With their "new old" Tuvan music, Alash stays true to the cultural traditions of their musical heritage, while blending new influences, to create a captivating and utterly unique musical experience.

Review of "First Love" at none too fragile
by Bob Abelman via NEohioPAL 13 Oct '15

13 Oct '15

Intriguing ‘First Love’ offers life by the slice Bob Abelman Cleveland Jewish News, The News Herald, The Morning Journal Member, International Association of Theatre Critics The none too fragile theater in Akron contradicts its namesake by staging Charles Mee’s “First Love,” an all-too-fragile tale about falling in love for the first time. But this play is unlike the myriad of other stories that have tapped this evergreen theme. “First Love’s” Edith and Harold are mature, sophisticated, well-read adults who meet each other very late in life and after a lifetime of experiences. And through Mee’s surreal storytelling, all the iconic moments that make up the full cycle of a long-term romantic relationship – the first meeting, the first date, the first sex, the first fight, the break up and the reconciliation – are cleverly condensed into one scene in one act. Rather than showing us Edith and Harold experiencing these moments, the two pull memories from their past relationships and narrate each glorious step and each painful misstep as if reliving them. “I think what brings people together,” says Edith, “is their common humanity and what pulls them apart is their separate histories.” We witness both in a mere 90 minutes. It’s a bumpy ride. In his memoir, ''A Nearly Normal Life,'' Mee writes that his plays, like life, are “broken, jagged, filled with sharp edges, filled with things that take sudden turns, clinging to each other, smash up, veer off in sickening turns.” Such is “First Love” and director Sean Derry’s greatest contribution is allowing veteran actors Anne McEvoy and Robert Hawkes to navigate the rough terrain on their own terms and with little interference from obtrusive lighting, set and sound design.

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 and Lapine, 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* *Cinderella* *Baker* *Baker’s Wife* *Jack* *Jack’s Mother* *Witch* *Little Red Riding Hood* *Cinderella’s Prince* *Rapunzel’s Prince* *And others* *Production and Rehearsal Dates:* *Into the Woods **will open on Friday, January 29 and run through February 21, 2016.
