------_=_NextPart_001_01C3C648.F5C4287F-- >From sgordon at clevelandplayhouse.com" The Cleveland Play House is casting a role in its upcoming production of Far Away, by Caryl Churchill. This will be the first area production of one of last season's most celebrated new plays. The role is "Young Joan," a very sweet and innocent young woman who is between ten and twelve years old. The actress appears in one scene of the play, though the character is the focal point of that scene. The role will require an Actors' Equity Association contract, and so the actress will need to be a member of AEA or be prepared to join AEA. Auditions for this role will take place on Saturday afternoon, January 10 between 2PM and 5PM at the Cleveland Play House, 8500 Euclid Avenue, by appointment only. For an appointment and for more information, please respond to this email or call Seth Gordon at 216 795 7000 x207.

Message-ID: Saturday, December 20: Hungarian Holiday Binge! @ Cleveland Public Theatre 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 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 Free Times and Union Station Video Cafe are proud to sponsor CPT's production of MRS. BOB CRATCHIT'S WILD CHRISTMAS BINGE. 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.

Big [BOX] focuses on the independent creative artist and the exciting things that can happen when one is given the space and time to create. Throughout January 2004, Cleveland Public Theatre turns the Upstairs Theatre over to a different individual or set of artists each week. Writers, directors, actors, and designers will dedicate themselves to creating new and original work, or stretching their artistic powers by working in new disciplines. Two of last year?s BIG [BOX] artists are part of CPT?s current season: Charge, written by Eric Kaiser, will have a full production in February 2004, co-produced with TITLEWave theatre. Antaeus Dance will be part of Danceworks 04, presented in March 2004. Additionally, two of last year?s participants moved their shows to theatre festivals in August 2003: David Hansen?s I Hate This ran at the Minnesota Fringe Festival, and Michael Sepesy?s Loserville was produced at the New York International Fringe Festival. The 2003 BIG [BOX] series received a Cleveland Theater Collective award of achievement this past June, honoring CPT?s commitment to artists. Formed in 2000 to promote the professional development of Cleveland area theater artists, CTC initiated the awards this year as a way to celebrate and validate excellence in local theater. Following is the 2004 BIG [BOX] schedule. All performances take place in the Upstairs Theatre, 6415 Detroit Ave., Cleveland, OH, 44113. Performances are Fridays and Saturdays at 8:00 p.m., and Sundays at 3:00 p.m. All tickets are $10. Reservations can be made by calling 216/631-2727. January 2 - 4 The Secretaries written by The Five Lesbian Brothers directed by Trad A Burns Every thirty days, the five secretaries of an Oregon lumber mill kill a lumberjack for his clothing. After all, men?s clothing is much better made and cheaper than women?s clothing! Resident artist Trad A Burns takes on The Five Lesbian Brothers. Trad A Burns, CPT?s resident lighting designer, has created many set and lighting designs for the CPT stage, and he adds director to his list of credits for The Secretaries. Recent design credits at CPT include Blue Sky Transmission: A Tibetan Book of the Dead, Summer and Smoke, One Flea Spare, The Fugitive Pieces, and Gross Indecency: The Three Trials of Oscar Wilde. His other recent work includes designs featured at The Cincinnati Ballet, BalletMet, Columbus, Knott?s Berry Farm, Cedar Point, Morrisondance, and Cleveland Contemporary Dance Theatre. Along with his many free-lance projects, Trad is the resident lighting designer for the Cincinnati Ballet, creating the lighting most recently for George Balanchine?s Jewels, Serenade, and Concerto Barocco, Kirk Peterson?s Sleeping Beauty, Trey McIntyre?s Blue Until June, and John Butler?s Carmina Burana. His upcoming collaborations include new works by Donald McKayle, Trey McIntyre, Rene Micheo and Victoria Morgan. Trad?s fifteen-year association with Cedar Point has made him one of the top lighting designers in the amusement park industry. His work has been seen at Disneyland, Disney World, Disneyland Japan, Universal Studios, Florida, California and Japan, Islands of Adventure, Knott?s Berry Farm, Six Flags, and Cedar Point. January 9 - 11 4 Minutes to Happy written and performed by Sarah Morton "I've always been a good test taker," says our over-achieving narrator. So what happens when she flunks a doctor-administered depression test? In this comic and revealing solo piece, one woman sets out on a quest for the perfect way to "get happy," trying everything from hot showers to hip hop. Will she succeed? A poetic and timely look at the pitfalls and detours we sometimes encounter on the road to happiness. Sarah Morton is an award-winning playwright and performer and a native of Cleveland, Ohio. Recent productions of her plays include Night Bloomers at Emerging Artists Theatre in New York City, Love in Pieces at the NYC International Fringe Festival, Stumble at Great Lakes Theater Festival (2002 Surround Tour), and courage of i, which she co-wrote with the residents of the Elyria Y, a transitional housing facility for women, and produced by Cleveland Public Theatre. She has served as artist-in-residence at Cleveland State University, Cleveland School of the Arts, and Hathaway Brown School, and has been teaching in The Cleveland Play House's Young Playwrights Workshop for the past six years. Her solo piece, The Eighth Wonder of the World, was produced by Dobama's Night Kitchen and won a Scene Award for Best Solo Performance. January 16 - 18 The Eclectic Circus created by Aaron Bonk, John Flower, Vincent J. Polowy, and Cassandra Vincent Not under the Big Top, but out of the BIG [BOX] comes the Eclectic Circus. Magic, mime, juggling, clowning, sideshow, and the spoken-word are included in this multi-disciplinary performance. Four artists come together as EC, bringing together magic, music, mime, dance, juggling, and clowning, all in a visual and electric evening! January 23 - 25 The M.A.N. (a.k.a. The Magnificent Arrogant Nigger or I Never Learned to Dance Like Fred Astaire) Written, directed, and performed by Alex P.

