Faries? suggests, the centerpiece of the show will be a production of Tchaikovsky?s ?Nutcracker Suite? with lyrics written by Fred Waring and fully choreographed by Lora Workman in classical style . . . for men . . . in crinoline tutus. Throughout its history, a favorite element of the Chorus? holiday performances has been a sing-along. A few tiny reindeer and soloist, Robert Burian as Mrs. Claus, will lead this year?s. Not to be outdone by ?Queer Eye For The Straight Guy,? the NCMC?s own Fab Five have targeted none other than Santa, himself for a dramatic makeover.

North Coast Men?s Chorus Presents ?Sugar Plum Fairies?

CLEVELAND - The North Coast Men?s Chorus, Cleveland?s only gay men?s chorus will open its 2003 ? 2004 Season with two performances of ?Sugar Plum Fairies? at 8:00 PM Saturday, December 20 and 3:00 PM Sunday, December 21 in Waetjen Auditorium at Cleveland State University.

The program for ?Sugar Plum Fairies? will touch the outrageous edge of holiday music and also includes old standards, such as a vibrant new arrangement of three traditional carols, ?I Saw Three Ships,? ? What Child Is This,? and ?God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen;? an ? capella arrangement of the ?Wassail Song,? and a deeply touching pair of Irving Berlin favorites. ?Island Santa? trades in the reindeer and sleigh for a little red boat powered by seahorses and The Coastliners (NCMC?s celebrated specialty ensemble) warns of the dangers of over indulging in chocolate with their unique interpretation of ?Bittersweet Tango.?

As the title, ?Sugar Plum Faries? suggests, the centerpiece of the show will be a production of Tchaikovsky?s ?Nutcracker Suite? with lyrics written by Fred Waring and fully choreographed by Lora Workman in classical style . . . for men . . . in crinoline tutus.

Throughout its history, a favorite element of the Chorus? holiday performances has been a sing-along. A few tiny reindeer and soloist, Robert Burian as Mrs. Claus, will lead this year?s. Not to be outdone by ?Queer Eye For The Straight Guy,? the NCMC?s own Fab Five have targeted none other than Santa, himself for a dramatic makeover.

Under the leadership of Music Director Richard Cole nearly 100 men will take the stage with its annual Holiday offering. Cole assumed his current position of Music Director in 1998. Since then, the Chorus has grown five fold. Members attribute the growth to Cole?s drive to continually challenge the chorus in terms of technical ability, showmanship, and pushing the envelope of outrageous humor.

Dickens' lovely little novella plays out on the Actors' Summit stage this holiday season, adapted by Cleveland-area playwright and Renaissance man Wayne Turney. A frequent performer with Actors' Summit, Turney has adapted Oedipus and Tartuffe for previous productions at the professional Hudson theater. The Cricket on the Hearth, a welcome new offering amid Northeast Ohio's holiday fare, is much sweeter and lighter than A Christmas Carol. In the hands of Actors' Summit's skilled group of actors, the story never becomes sickeningly sweet. Even actor Thomas Cummings carries off ``chirruping'' like a cricket without seeming silly. This story of hearth and home has a simple message: Love is found at home. The magical creature of the cricket -- which presides over all domestic tranquility -- is a symbol of God. Wonderful performances are provided by darling actresses Kelly Pekar -- who plays the irresistible little young mother Dot -- and Hannah DelMonte as the kind-hearted blind girl, Bertha. Pekar has a surprisingly mature singing voice and excellent acting ability for a high school senior. DelMonte, also a high school senior, has a splendid voice, too. Both have done professional work throughout Northeast Ohio. Most of the show's humor stems from Neil Thackaberry as the gruff toy seller Tackleton, and Wayne Turney as the merry, eccentric toy maker Caleb. Thackaberry is almost violently grumpy as his Scrooge-like character. And Turney, who has written the book and lyrics for this show, switches expertly between playing Dickens and Caleb. This is a delightful holiday story. To use the words of author Turney, Dickens' ``enchanting language'' rings forth on the Actors' Summit stage. The problem with this show is the difficult, digitally recorded score. It's often so complex, the accompaniment leaves several cast members out on a limb, searching for their pitches. The score is a major project composed by Kent State University Stark Campus professor Sebastian Birch just for this world premiere musical. But even singers like Greg Violand (John), who has sung with the Cleveland Opera, had trouble opening night adapting to its complexities. The accompaniment includes flute, oboe, strings, piano and more. The loveliest Christmas sounds of all, used throughout most of the tunes, are bells. At times, the recorded accompaniment overpowers the singing onstage and the incongruity is painfully obvious. In other songs, the lyrics are repetitive and the pieces drag on for too long. Some of the tunes have three or four melodies going at once, making the piece sound like something from an operetta. But these arrangements aren't sung accurately enough for the lyrics to be easily understood and enjoyable. Because the music isn't the strongest part of this show, it would have been better to keep the songs simpler and fewer. One can only hope that the coordination between the singing and recorded accompaniment will gel better as the run of The Cricket on the Hearth continues. The only singers who didn't have any trouble with pitch opening night were Pekar and DelMonte. Musical highlights included a sweet love ballad between Dot and John, When I See You Look at Me, and the cast's oddly jolly Oxymoronic Paradox about the toy seller who hates children. This song fleshes out Tackleton's Scrooge-like character well before we've met him Also wonderful is No Higher Calling, a sweet duet between Caleb and Bertha that extols the joys of creating toys that make little ones smile. Despite some of this show's musical weaknesses, The Cricket on the Hearth is a merry performance that's worth seeing. The story includes several satisfying revelations as well as one very well-constructed surprise, guaranteed to instill wonder.

This off-the-wall comedy is a ball of energy full of twists and turns. Adding to the absurdity of this comedy is the fact that the twins in Dobama?s production will be played by real-life twins Tyson and Tyler Postma. Sebastian Bliss (Tyson Postma) and his twin sister, Bernadette Dixon (Tyler Postma), reunite after several years at their mother's funeral, after she was killed by an errant showerhead. Bernadette can barely stop weeping, while her brother is merely irritated by her display of emotion. Sebastian attends therapy sessions with Dr. Hillary MacMahon (Juliette Regnier*, who also plays Miranda Bliss), and when he announces his intention to leave therapy, she injures herself over it. Bernadette's husband, Kip (Sean Derry), decides to give up dentistry and become an artist. Sebastian's only real contact with people is in the form of letters he writes to a convicted murderer, Dylan (Jeff Staron, who also plays Roger). Sebastian brings home a prostitute and ends up with his throat cut. As he lies bleeding, his mother? s ghost visits him. Mother and son reveal secrets they couldn't tell while Mother lived. ?Raised in Captivity is about guilt, redemption and self-punishment, and, against all odds, it is also very funny.? ? The New York Times featuring Sean Derry, Juliette Regnier*, Tyler Postma*, Tyson Postma and Jeff Staron *member Actors?

Tenor Arthur Espiritu, an artist diploma candidate and a native of Rizal, Philippines, studies with Professor of Singing Richard Miller. Pianist Scott Meek '05, of Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, is a student of Associate Professor of Piano Alvin Chow. Taisiya Pushkar '04, born in Kishinev, Moldova, now living in Brooklyn, New York, studies with Professor of Piano Lydia Frumkin. Espiritu, the non-Prokofiev winner, performed Mozart's aria Misero!

Rounding out the Prokofiev season, Pushkar will play his Concerto No. 1 with the Oberlin Orchestra, conducted by Steven Smith, May 9. This concert, = which will also be broadcast live on WCLV, includes Stravinsky's Symphony of Psalms, performed by Oberlin's Musical Union, conducted by Hugh Floyd, and Charles Ives' Symphony No. 4. As in previous years, according to Dean of the Conservatory Robert Dodson, "the level of talent was such that the process of choosing only four finalists was a challenging one. The judges, however, acquitted themselves admirably in the task." Each year the competition jury is composed of one faculty member from each performance division, one faculty member from a non-performance division, and an external adjudicator. This year's judges were Professor of Composition and Music Theory Randolph Coleman; Assistant Professor of Clarinet Richard Hawkins; Assistant Professor of Violin Kyung Sun Lee; Associate Professor of Singing Lorraine Manz; Professor of Piano Peter Tak=E0cs; Associate Professor of Conducting and Music Director of the Oberlin Orchestras Steven Smith; and, returning for his second stint as juror, Robert Sherman, host of the McGraw-Hill Companies'Young Artists Showcase on WQXR, the classical music radio station = of the New York Times. "It was wonderfully encouraging to encounter one fine talent after another, = to hear a parade of performances that projected confidence, assurance, and deep musical understanding," says Sherman. "Good for all of these student artists, and bravo to their Oberlin mentors as well." The Oberlin Conservatory of Music, founded in 1865, became part of Oberlin College in 1867. It is the oldest, continuously operating conservatory in the United States, and is renowned internationally as a professional music school of the highest caliber situated within the intellectual vitality of a liberal arts college. ### Media Contact Only: Marci Janas 440-775-8328/marci.janas at oberlin.edu 12/4/03 #28mj Marci Janas Director of Conservatory Media Relations Oberlin Conservatory of Music 39 West College Street Oberlin, OH 44074 Tel: 440-775-8328 Fax: 440-775-5457 marci.janas at oberlin.edu www.oberlin.edu/con Marci Janas Director of Conservatory Media Relations Oberlin Conservatory of Music 39 West College Street Oberlin, OH 44074 Tel: 440-775-8328 Fax: 440-775-5457 marci.janas at oberlin.edu www.oberlin.edu/con Marci Janas Director of Conservatory Media Relations Oberlin Conservatory of Music 39 West College Street Oberlin, OH 44074 Tel: 440-775-8328 Fax: 440-775-5457 marci.janas at oberlin.edu www.oberlin.edu/con= --Boundary_(ID_/bQKsjo1FD6E4U+2tTrR+A) Content-type: text/enriched; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-transfer-encoding: quoted-printable Content-disposition: inline PalatinoFOU= R OBERLIN CONSERVATORY STUDENTS WIN CONCERTO = COMPETITIONTimes New Roman Palatino FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: MEDIA CONTACT: = Marci Janas December 4, 2003 = 440-0000,0000,00ff775-8328//marci.janas at o= berlin.edu = 0000,0000,00ff OBERLIN, OHIO -- Prokofiev was the composer of the hour -- and the = lucky charm -- at the Oberlin Conservatory of Music's 2003 Concerto = Competition, held Saturday, Oct. 11, in Finney Chapel.

Making Your Craft Complete

a FREE seminar Wednesday, December 10th, with Robert Patterson

In the early part of the last century, the Group Theatre revolutionized the American theatre by incorporating a form of training based on the system of Constantin Stanislavski. The Group became a huge commercial success, and generated some of the greatest acting teachers of the 20^th century: Lee Strasberg, Stella Adler, Robert Lewis, and most importantly Sanford Meisner.

But even in it's triumphs, the 'system' was evolving, and competing schools of thought emerged. Stella Adler and Sanford Meisner broke from Strasberg's psychological "method" after finding from Stanislavski that the system had grown from its earlier incarnation. She began teaching classes of her own and incorporated the new innovations, and Meisner formulated and began to teach "the reality of doing"-a new "technique." It was a tangible, teachable approach- it was the next great step in the evolution of the training of actors.

Throughout the last century, and up until today, these diverse traditions handed down from Stanislavski, the Group, and its offspring, have been taught to generations of actors.

And today

The teachers of "method-oriented" training claim to pass on the psychological techniques of Strasberg garnered from "25 years of study" with Strasberg himself. But does it take 25 years of STUDY to learn (or teach) any other craft besides acting?

Some studios have faculty that "are primarily performing artists," and I am sure that they are committed performing artists. But are they committed Master Teachers?

Even teachers of the "Meisner technique" have become academic, with certificate programs to award anyone who wishes to learn from his prot?g?s. I am sure these diverse personalities pass on as best as possible what each of them recalls, but where is the next step? Where is the next revolution?

Isn't there a Master Teacher who has built upon the venerable work of these Great Master Teachers--evolving, revolutionizing, and completing the craft?

 Yes. And Wednesday, December 10th at 6:00pm

Robert Patterson describes his REVOLUTIONARY and COMPLETE approach for the training of actors in this FREE one hour seminar.

Stanislavski conceived of a system,

 Sanford Meisner shaped it into a teachable approach,

 Robert Patterson has developed it into a complete craft.

