  Christmas in July

A new humor piece by managing artistic director, Benjamin Rexroad,  
written to spread cheer for the upcoming holiday!

When TJ’s family asked us to bring beer to the family Christmas  
party, they sparked a debate about good beer. Mostly, the debate  
consisted of me complaining to TJ that his mother’s insistence that  
Molson was a “good beer” was wrong.

In fact, most of the beer I’ve seen in his parent’s fridge,  
including Molson, a company that annually produces 42.1 million  
barrels of beer, is considered an American Adjunct Lager. According to  
beeradvocate.com, this means the “focus is less on flavor and more on  
mass-production and consumption.” Sounds exactly like the  
McDonald’s of beer.

Heads Up Productions presents

The Heads Up Art Circus and Auction

A Fundraising Event

Heads Up Productions presents this one-night only fundraiser to send  
Artistic Directors Benjamin Rexroad and TJ Jozsa to the prestigious  
Dell’Arte International Professional Training Program. The Heads Up  
Art Circus and Auction will be held Wednesday, July 11 from 7-10.   
(Come late! Leave early! There will be events all evening long!)  
Tickets to the spectacle are $10 or pay-what-you-can and are available  
at the door or can be reserved by calling 330.990.5138. The event is  
recommended for those 13-years of age or older and will be held at the  
Balch Street Theatre (220 S. Balch Street/Akron, OH).

Dell’Arte International is a physical theatre training school located  
in Blue Lake, California that focuses on the actor-creator and  
encompasses training in acting, voice, movement, and related physical  
skills, with specific attention to the areas of mask, commedia  
dell'arte, tragedy and clown. For more information visit www.dellarte.com 
.  Benjamin and TJ are taking this leap westward in order to advance  
Heads Up Productions’ research, training methodology and production  
techniques.

The Heads Up Art Circus and Auction will feature a cabaret-style  
performance area featuring many local acts including: theatrical  
performers, a musical improv troupe, spoken word, music and more!  Art  
from several distinguished Arkonites, including Leandra Drumm, will be  
available for bid. Robyn Cooper will emcee the night’s events.

Door prizes will be given away throughout the evening. (Winners must  
be present to collect.) Food and nonalcoholic drinks will be available  
for purchase. This mind-bending carnival wouldn’t be complete without  
a kissing booth, Henna (by the Artful Cricket), balloon artists, a  
costume photo booth, chair massage, games and some of the weirdest  
Akron sideshows that you never dreamed existed!