Jack Ragotzy, founder of the landmark summer stock company, The Barn Theatre= in Augusta, Michigan, died Dec. 15 of a heart attack in his home on the gro= unds of the theatre, one day shy of his 82nd birthday.

New York-area press agent Charlie Siedenburg, who spent formative years work= ing at the Barn as one of the nicknamed "Barnies," sent out the sad news via= press release. Siedenburg =E2=80=94 one of countless showfolk whose careers= were touched by Mr. Ragotzy and his wife, Betty =E2=80=94 started at the Ba= rn as an apprentice actor in the late 1980s and ended up being the troupe's=20= press rep into the early 1990s.

------_=_NextPart_001_01C3C648.F5C4287F-- >From sgordon at clevelandplayhouse.com" The Cleveland Play House is casting a role in its upcoming production of Far Away, by Caryl Churchill. This will be the first area production of one of last season's most celebrated new plays. The role is "Young Joan," a very sweet and innocent young woman who is between ten and twelve years old. The actress appears in one scene of the play, though the character is the focal point of that scene. The role will require an Actors' Equity Association contract, and so the actress will need to be a member of AEA or be prepared to join AEA. Auditions for this role will take place on Saturday afternoon, January 10 between 2PM and 5PM at the Cleveland Play House, 8500 Euclid Avenue, by appointment only. For an appointment and for more information, please respond to this email or call Seth Gordon at 216 795 7000 x207.

Message-ID: Saturday, December 20: Hungarian Holiday Binge! @ Cleveland Public Theatre 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 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 Free Times and Union Station Video Cafe are proud to sponsor CPT's production of MRS. BOB CRATCHIT'S WILD CHRISTMAS BINGE. 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.

