CPT is now accepting applications for Big Box 2016
by Caitlin Lewins via NEohioPAL 28 Apr '15

28 Apr '15

Cleveland Public Theatre Local Request for Proposals Big Box Deadline for submissions is Thursday, April 30, 2015 Big Box has been the centerpiece of Cleveland Public Theatre's season over the past twelve years. New work development is a core value at CPT, and we are always looking for the best way to support the new work by Northeast Ohio artists. Big Box has played an integral role in new work moving onto full, professional productions (at CPT and elsewhere) and the formation and growth of three local theatres. We are proud of Big Box's impact on our artistic community over the years. The idea of Big Box from its inception has been to serve as a launch pad for artists who are ready to move work forward. Big Box 2016 will focus more on this goal and we are seeking work in development that has extraordinary potential for future success. Future success includes, but is not limited to, full professional productions and tours. CPT believes that the greatest strength of Big Box is its ability to function as an incubator of new work and artistic growth. We anticipate that this greater focus will limit selection to 4 - 6 exceptional projects ready to move to the next level after a workshop production. If you have applied to the Big Box Series before-it's important that you read the new guidelines and adjust your proposal accordingly. Big Box 2016 Guidelines Big Box offers artists or groups the opportunity to self-produce original works of theatre, dance, performance art, music or genre defying performances. We open the doors and support artists experimenting, charting their own course, making their own decisions and taking their own risks. CPT offers organizational guidance through strict deadlines and clear deliverables, and provides resources of space, equipment, front-of-house, basic technical and marketing support. In Big Box 2016, CPT will be investing more in projects by providing guidance. We will invest more time, provide additional training in self-producing and may play a minimal role in the development of work. Big Box features premiere workshop productions. This series is not about huge production values. This series is for developing new work beyond a staged-reading or rough draft, but just short of a full production. This is about core artistry, not fancy finishes. The artist shouldn't get too caught up in elaborate plans, because they don't have much time in the space. However, don't confuse minimalism and resourcefulness with lack of style and quality. While CPT will produce a direct mail piece advertising the series, and therefore all of the artists/groups, it is up to the individual artists/groups to promote their own show. We will send out a press release for listings only, provide flyer templates, offer use of copy machine and may be able to help with distribution. Since the work being done is in development, there will be no critics invited. Applying for Big Box If you would like to be considered for the 2016 Big Box Series, please complete the application form. Big Box '16 Application<http://www.cptonline.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/Big-Box-16-RFP-Final1.p…> - Deadline: Thursday, April 30, 2015 (http://www.cptonline.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/Big-Box-16-RFP-Final1.p…) Once you've clicked the link, right click on the application and save.

Review of "Superior Donuts" at Dobama Theatre
by Bob Abelman via NEohioPAL 28 Apr '15

28 Apr '15

Dobama dishes out a sugar-dusted but deep-fried 'Superior Donuts' Bob Abelman Cleveland Jewish News, The News Herald, The Morning Journal Member, International Association of Theatre Critics Yes, "Superior Donuts" is written by THAT Tracy Letts, the one who wrote the Pulitzer Prize- and Tony Award-winning "August: Osage County." If you happened to see "August" at Lakeland Civic Theater last year or on tour at PlayhouseSquare a few years earlier, you may be tempted to pass on Letts' newer work. After all, "August" is a complicated, emotionally-draining drama that borders on the tragic. Although it is served with a side order of dark comedy, the laughs come at the expense of a thoroughly dysfunctional family upon the suicide of its patriarch. It is an unsentimental portrait of the human condition, albeit cleverly conceived and brilliantly written. But missing "Superior Donuts" would be a huge mistake. It, too, is cleverly conceived and brilliantly written, but these are the only things "Superior Donuts" has in common with anything else Letts has written to date. It is, in fact, a sweet, tender, joyous celebration of the human spirit. And it is an unabashed comedy. The play is being given a spectacular staging at Dobama Theatre.
