GILDA SHEDSTECKER IS CASTING GOLDEN GIRLS
by Doug Tennant via NEohioPAL 16 Aug '15

16 Aug '15

Gilda Shedstecker Presents! is casting the stars of its September parody, Gilda Strikes Gold: Golden Girls Live! At the Kathleen Howland Theatre in Canton, OH. Performances are September 18, 19, 25, 26 with the possibility of a performance added on September 20. You must be available all of tech week prior to 9/18. It is also desirable that the Girls be available to appear at First Friday in Canton on September 4. We are casting males in the roles of Dorothy, Blanche, Rose, and Sophia. Age range should be 30s - 45. We are looking for physically corresponding actors to play these iconic characters. The show is parody but tribute as well, the appearance of the Girls should be recognizable to the audience with some exaggeration, and more female impersonation, less drag. If interested please contact director Doug Tennant at dougtennant(a)gmail.com. Include a non-drag face shot, full body shot, and which character you are most interested in AND indicate whether you will play any of the four. Please include your experience. These are non-professional and uncompensated roles. Potential cast will be scheduled to read. Rehearsals will begin immediately. Thank you!

by AFFLICTION MOVIE via NEohioPAL 14 Aug '15

14 Aug '15

The producers of AFFLICTION, the Cleveland based inspirational film about tragedy over triumph, needs unpaid extras to fill roles as Cavs fans in a very cool scene in the movie. It's no pay but it'll be fun and won't take a lot of time (we are planning on filming for about 2 hours). Extras will get screen credit, too. We will film based on convenience to our extras. NO EXPERIENCE NEEDED!! This s a great way to break into film easy. This is a legitimate independent film that has garnished support from many reputable constituents. It's a family film. If you are interested please reply with a picture and contact number. We welcome all types and ages, and minors must get parental permission and be accompanied by an adult on set. We are aiming to film this scene next weekend (8/21 or 8/22) or the following if absolutely necessary. To participate you must have wine and gold colored clothing that a fan would wear, but we cannot film Cavs official logos and trademarks. If you can commit to a night shoot starting around 10pm and going until midnight please reply to afflictionmovie2015(a)gmail.com. We'd love to have you in this scene!! You'd be more in the foreground than the background!!

Staged Reading of 'Goosetown' by JT Buck this weekend in Akron!
by JT via NEohioPAL 14 Aug '15

14 Aug '15

Goosetown: The Devil's Milk, Part 2 The Center for Applied Theatre and Active Culture (CATAC) and New World Performance Lab (NWPL) are pleased to present the second series of open rehearsals of scenes and songs from "Goosetown: The Devil's Milk Part 2," on Friday and Saturday, August 15, 16 at 8pm and Sunday, August 17 at 2pm at The Balch Street Theatre, 220 South Balch Street, Akron OH, 44302. This drama with songs is written and directed by Akron theatre artist JT Buck and performed by an ensemble of regional actors and musicians. The story of the play is drawn from historical narratives both real and imagined. A feedback session will take place following each performance. Admission to this work-in-progress staged reading is $10. Reservations can be made by calling 330-867-3299 or online at devilsmilk2.bpt.me Akron in the early 20th century was an apocalyptic nightmare of spiraling growth, race and labor riots, suffrage and temperance, clashing languages, plagues, floods, world wars, booming evangelists and economic busts. "Goosetown" tells the story of a man, a rubber worker, pulled from the hills of West Virginia, railroaded north and sent to work on the line at Akron Rubber Company. He finds a place to sleep in the arms of a desperate single mother in the mostly German neighborhood of Goosetown. Her son, Ken, is a bright and ethereal figure who inspires the worker's devotion at first sight. But Goosetown is a strange place, built defiantly atop a mysterious ravine with a gothic cathedral at its center, ruled by a rigid social network, and filled with secrets that refuse to be buried. The times and the terrain not to mention the obsessive machinations of a powerful industry tycoon whose heart has been blackened by greed and grief--all seem to conspire to destroy the man's simple mission: save the boy. Actors include Jennifer Browning, recently seen in "Always...Patsy Cline" at Actor's Summit, Curtis Blind, Mark Seven, DeAndre Hairston-Karim, Brandon Meeker, and Laura Stitt. Costume design is by Inda Blatch-Geib and lighting design by Chris Hariasz and Kix with technical assistance from Robert Keith and visual contributions by Akron artist Chuck Ayers. The Devil's Milk Trilogy NWPL in conjunction with the Center for Applied Theatre and Active Culture (CATAC) will do initial development of "The Devil's Milk Trilogy" in six intensive two-week work sessions between March and November 2015. Each work session will culminate in an open rehearsal and talkback session with the public. "Death of a Man: The Devil's Milk, Part 1" was presented in March and May to great critical and audience acclaim. "Goosetown: The Devil's Milk, Part 2" had its first work session with open rehearsals in June. "On the Devil's Strip: The Devil's Milk, Part 3," directed by NWPL co-artistic director and University of Akron Theatre professor James Slowiak, will begin development in September. The third part will focus on Akron in the 1930s and culminate in a town hall meeting about the current state of the city. The entire trilogy is slated to begin performances in 2016 at the company's home base, The Balch Street Theatre, 220 South Balch Street in Akron. Each part of the trilogy will stand on its own as a performance event and take on a very distinct theatrical form and style, providing a stimulus and forum for a frank discussion about the city and the rubber that shaped it. A grant from The Knight Foundation will help pay for artists' stipends during the development process and allow CATAC/NWPL to offer ensemble members and local theatre artists the opportunity to refine their craft. About CATAC and NWPL CATAC serves as the administrative umbrella for NWPL, an internationally acclaimed ensemble of theatre artists that has been active in Northeastern Ohio since 1992. Since taking up residence at The Balch Street Theatre in 2011, CATAC has produced a number of exceptional NWPL productions including "Virginia Woolf's ORLANDO" and "Gilgamesh: He Who Saw Everything" as well as hosting various theatre companies such as Studium Teatralne from Poland, TAPIT Theatre Ensemble from Madison, WI, and Ma'Sue Productions.