The Work that is taught at The Robert Patterson Studio IS the new revolution for training in the craft of Acting. Robert Patterson's complete approach is the result of thirty years of teaching and is as revolutionary as the Group was 70 years ago. This is not "technique" from a year of basic exercises and a year of character work, after which a student applies his bag of tricks for life; this is acting as a complete craft, learned as one continuous action. When the student finishes, the work is then applied to a role as one continuous action leaving no "acting problems," no holes, and no questions.

For Immediate Release: Contact: Marjorie Preston, Dobama Theatre PR/Marketing, (216) 932-6838 Email: mpreston at dobama.org Web Site: www.dobama.org DOBAMA presents the OHIO PREMIERE of Raised in Captivity By Nicky Silver Directed by Russ Borski January 16 - February 8 Dobama Theatre proudly presents the Ohio premiere of Nicky Silver?s Raised in Captivity. This off-the-wall comedy is a ball of energy with more twists and turns than can be easily explained on paper. Adding to the absurdity of this comedy is the fact that the twins in Dobama?s production will be played by real-life siblings Tyson and Tyler Postma. Sebastian Bliss (Tyson Postma) and his twin sister, Bernadette Dixon (Tyler Postma), reunite after several years at their mother's funeral, after she was killed by an errant showerhead. Bernadette can barely stop weeping, while her brother is merely irritated by her display of emotion. Sebastian attends therapy sessions with Dr. Hillary MacMahon (Juliette Regnier*, who also plays Miranda Bliss), and when he announces his intention to leave therapy, she injures herself over it. Bernadette's husband, Kip (Sean Derry), decides to give up dentistry and become an artist. Sebastian's only real contact with people is in the form of letters he writes to a convicted murderer, Dylan (Jeff Staron, who also plays Roger). Sebastian brings home a prostitute and ends up with his throat cut. As he lies bleeding, his mother? s ghost visits him. Mother and son reveal secrets they couldn't tell while Mother lived. ?Raised in Captivity is about guilt, redemption and self-punishment, and, against all odds, it is also very funny.? ? The New York Times featuring Sean Derry, Juliette Regnier*, Tyler Postma*, Tyson Postma and Jeff Staron *member Actors? Equity Association Performances: January 16 - February 8 Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 8:00 p.m. Sunday 1/18 at 7:30 p.m.; 1/25, 2/1 and 2/8 at 2:30 p.m. Tickets $11-$20 Information: (216) 932-6838.

Message-ID: Two special events coming up in conjuntion with CPT's production of MRS. BOB CRATCHIT'S WILD CHRISTMAS BINGE! Sunday, December 7: Mrs. Bob Cratchit's Wild Xmas Party It?s her party, she can binge if she wants to! Mrs. Bob Cratchit, CPT, and Union Station Video Caf? invite you to this special holiday event in support CPT?s artistic programs and operations. It starts at 3:00 p.m. with a special matinee performance of MRS. BOB CRACHIT'S WILD CHRISTMAS BINGE, the latest comedy from Obie award winner Christopher Durang. Immediately following the performance in CPT?s Gordon Square Theatre, Mrs. Bob Cratchit will greet patrons for a holiday party at Union Station Video Caf? as part of their Showtunes theme night. In the style of the show, the cast of MRS. BOB CRATCHIT'S WILD CHRISTMAS BINGE will continue the entertainment with a cabaret-style act, and USVC will feature appetizers and cash bar. In addition, there will be a unique single-item live auction, to be revealed at the party. Join Mrs. Bob Cratchit, the Fezziwigs, Kenneth Lay, Ebeenezer Scrooge, George Bailey, and the rest of the Cratchit Family for a unique holiday party to benefit this Detroit-Shoreway area non-profit cultural organization. Sunday, December 7, 2003 3:00 p.m. performance, Mrs. Bob Cratchit?s Wild Christmas Binge at CPT?s Gordon Square Theatre 6415 Detroit Ave. at W. 65th Street Party Immediately Following at Union Station Video Caf? 2814 Detroit Ave. Tickets are $35 ($20 tax deductible) CPT is proud to partner with its neighbor Union Station Video Caf? throughout its 2003-04 season. USVC is a sponsor of MRS. BOB CRATCHIT'S WILD CHRISTMAS BINGE. A restaurant and video caf? located in the historic Ohio City neighborhood, USVC is celebrating its second anniversary. The complex also features Bounce, a dance club and bar with state-of-the-art sound and light systems. Bounce brings in nationally known DJs, and the complex includes Pumps, a special cabaret room for live shows. At USVC/Bounce/Pumps, patrons can enjoy music, videos, dinner, cocktails, pool, drag entertainment, and specialty shows almost every night of the week. USVC is located at 2814 Detroit Ave. CPT is located five minutes down the street at 6415 Detroit Ave. Ample parking is available at both locations. Saturday, December 13 and 20: Hungarian Holiday Binge In conjunction with its holiday production of Christopher Durang?s new comedy, MRS. BOB CRATCHIT'S WILD CHRISTMAS BINGE, executive director James Levin and artistic director Randy Rollison are proud to present the Hungarian Holiday Binge, December 13 and 20, 2003, in CPT?s new rehearsal hall. This special evening includes dinner at 6:00 p.m., followed by the 8:00 p.m. performance of MRS. BOB CRATCHIT'S WILD CHRISTMAS BINGE next door in the Gordon Square Theatre. Dinner includes a homestyle Hungarian feast created by chef Attila Salka of the Schnitzel Company. This dinner and theatre package is $55. ?It?s the season to get together with family and friends to celebrate, and we thought it would be fun to take our holiday production one step further by offering a special dinner package,? says Rollison. Indeed, Mrs. Bob Cratchit?s Wild Christmas Binge pokes fun at holiday meals as only Obie award winner Durang can do. The Cratchit family has only one good meal a year, but this Christmas meal does not turn out as expected, thanks to their family chef and Ebeenezer Scrooge. However, with the Hungarian Holiday Binge, patrons can expect a delicious menu of weiner schnitzel, mashed potatoes, green peas, house salad, cherry strudel, beer and Hungarian wine. Chef Attila Salka, no stranger to delicious Hungarian cooking, was born in Transylvania, and grew up around the restaurant business. Salka assisted his mother, who ran a restaurant in their native Hungary for 21 years. He attended culinary school in Debreceu, Hungary, focusing on the culinary arts as well as restaurant and hotel management. Salka also has a degree in German, and speaks four languages fluently. He currently runs the catering at St. Helena?s Church on W. 65th, a neighbor to CPT. Salka is working on opening his own catering business, the Schnitzel Company. The business will specialize in catering, focusing on Hungarian home-style cooking as well as fresh and frozen foods for purchase in stores. With Mrs. Bob Cratchit?s Wild Christmas Binge, Obie Award winner Durang takes on some of the holiday season?s sacred cows. Gladys Cratchit has had it. There are 21 foundlings in the basement and that whiney Tiny Tim just won?t shut up. One day she flips, takes to drink and tries to throw herself off a bridge. Sound familiar? Meanwhile, Ebenezzer Scrooge gets a visit from the Ghost of Christmases Past, Present, and Future, and a life lesson is not far around the corner. However, it seems something is wrong with the Ghost?s abilities to do her job, and she and Scrooge go on a humorous ride that lets several classic holiday tales have it. Although this play with music is based on A Christmas Carol, it quickly spins out of control, colliding with It?s a Wonderful Life and The Gift of the Magi. Christopher Durang is a playwright whose plays include A History of the American Film (Tony nomination), Sister Mary Ignatius Explains It All For You (Obie award), Beyond Therapy, Baby with the Bathwater, The Marriage of Bette and Boo (Obie award), Laughing Wild, Durang/Durang, and Betty?s Summer Vacation (1999 Obie award). He?s acted in his own plays, in movies, and performed in the Sondheim revue Putting It Together at the Manhattan Theatre Club starring Julie Andrews. In the early 80s he and Sigourney Weaver performed in and co-wrote Das Lusitania Songspiel, a Brecht-Weill parody; and with John Augustine and Sherry Anderson he has performed his crackpot cabaret Chris Durang and Dawne various places, winning a Bistro Award. Most recent work: a musical Adrift in Macao, optioned for off-Bway; and a new play, Mrs. Bob Cratchit?s Wild Christmas Binge at City Theatre in Pittsburgh. Since 1994 he and Marsha Norman have been co-chairs of the Playwriting Program at the Juilliard School. He?s a member of the Dramatists Guild Council. MRS. BOB CRATCHIT'S WILD CHRISTMAS BINGE was commissioned and originally produced by City Theatre Company, Pittsburgh, PA. 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.

Bring Theater to Your Workplace! Message-ID: <1166.66.219.160.105.1070635401.squirrel@www.charenton.org> The Office Tour Wants to Come to You Help us bring theater to your workplace Charenton Theater Company is currently looking for locations for our touring production of David Mamet?s scathing satire of American business morality: Glengarry Glen Ross. If your workplace has a lunchroom, large conference room, or ideally a small theater or stage we would like to bring our play to you ? free of charge to your employer. The performance will also be free to all who attend. The performances will run mid-February through early March and we will build our calendar according to availability. We will need to have commitment of specific dates by the holidays and will be happy to work with companies of all sizes and types. The play revolves around the world of real-estate sales, but the scenario could be applied to almost any modern work environment. The play does contain extremely strong language and is of an adult nature. For any explanation of content I would ask that you watch the film version starring Al Pacino, Jack Lemmon, and Kevin Spacey. If you are not familiar with the play we ask that you please read it or watch the film version before committing your workplace to this show. This project has awesome potential for bringing a high level, professional theatrical production out into the public in an accessible and poignant fashion. We would like performances to be free and open to the public as well as your co-workers and will work with your employer to facilitate any needs. We hope to expose a new potential audience to the power of live theater ? be it your co-workers or just interested Clevelanders. If you would like more information or simply would like to be added to our tour list please contact us at 216.781.9987 or info at charenton.org. We hope to work with you to bring great theater into our community.

Hong, who is 16 and from ChungJu in Korea, played Vieuxtemps' Concerto No. 5 for the finals, in which she competed with nine violinists for the top prizes. Her Paganini Caprice No. 5, Bach Sonata No. 3, and Wieniawski Caprice had lifted her out of the preliminary pool of 60 participants, and she played Waxman's Carmen Fantasy for the semifinals. One of the perks of being a top prizewinner was an invitation to perform at the competition's gala concert, held in Wieniawski Hall. She played the Waxman and the Wieniawski. "This competition is known as one of the bigger and more difficult international violin competitions, especially in the junior division," says Lee. "Many well-known European violinists -- Maxim Vengerov, for example -- have won the Wieniawski." Hong began her studies at Oberlin last year as Lee's private student; the two met in Korea three years ago. "She teaches me to find the music in myself," says Hong of her teacher. "Oberlin is a wonderful place to study music, especially with all of the artists who come here to perform." One of those artists, violinist Ida Haendel, who appeared in concert in November under the auspices of the Artist Recital Series, was herself a Wieniawski finalist, in 1935, at the tender age of seven. Hong was, understandably, in attendance at the concert and at Haendel's master class. The Wieniawski is not Hong's inaugural success. She won first prize in the 2000 I-Wha National Competition and in the 2001 Korean Times National Competition, both held in Seoul. A 2001 graduate of the YeWon School of the Arts, she has performed as soloist with the Seoul Philharmonic and the Korean Symphony orchestras. # # # Marci Janas Director of Conservatory Media Relations Oberlin Conservatory of Music 39 West College Street Oberlin, OH 44074 Tel: 440-775-8328 Fax: 440-775-5457 marci.janas at oberlin.edu www.oberlin.edu/con --Boundary_(ID_Y267Gz/AvfRmozaJfQP4gQ) Content-type: text/enriched; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT Content-disposition: inline PalatinoOberlin Student Wins Third Prize at Prestigious Wieniawski International Violin Competition For Immediate Release: Media Contact: Marci Janas December 5, 2003 440-775-8328 OBERLIN, OHIO -- Ui-Youn Hong, a first-year violin performance major and a student of Assistant Professor of Violin Kyung Sun Lee, won third prize in the junior division of the Henryk Wieniawski International Violin Competition for Young Violinists, held in Lublin, Poland, in September.

Cassidy Theatre will produce Neil Simon's musical comedy "Little Me" and an additional audition date has been added.

A note from Director Robert Gibb -

Thanks to all who auditioned for "Little Me" - I was very pleased with the turnout and the talent!

I received messages from many interested people (over a dozen!) who were not able to make the previous auditions so we have scheduled one additional audition for Monday, December 15 at 7:00 p.m.

I hope to cast the show very quickly after that date.

