[NEohioPAL] The Manhattan Project Makes America Great Again!

[Manhattan Project via NEohioPAL]

Between 1942 and 1945, J. Robert Oppenheimer gathered the most brilliant
minds of the age at Los Alamos, New Mexico to create something awesome and
terrible.  The Manhattan Project - Cleveland Lab seeks to do the same for
the Cleveland stage.
Better and Better!
Like a fine Ohio Riesling or a salmon salad sandwich, The Manhattan Project
just gets better and better with age!  We're thrilled for you to taste what
we've set out for you in the hot August sun!

What exactly is The Manhattan Project - Cleveland Lab?

The Manhattan Project is a low-stakes, nonthreatening place for actors and
playwrights to meet and work together.

Based on the Theatre Lab model taught at the Carnegie Mellon School of
Drama and inspired by The Brooklyn Generator in New York, The Manhattan
Project wants to introduce Cleveland actors and playwrights to each other
by organizing a bi-monthly production of brand new 10-minute plays.

Participating artists will meet early in the month and will be broken into
teams, each with one playwright.  The playwright will then be given a
writing prompt to write a new 10-minute play based on the prompt and
including all the team's actors.  The rest of the evening the team members
will get to know each other and get a feel for each other's skills and
voices.

The teams will reconvene later in the month to perform these plays for each
other.

These 10-minute plays are not an end in themselves.  Through these small
collaborations we hope to build relationships between the two most
vulnerable artists in theatre; the actors who put themselves on stage and
the playwrights who pour themselves onto the page.  Perhaps these 10-minute
plays will grow into longer works or maybe these collaborations will become
partnerships on larger projects.

If you'd like to participate, please RSVP at TrinityCrater at gmail.com or
introduce yourself at out next event.
