    /OPEN AUDITIONS FOR.../

      JULY 21: THE ROAR OF THE GREASEPAINT - THE SMELL OF THE CROWD

Musical director Stephen A. Eva and director Don Edelman team up for 
Leslie Bricusse and Anthony Newley's "The Roar of the Greasepaint -- The 
Smell of the Crowd" - their fifth annual musical event. The full Chagrin 
Falls Studio Orchestra performs on stage, with songs like "Who Can I 
Turn To?" and "Feeling Good."

The show is a music-hall allegory that examines the British class 
structure of the 1960's. "Sir" and "Cocky", who represent the upper and 
lower classes, play a game with ever-changing rules advantageous to 
"Sir". It is as up to date as ever and relevant to the USA's 2-party 
structure.

In Yasmina Reza's Tony award winning comedy (translated by Christopher 
Hampton), the parents of two 11-year-old boys meet to discuss their 
sons' playground tussle, but after a few drinks begin their own 
fighting! A film adaptation by Roman Polanski appeared in 2011.