SUMMIT, PLAYHOUSE SQUARE AND CPT Roy Berko (Member, American Theatre Critics Association) --THE TIMES NEWSPAPERS-- Lorain County Times--Westlaker Times--Lakewood News Times--Olmsted-Fairview Times WORLD PREMIERE PRODUCTION AT ACTORS? SUMMIT It?s that time of year when theatres try to pull holiday entertainment out of the bag. Ensemble is running ?THE GIFT OF THE MAGI,? The Cleveland Play House has shipped in ?PLAID TIDINGS,? Great Lakes Theatre Festival has once again resurrected ?THE CHRISTMAS CAROL,? and Cleveland Public Theatre is featuring the farcical ?MRS. BOB CRATCHET?S WILD CHRISTMAS BINGE.? Actors? Summit, rather than do the tried and true, has ventured off into trying to create its own holiday gift to give and give again in the form of Wayne Turney?s attempt to adapt Charles Dickens? ?CRICKET ON THE HEARTH? into a musical. Transforming the novel ?CRICKET ON THE HEARTH? into a play is not a new task. It?s been attempted before. In most instances, the transformation hasn?t worked. Though Turney, musical creator Sebastian Anthony Birch and director MaryJo Alexander give it their all, the show?s world premiere doesn?t quite work either. The book itself presents complexities not easily overcome. It has an obvious conclusion and lacks the multi-level texturing that has made Dickens? ?OLIVER TWIST? work as the musical ?OLIVER.? It lacks humor or great drama. Alexander has paced the show well, creates attractive stage pictures, and has the cast basically on target in their portrayals. The problem isn?t hers. The problem is not Turney?s either. Rather than create new conceptual songs, Turney has relied on an operatic technique for the lyrics. He uses dialogue set to music. This allows the plot?s ideas to flow along, but doesn?t give the audience the sound it is used to hearing in musicals. Most modern musicals have songs which have verses followed by a chorus. This allows for familiarity with the repeated sounds and words. Think "Food, Glorious Food" from the musical ?OLIVER? based on Dickens? "OLIVER TWIST." In addition, the show?s songs don?t allow for ease of listening. Birch?s music is also sometimes hard to warm up to. Much of the music is atonal, and the singers often appear to be singing one tune while the musical accompaniment sounds like it is playing a different melody. A repeated bell sound, a musical thread running through most of the music fits the time of the year, but becomes piercing after hearing it over and over again. The cast is generally acceptable. The characterizations were clear. Especially effective were Greg Violand as the older love-struck husband, Wayne Turney as Dickens, who narrates the show; Neil Thackaberry, as the mean Tackleton who eventually, as does Scrooge in ?CHRISTMAS CAROL,? softens into a nice guy. The singing voices aren?t all strong. This is especially obvious in the choral segments. Several of the cast had trouble in the higher ranges. CAPSULE JUDGEMENT: ?CRICKET ON THE HEARTH? is a work-in-progress. Whether it will ever turn into a holiday favorite is questionable, but Actors? Summit deserves credit for trying something new rather than giving us one more repeat of tired traditional holiday material. ?CRICKET ON THE HEARTH? plays through December 21 at Actors? Summit?s wonderfully intimate theatre-in-the-three-quarter round. For tickets call 330-342-0800 or visit on-line to actorssummit.org. The company?s next play is Michael Frayn?s drama COPENHAGEN which runs from January 8-25. ?THE NUTCRACKER? DISAPPOINTS AT THE ALLEN THEATRE When the Cleveland-San Jose Ballet fled the North Coast for the warmer climes of California, it took with it their version of ?THE NUTCRACKER,? one of the area?s long time holiday traditions. Playhouse Square Center, in need of a holiday offering, for several seasons brought in the delightful Radio City Rockettes and their holiday program. This year, as part of their Rainbow Babies and Children?s Hospital Ballet Season 2003-2004, the decision was made to bring in the highly touted Pennsylvania Ballet with their ?NUTCRACKER.? No one who saw the CSJB version will ever mistake what the Pennsylvania Ballet presented as its equal. Yes, the sets, the costumes and the music were wonderful, but there was a lack of magic on stage. This production, with a cast mainly made up of children and youth, lacked the delight and the compelling charm necessary to truly bring to life George Balanchine?s wonderful choreography. Because of the abilities of the youth, there was a lot of walking and little real dancing. Rather than having the likes of Raymond Rodriquez and Karen Gabay dancing the Little Prince and Princess, we had two pre-teens walking around the stage. In the second act, in place of the Little Prince?s wonderful dance solo we had a young boy standing in the middle of the stage pantomiming the story that enfolded in the first act. As the little girl seated next to me asked aloud, "What?s he doing?" The fight sequences between the mice and the wooden soldiers, which usually brings squeals of delight from the children in the audience, lacked creativity. The children who played wooden soldiers walked, they didn?t march or dance and the huge mice were less than entertaining. Even the adult dancers were no more than competent. The Snowflake sequence lacked enchantment, even though the lighting and the falling snow cast the right spell. There is a wonderful dance sequence near the end of the ballet in which we see the Sugarplum Fair and her Cavalier cavort. Dede Barfield and Alexei Borovik showed no emotional connection. Borovik?s flying leaps, which, if properly done usually bring gasps of joy from an audience were met with mild applause. He failed to get much lift or execute the movements parallel to the speed of the music. Barfield?s toe-work, especially in the sequence when she was pulled across the stage by her partner to imitate an ice-skating effect was fine, but there was a lack of fire in her moves. CAPSULE JUDGEMENT: Pennsylvania Ballet?s ?THE NUTCRACKER? lacked magic. Kids are cute, but ballet requires dancers, proficient dancers. As the ballet ended, I glanced over at the velvet dressed young lady next to me, now fast asleep in her father?s arms. All I could think was, "Dennis Nahat and the Cleveland San Jose Ballet, where are you now that we need you?" ?MRS. BOB CRATCHIT?S WILD CHRISTMAS BINGE? COULD DELIGHT YOU AT CPT On stage there is Scrooge, Tiny Tim, Bob Cratchit, Ghost of Christmas Past, Ghost of Christmas Present, Ghost of Christmas Future. It?s obvious that you?re seeing Dicken?s ?CHRISTMAS CAROL.? Wait, there are scenes from ?OLIVER TWIST,? ?IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE? AND ?THE OLD CURIOSITY SHOP.? Throw in references to ?PETER PAN? and ?MY FRIEND FLICKA.? No, this is definitely not ?CHRISTMAS CAROL.? Let?s look at this a little closer. The ghost who visits Scrooge just can?t get things right. Mrs. Bob Cratchit (did you know her name was Gladys?) is unhappy with everyone and everything in her life. Her breaking point comes when Bob arrives with their 21st foundling. She wants to go to a bar, down a few Tequila Surprises and jump off the London Bridge. Imagine her relief to find that she is simply placed in the wrong time period and is Scrooge's soul mate. In playwright Christopher Durang?s hands, Scrooge?s famous line "Bah Humbug" isn?t just a casual dismissal of Christmas joy, it?s seasonal Tourette?s Syndrome. Eventually everything is eventually rectified by the Ghost of all three Christmases. The CPT production, under the direction of Randy Rollison, is often funny, often hilarious, but also misses some of the laughs due to poor line interpretation. The singing also covers the broad realm of possibilities...some of the voices are wonderful, others are off-key. Meg Chamberlain is outstanding as Gladys Cratchit. Dan Kilbane is a delightful 6-foot Tiny Tim who trips and falls with ease while looking like a grinning idiot who is in an advertisement for laser tooth polishing. David Hansen is properly clueless as Bob Cratchit. Nina Dominque is inconsistent as The Ghosts. Her singing voice lacks polish and her line interpretation varies from excellent to unbelievable. The children in the cast needed more directoral assistance to aid them to stay in character. CAPSULE JUDGEMENT: If you aren?t in the right mood...silly; aren?t willing to set aside some amateur production qualities; and think that Christmas is a sincere holiday, then you?ll be turned off by ?MRS. BOB CRATCHIT?S WILD CHRISTMAS BINGE.? On the other hand, if you've seen one too many productions of ?A CHRISTMAS CAROL? and, upon hearing Tiny Tim optimistically proclaim "God bless us every one!?" you wish someone would expose him for the attention-grabbing urchin he is, get in your sleigh and go see the Cleveland Public Theatre?s production of ?MRS. BOB CRATCHIT?S WILD CHRISTMAS BINGE.? The show runs until December 20 at the theatre which is located at 6415 Detroit Avenue.

Thank you for reading this far and I hope to see you there, it honestly is a lot of fun. It's so much fun to be surrounded by 200 people in medieval gowns and armor playing the part of medieval folk. It is also an important fundraiser for M&PA, a downtown presenting/producing performing arts group, which is under financial stress like many of your organizations. Hope to see you there!

Dickens' lovely little novella plays out on the Actors' Summit stage this holiday season, adapted by Cleveland-area playwright and Renaissance man Wayne Turney. A frequent performer with Actors' Summit, Turney has adapted Oedipus and Tartuffe for previous productions at the professional Hudson theater. The Cricket on the Hearth, a welcome new offering amid Northeast Ohio's holiday fare, is much sweeter and lighter than A Christmas Carol. In the hands of Actors' Summit's skilled group of actors, the story never becomes sickeningly sweet. Even actor Thomas Cummings carries off ``chirruping'' like a cricket without seeming silly. This story of hearth and home has a simple message: Love is found at home. The magical creature of the cricket -- which presides over all domestic tranquility -- is a symbol of God. Wonderful performances are provided by darling actresses Kelly Pekar -- who plays the irresistible little young mother Dot -- and Hannah DelMonte as the kind-hearted blind girl, Bertha. Pekar has a surprisingly mature singing voice and excellent acting ability for a high school senior. DelMonte, also a high school senior, has a splendid voice, too. Both have done professional work throughout Northeast Ohio. Most of the show's humor stems from Neil Thackaberry as the gruff toy seller Tackleton, and Wayne Turney as the merry, eccentric toy maker Caleb. Thackaberry is almost violently grumpy as his Scrooge-like character. And Turney, who has written the book and lyrics for this show, switches expertly between playing Dickens and Caleb. This is a delightful holiday story. To use the words of author Turney, Dickens' ``enchanting language'' rings forth on the Actors' Summit stage. The problem with this show is the difficult, digitally recorded score. It's often so complex, the accompaniment leaves several cast members out on a limb, searching for their pitches. The score is a major project composed by Kent State University Stark Campus professor Sebastian Birch just for this world premiere musical. But even singers like Greg Violand (John), who has sung with the Cleveland Opera, had trouble opening night adapting to its complexities. The accompaniment includes flute, oboe, strings, piano and more. The loveliest Christmas sounds of all, used throughout most of the tunes, are bells. At times, the recorded accompaniment overpowers the singing onstage and the incongruity is painfully obvious. In other songs, the lyrics are repetitive and the pieces drag on for too long. Some of the tunes have three or four melodies going at once, making the piece sound like something from an operetta. But these arrangements aren't sung accurately enough for the lyrics to be easily understood and enjoyable. Because the music isn't the strongest part of this show, it would have been better to keep the songs simpler and fewer. One can only hope that the coordination between the singing and recorded accompaniment will gel better as the run of The Cricket on the Hearth continues. The only singers who didn't have any trouble with pitch opening night were Pekar and DelMonte. Musical highlights included a sweet love ballad between Dot and John, When I See You Look at Me, and the cast's oddly jolly Oxymoronic Paradox about the toy seller who hates children. This song fleshes out Tackleton's Scrooge-like character well before we've met him Also wonderful is No Higher Calling, a sweet duet between Caleb and Bertha that extols the joys of creating toys that make little ones smile. Despite some of this show's musical weaknesses, The Cricket on the Hearth is a merry performance that's worth seeing. The story includes several satisfying revelations as well as one very well-constructed surprise, guaranteed to instill wonder.

This off-the-wall comedy is a ball of energy full of twists and turns. Adding to the absurdity of this comedy is the fact that the twins in Dobama?s production will be played by real-life twins Tyson and Tyler Postma. Sebastian Bliss (Tyson Postma) and his twin sister, Bernadette Dixon (Tyler Postma), reunite after several years at their mother's funeral, after she was killed by an errant showerhead. Bernadette can barely stop weeping, while her brother is merely irritated by her display of emotion. Sebastian attends therapy sessions with Dr. Hillary MacMahon (Juliette Regnier*, who also plays Miranda Bliss), and when he announces his intention to leave therapy, she injures herself over it. Bernadette's husband, Kip (Sean Derry), decides to give up dentistry and become an artist. Sebastian's only real contact with people is in the form of letters he writes to a convicted murderer, Dylan (Jeff Staron, who also plays Roger). Sebastian brings home a prostitute and ends up with his throat cut. As he lies bleeding, his mother? s ghost visits him. Mother and son reveal secrets they couldn't tell while Mother lived. ?Raised in Captivity is about guilt, redemption and self-punishment, and, against all odds, it is also very funny.? ? The New York Times featuring Sean Derry, Juliette Regnier*, Tyler Postma*, Tyson Postma and Jeff Staron *member Actors?

