[NEohioPAL] Casting Call for Cast Party at Nighttown

[Bruce Hennes]

*Cast Party Comes to Nighttown *

We are looking for entertainers and singers of all stripes for a wonderful
opportunity to strut your stuff.  We're bringing *Cast Party* to Nighttown
in Cleveland Heights on Thursday, October 20 at 7:30 p.m.

First, a little background.  *Jim Caruso’s Cast Party* is a wildly popular
weekly soiree bringing a sprinkling of Broadway glitz and urbane wit to the
legendary Birdland in New York City every Monday night.  *Cast Party* is a
cool cabaret and Broadway musical night-out enlivened by a hilariously
impromptu variety show. Showbiz superstars hit the stage alongside
up-and-comers, serving up jaw-dropping music and general razzle-dazzle, with
each performer singing or playing just one number.  For the past eight
years, *Cast Party* has been the ultimate spot to mix and mingle with
Manhattan show folk and their fans. Caruso guides the entire affair like a
bubbly cruise director and the audience is invited to participate in the
festivities! It’s the party that would happen if somehow David Letterman and
Ed Sullivan threw a hip house party around the nine-foot concert grand
piano!  And now, Caruso is bringing *Cast Party* to Cleveland to see what
kind of musical talent we have here.

*Cast Party* in New York City is total open mic.  However, when it comes to
Cleveland, we're going to do it a little different.  We'll still have some
open mic slots on October 20, but the vast majority of slots are going to be
filled by *Casting Call for Cast Party*, which will take place at 7 p.m.
Monday, October 17 at Nighttown. It's an open casting call for singers,
comedians and novelty actors of any all kinds to fill slots for the October
20, *Cast Party *event.  Cleveland directors Vicky Bussert and Martin
Friedman and Nighttown's own Brendan Ring will make the final selections for
the show on Thursday, October 20.

Performers selected to appear at *Cast Party* on October 20 receive free
admission to see the entire show.

*Audition Date: **Casting Call for Cast Party** takes place on Monday,
October 17, beginning at 7:00 p.m. *Bring music and piano accompanist
extraordinaire Nancy Meir will work her magic.  For more information call
Bruce Hennes at 216-321-7774 or email him at bhennes at gmail.com

*For your friends: * *Casting Call for Cast Party* on Monday, October 17 is
open-to-the-public.  There is no cover charge.  *Jim Caruso's Cast Party* at
Nighttown on Thursday, October 20 is $30 per person.  We expect a sell-out,
