House for rent, Cleveland Heights
by Deborah Magid via NEohioPAL 19 Nov '15

19 Nov '15

Folks, I'll be putting my beautiful, roomy, 3+ bedroom Cedar-Lee-located house up for rent. I'm travelling so much at this point (thank you, gods of theater!) that having it empty is a bit nerve-wracking. Excellent street and nabe, active street association, the house is partially furnished, with 3 bedrooms plus a finished attic (the previous owners used that as the master bedroom), sun porch, bath-and-a-half, updated eat-in kitchen, dining room, living room, semi-finished basement (washer and dryer), side porch, 2-car garage and additional parking for 1-2 cars. If you're interested, please reply to me privately, not to this list. smmslt111(a)gmail.com Cheers, Deborah Magid

Beck Center for the Arts Youth/Teen Theater, one of the oldest continuously running Youth and Teen Theaters in the country, will be holding auditions on November 21 & 22, 2015 for the third production of our 67th Anniversary Season: Bright Ideas Written by Eric Coble Directed by Jonathan Kronenberger The Story: How far would you go for your child? For Genevra and Joshua Bradley, the question is no longer hypothetical. Their three-year-old son, Mac, is next on the waiting list to get into the Bright Ideas Early Childhood Development Academy-and everyone knows once you're in there, your life will unfold with glorious ease. Josh and Gen have had to scramble all their lives to get this far...and now they are one fatal dinner party away from the ultimate success as parents: The Right Pre-School. You may never look at pre-school-or pesto-the same way again... Audition/Callback dates: (open to Beck Center students ages 12 to 19*) Saturday, November 21: 2:30 to 4:30pm & Sunday, November 22: 1:00 to 3:00pm Callbacks: Monday, November 23 from 5:30 to 8:00pm Starting Saturday, November 7, you may sign up for a one-hour audition slot at Beck Center Customer Service or by calling 216-521-2540 x10. *Please note: Youth Theater roles are only eligible to students who will be enrolled in our Winter/Spring 2016 semester.

*PRESS RELEASE* FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Date: 11/19/15 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Contact: Andrew Rothman From: Chagrin Valley Little Theatre 40 River Street Chagrin Falls, OH 44122 Phone: 440-247-8955 E-mail: cvlt(a)cvlt.org <mailto:cvlt@cvlt.org> Website: www.cvlt.org <http://www.cvlt.org/> Promotional PHOTOS available for download at http://www.CVLT.org/promo <http://www.cvlt.org/promo> *Chagrin Valley Little Theatre takes a "whack" at dark comedy with THE NORWEGIANS * CHAGRIN FALLS, Ohio - Looking for a humorous break from traditional holiday entertainment? The Chagrin Valley Little Theatre may have your ticket at The River Street Playhouse. A dark comedy, THE NORWEGIANS opens 8 p.m. Nov. 27, the day after Thanksgiving, and plays Friday and Saturday evenings for six performances. Directed by Yvonne E. Pilarczyk, the play is set in the cold north. Two women meet in a bar and lament the struggle to find a lover before the first freeze. The women, 'Olive,' played by Catherine Remick and 'Betty,' played by Marylee Gotch, also find themselves cursing the men who have recently scorned them. One thing leads to the next and they enlist two "not so good at what they do" hit men, 'Gus' (Nick Grimsic) and 'Tor' (Don Knepper) to dispose of their ex-lovers. However, just as the path of love has its ups and downs, hilarious twists and complications arise in this business of revenge. Does it lead to romance? Uff da! The play was written by C. Denby Swanson, a female playwright who offers a fresh new voice to contemporary comedy. It premiered in New York in 2013 and had an off-Broadway run in 2014. Fans of "Fargo" will find the style of dark, northern-American humor familiar. Show times are 8 p.m. It is best suited for adult audiences. All seats are $12. Tickets may be purchased online at www.CVLT.org or by calling the Box Office Monday through Saturday 1-6 p.m. at 440-247-8955.

CPT now accepting proposals for Station Hope // Road to Hope 2016
by Caitlin Lewins via NEohioPAL 19 Nov '15

19 Nov '15

Station Hope//Road to Hope Deadline for submissions is Tuesday, December 15th. Cleveland Public Theatre is planning the third annual STATION HOPE, a one night event of entertainment and art inspired by the history of St. John's Church and the Underground Railroad, the repercussions of oppression, and contemporary struggles for social justice on April 30, 2016. ROAD TO HOPE is a series of performances and art projects that will be programmed in various sites in the Cleveland area. Road to Hope expands our work to include other neighborhoods in our community and will offer additional opportunities for artists and audiences February-April, 2016. Station Hope Format Audiences explore the St. John's campus on the corner of W 26th St and Church Ave. With 30+ performances to choose from, attendees will encounter choirs, dance, theatre, intimate solo performance, and interactive art - all happening at the same time in multiple indoor and outdoor venues. Most Station Hope performances are 10 - 15 minutes in length, presented multiple times throughout the evening. Art installations will range from large to small, depending on the individual needs and space available. Road to Hope Format Road to Hope is a new program in development. This will be an experiment as we learn about the best way to support artists and have the maximum impact on the community. Currently we are envisioning a wide range of possibilities: * full length works * a sort of "truth vaudeville" format with a variety of acts * a mini-Station Hope event with multiple short acts in multiple spaces * community participatory performance events (like Parade the Circle) * installation and duration pieces * and a variety of other permutations. How to get involved with "Hope" These are large and complex projects, and we need a lot of support to make it a success. There are many different roles available; ranging from creative to technical assistance. Below is a list of different ways to participate in the event: Lead Artist: Lead a team of collaborators (or work individually) to create an original piece of theatre, performance, choir or visual art. A Lead Artist can be an individual or an organization. Lead Artists will be selected through an application process, outlined in this document. Actor: There will be multiple opportunities in various performances. CPT will compile and share an "Interested Actor" list with all Lead Artists. Casting decisions are in the complete control of the Lead Artists. Stage Management & Technical Support: We will need help setting up spaces and running those spaces during the event(s). Volunteer: There will be multiple volunteer needs to make this event run smoothly, such as parking assistance, ticket takers, runners, etc. CPT will forward your information to our partners that are managing the volunteers. Individuals interested in being involved in Station Hope through the following roles, Actor, Stage Management & Technical Support or Volunteer, should email CPT New Play Associate Caitlin Lewins (clewins(a)cptonline.org<mailto:clewins@cptonline.org>) with your name, contact information, role interested in filling and resume*.