Of the four winners, three performed works by the Russian master. The four = musicians, selected from among 18 finalists, have secured spots as soloists = with the Oberlin Orchestra and Oberlin Chamber Orchestra during the 2003-04 = season. All concerts, which are free and open to the public, will take place in Finney Chapel with Steven Smith, associate professor of conducting = and music director of the Oberlin orchestras, conducting three of them. Two = concerts in the spring are scheduled for live broadcast on WCLV-104.9 FM, Cleveland?s classical music radio station. This year's winners include one violinist, one tenor, and two pianists. Violinist Gared Crawford '04, of Houston, Texas, studies with Professor of Violin Gregory Fulkerson. Tenor Arthur Espiritu, an artist diploma candidate and a native of Rizal, Philippines, studies with Professor of Singing Richard Miller. Pianist Scott Meek '05, of Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, is a student of Associate Professor of Piano Alvin Chow. Taisiya Pushkar '04, born in Kishinev, Moldova, now living in Brooklyn, New York, studies with Professor of Piano Lydia Frumkin. Espiritu, the non-Prokofiev winner, performed Mozart's aria Misero! O sogno! O son desto, K. 431. He reprised the work in concert with the Oberlin Chamber Orchestra Nov. 7. Crawford will perform his winning Prokofiev Violin Concerto in D major with = the Oberlin Chamber Orchestra Dec. 7 at 8 p.m. in Finney Chapel. Meek will appear with the Oberlin Orchestra March 5, performing Prokofiev's = Concerto No. 3. Glen Cortese, the newly appointed music director and conductor of the Oregon Mozart Players and music director of the New York Chamber Sinfonia, will serve as guest conductor for this concert, which will be broadcast live on WCLV, 104.9 FM, and which also includes Brahms' Academic Festival Overture, op. 80, and Respighi's Fountains of Rome and Pines of Rome. Rounding out the Prokofiev season, Pushkar will play his Concerto No. 1 with the Oberlin Orchestra, conducted by Steven Smith, May 9. This concert, = which will also be broadcast live on WCLV, includes Stravinsky's Symphony of Psalms, performed by Oberlin's Musical Union, conducted by Hugh Floyd, and Charles Ives' Symphony No. 4. As in previous years, according to Dean of the Conservatory Robert Dodson, "the level of talent was such that the process of choosing only four finalists was a challenging one. The judges, however, acquitted themselves admirably in the task." Each year the competition jury is composed of one faculty member from each performance division, one faculty member from a non-performance division, and an external adjudicator. This year's judges were Professor of Composition and Music Theory Randolph Coleman; Assistant Professor of Clarinet Richard Hawkins; Assistant Professor of Violin Kyung Sun Lee; Associate Professor of Singing Lorraine Manz; Professor of Piano Peter Tak=E0cs; Associate Professor of Conducting and Music Director of the Oberlin Orchestras Steven Smith; and, returning for his second stint as juror, Robert Sherman, host of the McGraw-Hill Companies'Young Artists Showcase on WQXR, the classical music radio station = of the New York Times. "It was wonderfully encouraging to encounter one fine talent after another, = to hear a parade of performances that projected confidence, assurance, and deep musical understanding," says Sherman. "Good for all of these student artists, and bravo to their Oberlin mentors as well." The Oberlin Conservatory of Music, founded in 1865, became part of Oberlin College in 1867. It is the oldest, continuously operating conservatory in the United States, and is renowned internationally as a professional music school of the highest caliber situated within the intellectual vitality of a liberal arts college. ### Media Contact Only: Marci Janas 440-775-8328/marci.janas at oberlin.edu 12/4/03 #28mj Marci Janas Director of Conservatory Media Relations Oberlin Conservatory of Music 39 West College Street Oberlin, OH 44074 Tel: 440-775-8328 Fax: 440-775-5457 marci.janas at oberlin.edu www.oberlin.edu/con Marci Janas Director of Conservatory Media Relations Oberlin Conservatory of Music 39 West College Street Oberlin, OH 44074 Tel: 440-775-8328 Fax: 440-775-5457 marci.janas at oberlin.edu www.oberlin.edu/con Marci Janas Director of Conservatory Media Relations Oberlin Conservatory of Music 39 West College Street Oberlin, OH 44074 Tel: 440-775-8328 Fax: 440-775-5457 marci.janas at oberlin.edu www.oberlin.edu/con= --Boundary_(ID_/bQKsjo1FD6E4U+2tTrR+A) Content-type: text/enriched; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-transfer-encoding: quoted-printable Content-disposition: inline PalatinoFOU= R OBERLIN CONSERVATORY STUDENTS WIN CONCERTO = COMPETITIONTimes New Roman Palatino FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: MEDIA CONTACT: = Marci Janas December 4, 2003 = 440-0000,0000,00ff775-8328//marci.janas at o= berlin.edu = 0000,0000,00ff OBERLIN, OHIO -- Prokofiev was the composer of the hour -- and the = lucky charm -- at the Oberlin Conservatory of Music's 2003 Concerto = Competition, held Saturday, Oct. 11, in Finney Chapel.

Making Your Craft Complete

a FREE seminar Wednesday, December 10th, with Robert Patterson

In the early part of the last century, the Group Theatre revolutionized the American theatre by incorporating a form of training based on the system of Constantin Stanislavski. The Group became a huge commercial success, and generated some of the greatest acting teachers of the 20^th century: Lee Strasberg, Stella Adler, Robert Lewis, and most importantly Sanford Meisner.

But even in it's triumphs, the 'system' was evolving, and competing schools of thought emerged. Stella Adler and Sanford Meisner broke from Strasberg's psychological "method" after finding from Stanislavski that the system had grown from its earlier incarnation. She began teaching classes of her own and incorporated the new innovations, and Meisner formulated and began to teach "the reality of doing"-a new "technique." It was a tangible, teachable approach- it was the next great step in the evolution of the training of actors.

Throughout the last century, and up until today, these diverse traditions handed down from Stanislavski, the Group, and its offspring, have been taught to generations of actors.

And today

The teachers of "method-oriented" training claim to pass on the psychological techniques of Strasberg garnered from "25 years of study" with Strasberg himself. But does it take 25 years of STUDY to learn (or teach) any other craft besides acting?

Some studios have faculty that "are primarily performing artists," and I am sure that they are committed performing artists. But are they committed Master Teachers?

Even teachers of the "Meisner technique" have become academic, with certificate programs to award anyone who wishes to learn from his prot?g?s. I am sure these diverse personalities pass on as best as possible what each of them recalls, but where is the next step? Where is the next revolution?

Isn't there a Master Teacher who has built upon the venerable work of these Great Master Teachers--evolving, revolutionizing, and completing the craft?

 Yes. And Wednesday, December 10th at 6:00pm

Robert Patterson describes his REVOLUTIONARY and COMPLETE approach for the training of actors in this FREE one hour seminar.

Stanislavski conceived of a system,

 Sanford Meisner shaped it into a teachable approach,

 Robert Patterson has developed it into a complete craft.

The Work that is taught at The Robert Patterson Studio IS the new revolution for training in the craft of Acting. Robert Patterson's complete approach is the result of thirty years of teaching and is as revolutionary as the Group was 70 years ago. This is not "technique" from a year of basic exercises and a year of character work, after which a student applies his bag of tricks for life; this is acting as a complete craft, learned as one continuous action. When the student finishes, the work is then applied to a role as one continuous action leaving no "acting problems," no holes, and no questions. It is called The Work, because it is just that--it is the way an actor works. And it is complete.

This off-the-wall comedy is a ball of energy with more twists and turns than can be easily explained on paper. Adding to the absurdity of this comedy is the fact that the twins in Dobama?s production will be played by real-life siblings Tyson and Tyler Postma. Sebastian Bliss (Tyson Postma) and his twin sister, Bernadette Dixon (Tyler Postma), reunite after several years at their mother's funeral, after she was killed by an errant showerhead. Bernadette can barely stop weeping, while her brother is merely irritated by her display of emotion. Sebastian attends therapy sessions with Dr. Hillary MacMahon (Juliette Regnier*, who also plays Miranda Bliss), and when he announces his intention to leave therapy, she injures herself over it. Bernadette's husband, Kip (Sean Derry), decides to give up dentistry and become an artist. Sebastian's only real contact with people is in the form of letters he writes to a convicted murderer, Dylan (Jeff Staron, who also plays Roger). Sebastian brings home a prostitute and ends up with his throat cut. As he lies bleeding, his mother? s ghost visits him. Mother and son reveal secrets they couldn't tell while Mother lived. ?Raised in Captivity is about guilt, redemption and self-punishment, and, against all odds, it is also very funny.? ?

Message-ID: Two special events coming up in conjuntion with CPT's production of MRS. BOB CRATCHIT'S WILD CHRISTMAS BINGE! Sunday, December 7: Mrs. Bob Cratchit's Wild Xmas Party It?s her party, she can binge if she wants to! Mrs. Bob Cratchit, CPT, and Union Station Video Caf? invite you to this special holiday event in support CPT?s artistic programs and operations. It starts at 3:00 p.m. with a special matinee performance of MRS. BOB CRACHIT'S WILD CHRISTMAS BINGE, the latest comedy from Obie award winner Christopher Durang. Immediately following the performance in CPT?s Gordon Square Theatre, Mrs. Bob Cratchit will greet patrons for a holiday party at Union Station Video Caf? as part of their Showtunes theme night. In the style of the show, the cast of MRS. BOB CRATCHIT'S WILD CHRISTMAS BINGE will continue the entertainment with a cabaret-style act, and USVC will feature appetizers and cash bar. In addition, there will be a unique single-item live auction, to be revealed at the party. Join Mrs. Bob Cratchit, the Fezziwigs, Kenneth Lay, Ebeenezer Scrooge, George Bailey, and the rest of the Cratchit Family for a unique holiday party to benefit this Detroit-Shoreway area non-profit cultural organization. Sunday, December 7, 2003 3:00 p.m. performance, Mrs. Bob Cratchit?s Wild Christmas Binge at CPT?s Gordon Square Theatre 6415 Detroit Ave. at W. 65th Street Party Immediately Following at Union Station Video Caf? 2814 Detroit Ave. Tickets are $35 ($20 tax deductible) CPT is proud to partner with its neighbor Union Station Video Caf? throughout its 2003-04 season. USVC is a sponsor of MRS. BOB CRATCHIT'S WILD CHRISTMAS BINGE. A restaurant and video caf? located in the historic Ohio City neighborhood, USVC is celebrating its second anniversary. The complex also features Bounce, a dance club and bar with state-of-the-art sound and light systems. Bounce brings in nationally known DJs, and the complex includes Pumps, a special cabaret room for live shows. At USVC/Bounce/Pumps, patrons can enjoy music, videos, dinner, cocktails, pool, drag entertainment, and specialty shows almost every night of the week. USVC is located at 2814 Detroit Ave. CPT is located five minutes down the street at 6415 Detroit Ave. Ample parking is available at both locations. Saturday, December 13 and 20: Hungarian Holiday Binge In conjunction with its holiday production of Christopher Durang?s new comedy, MRS. BOB CRATCHIT'S WILD CHRISTMAS BINGE, executive director James Levin and artistic director Randy Rollison are proud to present the Hungarian Holiday Binge, December 13 and 20, 2003, in CPT?s new rehearsal hall. This special evening includes dinner at 6:00 p.m., followed by the 8:00 p.m. performance of MRS. BOB CRATCHIT'S WILD CHRISTMAS BINGE next door in the Gordon Square Theatre. Dinner includes a homestyle Hungarian feast created by chef Attila Salka of the Schnitzel Company. This dinner and theatre package is $55. ?It?s the season to get together with family and friends to celebrate, and we thought it would be fun to take our holiday production one step further by offering a special dinner package,? says Rollison. Indeed, Mrs. Bob Cratchit?s Wild Christmas Binge pokes fun at holiday meals as only Obie award winner Durang can do. The Cratchit family has only one good meal a year, but this Christmas meal does not turn out as expected, thanks to their family chef and Ebeenezer Scrooge. However, with the Hungarian Holiday Binge, patrons can expect a delicious menu of weiner schnitzel, mashed potatoes, green peas, house salad, cherry strudel, beer and Hungarian wine. Chef Attila Salka, no stranger to delicious Hungarian cooking, was born in Transylvania, and grew up around the restaurant business. Salka assisted his mother, who ran a restaurant in their native Hungary for 21 years. He attended culinary school in Debreceu, Hungary, focusing on the culinary arts as well as restaurant and hotel management. Salka also has a degree in German, and speaks four languages fluently. He currently runs the catering at St. Helena?s Church on W. 65th, a neighbor to CPT. Salka is working on opening his own catering business, the Schnitzel Company. The business will specialize in catering, focusing on Hungarian home-style cooking as well as fresh and frozen foods for purchase in stores. With Mrs. Bob Cratchit?s Wild Christmas Binge, Obie Award winner Durang takes on some of the holiday season?s sacred cows. Gladys Cratchit has had it. There are 21 foundlings in the basement and that whiney Tiny Tim just won?t shut up. One day she flips, takes to drink and tries to throw herself off a bridge. Sound familiar? Meanwhile, Ebenezzer Scrooge gets a visit from the Ghost of Christmases Past, Present, and Future, and a life lesson is not far around the corner. However, it seems something is wrong with the Ghost?s abilities to do her job, and she and Scrooge go on a humorous ride that lets several classic holiday tales have it. Although this play with music is based on A Christmas Carol, it quickly spins out of control, colliding with It?s a Wonderful Life and The Gift of the Magi. Christopher Durang is a playwright whose plays include A History of the American Film (Tony nomination), Sister Mary Ignatius Explains It All For You (Obie award), Beyond Therapy, Baby with the Bathwater, The Marriage of Bette and Boo (Obie award), Laughing Wild, Durang/Durang, and Betty?s Summer Vacation (1999 Obie award). He?s acted in his own plays, in movies, and performed in the Sondheim revue Putting It Together at the Manhattan Theatre Club starring Julie Andrews. In the early 80s he and Sigourney Weaver performed in and co-wrote Das Lusitania Songspiel, a Brecht-Weill parody; and with John Augustine and Sherry Anderson he has performed his crackpot cabaret Chris Durang and Dawne various places, winning a Bistro Award. Most recent work: a musical Adrift in Macao, optioned for off-Bway; and a new play, Mrs. Bob Cratchit?s Wild Christmas Binge at City Theatre in Pittsburgh. Since 1994 he and Marsha Norman have been co-chairs of the Playwriting Program at the Juilliard School. He?s a member of the Dramatists Guild Council. MRS. BOB CRATCHIT'S WILD CHRISTMAS BINGE was commissioned and originally produced by City Theatre Company, Pittsburgh, PA. 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.

