ROMMEL AND PATTON REPLACES MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING
On May 10, after only four people appeared for the auditions of William=20
Shakespeare=E2=80=99s Much Ado About Nothing, Director Dave Van Gaasbeek de=
cided to put=20
that play in hiatus because there are fifteen parts in the play. After=20
reviewing his options, Mr. Van Gaasbeek decided to stage a romantic comedy=20=
which he=20
wrote twenty three years ago. Called Rommel and Patton, a love story, the=20
play deals with a small community theatre in a fictional Ohio town staging=20=
a=20
romantic comedy for four actors. At the beginning of the play, the directo=
r=20
and the producer are congratulating one another over a sure shot critical a=
nd=20
financial success even before the play enters into rehearsal. Their=20
enthusiasm is soon dashed when they learn that the lead man has been transf=
erred to=20
Portland, Oregon and the lead lady is ordered to bed when she discovers she=
is=20
pregnant. =20
=20
Faced with possible cancellation, the remaining cast members and the=20
suddenly deflated director and producer try to find replacement actors. Th=
ey=20
succeed in finding two actors willing to fill in at the last moment but at=20=
a=20
horrible cost. Both actors are known to be opinionated and temperamental.=20=
=20
Further, they hate one another so much so that they fight continuously when=20=
they=20
are together. What follows is the comedy of the whole situation as the =20
director, producer, cast and crew try to survive a battle which dwarfs some=20=
of =20
the major World War II battles. Nicknamed =E2=80=9CRommel and Patton=E2=80=
=9D, these two =20
actors manage to practically bring the house down even before the curtain go=
es =20
up. The net result- a director who makes Captain Queeg of the Caine Mutiny=20=
=20
look like a sane person, a producer who mocks everyone, and two supporting =20
actors who wish they could go to the bathroom to avoid the horrid confronta=
tions.=20
What else happens- Well! you=E2=80=99ll have to come and see.
=20
Adam Leventhal plays Joe Morrison, the very opinionated and talented=20
lead actor, who does not think twice to give his opinion on anything that g=
oes=20
on at the theatre. His foil, Carol Norris, is played by Lisa Van Gaasbeek.=
=20
Carol is highly talented but she has been playing it safe recently. However=
,=20
she will rail if anyone says that she cannot act. Keeping these two apart=20
from one another is the director, Jane Merrick, played by Stephanie Cochran=
. =20
Jane who expected a nice pleasant experience finds that she is getting =E2=
=80=9Ctoo old=20
for all of this.=E2=80=9D Meanwhile, her business agent and producer, Tom=20
Johannsen, though fearing Carol, cannot wait to zing her again when she ope=
ns herself=20
up to criticism. Tom is played by Gerald Perry. The two supporting roles=20=
=20
are Toni Pasquale, played by Jamie Orlando, and John Richmond, played by Nat=
e =20
Cochran. Toni is the consummate cheerleader and optimist who always seems =20=
to=20
get to rehearsal even if one of her family members is sick with the flu. =20
John is the man who has started acting in community theatre mostly to get a=
way=20
from home and seems to be compliant due to his out and out fear of the =20
director.
=20
The play is in two acts and will be presented in the Fellowship Hall=20
Theatre. It will be presented in a theatre in the round format similar to=20=
Bus =20
Stop.
=20
Rommel and Patton, a love story, twenty three years in the making
=20
Twenty three years ago, Director and writer Dave Van Gaasbeek starred i=
n=20
The Tender Trap at the North Canton Playhouse. Though getting good reviews=
=20
as Charlie Reader, the swinging bachelor, Dave said that it was a truly=20
trying experience. =E2=80=9CTender Trap was the greatest melodrama I ever=20=
acted in. Too=20
bad it was a romantic comedy,=E2=80=9D Mr. Van Gaasbeek said.
=20
The reason was a clash between the lead actor and actress over=20
practically everything in the play. =E2=80=9CI can=E2=80=99t remember her=20=
name but she and I did not=20
get along at all,=E2=80=9D he said. =E2=80=9CThe funny thing is that we ha=
d to=20
convincingly kiss each other night after night. That we did but I think we=
wanted to=20
tear each other=E2=80=99s lips off while doing it. It was that bad.=E2=80=
=9D
=20
After the play ended to good reviews, Mr. Van Gaasbeek and Evelyn Meyer=
,=20
the assistant director to the production, went to visit the director of the=
=20
production at Aultman Hospital. She had suffered from a bad case of=20
exhaustion keeping the two combatants from killing each other. Mr. Van Gaa=
sbeek,=20
exhausted also, decided to take a different way of handling the situation.=20=
He=20
penned a short one act play which he called Rommel and Patton. It proved t=
o=20
be good therapy because he felt great after finishing it. He also thought=
it=20
was a nice exercise but he did not think it would ever see the stage. He =20
threw the play into a file cabinet for future reference. He never intended=20=
to=20
use it for anything.
