Huntington Playhouse will present present "The Addams Family" from October 22 to November 15. Performances are on Fridays and Saturdays at 8:00 PM with one Sunday matinee on November 15th at 2:00 PM. There is a Halloween performance where we are encouraging patrons to come in costume and get photos with the cast after the show. It's every father's nightmare. Wednesday Addams, the ultimate princess of darkness, has grown up and fallen in love with a sweet, smart young man from a respectable family - a man her parents have never met. And if that weren't upsetting enough, Wednesday confides in her father and begs him not to tell her mother. Now, Gomez Addams must do something he's never done before - keep a secret from his beloved wife, Morticia. Everything will change for the whole family on the fateful night they host a dinner for Wednesday's 'normal' boyfriend and his parents. Reservations are suggested and may be made by calling 440-871-8333 for tickets. Huntington Playhouse is located at 28601 Lake Road in Bay Village, Ohio.

by Martin Friedman via NEohioPAL 20 Oct '15

20 Oct '15

------------------------------ *Lakeland Civic Theatre announces * *A Still wonderful and original musical play* *Into the Woods* Music and Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim Book by James Lapine Directed by Martin Friedman Set and Lighting Design by Trad A Burns Musical Direction by Jordan Cooper Costume Design by Tesia Benson Sound Designed by Eric Simna Production Stage Management by Nichole Vencl *The Play:* *Into the Woods. * Sondheim-light right? Well, I am not so sure that is what you will get as either an audience member or an actor. I like to think that this group of theatre artists, including Sondheim, Lapine, Burns, Cooper, Benson, Simna and Friedman think outside the box and look at things a bit differently. We look at this musical play not just to do it differently, but rather to take a look at an old friend and see how much WE have changed. *Audition Information: * *Auditions will be held on October 25 and 26 between 7pm and 10pm at Lakeland Community College in Building D. **Please prepare TWO contrasting Sondheim pieces, each16-32 bars long. Jordan Cooper, the musical director, will choose one of the songs for you to sing. **You need only come to one of the audition dates. YOU DO NOT NEED AN AUDITION TIME. JUST SHOW UP AND WE WILL HAVE YOU SING and then READ. We will have a CALLBACK, if needed, on Wednesday, October 28 between 7:15 and 9:00pm. * *ALL ROLES ARE COMPENSATED. * *UNFORTUNATELY, there no EQUITY contract for this show. * *The Roles: * *Dad/Narrator: Of course it depends upon the age of the Baker and his wife. I suspect between the ages of 35 and up.* *Cinderella**: I am ambivalent in regard to her age. I am fairly certain that I am not going to go real young (early 20's) for her. I suspect between the ages of 28 and 40.* *Baker: **Of course it depends upon the age of his wife. I suspect between the ages of 28 and up.* *Baker’s Wife**: Of course it depends upon the age of the Baker. I suspect between the ages of 28 and up.* *Jack**: I am looking between the ages of 15 and 18. * *Jack’s Mother**: Between 30 and 50 years old.* *Witch**: Of course it depends upon many things including the ages of the Baker, his wife and Dad. I suspect between the ages of 40 and up.* *Little Red Riding Hood:** I suspect between the ages of 15 and 18.* *Cinderella’s Prince:** I suspect between the ages of 30 and up.* *Rapunzel’s Prince: **I suspect between the ages of 30 and up.* *And perhaps others including: Cinderella's mother and sisters* *Production and Rehearsal Dates:* *Into the Woods **will open on Friday, February 5 and run through February 28, 2016. There will be twelve (12) shows; that is four (4) weeks of performances. Rehearsals will begin the end of November (after Thanksgiving) and will run on an occasional basis through December based upon your schedules. We will begin rehearsals in earnest on January 4, 2016 and run Sunday thru Fridays. I will NOT waste your time. * *Tickets: * *$15 for adults, $13 for seniors and $7 for all students. For ticket reservations and information call 440-525-7134 or contact Martin Friedman at* *martinfriedman98(a)gmail.com <martinfriedman98(a)gmail.com>. *

by Coeli Ingold via NEohioPAL 19 Oct '15

19 Oct '15

VOICE LESSON EXCHANGE If you would like to study singing but resist the high cost of voice lessons, consider studying voice free of charge with Coeli Ingold. The acclaimed soprano, a graduate of The Cleveland Institute of Music and Case Western Reserve, offers free voice lessons to those who cantor the Sunday Masses at St. Mary of the Immaculate Conception Catholic Church in Bedford. Noted for her “immaculate technique” (NJ Courier Post), Ms. Ingold served on the faculty of The Cleveland Music School Settlement for over a decade, where she taught private voice lessons to all ages and voice types, as well as directed the Madrigal Ensemble. She has sung in operas, recitals and with orchestras throughout the Northeast Ohio area and surrounding states, and appeared in France and Switzerland. She has been a cantor for The Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist since 1991. To learn more about Ms. Ingold’s credentials, visit http://coeli.net <http://coeli.net/> The cantor position at St. Mary's is a VOLUNTEER position in exchange for free voice lessons. Inquirers need not be Catholic, however it is suggested that inquirers be comfortable singing in a sacred setting. This is ideal for Catholics who want to become more involved in music ministry, as well as any singing student who desires the opportunity to polish their technique and performance by singing frequently.