If your workplace has a lunchroom, large conference room, or ideally a small theater or stage we would like to bring our play to you ? free of charge to your employer. The performance will also be free to all who attend. The performances will run mid-February through early March and we will build our calendar according to availability. We will need to have commitment of specific dates by the holidays and will be happy to work with companies of all sizes and types. The play revolves around the world of real-estate sales, but the scenario could be applied to almost any modern work environment. The play does contain extremely strong language and is of an adult nature. For any explanation of content I would ask that you watch the film version starring Al Pacino, Jack Lemmon, and Kevin Spacey. If you are not familiar with the play we ask that you please read it or watch the film version before committing your workplace to this show. This project has awesome potential for bringing a high level, professional theatrical production out into the public in an accessible and poignant fashion. We would like performances to be free and open to the public as well as your co-workers and will work with your employer to facilitate any needs. We hope to expose a new potential audience to the power of live theater ? be it your co-workers or just interested Clevelanders. If you would like more information or simply would like to be added to our tour list please contact us at 216.781.9987 or info at charenton.org. We hope to work with you to bring great theater into our community.

In addition to the on air interview on Q104, Joe was interviewed by Scene Magazine, The Plain Dealer, The News Herald, and the Lorain Morning Journal. Look for those interviews in the coming weeks. Joe was able to get some CD's to the DJ's and Program Director at Q104, and we're asking for people to call and request the songs. Please be polite and try not to give the DJ's a hard time if you do decide to call - it's an uphill battle to get independent releases played on a major market station. If you ask nicely, though, it just might work.

Hong, who is 16 and from ChungJu in Korea, played Vieuxtemps' Concerto No. 5 for the finals, in which she competed with nine violinists for the top prizes. Her Paganini Caprice No. 5, Bach Sonata No. 3, and Wieniawski Caprice had lifted her out of the preliminary pool of 60 participants, and she played Waxman's Carmen Fantasy for the semifinals. One of the perks of being a top prizewinner was an invitation to perform at the competition's gala concert, held in Wieniawski Hall. She played the Waxman and the Wieniawski. "This competition is known as one of the bigger and more difficult international violin competitions, especially in the junior division," says Lee. "Many well-known European violinists -- Maxim Vengerov, for example -- have won the Wieniawski." Hong began her studies at Oberlin last year as Lee's private student; the two met in Korea three years ago. "She teaches me to find the music in myself," says Hong of her teacher. "Oberlin is a wonderful place to study music, especially with all of the artists who come here to perform." One of those artists, violinist Ida Haendel, who appeared in concert in November under the auspices of the Artist Recital Series, was herself a Wieniawski finalist, in 1935, at the tender age of seven. Hong was, understandably, in attendance at the concert and at Haendel's master class. The Wieniawski is not Hong's inaugural success. She won first prize in the 2000 I-Wha National Competition and in the 2001 Korean Times National Competition, both held in Seoul.

SUMMIT, PLAYHOUSE SQUARE AND CPT Roy Berko (Member, American Theatre Critics Association) --THE TIMES NEWSPAPERS-- Lorain County Times--Westlaker Times--Lakewood News Times--Olmsted-Fairview Times WORLD PREMIERE PRODUCTION AT ACTORS? SUMMIT It?s that time of year when theatres try to pull holiday entertainment out of the bag. Ensemble is running ?THE GIFT OF THE MAGI,? The Cleveland Play House has shipped in ?PLAID TIDINGS,? Great Lakes Theatre Festival has once again resurrected ?THE CHRISTMAS CAROL,? and Cleveland Public Theatre is featuring the farcical ?MRS. BOB CRATCHET?S WILD CHRISTMAS BINGE.? Actors? Summit, rather than do the tried and true, has ventured off into trying to create its own holiday gift to give and give again in the form of Wayne Turney?s attempt to adapt Charles Dickens? ?CRICKET ON THE HEARTH? into a musical. Transforming the novel ?CRICKET ON THE HEARTH? into a play is not a new task. It?s been attempted before. In most instances, the transformation hasn?t worked. Though Turney, musical creator Sebastian Anthony Birch and director MaryJo Alexander give it their all, the show?s world premiere doesn?t quite work either. The book itself presents complexities not easily overcome. It has an obvious conclusion and lacks the multi-level texturing that has made Dickens? ?OLIVER TWIST? work as the musical ?OLIVER.? It lacks humor or great drama. Alexander has paced the show well, creates attractive stage pictures, and has the cast basically on target in their portrayals. The problem isn?t hers. The problem is not Turney?s either. Rather than create new conceptual songs, Turney has relied on an operatic technique for the lyrics. He uses dialogue set to music. This allows the plot?s ideas to flow along, but doesn?t give the audience the sound it is used to hearing in musicals. Most modern musicals have songs which have verses followed by a chorus. This allows for familiarity with the repeated sounds and words. Think "Food, Glorious Food" from the musical ?OLIVER? based on Dickens? "OLIVER TWIST." In addition, the show?s songs don?t allow for ease of listening. Birch?s music is also sometimes hard to warm up to. Much of the music is atonal, and the singers often appear to be singing one tune while the musical accompaniment sounds like it is playing a different melody. A repeated bell sound, a musical thread running through most of the music fits the time of the year, but becomes piercing after hearing it over and over again. The cast is generally acceptable. The characterizations were clear. Especially effective were Greg Violand as the older love-struck husband, Wayne Turney as Dickens, who narrates the show; Neil Thackaberry, as the mean Tackleton who eventually, as does Scrooge in ?CHRISTMAS CAROL,? softens into a nice guy. The singing voices aren?t all strong. This is especially obvious in the choral segments. Several of the cast had trouble in the higher ranges. CAPSULE JUDGEMENT: ?CRICKET ON THE HEARTH? is a work-in-progress. Whether it will ever turn into a holiday favorite is questionable, but Actors? Summit deserves credit for trying something new rather than giving us one more repeat of tired traditional holiday material. ?CRICKET ON THE HEARTH? plays through December 21 at Actors? Summit?s wonderfully intimate theatre-in-the-three-quarter round. For tickets call 330-342-0800 or visit on-line to actorssummit.org. The company?s next play is Michael Frayn?s drama COPENHAGEN which runs from January 8-25. ?THE NUTCRACKER? DISAPPOINTS AT THE ALLEN THEATRE When the Cleveland-San Jose Ballet fled the North Coast for the warmer climes of California, it took with it their version of ?THE NUTCRACKER,? one of the area?s long time holiday traditions. Playhouse Square Center, in need of a holiday offering, for several seasons brought in the delightful Radio City Rockettes and their holiday program. This year, as part of their Rainbow Babies and Children?s Hospital Ballet Season 2003-2004, the decision was made to bring in the highly touted Pennsylvania Ballet with their ?NUTCRACKER.? No one who saw the CSJB version will ever mistake what the Pennsylvania Ballet presented as its equal. Yes, the sets, the costumes and the music were wonderful, but there was a lack of magic on stage. This production, with a cast mainly made up of children and youth, lacked the delight and the compelling charm necessary to truly bring to life George Balanchine?s wonderful choreography. Because of the abilities of the youth, there was a lot of walking and little real dancing. Rather than having the likes of Raymond Rodriquez and Karen Gabay dancing the Little Prince and Princess, we had two pre-teens walking around the stage. In the second act, in place of the Little Prince?s wonderful dance solo we had a young boy standing in the middle of the stage pantomiming the story that enfolded in the first act. As the little girl seated next to me asked aloud, "What?s he doing?" The fight sequences between the mice and the wooden soldiers, which usually brings squeals of delight from the children in the audience, lacked creativity. The children who played wooden soldiers walked, they didn?t march or dance and the huge mice were less than entertaining. Even the adult dancers were no more than competent. The Snowflake sequence lacked enchantment, even though the lighting and the falling snow cast the right spell. There is a wonderful dance sequence near the end of the ballet in which we see the Sugarplum Fair and her Cavalier cavort. Dede Barfield and Alexei Borovik showed no emotional connection. Borovik?s flying leaps, which, if properly done usually bring gasps of joy from an audience were met with mild applause. He failed to get much lift or execute the movements parallel to the speed of the music. Barfield?s toe-work, especially in the sequence when she was pulled across the stage by her partner to imitate an ice-skating effect was fine, but there was a lack of fire in her moves. CAPSULE JUDGEMENT: Pennsylvania Ballet?s ?THE NUTCRACKER? lacked magic. Kids are cute, but ballet requires dancers, proficient dancers. As the ballet ended, I glanced over at the velvet dressed young lady next to me, now fast asleep in her father?s arms. All I could think was, "Dennis Nahat and the Cleveland San Jose Ballet, where are you now that we need you?" ?MRS. BOB CRATCHIT?S WILD CHRISTMAS BINGE? COULD DELIGHT YOU AT CPT On stage there is Scrooge, Tiny Tim, Bob Cratchit, Ghost of Christmas Past, Ghost of Christmas Present, Ghost of Christmas Future. It?s obvious that you?re seeing Dicken?s ?CHRISTMAS CAROL.? Wait, there are scenes from ?OLIVER TWIST,? ?IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE? AND ?THE OLD CURIOSITY SHOP.? Throw in references to ?PETER PAN? and ?MY FRIEND FLICKA.? No, this is definitely not ?CHRISTMAS CAROL.? Let?s look at this a little closer. The ghost who visits Scrooge just can?t get things right. Mrs. Bob Cratchit (did you know her name was Gladys?) is unhappy with everyone and everything in her life. Her breaking point comes when Bob arrives with their 21st foundling. She wants to go to a bar, down a few Tequila Surprises and jump off the London Bridge. Imagine her relief to find that she is simply placed in the wrong time period and is Scrooge's soul mate. In playwright Christopher Durang?s hands, Scrooge?s famous line "Bah Humbug" isn?t just a casual dismissal of Christmas joy, it?s seasonal Tourette?s Syndrome. Eventually everything is eventually rectified by the Ghost of all three Christmases. The CPT production, under the direction of Randy Rollison, is often funny, often hilarious, but also misses some of the laughs due to poor line interpretation. The singing also covers the broad realm of possibilities...some of the voices are wonderful, others are off-key. Meg Chamberlain is outstanding as Gladys Cratchit. Dan Kilbane is a delightful 6-foot Tiny Tim who trips and falls with ease while looking like a grinning idiot who is in an advertisement for laser tooth polishing. David Hansen is properly clueless as Bob Cratchit. Nina Dominque is inconsistent as The Ghosts. Her singing voice lacks polish and her line interpretation varies from excellent to unbelievable. The children in the cast needed more directoral assistance to aid them to stay in character. CAPSULE JUDGEMENT: If you aren?t in the right mood...silly; aren?t willing to set aside some amateur production qualities; and think that Christmas is a sincere holiday, then you?ll be turned off by ?MRS. BOB CRATCHIT?S WILD CHRISTMAS BINGE.? On the other hand, if you've seen one too many productions of ?A CHRISTMAS CAROL? and, upon hearing Tiny Tim optimistically proclaim "God bless us every one!?" you wish someone would expose him for the attention-grabbing urchin he is, get in your sleigh and go see the Cleveland Public Theatre?s production of ?MRS. BOB CRATCHIT?S WILD CHRISTMAS BINGE.? The show runs until December 20 at the theatre which is located at 6415 Detroit Avenue.

