by Annie Kitral via NEohioPAL 01 Jun '15

01 Jun '15

To my fellow neohiopals, Please come see "Beyond the Mask", a Christian action-adventure romance film set during the international turmoil of the revolutionary war. It's a wonderful period piece starring Andrew Cheney, Kara Killmer, John Rhys-Davies (with a supporting role by your fellow neohiopaler, Annie Kitral). Go to BeyondtheMaskMovie.com to see a trailer and find out where and when it will be playing. We're trying to get it to the Cinemark at Valley View, Ohio, so you might try calling the Cinemark there at 216.447-8820 and ask the manager when they are planning to screen it. A great big 'Thank You' to all my dear neohiopalers (especially Fred Sternfeld). Below please find a brief synopsis of the film . I hope to see you at the movies . and I hope you enjoy the film ... again, Thank You . !!! The leading mercenary for the British East India Company, Will Reynolds has just been double-crossed and now is on the run in the American Colonies. Working to redeem his name and win back the affections of the woman with whom he's never been fully truthful, Will now hides behind a new mask in hopes of thwarting his former employer. As his past life closes in on him, Will must somehow gain the trust and the help of his beloved Charlotte-as well as Ben Franklin-while he races against time to defuse a plot of historical proportions. Coming to theaters Spring, 2015, BEYOND THE MASK is a revolutionary new family film that brings history to life in a faith-filled adventure celebrating grace, liberty, and the true freedom that can only be found in Christ.

Review of "Always... Patsy Cline" at Actors' Summit
by Bob Abelman via NEohioPAL 01 Jun '15

01 Jun '15

'Always. Patsy Cline' a jukebox gem at Actors' Summit Bob Abelman Cleveland Jewish News, The News Herald, The Morning Journal Member, International Association of Theatre Critics A country-western song can take you from hello to heartache in just under three minutes. So it is little wonder that the songs and story of country singer Patsy Cline can be covered in just two 45-minute acts in Ted Swindley's "Always. Patsy Cline," currently on stage at Actors' Summit in Akron. Actually, this jukebox musical is more about the performance of the songs (including such hits as "Back in Baby's Arms," "Walkin' After Midnight," "I Fall to Pieces" and "Crazy") than the story. Nothing is learned about the music itself and little is learned about Patsy Cline (Jennifer Browning) outside of the 24 hours she spends with the show's direct address narrator, Louise Seger (Chanda K. Porter). Seger is a fan who happens to befriend Cline before a performance at the Esquire Ballroom in Houston in 1961, just as Cline is getting famous and two years before the singer would die tragically in a plane crash at the age of 30.

Review of "The Young Man From Atlanta" at Beck Center for the Arts
by Bob Abelman via NEohioPAL 01 Jun '15

01 Jun '15

Beck Center's 'The Young Man From Atlanta' goes south Bob Abelman Cleveland Jewish News, The News Herald, The Morning Journal Member, International Association of Theatre Critics Two reasons to see Horton Foote's "The Young Man From Atlanta," currently on stage at the Beck Center, are the remarkable performances by Dudley Swetland and Anne McEvoy. But these may be the only reasons. Like the never-seen title character in this 1995 Pulitzer Prize-winning drama, much of what is enticing on the page never shows up on the stage.
