casting one role for Easter 1916 Song and Story (Irish history theme)
by Jack Kilroy via NEohioPAL 17 Jun '15

17 Jun '15

I am seeking an male actor to portray Irish rebel leader Patrick at the age of 36 in a small but important role. The actor would read the Easter 1916 proclamation, which declared Irish independence and kicked off the 1916 rebellion. An additional scene would involve a segment of Pearse's oration at the graveside of O'Donovan Rossa. http://www.easter1916.ie/index.php/people/signatories/p-h-pearse/ The overall show involves a narrated musical history of the Irish Easter 1916 Rising. Email if interested. -- Jack Kilroy Tel. 440-759-1253 * People who say it cannot be done should not interrupt those who are doing it.* (George Bernard Shaw, Irish writer) http://www.facebook.com/pages/John-P-Kilroy-Co-LPA/227957677221720 www.jackkilroy.com

Press Release For additional information Please contact: Neil Thackaberry 330-374-7568 *ALWAYS . . . PATSY CLINE* *Extends Run at Actors’ Summit* Actors’ Summit, Akron’s professional theater, announces that the four week run of *ALWAYS . . . PATSY CLINE,* based on a true story and written by Ted Swindley, has been extended by two weeks. The show opened Friday night, May 29. *ALWAYS . . . PATSY CLINE* is now scheduled to perform through Sunday, July 5. The added performances will be given Friday and Saturday nights at 8:00 P.M. and Sundays at 2 PM, and take place at Greystone Hall, in downtown Akron. The show is appropriate families. “With sold out and nearly sold out performances, with the raves of both critics and audience members, we just didn’t want to let ‘Patsy’ go,” said MaryJo Alexander, director of the production and Artistic Co-Director of Actors’ Summit. *The Play* Over a pot of strong coffee, two women chat about their common concerns. When one of them, Patsy Cline finally left for Dallas, the two women had exchanged addresses and telephone numbers. Seger never expected to hear from Cline again, but soon after she left, Seger received the first of many letters and phone calls from Cline. The play focuses on the fateful evening at Houston's Esquire Ballroom when Seger hears of Cline's death in a plane crash. Seger supplies a narrative while Cline sings the songs that made her famous -- *Anytime, Walkin' After Midnight, She's Got * *You, Sweet Dreams, and Crazy*--to name a few. The show combines humor, sadness and reality. It offers fans who remember Cline while she was alive a chance to look back, while giving new fans an idea of what seeing her was like and what she meant to her original fans. *Performers:* The show features *Jennifer Browning* as Patsy Cline, *Chanda Porter* as Louise Serger, with musical direction by *JT Buck*. *Alex Briski *stage manages, and *MaryJo Alexander* directs.

LAND OF CLEVE REVIEW: 'A Little Night Music' is a Summer Serenade That Pleases All the Senses at Porthouse Theatre
by Cleve Land via NEohioPAL 16 Jun '15

16 Jun '15

LAND OF CLEVE REVIEW: 'A Little Night Music' is a Summer Serenade That Pleases All the Senses at Porthouse Theatre *A Little Night Music's *director and choreographer Sean Morrissey has impressively staged the show as if all the action takes place in a life-sized musical jewelry box, cleverly designed by Ben Needham. The players, props and set pieces spin into place on a central revolve, allowing viewers to become voyeurs into the characters' proper yet passionate lives. Morrissey's controlled pacing also ensures that each line of Sondheim's intensely intricate lyrics is heard, aided by Brian Chismar's sparkling sound design. The women in the piece are as mesmerizing as they are heartbreaking. Terri J. Kent is effervescent as Desiree, possessing both the star quality and emotional *joie de vivre* required for the role. Lenne Snively powerfully portrays the regal Madame Armfeldt, Amy Fritsche is deliciously divine as Charlotte, Shamara Costa makes a lovely and lusty Petra, and Lucy Anders is a sheer delight as the impetuous young Anne. The men also make their mark in the production, especially excelling in comedic characterizations. Fabio Polanco is ideal as the agitated Fredrik, a middle-aged man exhibiting all the symptoms of a turn-of-the-century midlife crisis. He is matched by jaunty Jim Weaver as Count Carl-Magnus, a puffed-up dragoon who demands the fidelity of both his wife and his mistress. Julian Kazenas is hilarious as a repressed ball of teenage hormones and Henrik, and Jared Dixon and Jimmy Ferko add some humorous touches as house servants. Narrating the action are an elegant and evocative quintet of singers, including Ian Benjamin, Allisyn Just, Katey Sheehan, Dane Castle and Lindsay Simon...

Lakeland Auditions: Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?
by Martin Friedman via NEohioPAL 16 Jun '15

16 Jun '15

Lakeland Civic Theatre announces *AUDITIONS* for *A compelling play* *Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?* By Edward Albee Directed by Martin Friedman Sound Designed by Eric Simna Production Stage Manager Nichole Vencl *Featuring **Gregory Violand** * *Courtesy of *Actor’s Equity Association *The Play: Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?* Written in 1962 by Edward Albee <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Albee>. It examines the breakdown of the marriage of a middle-aged couple, Martha and George. Late one evening, after a university faculty party, they receive an unwitting younger couple, Nick and Honey, as guests, and draw them into their bitter and frustrated relationship. *Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?* won both the 1963 Tony Award for Best Play <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tony_Award_for_Best_Play> and the 1962–63 New York Drama Critics' Circle <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_Drama_Critics%27_Circle> Award for Best Play. Its stars won the 1963 Tony Awards for Best Actor and Actress as well. It was also selected for the 1963 Pulitzer Prize for Drama <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulitzer_Prize_for_Drama> by that award's drama jury. However, the award's advisory board – the trustees of Columbia University <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Columbia_University> – objected to the play's then-controversial use of profanity and sexual themes, and overruled the award's advisory committee, awarding no Pulitzer Prize for drama in 1963.[23] <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Who%27s_Afraid_of_Virginia_Woolf%3F#cite_note…> The play was revived on Broadway <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broadway_theatre> at the Longacre Theatre <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longacre_Theatre>, opening in March 2005 in previews and closing on September 4, 2005 after 177 performances and 8 previews. Bill Irwin won the 2005 Tony Award for Best Actor <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tony_Award_for_Best_Performance_by_a_Leading_…> for his role.[14] <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Who%27s_Afraid_of_Virginia_Woolf%3F#cite_note…> On December 12, 2010, the Steppenwolf Theatre <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steppenwolf_Theatre> in Chicago <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicago>, Illinois <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illinois> began performances of the play featuring Amy Morton <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amy_Morton> as Martha, Tracy Letts <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tracy_Letts> (the Pulitzer Prize <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulitzer_Prize>-winning playwright of *August: Osage County <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/August:_Osage_County>*)[16] <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Who%27s_Afraid_of_Virginia_Woolf%3F#cite_note…> as George. Tracy Letts won the Tony award for his portrayal of George in this production. The dialogue has been hailed by some critics as some of the greatest in all of the American theatre. *Production and Rehearsal dates:* *Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? *will open on Friday, September 18 and run through October 4, 2015.
