Auditions this Saturday at CPT! The Loush Sisters Love Dick’ns: Great Expectations
by Caitlin Lewins via NEohioPAL 13 Aug '15

13 Aug '15

Cleveland Public Theatre announces Auditions for The Loush Sisters Love Dick’ns: Great Expectations Created by Liz Conway, Michael Seevers, Jr. & Beth Wood Directed by Beth Wood Looking to cast… 2 – 3 funny women (over the age of 18) who can sing/carry a tune, move/shake your maracas, and don’t take themselves too seriously, to join the dysfunctional Loush Sisters. Specific characters will be created based on the actors cast. About the play… Holly and Jolly Loush (aka The Loush Sisters) return to the stage for a bawdy, boozy holiday cabaret. Fueled by song, sidekicks and a hefty dose of “holiday cheer,” the Loush Sisters reinterpret A CHRISTMAS CAROL as you’ve never, ever seen it before. World Premiere. About The Loush Sisters… Originally created in 2003 for a Cleveland Public Theatre special event, The Loush Sisters have become a favorite of CPT audiences, performing in 2011 at Playhouse Square’s 14th Street Theatre and in 2013 at CPT with The Loush Sisters DO the Nutcracker to critical acclaim. The brain children of Liz Conway, Michael Seevers, Jr. and Beth Wood, The Sisters are an unapologetically raunchy, lounge-singing duo. (Imagine Saturday Night Live’s Sweeney Sisters (1980’s) but raunchier & more inappropriate.) About the process… There may be a workshop period to develop material from September 16th – October 21st. There may be 1 – 2 rehearsals a week during this period for some cast members. Full rehearsals will begin October 26th with 5 – 6 rehearsals a week. Performances are November 27th through December 19th; Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays in CPT’s Gordon Square Theatre. Auditions… Saturday 8/15: 1p-3p Auditions are by appointment only and will be conducted in a group setting. Auditioners must attend the full session. What to prepare… § 1-2 minute contemporary comedic monologue § 16 bars of a POP song; bring sheet music in your key (a cappella and CD accompaniment are acceptable) § Be ready to improvise as a member of the Loush Family § Dress appropriately for shimmy-ing and movement § Bring your sense of humor and be prepared to play and have fun! To schedule an audition appointment, please email New Play Associate, Caitlin Lewins at clewins(a)cptonline.org<mailto:clewins@cptonline.org>. Be sure to include your name, email address, phone number and preferred audition date & time in your email. No phone calls please.

LAND OF CLEVE REVIEW: 'Green Day’s American Idiot' at Beck Center for the Arts is Powerfully Provocative
by Cleve Land via NEohioPAL 12 Aug '15

12 Aug '15

*LAND OF CLEVE REVIEW: * *'Green Day’s American Idiot' * *at Beck Center for the Arts * *is Powerfully Provocative* *American Idiot*'s plot follows the stressful splintered lives of three childhood friends who are experiencing the growing pains of adulthood. Johnny (Dan Folino) is the restless one who heads to the big city to pursue his musical career and find true love, but ultimately becomes an addict and gets lost along the way. Tunny (Jonathan Walker White) also leaves home, but eventually enlists in the military and serves in a war. Will (Riley Ewing) wants to join them on their adventure, but has to grow up quickly after his girlfriend (Annalise Griswold) shows up pregnant. Artistic Director Scott Spence stages the show with stadium-quality sights and sounds, plenty of pyrotechnics that add up to a definite wow factor. Co-Musical Directors Larry Goodpaster and Bryan Bird deliver bigtime on the musical front, while Choreographer Martín Céspedes (aided by Dance Captain Holly K. Harris) never lets the performers rest for more than a few minutes. Heading up the cast, Folino is perfect as the angst-filled Johnny, and White and Ewing are equally strong as his slacker buddies. Other standouts include DeVon Settles as a charismatic Army recruiter, Joe Virgo as a truly scary drug dealer, and Kristen Hoffman as Will's sympathetic but strong-willed girlfriend. Olivia Kauffman makes an especially indelible impression as Johnny's elusive love interest. The vocally versatile and physically flexible ensemble plays an impressive array of supporting roles, and includes Mike Brandt, Kyle Burnett, Adam James Cooper, Carlos Cruz, Tekla Gaughan, Trey Gilpin, Codie Higer, Devon Jordan, Pat Miller, Danny Simpson, Carleigh Spence, Danny DiMarino, Richie Gagen and John Lagucki... *READ THE FULL REVIEW HERE:* *http://inthelandofcleve.blogspot.com/2015/08/cleve-review-green-days-american-idiot.html <http://inthelandofcleve.blogspot.com/2015/08/cleve-review-green-days-americ…>*
