[NEohioPAL] 90's Cartoon

[Shannon Jamison]

I believe the poster is thinking of Histeria.  This was the late 90's cartoon about history, starring Father Time.

Rabbit Run looks to put on lovely ‘Rita’ 
 
Bob Abelman
News-Herald, Chagrin Valley Times, Solon Times, Geauga Times Courier
Member, International Association of Theatre Critics 
 
This preview appeared in the News-Herald 8/14/09
The price tag on an Oberlin College liberal arts education next year will top $50,000, something of a milestone in the cost of higher education. 
In fact, tuition at many local schools, including Kent State, Youngstown State, Wright State and Case Western Reserve universities have risen for this coming semester.  
To help overcome a big budget deficit, state lawmakers recently reduced funding for Ohio College Opportunity Grants and terminated a state-wide internship program that put college students to work at local businesses.  
It would come as no surprise if the advertising in the current playbill at Rabbit Run Theater was dominated by public and private colleges and universities instead of local restaurants and orthodontists.  The colleges and universities could use the positive exposure.
Opening this eveningat the pastoral Madison Township playhouse is Willy Russell’s intelligent comedy Educating Rita, which pays homage to education and its ability to transform lives and save souls.  Forget about advertising.  The production should be underwritten by the Ohio Board of Regents.
 
Rita is a young hairdresser with an ignorant, lower-class husband, a self-perception laden with worthlessness, and an insatiable curiosity about poetry and literature.  Desperately seeking to alter her existence by improving her mind, she walks into the college office of a pompous, aging, creatively bankrupt literature professor.  He has an addiction to alcohol and a desperate need to be rescued from his own remorse and self-destruction.
 
OK, maybe this shouldn’t be underwritten by the Ohio Board of Regents.
 
“This show is about choices and change,” observesdirector Ann Hedger.  “It’s about overcoming the fear of making a choice and embracing the consequences of the changes that are made.”
 
The concept of a flawed but privileged man taking an underprivileged woman under his tutorage and instigating change is not new.  As Frank, the college professor in Educating Rita would no doubt know, his play is based on a story in ancient Greek poet Ovid’s Metamorphoses, in which the sculptor Pygmalion falls in love with an ivory statue he has made.  He gives her life and they marry.  This, in turn, served as inspiration for George Bernard Shaw’s Pygmalion, which begat the Lerner and Loewe musical My Fair Lady, which begat the film Pretty Women and many other related tales.
Willy Russell’s work is a fine adaptation, notes Hedger.  “It is a play of words and it is brilliantly written, full of wonderful language of the common folk and the educated folk in England.”
In fact, the playwright has said that he wanted to make a play that engaged and was relevant to those who considered themselves uneducated, those whose daily language is not the language of the university, or the theatre.
In this Rabbit Run production of this two-character play, Nancy Shimonek Brooks is Rita and Tom Milligan is Frank.  “Nancy brings an energy that fleshes out Rita’s freshness and hunger for knowledge, and Tom has been working diligently to find every nuance in his wonderful character.  I'm thrilled to work with both of these actors,” says Hedger.
This play addresses complex themes but is simply written and accessible, void of all the allusion, allegory, and symbolism that fills the literature to which its characters make reference.
It does possess a bit of irony, however.  Rita is pursuing an education in English Literature.  In today’s economy, this would be an education she could ill afford and, in the end, would land her a job as a hairdresser.
Details
 
What:     Educating Rita
When:   Today through August 29 (8 p.m., Thursdays to Sundays).
Where:  Rabbit Run Theater, 5648 W. Chapel Rd., Madison Township. 
Tickets: $15 to $17

Hi folks,
 
How do you handle advance sale tickets?  We are hosting a couple of well-known performance groups and would like to have advance sales, but it is more than we can ask of our office staff. Is there a local agency that anyone has used successfully?
Thanks,