Message-ID: <2782EEE6.1331C5D8.020C1D99@aol.com> To help you all get in the holiday spirit and get prepared for your various Christmas performances, I invite all of you to come to the Medieval Feasts at Trinity Cathedral! The theme for this year's feast is the exotic 14th century Venice and it is taking place Friday, December 12 at 7:00 p.m. at East 22nd and Euclid Ave. The evening opens with a spiced wine and cider reception in Cathedral Hall and then travels to the beautiful Trinity Cathedral. Throughout the evening you can enjoy a seven-course meal (vegetarian meals are available) and all the punch, red/white wine and beer you can drink! To make the evening even more fun - most guests come in period costume (take out your old medieval fair outfits and have a blast!) and enjoy an early music ensemble, a fortuneteller, a magician and much more. So please call Music & Performing Arts at Trinity Cathedral (M&PA) right now - 216/579-9745 - and you can make a reservation with me or with any of the other office staff. We are also extending a $15 discount to all NEOhioPAL members and friends. So for four hours of fun, all the booze you can drink and free, close parking, tickets are only $35. Thank you for reading this far and I hope to see you there, it honestly is a lot of fun. It's so much fun to be surrounded by 200 people in medieval gowns and armor playing the part of medieval folk. It is also an important fundraiser for M&PA, a downtown presenting/producing performing arts group, which is under financial stress like many of your organizations. Hope to see you there!

CLEVELAND - The North Coast Men?s Chorus, Cleveland?s only gay men?s chorus will open its 2003 ? 2004 Season with two performances of ?Sugar Plum Fairies? at 8:00 PM Saturday, December 20 and 3:00 PM Sunday, December 21 in Waetjen Auditorium at Cleveland State University. The program for ?Sugar Plum Fairies? will touch the outrageous edge of holiday music and also includes old standards, such as a vibrant new arrangement of three traditional carols, ?I Saw Three Ships,? ? What Child Is This,? and ?God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen;? an ? capella arrangement of the ?Wassail Song,? and a deeply touching pair of Irving Berlin favorites. ?Island Santa? trades in the reindeer and sleigh for a little red boat powered by seahorses and The Coastliners (NCMC?s celebrated specialty ensemble) warns of the dangers of over indulging in chocolate with their unique interpretation of ?Bittersweet Tango.? As the title, ?Sugar Plum Faries? suggests, the centerpiece of the show will be a production of Tchaikovsky?s ?Nutcracker Suite? with lyrics written by Fred Waring and fully choreographed by Lora Workman in classical style . . . for men . . . in crinoline tutus. Throughout its history, a favorite element of the Chorus? holiday performances has been a sing-along. A few tiny reindeer and soloist, Robert Burian as Mrs. Claus, will lead this year?s. Not to be outdone by ?Queer Eye For The Straight Guy,? the NCMC?s own Fab Five have targeted none other than Santa, himself for a dramatic makeover.

North Coast Men?s Chorus Presents ?Sugar Plum Fairies?

CLEVELAND - The North Coast Men?s Chorus, Cleveland?s only gay men?s chorus will open its 2003 ? 2004 Season with two performances of ?Sugar Plum Fairies? at 8:00 PM Saturday, December 20 and 3:00 PM Sunday, December 21 in Waetjen Auditorium at Cleveland State University.

The program for ?Sugar Plum Fairies? will touch the outrageous edge of holiday music and also includes old standards, such as a vibrant new arrangement of three traditional carols, ?I Saw Three Ships,? ? What Child Is This,? and ?God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen;? an ? capella arrangement of the ?Wassail Song,? and a deeply touching pair of Irving Berlin favorites. ?Island Santa? trades in the reindeer and sleigh for a little red boat powered by seahorses and The Coastliners (NCMC?s celebrated specialty ensemble) warns of the dangers of over indulging in chocolate with their unique interpretation of ?Bittersweet Tango.?

As the title, ?Sugar Plum Faries? suggests, the centerpiece of the show will be a production of Tchaikovsky?s ?Nutcracker Suite? with lyrics written by Fred Waring and fully choreographed by Lora Workman in classical style . . . for men . . . in crinoline tutus.

Throughout its history, a favorite element of the Chorus? holiday performances has been a sing-along. A few tiny reindeer and soloist, Robert Burian as Mrs. Claus, will lead this year?s. Not to be outdone by ?Queer Eye For The Straight Guy,? the NCMC?s own Fab Five have targeted none other than Santa, himself for a dramatic makeover.

Under the leadership of Music Director Richard Cole nearly 100 men will take the stage with its annual Holiday offering. Cole assumed his current position of Music Director in 1998. Since then, the Chorus has grown five fold. Members attribute the growth to Cole?s drive to continually challenge the chorus in terms of technical ability, showmanship, and pushing the envelope of outrageous humor.

Dickens' lovely little novella plays out on the Actors' Summit stage this holiday season, adapted by Cleveland-area playwright and Renaissance man Wayne Turney. A frequent performer with Actors' Summit, Turney has adapted Oedipus and Tartuffe for previous productions at the professional Hudson theater. The Cricket on the Hearth, a welcome new offering amid Northeast Ohio's holiday fare, is much sweeter and lighter than A Christmas Carol. In the hands of Actors' Summit's skilled group of actors, the story never becomes sickeningly sweet. Even actor Thomas Cummings carries off ``chirruping'' like a cricket without seeming silly. This story of hearth and home has a simple message: Love is found at home. The magical creature of the cricket -- which presides over all domestic tranquility -- is a symbol of God. Wonderful performances are provided by darling actresses Kelly Pekar -- who plays the irresistible little young mother Dot -- and Hannah DelMonte as the kind-hearted blind girl, Bertha. Pekar has a surprisingly mature singing voice and excellent acting ability for a high school senior. DelMonte, also a high school senior, has a splendid voice, too. Both have done professional work throughout Northeast Ohio. Most of the show's humor stems from Neil Thackaberry as the gruff toy seller Tackleton, and Wayne Turney as the merry, eccentric toy maker Caleb. Thackaberry is almost violently grumpy as his Scrooge-like character. And Turney, who has written the book and lyrics for this show, switches expertly between playing Dickens and Caleb. This is a delightful holiday story. To use the words of author Turney, Dickens' ``enchanting language'' rings forth on the Actors' Summit stage. The problem with this show is the difficult, digitally recorded score. It's often so complex, the accompaniment leaves several cast members out on a limb, searching for their pitches. The score is a major project composed by Kent State University Stark Campus professor Sebastian Birch just for this world premiere musical. But even singers like Greg Violand (John), who has sung with the Cleveland Opera, had trouble opening night adapting to its complexities. The accompaniment includes flute, oboe, strings, piano and more. The loveliest Christmas sounds of all, used throughout most of the tunes, are bells. At times, the recorded accompaniment overpowers the singing onstage and the incongruity is painfully obvious. In other songs, the lyrics are repetitive and the pieces drag on for too long. Some of the tunes have three or four melodies going at once, making the piece sound like something from an operetta. But these arrangements aren't sung accurately enough for the lyrics to be easily understood and enjoyable. Because the music isn't the strongest part of this show, it would have been better to keep the songs simpler and fewer. One can only hope that the coordination between the singing and recorded accompaniment will gel better as the run of The Cricket on the Hearth continues. The only singers who didn't have any trouble with pitch opening night were Pekar and DelMonte. Musical highlights included a sweet love ballad between Dot and John, When I See You Look at Me, and the cast's oddly jolly Oxymoronic Paradox about the toy seller who hates children. This song fleshes out Tackleton's Scrooge-like character well before we've met him Also wonderful is No Higher Calling, a sweet duet between Caleb and Bertha that extols the joys of creating toys that make little ones smile. Despite some of this show's musical weaknesses, The Cricket on the Hearth is a merry performance that's worth seeing. The story includes several satisfying revelations as well as one very well-constructed surprise, guaranteed to instill wonder.

This off-the-wall comedy is a ball of energy full of twists and turns. Adding to the absurdity of this comedy is the fact that the twins in Dobama?s production will be played by real-life twins Tyson and Tyler Postma. Sebastian Bliss (Tyson Postma) and his twin sister, Bernadette Dixon (Tyler Postma), reunite after several years at their mother's funeral, after she was killed by an errant showerhead. Bernadette can barely stop weeping, while her brother is merely irritated by her display of emotion. Sebastian attends therapy sessions with Dr. Hillary MacMahon (Juliette Regnier*, who also plays Miranda Bliss), and when he announces his intention to leave therapy, she injures herself over it. Bernadette's husband, Kip (Sean Derry), decides to give up dentistry and become an artist. Sebastian's only real contact with people is in the form of letters he writes to a convicted murderer, Dylan (Jeff Staron, who also plays Roger). Sebastian brings home a prostitute and ends up with his throat cut. As he lies bleeding, his mother? s ghost visits him. Mother and son reveal secrets they couldn't tell while Mother lived. ?Raised in Captivity is about guilt, redemption and self-punishment, and, against all odds, it is also very funny.? ? The New York Times featuring Sean Derry, Juliette Regnier*, Tyler Postma*, Tyson Postma and Jeff Staron *member Actors?

Tenor Arthur Espiritu, an artist diploma candidate and a native of Rizal, Philippines, studies with Professor of Singing Richard Miller. Pianist Scott Meek '05, of Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, is a student of Associate Professor of Piano Alvin Chow. Taisiya Pushkar '04, born in Kishinev, Moldova, now living in Brooklyn, New York, studies with Professor of Piano Lydia Frumkin. Espiritu, the non-Prokofiev winner, performed Mozart's aria Misero!

