CPT now accepting applications for the 2015/2016 Nord Playwright Fellowship
by Caitlin Lewins via NEohioPAL 22 May '15

22 May '15

CPT's Nord Playwright Fellowship Application Deadline: June 1st, 2015 CPT's Nord Playwright Fellowship is a year-long program for a local emerging playwright supported by the Nord Family Foundation. CPT initiated this program to provide greater support to the region's playwright community and to nurture active artists. Up to two residencies may be awarded in 2015, which includes a $2,000 stipend for the playwright, development support and a workshop production. Please note that CPT is investing over $15,000 in staff time, support and direct costs associated with the residency. Based on writing samples and one complete play, we will select a playwright with extraordinary potential. This resident artist will be given space at the theatre to write, create and rehearse work. Additionally, the program provides access to CPT's artistic staff and is eligible for the theatre's development programming. The residency is also an opportunity to be on site at CPT over the course of the year, interacting with and learning from designers, actors, directors and other writers. Eligibility * Applicant must be a resident of Northeast Ohio. * Applicant cannot be a Full-Time Student * Applicant must have significant available time to work on major artistic projects. Rehearsals and other commitments are typically in the evenings and on weekends. The obligations of this fellowship will make it difficult to have outside artistic projects. Selection Criteria We are not looking for the most accomplished playwright, rather an early-career playwright, someone who has demonstrated ability and extraordinary potential, but is still defining their voice as a playwright. This program is open to playwrights who work in a variety of processes including directing/devising playwrights and conventional writers of scripts. We want to have the largest impact on the community as possible, so we are looking for a playwright who is at the "right time" in his/her growth to most benefit from the residency. We are looking for someone who is hungry for experiences as a playwright and also is enthusiastic about being an active member of our community at CPT. Applications will be reviewed by CPT's artistic staff and collaborators. The first round of reading will be facilitated blind - without applicants' names. During round one, only "Writing Sample A" will be read. This sample must include a script and should be the applicant's best and most complete work. For playwrights whose work extends beyond the page, video samples will be allowed in addition to the script. Rounds two and three will be conducted with the applicant's name attached. "Writing Sample B", will be reviewed by the panel if selected to move on to rounds two and three. Interviews will be held with the finalists. Applying for the Residency If you would like to be considered for the 2015-2016 Nord Playwright Residency, please follow the application instructions below, and submit electronically to New Play Associate Caitlin Lewins (clewins(a)cptonline.org<mailto:clewins@cptonline.org>).

Costumer needed for The Producers at Cassidy Theatre
by The Cassidy Theatre via NEohioPAL 22 May '15

22 May '15

*The Cassidy Theatre seeking a Costume Designer for our 2015, production of The Producers.* *Production dates are June 12th – 28th 2015.* The costume master/designer, will be responsible for the overall look of the clothes and costumes for this production. The costumer will be in charge of designing, obtaining, making, and altering costumes for the production. Responsibilities: · study the script · discuss ideas with the production designer, director, and lighting designers · create costume ideas to fit the production’s design concept and budget · research suitable costume styles, fabrics and designs · candidates must be able to sew costumes as needed for the show. · buying or renting outfits · fitting, altering and adapting costumes · cleaning, ironing and mending Synopsis of Show- A down-on-his-luck Broadway producer and his mild-mannered accountant come up with a scheme to produce the most notorious flop in history thereby bilking their backers (all "little old ladies") out of millions of dollars. Only one thing goes awry: the show is a smash hit! The show follows the antics of Max Bialystock and Leo Bloom as they maneuver their way fecklessly through finding a show (the gloriously offensive "Springtime for Hitler"), hiring a director, raising the money and the consequences of their actions. At the core of this insanely funny adventure is a poignant emotional journey of two very different men who become friends. All interested candidates should submit their statement of interest and resume directly to director Kristin Netzband at knetzband(a)gmail.com immediately. We look forward to hearing from you.

Started in the basement of a flower shop, it is an artist driven event that sees over 100 audience members, 30 performances and 6 non-stop hours of art. Most months include an art gallery, showcasing the talents of a local visual artist. Sign ups to perform begin one-half hour (7:30 pm) before performances (8:00 pm) start. Anyone may sign up for a 10-minute slot. An emcee, drum kit and sound system (with operators) are provided. Ruben Ryan – improv star – is this month’s emcee. ALL varieties of acts are encouraged to perform. Previous acts have included: monologues, acoustic musicians, play readings, comedians, experimental art, dancers, scenes from plays, improv, devised work, full rock bands and performance artists.

Those under 18 are permitted to attend (and perform!) with adult supervision. The #EPCooker is not just an Open Mic, it is an open and welcoming community of artists. It is also a great networking event, a great place to improve stage presence and a great place to develop as an artist. Pub Bricco has a full bar and a wide selection of food. Food and alcohol are permitted in the theatre. About the Emcee: Ruben Ryan started doing “weird hippy theatre” with Standing Rock Cultural Arts in Kent when he was no older than 11.

Currently, Ruben is a member of Just Go With It– Akron’s only long-form troupe.

Improvements can be made while maintaining a performance schedule, but one must be careful and diligent. As a teacher, I am patient and thoughtful. I was brought to a higher level by a GREAT rehab practitioner after 15 years of tension in my throat and I know how it was done. New singers: learn to breathe for singing.