=20
That is until only four actors showed up to audition for fifteen parts i=
n=20
Much Ado About Nothing. Faced with a possible cancellation, Mr. Van=20
Gaasbeek decided to find another play. =E2=80=9CThe great thing about Shak=
espeare is that=20
he is in the public domain and there are no royalties. I did not want to t=
ake=20
on a play that could lose us money due to the late switch. I was reading=20
some of my work that I have done over the years and decided that we were in=
big=20
trouble. That is until a file folder fell on my foot while I was rummaging=
=20
through the file cabinet that stores my rough drafts. You guessed it. It=20
was Rommel and Patton,=E2=80=9D said Mr. Van Gaasbeek.=20
=20
Reading it for the first time since 1983, Mr. Van Gaasbeek saw=20
possibilities. However, he had to beef it up to make a two act play. =E2=
=80=9CRemarkably, it=20
only took me two lunch hours at Arby=E2=80=99s to complete three scenes,=
=E2=80=9D he said. =20
The finished result will be presented on the nights of July 20-23. =20
=20
If completing the script was hard, finding the cast proved to be more=20
challenging than anticipated. Stephanie Cochran and Lisa Van Gaasbeek were=
=20
immediately cast as Jane Merrick and Carol Norris. A young lady had been c=
ast as=20
Helen Johannsen, the assistant director, but scheduling problems caused her=
=20
to withdraw. Another woman was cast but she too withdrew due to schedulin=
g.=20
At that point, Mr. Van Gaasbeek killed Helen and resurrected her as Tom=20
Johannsen, the producer and business agent. He was going to play the part=20=
until=20
Gerald Perry came to an audition. Perry proved to be perfect for the part.
=20
Nate Cochran who is also in the chorus for North Canton=E2=80=99s Aladdi=
n was=20
cast as John Richmond soon after rehearsals began. Exhausted from two dema=
nding=20
parts in Bus Stop and Blithe Spirit, Nate wanted the lesser of the male=20
parts. Jamie Orlando took on the part of Toni Pasquale as soon as school e=
nded. =20
A first time actress, Jamie fit the role better than she thought. A cast=20
was forming. =20
=20
However, for three weeks, Mr. Van Gaasbeek looked for Joe Morrison=20
without success. Many men expressed interest but scheduling was a major ob=
stacle.=20
In a fit of desperation, Mr. Van Gaasbeek asked the lay leaders of his=20
church to announce auditions for the part. No one bit. Going to the Inter=
net=20
sites he uses, Mr. Van Gaasbeek announced several times the audition for th=
e=20
role. Finally, in mid June he found Joe Morrison. Adam Leventhal arrived=20=
and=20
the play has taken off. Adam is the tonic that has made this play move.
=20
Mr. Van Gaasbeek states that this is part of the challenge of starting a=
=20
community theatre. He never doubted that a production would take place. =20
With this cast, he is ready to bring forth a love story between two people=20=
who=20
cannot stand one another. Will it work or will it not? Come see. For tho=
se=20
who think it will or it reflects actual life, just remember. Mr. Van=20
Gaasbeek cannot remember the name of the young lady he clashed with twenty=20=
three=20
years ago. For that he is eternally grateful.
=20
COME SEE US AT CANAL DAYS
=20
The United Methodist Church of Canal Fulton will have a booth at the=20
Canal Days Festival on July 13, 14, 15, and 16. The theatre will be mannin=
g the=20
booth on July 15 from 2:00 to 5:00 pm. This is a way to meet the members o=
f=20
this fledgling theatre which is experiencing its growing pains this year. =20
=20
2006-2007 Season on hold while New Minister arrives
=20
With Rev. David Case, a member of the committee overseeing the=20
operations of the theatre, being assigned to a parish in Ontario, Ohio, beg=
inning July=20
1, the theatre is waiting for the arrival of Rev. James Ellison to assume=20
the parish at Canal Fulton and the seat on the oversight committee. David=20=
Van=20
Gaasbeek has submitted his proposals for the 2006-2007 season and has won=20
approval from Rev. Case but both of them believe that as a courtesy to Rev.=
=20
Ellison, the announcement of the season be delayed until he arrives. As so=
on as=20
the proposals are approved or changed, the Theatre will announce its=20
2006-2007 season.
=20
The Theatre appreciates all the support and input that Rev. Case gave=20
this past year and the members wish his wife, Esther, and him good luck in=20=
his=20
new home in Ontario, Ohio. =20