Rounding out the Prokofiev season, Pushkar will play his Concerto No. 1 with the Oberlin Orchestra, conducted by Steven Smith, May 9. This concert, = which will also be broadcast live on WCLV, includes Stravinsky's Symphony of Psalms, performed by Oberlin's Musical Union, conducted by Hugh Floyd, and Charles Ives' Symphony No. 4. As in previous years, according to Dean of the Conservatory Robert Dodson, "the level of talent was such that the process of choosing only four finalists was a challenging one. The judges, however, acquitted themselves admirably in the task." Each year the competition jury is composed of one faculty member from each performance division, one faculty member from a non-performance division, and an external adjudicator. This year's judges were Professor of Composition and Music Theory Randolph Coleman; Assistant Professor of Clarinet Richard Hawkins; Assistant Professor of Violin Kyung Sun Lee; Associate Professor of Singing Lorraine Manz; Professor of Piano Peter Tak=E0cs; Associate Professor of Conducting and Music Director of the Oberlin Orchestras Steven Smith; and, returning for his second stint as juror, Robert Sherman, host of the McGraw-Hill Companies'Young Artists Showcase on WQXR, the classical music radio station = of the New York Times. "It was wonderfully encouraging to encounter one fine talent after another, = to hear a parade of performances that projected confidence, assurance, and deep musical understanding," says Sherman. "Good for all of these student artists, and bravo to their Oberlin mentors as well." The Oberlin Conservatory of Music, founded in 1865, became part of Oberlin College in 1867. It is the oldest, continuously operating conservatory in the United States, and is renowned internationally as a professional music school of the highest caliber situated within the intellectual vitality of a liberal arts college. ### Media Contact Only: Marci Janas 440-775-8328/marci.janas at oberlin.edu 12/4/03 #28mj Marci Janas Director of Conservatory Media Relations Oberlin Conservatory of Music 39 West College Street Oberlin, OH 44074 Tel: 440-775-8328 Fax: 440-775-5457 marci.janas at oberlin.edu www.oberlin.edu/con Marci Janas Director of Conservatory Media Relations Oberlin Conservatory of Music 39 West College Street Oberlin, OH 44074 Tel: 440-775-8328 Fax: 440-775-5457 marci.janas at oberlin.edu www.oberlin.edu/con Marci Janas Director of Conservatory Media Relations Oberlin Conservatory of Music 39 West College Street Oberlin, OH 44074 Tel: 440-775-8328 Fax: 440-775-5457 marci.janas at oberlin.edu www.oberlin.edu/con= --Boundary_(ID_/bQKsjo1FD6E4U+2tTrR+A) Content-type: text/enriched; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-transfer-encoding: quoted-printable Content-disposition: inline PalatinoFOU= R OBERLIN CONSERVATORY STUDENTS WIN CONCERTO = COMPETITIONTimes New Roman Palatino FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: MEDIA CONTACT: = Marci Janas December 4, 2003 = 440-0000,0000,00ff775-8328//marci.janas at o= berlin.edu = 0000,0000,00ff OBERLIN, OHIO -- Prokofiev was the composer of the hour -- and the = lucky charm -- at the Oberlin Conservatory of Music's 2003 Concerto = Competition, held Saturday, Oct. 11, in Finney Chapel.

Making Your Craft Complete

a FREE seminar Wednesday, December 10th, with Robert Patterson

In the early part of the last century, the Group Theatre revolutionized the American theatre by incorporating a form of training based on the system of Constantin Stanislavski. The Group became a huge commercial success, and generated some of the greatest acting teachers of the 20^th century: Lee Strasberg, Stella Adler, Robert Lewis, and most importantly Sanford Meisner.

But even in it's triumphs, the 'system' was evolving, and competing schools of thought emerged. Stella Adler and Sanford Meisner broke from Strasberg's psychological "method" after finding from Stanislavski that the system had grown from its earlier incarnation. She began teaching classes of her own and incorporated the new innovations, and Meisner formulated and began to teach "the reality of doing"-a new "technique." It was a tangible, teachable approach- it was the next great step in the evolution of the training of actors.

Throughout the last century, and up until today, these diverse traditions handed down from Stanislavski, the Group, and its offspring, have been taught to generations of actors.

And today

The teachers of "method-oriented" training claim to pass on the psychological techniques of Strasberg garnered from "25 years of study" with Strasberg himself. But does it take 25 years of STUDY to learn (or teach) any other craft besides acting?

Some studios have faculty that "are primarily performing artists," and I am sure that they are committed performing artists. But are they committed Master Teachers?

Even teachers of the "Meisner technique" have become academic, with certificate programs to award anyone who wishes to learn from his prot?g?s. I am sure these diverse personalities pass on as best as possible what each of them recalls, but where is the next step? Where is the next revolution?

Isn't there a Master Teacher who has built upon the venerable work of these Great Master Teachers--evolving, revolutionizing, and completing the craft?

 Yes. And Wednesday, December 10th at 6:00pm

Robert Patterson describes his REVOLUTIONARY and COMPLETE approach for the training of actors in this FREE one hour seminar.

Stanislavski conceived of a system,

 Sanford Meisner shaped it into a teachable approach,

 Robert Patterson has developed it into a complete craft.

The Work that is taught at The Robert Patterson Studio IS the new revolution for training in the craft of Acting. Robert Patterson's complete approach is the result of thirty years of teaching and is as revolutionary as the Group was 70 years ago. This is not "technique" from a year of basic exercises and a year of character work, after which a student applies his bag of tricks for life; this is acting as a complete craft, learned as one continuous action. When the student finishes, the work is then applied to a role as one continuous action leaving no "acting problems," no holes, and no questions.

For Immediate Release: Contact: Marjorie Preston, Dobama Theatre PR/Marketing, (216) 932-6838 Email: mpreston at dobama.org Web Site: www.dobama.org DOBAMA presents the OHIO PREMIERE of Raised in Captivity By Nicky Silver Directed by Russ Borski January 16 - February 8 Dobama Theatre proudly presents the Ohio premiere of Nicky Silver?s Raised in Captivity. This off-the-wall comedy is a ball of energy with more twists and turns than can be easily explained on paper. Adding to the absurdity of this comedy is the fact that the twins in Dobama?s production will be played by real-life siblings Tyson and Tyler Postma. Sebastian Bliss (Tyson Postma) and his twin sister, Bernadette Dixon (Tyler Postma), reunite after several years at their mother's funeral, after she was killed by an errant showerhead. Bernadette can barely stop weeping, while her brother is merely irritated by her display of emotion. Sebastian attends therapy sessions with Dr. Hillary MacMahon (Juliette Regnier*, who also plays Miranda Bliss), and when he announces his intention to leave therapy, she injures herself over it. Bernadette's husband, Kip (Sean Derry), decides to give up dentistry and become an artist. Sebastian's only real contact with people is in the form of letters he writes to a convicted murderer, Dylan (Jeff Staron, who also plays Roger). Sebastian brings home a prostitute and ends up with his throat cut. As he lies bleeding, his mother? s ghost visits him. Mother and son reveal secrets they couldn't tell while Mother lived. ?Raised in Captivity is about guilt, redemption and self-punishment, and, against all odds, it is also very funny.? ? The New York Times featuring Sean Derry, Juliette Regnier*, Tyler Postma*, Tyson Postma and Jeff Staron *member Actors? Equity Association Performances: January 16 - February 8 Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 8:00 p.m. Sunday 1/18 at 7:30 p.m.; 1/25, 2/1 and 2/8 at 2:30 p.m. Tickets $11-$20 Information: (216) 932-6838.

Message-ID: Two special events coming up in conjuntion with CPT's production of MRS. BOB CRATCHIT'S WILD CHRISTMAS BINGE! Sunday, December 7: Mrs. Bob Cratchit's Wild Xmas Party It?s her party, she can binge if she wants to! Mrs. Bob Cratchit, CPT, and Union Station Video Caf? invite you to this special holiday event in support CPT?s artistic programs and operations. It starts at 3:00 p.m. with a special matinee performance of MRS. BOB CRACHIT'S WILD CHRISTMAS BINGE, the latest comedy from Obie award winner Christopher Durang. Immediately following the performance in CPT?s Gordon Square Theatre, Mrs. Bob Cratchit will greet patrons for a holiday party at Union Station Video Caf? as part of their Showtunes theme night. In the style of the show, the cast of MRS. BOB CRATCHIT'S WILD CHRISTMAS BINGE will continue the entertainment with a cabaret-style act, and USVC will feature appetizers and cash bar. In addition, there will be a unique single-item live auction, to be revealed at the party. Join Mrs. Bob Cratchit, the Fezziwigs, Kenneth Lay, Ebeenezer Scrooge, George Bailey, and the rest of the Cratchit Family for a unique holiday party to benefit this Detroit-Shoreway area non-profit cultural organization. Sunday, December 7, 2003 3:00 p.m. performance, Mrs. Bob Cratchit?s Wild Christmas Binge at CPT?s Gordon Square Theatre 6415 Detroit Ave. at W. 65th Street Party Immediately Following at Union Station Video Caf? 2814 Detroit Ave. Tickets are $35 ($20 tax deductible) CPT is proud to partner with its neighbor Union Station Video Caf? throughout its 2003-04 season. USVC is a sponsor of MRS. BOB CRATCHIT'S WILD CHRISTMAS BINGE. A restaurant and video caf? located in the historic Ohio City neighborhood, USVC is celebrating its second anniversary. The complex also features Bounce, a dance club and bar with state-of-the-art sound and light systems. Bounce brings in nationally known DJs, and the complex includes Pumps, a special cabaret room for live shows. At USVC/Bounce/Pumps, patrons can enjoy music, videos, dinner, cocktails, pool, drag entertainment, and specialty shows almost every night of the week. USVC is located at 2814 Detroit Ave. CPT is located five minutes down the street at 6415 Detroit Ave. Ample parking is available at both locations. Saturday, December 13 and 20: Hungarian Holiday Binge In conjunction with its holiday production of Christopher Durang?s new comedy, MRS. BOB CRATCHIT'S WILD CHRISTMAS BINGE, executive director James Levin and artistic director Randy Rollison are proud to present the Hungarian Holiday Binge, December 13 and 20, 2003, in CPT?s new rehearsal hall. This special evening includes dinner at 6:00 p.m., followed by the 8:00 p.m. performance of MRS. BOB CRATCHIT'S WILD CHRISTMAS BINGE next door in the Gordon Square Theatre. Dinner includes a homestyle Hungarian feast created by chef Attila Salka of the Schnitzel Company. This dinner and theatre package is $55. ?It?s the season to get together with family and friends to celebrate, and we thought it would be fun to take our holiday production one step further by offering a special dinner package,? says Rollison. Indeed, Mrs. Bob Cratchit?s Wild Christmas Binge pokes fun at holiday meals as only Obie award winner Durang can do. The Cratchit family has only one good meal a year, but this Christmas meal does not turn out as expected, thanks to their family chef and Ebeenezer Scrooge. However, with the Hungarian Holiday Binge, patrons can expect a delicious menu of weiner schnitzel, mashed potatoes, green peas, house salad, cherry strudel, beer and Hungarian wine. Chef Attila Salka, no stranger to delicious Hungarian cooking, was born in Transylvania, and grew up around the restaurant business. Salka assisted his mother, who ran a restaurant in their native Hungary for 21 years. He attended culinary school in Debreceu, Hungary, focusing on the culinary arts as well as restaurant and hotel management. Salka also has a degree in German, and speaks four languages fluently. He currently runs the catering at St. Helena?s Church on W. 65th, a neighbor to CPT. Salka is working on opening his own catering business, the Schnitzel Company. The business will specialize in catering, focusing on Hungarian home-style cooking as well as fresh and frozen foods for purchase in stores. With Mrs. Bob Cratchit?s Wild Christmas Binge, Obie Award winner Durang takes on some of the holiday season?s sacred cows. Gladys Cratchit has had it. There are 21 foundlings in the basement and that whiney Tiny Tim just won?t shut up. One day she flips, takes to drink and tries to throw herself off a bridge. Sound familiar? Meanwhile, Ebenezzer Scrooge gets a visit from the Ghost of Christmases Past, Present, and Future, and a life lesson is not far around the corner. However, it seems something is wrong with the Ghost?s abilities to do her job, and she and Scrooge go on a humorous ride that lets several classic holiday tales have it. Although this play with music is based on A Christmas Carol, it quickly spins out of control, colliding with It?s a Wonderful Life and The Gift of the Magi. Christopher Durang is a playwright whose plays include A History of the American Film (Tony nomination), Sister Mary Ignatius Explains It All For You (Obie award), Beyond Therapy, Baby with the Bathwater, The Marriage of Bette and Boo (Obie award), Laughing Wild, Durang/Durang, and Betty?s Summer Vacation (1999 Obie award). He?s acted in his own plays, in movies, and performed in the Sondheim revue Putting It Together at the Manhattan Theatre Club starring Julie Andrews. In the early 80s he and Sigourney Weaver performed in and co-wrote Das Lusitania Songspiel, a Brecht-Weill parody; and with John Augustine and Sherry Anderson he has performed his crackpot cabaret Chris Durang and Dawne various places, winning a Bistro Award. Most recent work: a musical Adrift in Macao, optioned for off-Bway; and a new play, Mrs. Bob Cratchit?s Wild Christmas Binge at City Theatre in Pittsburgh. Since 1994 he and Marsha Norman have been co-chairs of the Playwriting Program at the Juilliard School. He?s a member of the Dramatists Guild Council. MRS. BOB CRATCHIT'S WILD CHRISTMAS BINGE was commissioned and originally produced by City Theatre Company, Pittsburgh, PA. 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.