Big [BOX] focuses on the independent creative artist and the exciting things that can happen when one is given the space and time to create. Throughout January 2004, Cleveland Public Theatre turns the Upstairs Theatre over to a different individual or set of artists each week. Writers, directors, actors, and designers will dedicate themselves to creating new and original work, or stretching their artistic powers by working in new disciplines. Two of last year?s BIG [BOX] artists are part of CPT?s current season: Charge, written by Eric Kaiser, will have a full production in February 2004, co-produced with TITLEWave theatre. Antaeus Dance will be part of Danceworks 04, presented in March 2004. Additionally, two of last year?s participants moved their shows to theatre festivals in August 2003: David Hansen?s I Hate This ran at the Minnesota Fringe Festival, and Michael Sepesy?s Loserville was produced at the New York International Fringe Festival. The 2003 BIG [BOX] series received a Cleveland Theater Collective award of achievement this past June, honoring CPT?s commitment to artists. Formed in 2000 to promote the professional development of Cleveland area theater artists, CTC initiated the awards this year as a way to celebrate and validate excellence in local theater. Following is the 2004 BIG [BOX] schedule. All performances take place in the Upstairs Theatre, 6415 Detroit Ave., Cleveland, OH, 44113. Performances are Fridays and Saturdays at 8:00 p.m., and Sundays at 3:00 p.m. All tickets are $10. Reservations can be made by calling 216/631-2727. January 2 - 4 The Secretaries written by The Five Lesbian Brothers directed by Trad A Burns Every thirty days, the five secretaries of an Oregon lumber mill kill a lumberjack for his clothing. After all, men?s clothing is much better made and cheaper than women?s clothing! Resident artist Trad A Burns takes on The Five Lesbian Brothers. Trad A Burns, CPT?s resident lighting designer, has created many set and lighting designs for the CPT stage, and he adds director to his list of credits for The Secretaries. Recent design credits at CPT include Blue Sky Transmission: A Tibetan Book of the Dead, Summer and Smoke, One Flea Spare, The Fugitive Pieces, and Gross Indecency: The Three Trials of Oscar Wilde. His other recent work includes designs featured at The Cincinnati Ballet, BalletMet, Columbus, Knott?s Berry Farm, Cedar Point, Morrisondance, and Cleveland Contemporary Dance Theatre. Along with his many free-lance projects, Trad is the resident lighting designer for the Cincinnati Ballet, creating the lighting most recently for George Balanchine?s Jewels, Serenade, and Concerto Barocco, Kirk Peterson?s Sleeping Beauty, Trey McIntyre?s Blue Until June, and John Butler?s Carmina Burana. His upcoming collaborations include new works by Donald McKayle, Trey McIntyre, Rene Micheo and Victoria Morgan. Trad?s fifteen-year association with Cedar Point has made him one of the top lighting designers in the amusement park industry. His work has been seen at Disneyland, Disney World, Disneyland Japan, Universal Studios, Florida, California and Japan, Islands of Adventure, Knott?s Berry Farm, Six Flags, and Cedar Point. January 9 - 11 4 Minutes to Happy written and performed by Sarah Morton "I've always been a good test taker," says our over-achieving narrator. So what happens when she flunks a doctor-administered depression test? In this comic and revealing solo piece, one woman sets out on a quest for the perfect way to "get happy," trying everything from hot showers to hip hop. Will she succeed? A poetic and timely look at the pitfalls and detours we sometimes encounter on the road to happiness. Sarah Morton is an award-winning playwright and performer and a native of Cleveland, Ohio. Recent productions of her plays include Night Bloomers at Emerging Artists Theatre in New York City, Love in Pieces at the NYC International Fringe Festival, Stumble at Great Lakes Theater Festival (2002 Surround Tour), and courage of i, which she co-wrote with the residents of the Elyria Y, a transitional housing facility for women, and produced by Cleveland Public Theatre. She has served as artist-in-residence at Cleveland State University, Cleveland School of the Arts, and Hathaway Brown School, and has been teaching in The Cleveland Play House's Young Playwrights Workshop for the past six years. Her solo piece, The Eighth Wonder of the World, was produced by Dobama's Night Kitchen and won a Scene Award for Best Solo Performance. January 16 - 18 The Eclectic Circus created by Aaron Bonk, John Flower, Vincent J. Polowy, and Cassandra Vincent Not under the Big Top, but out of the BIG [BOX] comes the Eclectic Circus. Magic, mime, juggling, clowning, sideshow, and the spoken-word are included in this multi-disciplinary performance. Four artists come together as EC, bringing together magic, music, mime, dance, juggling, and clowning, all in a visual and electric evening! January 23 - 25 The M.A.N. (a.k.a. The Magnificent Arrogant Nigger or I Never Learned to Dance Like Fred Astaire) Written, directed, and performed by Alex P.

Jack Ragotzy, founder of the landmark summer stock company, The Barn Theatre= in Augusta, Michigan, died Dec. 15 of a heart attack in his home on the gro= unds of the theatre, one day shy of his 82nd birthday.

New York-area press agent Charlie Siedenburg, who spent formative years work= ing at the Barn as one of the nicknamed "Barnies," sent out the sad news via= press release. Siedenburg =E2=80=94 one of countless showfolk whose careers= were touched by Mr. Ragotzy and his wife, Betty =E2=80=94 started at the Ba= rn as an apprentice actor in the late 1980s and ended up being the troupe's=20= press rep into the early 1990s.

