16 Dec '15

Press Release For additional information MaryJo Alexander 330-374-7568 *Guys On Ice* * only 4 more performances! * *Actors’ Summit Theater* *Actors’ Summit* Akron’s Professional theater continues with it’s performances of *Guys On Ice, the Ice Fishing Musical *on stage now through Dec 20th, 2015. *The Play* *Guys On Ice*, is an outrageously funny musical that is sprinkled with a copious supply of fish tales, fishing jokes, and fishy figures of speech, not to mention the dozen or so songs that graced the stage with their catchy tunes and clever lyrics. Appropriate for all ages, this little gem is a great family show. *Guys on Ice* spends a day in the life of Marvin and Lloyd — fishing buddies and home-grown philosophers. With musical numbers like, "The Wishing Hole," "Ode to a Snowmobile Suit," "Fish is the Miracle Food" and "The One That Got Away", this is a show for the entire family. It has a message of friendship and family, perfect for the holidays. *The Cast* *Frank Jackman, (Lloyd) *is an *Actors’ Summit Theater* company member. He has performed in over 30 roles over the past 17 seasons. *Bob Keefe , (Marvin)* is also a company regular at *Actors’ Summit*. He was last seen in *The Book Club Play* this past February. *Shawn Galligan , (Ernie the Moocher*); recently returned to *Actors’ Summit* where he has appeared in over a dozen shows. Shawn is a stage manager/ actor with the *Northern Sky Theatre *in Door County Wisconsin , where *Guys On Ice *originated in 1998. *Rave Reviews for Guys On Ice* *Kerry Clawson of Beacon Journal*, “The show stars the ever-funny *Frank Jackman*, who, even when his character Lloyd is over-emoting as he bursts into song, has a bright spirit that shines through. He created an authentically disarming moment with the emotional ballad *Everything is New*, a tune about the beauty of ice fishing early in the morning when the rest of world is asleep….*Bob Keefe* also is fully invested in his simpleton character Marvin, whose main goal in life is to win the heart of a cashier at the Pick ‘N’ Save. The two share some inspired moves via synchronized Velcro and zipper sound effects as they perform *Ode to a Snowmobile Suit*. “ *Chuck Yarborough*, of the *Plain Dealer* commented “… it’s the Hope and Cosby road picture that was never made.” *Mark Horning of axs.com <http://axs.com/>* *“… *witty and a true delight to watch... Spend a delightful evening with these “Ice Hole Philosophers” as they sing, dance and joke their way into your heart. This gem of a show is well worth the short drive fromCleveland. You Betcha.” *Performance details * *Guys On Ice *performances are Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights at 8:00 P.M. and Sundays at 2 PM, now thru Dec. 20th,2015. *Tickets:* Tickets are on sale now through the box office at 330-374-7568 and online at www.actorssummit.org.

Five days to "Harvey" auditions
by Joey Cayabyab via NEohioPAL 16 Dec '15

16 Dec '15

Auditions for "Harvey" directed by Joey Cayabyab Gates Mills Players 1460 Chagrin River Rd, Gates Mills, OH 44040 Monday and Tuesday (12/21 and 12/22) between 7p and 9p Wednesday, 12/23 between 7p and 9p Callbacks The Characters in Harvey (in alphabetical order) Ethel Chauvenet: Mrs. Chauvenet is an old friend of the family. She is a member of the town’s social circle that Veta desperately wants Myrtle to break into. May Double as Betty Chumley. Betty Chumley: Dr. Chumley’s kind and talkative wife. Can be a scene stealer in the hands of the right actress. Same actress may double as Ms Chauvenet. Dr. William B. Chumley: is an esteemed psychiatrist and the head of Chumley’s Rest He is a difficult, exacting man who will go to any length to protect the reputation of his sanitarium, but his interaction with Elwood and Harvey will reveal an unexpected vulnerability. Elwood P. Dowd: is the central character of the play, a charming eccentric who’s best friend is Harvey, an invisible six-foot-tall rabbit. Elwood is well mannered, friendly and kind definitely “old-School”. Elwood is Veta’s older brother but the age difference needn’t be dramatic. The actor who plays Elwood will also need to create the Character of Harvey with a little help from Veta and Chumley. Judge Omar Gaffney: The judge is an old family friend of the Dowds and, the family’s lawyer. The audience should sense a fondness for Veta that may indicate an unexpressed infatuation. Ruth Kelly (Nurse): is a sympathetic character, a pretty young woman who appears to have some sort of love/hate relationship with Dr. Sanderson. We see both sides expressed throughout the show. E.J. Lofgren: is a cab driver who’s monologue about his sanitarium passengers is crucial to the climax of the play. He has a single scene near the very end and would have a very limited rehearsal schedule. Dr. Lyman Sanderson: is young and highly qualified psychiatrist, hand picked by Chumley. His talent is only surpassed by his vanity. He is as infatuated with Nurse Kelly as she is with him, though he struggles not to let on. Myrtle Mae Simmons: Myrtle is Veta’s Daughter (Elwood’s Niece). Both Veta and Myrtle are about the business of finding Myrtle a man to marry-a mission that is made impossible with Elwood and Harvey constantly popping in. Myrtle is extremely self-centered. Veta Louise Simmons: Elwood’s younger sister, Veta has returned to the family home after the death of her mother and is intent on landing a suitable husband for her daughter Myrtle Mae. She is very concerned about fitting into society and all the social proprieties that that involves. She also loves her older brother Elwood very much. This is the dynamic that drives the action of the play. Wilson: is the muscle of Chumley’s Rest, a devoted orderly responsible for handling the patients who will not cooperate voluntarily. He sets his sites on Myrtle soon after meeting her. Be prepared to read from the script provided at the audition dates and times.

Music Director Needed!
by Ted via NEohioPAL 15 Dec '15

15 Dec '15

Strongsville Community Theatre is currently looking for a Music Director for our Spring show, "Clue, the Musical." We are excited to be producing an “out of the box” version in Strongsville Old Town Hall, which is the perfect setting (a historic building that perfectly matches the time period/atmosphere) We intend to go cleverly minimalist in terms of scenery, etc. -- the hall is enough! We are having fun paring everything down to bare bones in the most daft and creative of ways. We are thinking in terms of a cabaret/murder mystery atmosphere, with tables, and adult beverages. *The music would be reduced to simplest form.* *Just piano, no other musicians. *Because of this, we should be able to reduce music rehearsals (to be determined together with the director). Auditions are Sunday, January 17, (2-5 PM) and Monday, January 18, (7-9 PM) with callbacks Wednesday, January 21, (7-9 PM) Rehearsals are scheduled for Monday through Thursday, (7- 10PM) starting Monday, February 16, and th Show dates are 4/22, 23, 24, 29, 30 and 5/1 Friday and Saturday 8PM, Matinees at 2PM Sunday. Michael Columbro will be directing, and Ted Larsen will be his assistant director. We hope to hear from you. All the best, and Merry Christmas,