Into the Woods’ captures the imagination
Published: Sun, August 9, 2009 @ 12:00 a.m.
By Tracey D’Astolfo
SALEM — Fans of Stephen Sondheim’s dark and witty wordplay and music would be well-served in taking in Salem Community Theatre’s production of “Into the Woods.”
The musical is directed by Michael Dempsey, a New York-area theater professional and Salem native.
Dempsey demonstrates that he knows his Sondheim. With the help of mega-talented music director Jon Simsic, SCT’s “Woods” is a confident and sure-handed presentation, peopled by a uniformly solid cast that brings flair and individuality to each character.
The three-hour play (with intermission) does seem to flag early in the second act — especially after such a fun first half — but that’s no fault of the director. It’s inescapable, as the book (written by James Lapine) takes a lot of time to lay the groundwork for the life lessons it unearths.
“Into the Woods” deconstructs several Brothers Grimm fairy tales. Cinderella and her stepsisters, a couple of princes, Rapunzel, a childless baker and his wife, Jack (of beanstalk fame) and some other characters literally head into the woods — a metaphor for the tragic-heroic journey that life sometimes forces upon us. Their stories intertwine brilliantly in the dark and mysterious forest as the characters pursue their dreams.
By the time they come out, lessons are learned. To wit: Actions can lead to consequences that might not be so pleasant, so be careful what you wish for.
Salem productions are usually marked by their professional-looking sets and costumes, and ”Woods” is a perfect example. Take some time with the perspective in the forest backdrop; the realism had to take a lot of time and shows the theater’s devotion to detail.
Speaking of detail, director Dempsey uses wonderful gadgetry to bring the fairy tales to life, including a living tree and a silhouetted Grandma’s House where the wolf lies in wait.
Every cast member is tasked with blending musical-theater chops with a mythical character, and each succeeds with flying colors. They get to the core of each character’s primary motivation and then make it personal.
Praising the cast is a where-to-begin situation, but let’s start with Lauren Teminsky’s Little Red Riding Hood, just because the Canfield High School junior adds so much unexpected brassiness and fun to the role.
Rob Dumovic as the prince who woos Cinderella is sharply drawn, glibly charming and hilarious. But when he dons the wolf costume and mask, Dumovic creates a theater scene that will be remembered for a long time. His cartoonish movement — you can’t see his face — as the lascivious wolf brought a supernatural howl of delight to the audience.
Amanda Beagle is a vivacious and determined baker’s wife, who ranges from aggressive to subservient in pursuing what she wants (a baby). She also gets to employ her standout singing ability.
The cast also includes Amy Russell, who is marvelous as the evil witch (and a riveting rapper!); Josh Lewis as the humble and conflicted baker; Kelsey Crismon, innocent and pure as Cinderella; Dan Huston, right on as the simple Jack; Eric Kibler as the narrator and mysterious man in the forest; Susan Prosser as Jack’s mother; Lindsay Heath, who shrieks and sings as the unstable Rapunzel; the imperious Sarah Durham as the stepmother; Doug Mondell (Rapunzel’s prince); and Courtney Stewart and Connie Baer as the rotten stepsisters.
Also: Kari Langford (Cinderella’s mother); Dave Wack (the prince’s steward); Ralph Dumovic (Cinderella’s father); and Kathie Steeb and Natalie Ricciutti (Snow White and Sleeping Beauty).
“Into the Woods” will be presented at 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday and Aug. 21-22 and at 2 p.m. Aug. 16 and Aug. 23. The theater is at 490 E. State St., Salem. Call (330) 332-9688.

Press Release

Canal Fulton Players will be holding auditions for “Moon Over Buffalo” on August 25-26

 The Canal Fulton Players at the UMC Family Theatre are proud to announce that they will be holding auditions for the raucous slapstick comedy, Moon Over Buffalo, by Ken Ludwig, on August 25-26, 2009 at 7:00 pm each night.  The auditions will be held at the United Methodist Church of Canal Fulton, 363 West Cherry Street, Canal Fulton, Ohio.  The performances for this play will be on October 16-18 and 23-25, 2009.  Rehearsals will begin on August 31, 2009.
 
 The play, which is produced by Samuel French Inc., will be directed by David Van Gaasbeek.  The auditions, which are open and newcomers are encouraged to participate, will include all eight parts.  Those parts are:
 
 (1) George Hay- an over the hill actor who is trying to use the road shows of Cyrano de Bergeac and Private Lives by Noel Coward to jump start his sagging career, is in his late forties or early fifties in age.
 
 (2) Charlotte Hay- George’s wife and leading lady, who cannot understand why time has passed her by.  She, too is in her late forties or early fifties in age.
 
 (3) Ethel- Charlotte’s mother, who is the jack of all trades, and who is selectively deaf.  She is in her late sixties.
 
 (4) Rosalind Hay- George’s and Charlotte’s daughter, who has left the acting troupe, for greener pastures and love.  She is in her twenties.
 
 (5) Howard- Rosalind’s fiance, who is absolutely enamored with the fact that he is marrying into the famous Hay family of actors.  He also is in his twenties.
 
 (6) Eileen- The new actress in the troupe who somehow has a great deal of affection for George.  She is in her twenties.
 
 (7) Paul- Rosalind’s former love and the business manager and member of the acting troupe.  He is in his thirties.
 
 (8) Richard- The acting troupe’s lawyer and agent.  He likes George but loves Charlotte.  He is in his late forties or early fifties.
 
 The play is based in Buffalo during 1953.  The troupe is performing Cyrano at night and Private Lives in the afternoon.  George and Charlotte have been relegated to the road because their movie careers stopped due to lack of appeal.  They have one shot left when two famous stars cannot perform due to injury and the famous Frank Capra is coming to see them act.  Everything is going fine until Eileen lets them in on a secret and Rosalind announces that she is engaged.  After that everything comes apart or does it?
 
 For further information, call David Van Gaasbeek at 330-494-1022 or 330-854-4387 for details.

Hi everyone!
I am doing research and cannot recall the name of a WB cartoon,It was very entertaining and had a great opening sequence.  I believe came out late 90's early 2000 or so...anyway It was a great cartoon that taught lessons in history and geography and the only characters I can recall was "Big Fat Baby" and "Father Time". I remember that I...ahem...I mean my kids, really enjoyed it!
