[NEohioPAL] Fine Tuning is Back!

[Joanne Durante]

Fine Tuning Moves to "New York"

Fine Tuning, a Readers Theater program featuring new works by local writers, 
will resume this month in Downtown Chardon, Ohio. Our new locale will be the 
New York Deli, which is located on the South East corner of Wilson Mills 
Road and Water Street. Actors will be putting new works "on their feet" 
every fourth Monday from spring through December. These free programs start 
at 7 p.m. and end before 10 p.m.

The April program will feature a springtime fable, The Lamb - a one-act play 
with original music. The script is by Joanne Durante; original music by 
Julie Childers and Nicky Bucur. Also on the program is a poem by Grace 
Butcher, titled Tenacity and a reading from a novel-in-progress, Pre-Dent, 
by Laurel Beth Gans.

The Fine Tuning program format allows writers to hear their works read by 
actors before an audience, and to engage the audience in discussion of their 
scripts, inviting the audience to participate in the exciting process of 
developing new work. For local actors, who may not have the time to commit 
to a fully staged production, the program provides an opportunity to fine 
tune their talents on challenging new work.

Live musical accompaniment will be provided by Roxbury. The program is free 
and open to the general public, and is held in the party room of the New 
York Deli, where dinner fare, beverages, and desserts will be available from 
their full menu.

Please check out this month's scripts on line and let us know if you are 
interested in reading for us. Actors arrive between 5:30 p.m. and 6 p.m.; 
audience at 7 p.m. For more information or to participate in the program,
