[Christine Sell]

ARTISTS OF WOODLAND ACTOR AND CRAFTERS NEEDED



On Sunday, September 14, 2014, Woodland Cemetery Foundation (WCF) will
present *The Artists of Woodland*.   This is a piece, rather like *Spoon
River*, wherein actors will portray various artists from Cleveland’s past
who are buried in Woodland Cemetery.   The audience is invited to walk
around to the various grave sites and learn from the actors portraying the
artists about the life and art of each artist.   Painters, actors, writers,
poets, photographers and art patrons are included in this program and the
actors will speak to the audience through simple character monologues.



WCF is in need of five actors – all male (all female roles are
filled).  There is a small stipend offered. Interest parties should respond
to Christine Sell (contact information at the end of this email).

Woodland Cemetery is the largest municipal cemetery in Cleveland – over 60
acres and over 80,000 Clevelanders buried there.  It is located at 6901
Woodland Avenue.   WCF, a nonprofit staffed completely by unpaid
volunteers,  is helping to restore grave sites and monuments in order to
preserve the individual graves of Clevelanders and to provide a site where
citizens can go to learn about Cleveland and Clevelanders of the
past.  Within the grounds a visitor will find an Indian burial mound, an
entire section honoring Cleveland’s Civil War dead, former Cleveland mayors
and Ohio governors, the last person prosecuted under the Fugitive Slave
Act, and the founder of the Cleveland Institute of Art, and many more.  WCF
sponsors events to create awareness, to draw the public to Woodland and to
teach Clevelanders about the our local history.  You can read more about
the cemetery by visiting Woodland Cemetery Foundation website (