------_=_NextPart_001_01C3C648.F5C4287F-- >From sgordon at clevelandplayhouse.com" The Cleveland Play House is casting a role in its upcoming production of Far Away, by Caryl Churchill. This will be the first area production of one of last season's most celebrated new plays. The role is "Young Joan," a very sweet and innocent young woman who is between ten and twelve years old. The actress appears in one scene of the play, though the character is the focal point of that scene. The role will require an Actors' Equity Association contract, and so the actress will need to be a member of AEA or be prepared to join AEA. Auditions for this role will take place on Saturday afternoon, January 10 between 2PM and 5PM at the Cleveland Play House, 8500 Euclid Avenue, by appointment only. For an appointment and for more information, please respond to this email or call Seth Gordon at 216 795 7000 x207.

Message-ID: Saturday, December 20: Hungarian Holiday Binge! @ Cleveland Public Theatre 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 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 Free Times and Union Station Video Cafe are proud to sponsor CPT's production of MRS. BOB CRATCHIT'S WILD CHRISTMAS BINGE. 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.

Big [BOX] focuses on the independent creative artist and the exciting things that can happen when one is given the space and time to create. Throughout January 2004, Cleveland Public Theatre turns the Upstairs Theatre over to a different individual or set of artists each week. Writers, directors, actors, and designers will dedicate themselves to creating new and original work, or stretching their artistic powers by working in new disciplines. Two of last year?s BIG [BOX] artists are part of CPT?s current season: Charge, written by Eric Kaiser, will have a full production in February 2004, co-produced with TITLEWave theatre. Antaeus Dance will be part of Danceworks 04, presented in March 2004. Additionally, two of last year?s participants moved their shows to theatre festivals in August 2003: David Hansen?s I Hate This ran at the Minnesota Fringe Festival, and Michael Sepesy?s Loserville was produced at the New York International Fringe Festival. The 2003 BIG [BOX] series received a Cleveland Theater Collective award of achievement this past June, honoring CPT?s commitment to artists. Formed in 2000 to promote the professional development of Cleveland area theater artists, CTC initiated the awards this year as a way to celebrate and validate excellence in local theater. Following is the 2004 BIG [BOX] schedule. All performances take place in the Upstairs Theatre, 6415 Detroit Ave., Cleveland, OH, 44113. Performances are Fridays and Saturdays at 8:00 p.m., and Sundays at 3:00 p.m. All tickets are $10. Reservations can be made by calling 216/631-2727. January 2 - 4 The Secretaries written by The Five Lesbian Brothers directed by Trad A Burns Every thirty days, the five secretaries of an Oregon lumber mill kill a lumberjack for his clothing. After all, men?s clothing is much better made and cheaper than women?s clothing! Resident artist Trad A Burns takes on The Five Lesbian Brothers. Trad A Burns, CPT?s resident lighting designer, has created many set and lighting designs for the CPT stage, and he adds director to his list of credits for The Secretaries. Recent design credits at CPT include Blue Sky Transmission: A Tibetan Book of the Dead, Summer and Smoke, One Flea Spare, The Fugitive Pieces, and Gross Indecency: The Three Trials of Oscar Wilde. His other recent work includes designs featured at The Cincinnati Ballet, BalletMet, Columbus, Knott?s Berry Farm, Cedar Point, Morrisondance, and Cleveland Contemporary Dance Theatre. Along with his many free-lance projects, Trad is the resident lighting designer for the Cincinnati Ballet, creating the lighting most recently for George Balanchine?s Jewels, Serenade, and Concerto Barocco, Kirk Peterson?s Sleeping Beauty, Trey McIntyre?s Blue Until June, and John Butler?s Carmina Burana. His upcoming collaborations include new works by Donald McKayle, Trey McIntyre, Rene Micheo and Victoria Morgan. Trad?s fifteen-year association with Cedar Point has made him one of the top lighting designers in the amusement park industry. His work has been seen at Disneyland, Disney World, Disneyland Japan, Universal Studios, Florida, California and Japan, Islands of Adventure, Knott?s Berry Farm, Six Flags, and Cedar Point. January 9 - 11 4 Minutes to Happy written and performed by Sarah Morton "I've always been a good test taker," says our over-achieving narrator. So what happens when she flunks a doctor-administered depression test? In this comic and revealing solo piece, one woman sets out on a quest for the perfect way to "get happy," trying everything from hot showers to hip hop. Will she succeed? A poetic and timely look at the pitfalls and detours we sometimes encounter on the road to happiness. Sarah Morton is an award-winning playwright and performer and a native of Cleveland, Ohio. Recent productions of her plays include Night Bloomers at Emerging Artists Theatre in New York City, Love in Pieces at the NYC International Fringe Festival, Stumble at Great Lakes Theater Festival (2002 Surround Tour), and courage of i, which she co-wrote with the residents of the Elyria Y, a transitional housing facility for women, and produced by Cleveland Public Theatre. She has served as artist-in-residence at Cleveland State University, Cleveland School of the Arts, and Hathaway Brown School, and has been teaching in The Cleveland Play House's Young Playwrights Workshop for the past six years. Her solo piece, The Eighth Wonder of the World, was produced by Dobama's Night Kitchen and won a Scene Award for Best Solo Performance. January 16 - 18 The Eclectic Circus created by Aaron Bonk, John Flower, Vincent J. Polowy, and Cassandra Vincent Not under the Big Top, but out of the BIG [BOX] comes the Eclectic Circus. Magic, mime, juggling, clowning, sideshow, and the spoken-word are included in this multi-disciplinary performance. Four artists come together as EC, bringing together magic, music, mime, dance, juggling, and clowning, all in a visual and electric evening! January 23 - 25 The M.A.N. (a.k.a. The Magnificent Arrogant Nigger or I Never Learned to Dance Like Fred Astaire) Written, directed, and performed by Alex P.