Bring Theater to Your Workplace! Message-ID: <1166.66.219.160.105.1070635401.squirrel@www.charenton.org> The Office Tour Wants to Come to You Help us bring theater to your workplace Charenton Theater Company is currently looking for locations for our touring production of David Mamet?s scathing satire of American business morality: Glengarry Glen Ross. If your workplace has a lunchroom, large conference room, or ideally a small theater or stage we would like to bring our play to you ? free of charge to your employer. The performance will also be free to all who attend. The performances will run mid-February through early March and we will build our calendar according to availability. We will need to have commitment of specific dates by the holidays and will be happy to work with companies of all sizes and types. The play revolves around the world of real-estate sales, but the scenario could be applied to almost any modern work environment. The play does contain extremely strong language and is of an adult nature. For any explanation of content I would ask that you watch the film version starring Al Pacino, Jack Lemmon, and Kevin Spacey. If you are not familiar with the play we ask that you please read it or watch the film version before committing your workplace to this show. This project has awesome potential for bringing a high level, professional theatrical production out into the public in an accessible and poignant fashion. We would like performances to be free and open to the public as well as your co-workers and will work with your employer to facilitate any needs. We hope to expose a new potential audience to the power of live theater ? be it your co-workers or just interested Clevelanders. If you would like more information or simply would like to be added to our tour list please contact us at 216.781.9987 or info at charenton.org. We hope to work with you to bring great theater into our community.

Hong, who is 16 and from ChungJu in Korea, played Vieuxtemps' Concerto No. 5 for the finals, in which she competed with nine violinists for the top prizes. Her Paganini Caprice No. 5, Bach Sonata No. 3, and Wieniawski Caprice had lifted her out of the preliminary pool of 60 participants, and she played Waxman's Carmen Fantasy for the semifinals. One of the perks of being a top prizewinner was an invitation to perform at the competition's gala concert, held in Wieniawski Hall. She played the Waxman and the Wieniawski. "This competition is known as one of the bigger and more difficult international violin competitions, especially in the junior division," says Lee. "Many well-known European violinists -- Maxim Vengerov, for example -- have won the Wieniawski." Hong began her studies at Oberlin last year as Lee's private student; the two met in Korea three years ago. "She teaches me to find the music in myself," says Hong of her teacher. "Oberlin is a wonderful place to study music, especially with all of the artists who come here to perform." One of those artists, violinist Ida Haendel, who appeared in concert in November under the auspices of the Artist Recital Series, was herself a Wieniawski finalist, in 1935, at the tender age of seven. Hong was, understandably, in attendance at the concert and at Haendel's master class. The Wieniawski is not Hong's inaugural success. She won first prize in the 2000 I-Wha National Competition and in the 2001 Korean Times National Competition, both held in Seoul. A 2001 graduate of the YeWon School of the Arts, she has performed as soloist with the Seoul Philharmonic and the Korean Symphony orchestras. # # # Marci Janas Director of Conservatory Media Relations Oberlin Conservatory of Music 39 West College Street Oberlin, OH 44074 Tel: 440-775-8328 Fax: 440-775-5457 marci.janas at oberlin.edu www.oberlin.edu/con --Boundary_(ID_Y267Gz/AvfRmozaJfQP4gQ) Content-type: text/enriched; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT Content-disposition: inline PalatinoOberlin Student Wins Third Prize at Prestigious Wieniawski International Violin Competition For Immediate Release: Media Contact: Marci Janas December 5, 2003 440-775-8328 OBERLIN, OHIO -- Ui-Youn Hong, a first-year violin performance major and a student of Assistant Professor of Violin Kyung Sun Lee, won third prize in the junior division of the Henryk Wieniawski International Violin Competition for Young Violinists, held in Lublin, Poland, in September.

Cassidy Theatre will produce Neil Simon's musical comedy "Little Me" and an additional audition date has been added.

A note from Director Robert Gibb -

Thanks to all who auditioned for "Little Me" - I was very pleased with the turnout and the talent!

I received messages from many interested people (over a dozen!) who were not able to make the previous auditions so we have scheduled one additional audition for Monday, December 15 at 7:00 p.m.

I hope to cast the show very quickly after that date.

SUMMIT, PLAYHOUSE SQUARE AND CPT Roy Berko (Member, American Theatre Critics Association) --THE TIMES NEWSPAPERS-- Lorain County Times--Westlaker Times--Lakewood News Times--Olmsted-Fairview Times WORLD PREMIERE PRODUCTION AT ACTORS? SUMMIT It?s that time of year when theatres try to pull holiday entertainment out of the bag. Ensemble is running ?THE GIFT OF THE MAGI,? The Cleveland Play House has shipped in ?PLAID TIDINGS,? Great Lakes Theatre Festival has once again resurrected ?THE CHRISTMAS CAROL,? and Cleveland Public Theatre is featuring the farcical ?MRS. BOB CRATCHET?S WILD CHRISTMAS BINGE.? Actors? Summit, rather than do the tried and true, has ventured off into trying to create its own holiday gift to give and give again in the form of Wayne Turney?s attempt to adapt Charles Dickens? ?CRICKET ON THE HEARTH? into a musical. Transforming the novel ?CRICKET ON THE HEARTH? into a play is not a new task. It?s been attempted before. In most instances, the transformation hasn?t worked. Though Turney, musical creator Sebastian Anthony Birch and director MaryJo Alexander give it their all, the show?s world premiere doesn?t quite work either. The book itself presents complexities not easily overcome. It has an obvious conclusion and lacks the multi-level texturing that has made Dickens? ?OLIVER TWIST? work as the musical ?OLIVER.? It lacks humor or great drama. Alexander has paced the show well, creates attractive stage pictures, and has the cast basically on target in their portrayals. The problem isn?t hers. The problem is not Turney?s either. Rather than create new conceptual songs, Turney has relied on an operatic technique for the lyrics. He uses dialogue set to music. This allows the plot?s ideas to flow along, but doesn?t give the audience the sound it is used to hearing in musicals. Most modern musicals have songs which have verses followed by a chorus. This allows for familiarity with the repeated sounds and words. Think "Food, Glorious Food" from the musical ?OLIVER? based on Dickens? "OLIVER TWIST." In addition, the show?s songs don?t allow for ease of listening. Birch?s music is also sometimes hard to warm up to. Much of the music is atonal, and the singers often appear to be singing one tune while the musical accompaniment sounds like it is playing a different melody. A repeated bell sound, a musical thread running through most of the music fits the time of the year, but becomes piercing after hearing it over and over again. The cast is generally acceptable. The characterizations were clear. Especially effective were Greg Violand as the older love-struck husband, Wayne Turney as Dickens, who narrates the show; Neil Thackaberry, as the mean Tackleton who eventually, as does Scrooge in ?CHRISTMAS CAROL,? softens into a nice guy. The singing voices aren?t all strong. This is especially obvious in the choral segments. Several of the cast had trouble in the higher ranges. CAPSULE JUDGEMENT: ?CRICKET ON THE HEARTH? is a work-in-progress. Whether it will ever turn into a holiday favorite is questionable, but Actors? Summit deserves credit for trying something new rather than giving us one more repeat of tired traditional holiday material. ?CRICKET ON THE HEARTH? plays through December 21 at Actors? Summit?s wonderfully intimate theatre-in-the-three-quarter round. For tickets call 330-342-0800 or visit on-line to actorssummit.org. The company?s next play is Michael Frayn?s drama COPENHAGEN which runs from January 8-25. ?THE NUTCRACKER? DISAPPOINTS AT THE ALLEN THEATRE When the Cleveland-San Jose Ballet fled the North Coast for the warmer climes of California, it took with it their version of ?THE NUTCRACKER,? one of the area?s long time holiday traditions. Playhouse Square Center, in need of a holiday offering, for several seasons brought in the delightful Radio City Rockettes and their holiday program. This year, as part of their Rainbow Babies and Children?s Hospital Ballet Season 2003-2004, the decision was made to bring in the highly touted Pennsylvania Ballet with their ?NUTCRACKER.? No one who saw the CSJB version will ever mistake what the Pennsylvania Ballet presented as its equal. Yes, the sets, the costumes and the music were wonderful, but there was a lack of magic on stage. This production, with a cast mainly made up of children and youth, lacked the delight and the compelling charm necessary to truly bring to life George Balanchine?s wonderful choreography. Because of the abilities of the youth, there was a lot of walking and little real dancing. Rather than having the likes of Raymond Rodriquez and Karen Gabay dancing the Little Prince and Princess, we had two pre-teens walking around the stage. In the second act, in place of the Little Prince?s wonderful dance solo we had a young boy standing in the middle of the stage pantomiming the story that enfolded in the first act. As the little girl seated next to me asked aloud, "What?s he doing?" The fight sequences between the mice and the wooden soldiers, which usually brings squeals of delight from the children in the audience, lacked creativity. The children who played wooden soldiers walked, they didn?t march or dance and the huge mice were less than entertaining. Even the adult dancers were no more than competent. The Snowflake sequence lacked enchantment, even though the lighting and the falling snow cast the right spell. There is a wonderful dance sequence near the end of the ballet in which we see the Sugarplum Fair and her Cavalier cavort. Dede Barfield and Alexei Borovik showed no emotional connection. Borovik?s flying leaps, which, if properly done usually bring gasps of joy from an audience were met with mild applause. He failed to get much lift or execute the movements parallel to the speed of the music. Barfield?s toe-work, especially in the sequence when she was pulled across the stage by her partner to imitate an ice-skating effect was fine, but there was a lack of fire in her moves. CAPSULE JUDGEMENT: Pennsylvania Ballet?s ?THE NUTCRACKER? lacked magic. Kids are cute, but ballet requires dancers, proficient dancers. As the ballet ended, I glanced over at the velvet dressed young lady next to me, now fast asleep in her father?s arms. All I could think was, "Dennis Nahat and the Cleveland San Jose Ballet, where are you now that we need you?" ?MRS. BOB CRATCHIT?S WILD CHRISTMAS BINGE? COULD DELIGHT YOU AT CPT On stage there is Scrooge, Tiny Tim, Bob Cratchit, Ghost of Christmas Past, Ghost of Christmas Present, Ghost of Christmas Future. It?s obvious that you?re seeing Dicken?s ?CHRISTMAS CAROL.? Wait, there are scenes from ?OLIVER TWIST,? ?IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE? AND ?THE OLD CURIOSITY SHOP.? Throw in references to ?PETER PAN? and ?MY FRIEND FLICKA.? No, this is definitely not ?CHRISTMAS CAROL.? Let?s look at this a little closer. The ghost who visits Scrooge just can?t get things right. Mrs. Bob Cratchit (did you know her name was Gladys?) is unhappy with everyone and everything in her life. Her breaking point comes when Bob arrives with their 21st foundling. She wants to go to a bar, down a few Tequila Surprises and jump off the London Bridge. Imagine her relief to find that she is simply placed in the wrong time period and is Scrooge's soul mate. In playwright Christopher Durang?s hands, Scrooge?s famous line "Bah Humbug" isn?t just a casual dismissal of Christmas joy, it?s seasonal Tourette?s Syndrome. Eventually everything is eventually rectified by the Ghost of all three Christmases. The CPT production, under the direction of Randy Rollison, is often funny, often hilarious, but also misses some of the laughs due to poor line interpretation. The singing also covers the broad realm of possibilities...some of the voices are wonderful, others are off-key. Meg Chamberlain is outstanding as Gladys Cratchit. Dan Kilbane is a delightful 6-foot Tiny Tim who trips and falls with ease while looking like a grinning idiot who is in an advertisement for laser tooth polishing. David Hansen is properly clueless as Bob Cratchit. Nina Dominque is inconsistent as The Ghosts. Her singing voice lacks polish and her line interpretation varies from excellent to unbelievable. The children in the cast needed more directoral assistance to aid them to stay in character. CAPSULE JUDGEMENT: If you aren?t in the right mood...silly; aren?t willing to set aside some amateur production qualities; and think that Christmas is a sincere holiday, then you?ll be turned off by ?MRS. BOB CRATCHIT?S WILD CHRISTMAS BINGE.? On the other hand, if you've seen one too many productions of ?A CHRISTMAS CAROL? and, upon hearing Tiny Tim optimistically proclaim "God bless us every one!?" you wish someone would expose him for the attention-grabbing urchin he is, get in your sleigh and go see the Cleveland Public Theatre?s production of ?MRS. BOB CRATCHIT?S WILD CHRISTMAS BINGE.? The show runs until December 20 at the theatre which is located at 6415 Detroit Avenue.

Thank you for reading this far and I hope to see you there, it honestly is a lot of fun. It's so much fun to be surrounded by 200 people in medieval gowns and armor playing the part of medieval folk. It is also an important fundraiser for M&PA, a downtown presenting/producing performing arts group, which is under financial stress like many of your organizations. Hope to see you there!