Jack Ragotzy, founder of the landmark summer stock company, The Barn Theatre= in Augusta, Michigan, died Dec. 15 of a heart attack in his home on the gro= unds of the theatre, one day shy of his 82nd birthday.

New York-area press agent Charlie Siedenburg, who spent formative years work= ing at the Barn as one of the nicknamed "Barnies," sent out the sad news via= press release. Siedenburg =E2=80=94 one of countless showfolk whose careers= were touched by Mr. Ragotzy and his wife, Betty =E2=80=94 started at the Ba= rn as an apprentice actor in the late 1980s and ended up being the troupe's=20= press rep into the early 1990s.

------_=_NextPart_001_01C3C648.F5C4287F-- >From sgordon at clevelandplayhouse.com" The Cleveland Play House is casting a role in its upcoming production of Far Away, by Caryl Churchill. This will be the first area production of one of last season's most celebrated new plays. The role is "Young Joan," a very sweet and innocent young woman who is between ten and twelve years old. The actress appears in one scene of the play, though the character is the focal point of that scene. The role will require an Actors' Equity Association contract, and so the actress will need to be a member of AEA or be prepared to join AEA. Auditions for this role will take place on Saturday afternoon, January 10 between 2PM and 5PM at the Cleveland Play House, 8500 Euclid Avenue, by appointment only. For an appointment and for more information, please respond to this email or call Seth Gordon at 216 795 7000 x207.

Message-ID: Saturday, December 20: Hungarian Holiday Binge! @ Cleveland Public Theatre 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 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 Free Times and Union Station Video Cafe are proud to sponsor CPT's production of MRS. BOB CRATCHIT'S WILD CHRISTMAS BINGE. 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.

Big [BOX] focuses on the independent creative artist and the exciting things that can happen when one is given the space and time to create. Throughout January 2004, Cleveland Public Theatre turns the Upstairs Theatre over to a different individual or set of artists each week. Writers, directors, actors, and designers will dedicate themselves to creating new and original work, or stretching their artistic powers by working in new disciplines. Two of last year?s BIG [BOX] artists are part of CPT?s current season: Charge, written by Eric Kaiser, will have a full production in February 2004, co-produced with TITLEWave theatre. Antaeus Dance will be part of Danceworks 04, presented in March 2004. Additionally, two of last year?s participants moved their shows to theatre festivals in August 2003: David Hansen?s I Hate This ran at the Minnesota Fringe Festival, and Michael Sepesy?s Loserville was produced at the New York International Fringe Festival. The 2003 BIG [BOX] series received a Cleveland Theater Collective award of achievement this past June, honoring CPT?s commitment to artists. Formed in 2000 to promote the professional development of Cleveland area theater artists, CTC initiated the awards this year as a way to celebrate and validate excellence in local theater. Following is the 2004 BIG [BOX] schedule. All performances take place in the Upstairs Theatre, 6415 Detroit Ave., Cleveland, OH, 44113. Performances are Fridays and Saturdays at 8:00 p.m., and Sundays at 3:00 p.m. All tickets are $10. Reservations can be made by calling 216/631-2727. January 2 - 4 The Secretaries written by The Five Lesbian Brothers directed by Trad A Burns Every thirty days, the five secretaries of an Oregon lumber mill kill a lumberjack for his clothing. After all, men?s clothing is much better made and cheaper than women?s clothing! Resident artist Trad A Burns takes on The Five Lesbian Brothers. Trad A Burns, CPT?s resident lighting designer, has created many set and lighting designs for the CPT stage, and he adds director to his list of credits for The Secretaries. Recent design credits at CPT include Blue Sky Transmission: A Tibetan Book of the Dead, Summer and Smoke, One Flea Spare, The Fugitive Pieces, and Gross Indecency: The Three Trials of Oscar Wilde. His other recent work includes designs featured at The Cincinnati Ballet, BalletMet, Columbus, Knott?s Berry Farm, Cedar Point, Morrisondance, and Cleveland Contemporary Dance Theatre. Along with his many free-lance projects, Trad is the resident lighting designer for the Cincinnati Ballet, creating the lighting most recently for George Balanchine?s Jewels, Serenade, and Concerto Barocco, Kirk Peterson?s Sleeping Beauty, Trey McIntyre?s Blue Until June, and John Butler?s Carmina Burana. His upcoming collaborations include new works by Donald McKayle, Trey McIntyre, Rene Micheo and Victoria Morgan. Trad?s fifteen-year association with Cedar Point has made him one of the top lighting designers in the amusement park industry. His work has been seen at Disneyland, Disney World, Disneyland Japan, Universal Studios, Florida, California and Japan, Islands of Adventure, Knott?s Berry Farm, Six Flags, and Cedar Point. January 9 - 11 4 Minutes to Happy written and performed by Sarah Morton "I've always been a good test taker," says our over-achieving narrator. So what happens when she flunks a doctor-administered depression test? In this comic and revealing solo piece, one woman sets out on a quest for the perfect way to "get happy," trying everything from hot showers to hip hop. Will she succeed? A poetic and timely look at the pitfalls and detours we sometimes encounter on the road to happiness. Sarah Morton is an award-winning playwright and performer and a native of Cleveland, Ohio. Recent productions of her plays include Night Bloomers at Emerging Artists Theatre in New York City, Love in Pieces at the NYC International Fringe Festival, Stumble at Great Lakes Theater Festival (2002 Surround Tour), and courage of i, which she co-wrote with the residents of the Elyria Y, a transitional housing facility for women, and produced by Cleveland Public Theatre. She has served as artist-in-residence at Cleveland State University, Cleveland School of the Arts, and Hathaway Brown School, and has been teaching in The Cleveland Play House's Young Playwrights Workshop for the past six years. Her solo piece, The Eighth Wonder of the World, was produced by Dobama's Night Kitchen and won a Scene Award for Best Solo Performance. January 16 - 18 The Eclectic Circus created by Aaron Bonk, John Flower, Vincent J. Polowy, and Cassandra Vincent Not under the Big Top, but out of the BIG [BOX] comes the Eclectic Circus. Magic, mime, juggling, clowning, sideshow, and the spoken-word are included in this multi-disciplinary performance. Four artists come together as EC, bringing together magic, music, mime, dance, juggling, and clowning, all in a visual and electric evening! January 23 - 25 The M.A.N. (a.k.a. The Magnificent Arrogant Nigger or I Never Learned to Dance Like Fred Astaire) Written, directed, and performed by Alex P.

Jack Ragotzy, founder of the landmark summer stock company, The Barn Theatre= in Augusta, Michigan, died Dec. 15 of a heart attack in his home on the gro= unds of the theatre, one day shy of his 82nd birthday.

New York-area press agent Charlie Siedenburg, who spent formative years work= ing at the Barn as one of the nicknamed "Barnies," sent out the sad news via= press release. Siedenburg =E2=80=94 one of countless showfolk whose careers= were touched by Mr. Ragotzy and his wife, Betty =E2=80=94 started at the Ba= rn as an apprentice actor in the late 1980s and ended up being the troupe's=20= press rep into the early 1990s.

------_=_NextPart_001_01C3C648.F5C4287F-- >From sgordon at clevelandplayhouse.com" The Cleveland Play House is casting a role in its upcoming production of Far Away, by Caryl Churchill. This will be the first area production of one of last season's most celebrated new plays. The role is "Young Joan," a very sweet and innocent young woman who is between ten and twelve years old. The actress appears in one scene of the play, though the character is the focal point of that scene. The role will require an Actors' Equity Association contract, and so the actress will need to be a member of AEA or be prepared to join AEA. Auditions for this role will take place on Saturday afternoon, January 10 between 2PM and 5PM at the Cleveland Play House, 8500 Euclid Avenue, by appointment only. For an appointment and for more information, please respond to this email or call Seth Gordon at 216 795 7000 x207.
