Commissioned by the Heights Libraries in commemoration of the 150th anniversary of the end of the Civil War and first performed in February 2015, "CIVIL WAR LOVE LETTERS is drawn from actual correspondence to and from soldiers on both sides of the conflict. Read by WordStage actors Tim Tavcar and Agnes Herrmann, these letters reveal the human face of this tragic time. The result is tender, heartbreaking and often amusing, and will be enhanced and underscored with music of the era played by Jan C. Snow on the hammered dulcimer. Join WordStage for this first West side performance of “Civil War Love Letters,” Friday, September 25, 7:30pm, in the Lakewood Presbyterian Church's Wright Chapel at 14502 Detroit Avenue at Marlowe in Downtown Lakewood, OH.

Cleveland Play House Script Club- The Crucible- at Beachwood Library
by Margaret Reardon via NEohioPAL 23 Sep '15

23 Sep '15

CPH Script Club- The Crucible Beachwood Branch of Cuyahoga County Public Library Wednesday September 30 at 7:00 pm. Cleveland Play House’s Script Club is everything you love about a book club - but with a play in the spotlight! First, check out a copy of the script from one of our partner libraries and read it at home. Then join CPH Artistic Staff at the library for a free-flowing exploration of the story and characters, with inside insight on how CPH artists take a play from page to stage! The village of Salem is run wild with tales of witchcraft. Deep-seated jealousies, lust and greed are bubbling to the surface from the heat of each neighbor’s exaggerated accusations. Revenge has replaced reason; mere rumors are now damning evidence — and no one is safe. Astoundingly relevant, Arthur Miller’s controversial American classic dares to put us all on trial. Beachwood Library is located at 25501 Shaker Blvd, at the corner of Shaker Blvd and Richmond Rd, in Beachwood. Please register at www.cuyahogalibrary.org or call 216-831-6868.

Props needed!
by Great Lakes Light Opera via NEohioPAL 23 Sep '15

23 Sep '15

Hello NeOhioPal! We the Great Lakes Light Opera are looking for props for our next show. If you have any of the following, and you are willing to donate or sell them very cheaply, please contact me at greatlakeslightopera1(a)gmail.com. We are a nonprofit organization, and all donations are tax deductible. Thank you for your help! Props needed: Prop gun (something pre 1945) Tambourine King's crown Hand mirror with matching hair brush Crystal ball Bolt of red silk Steamer trunk We're also always in need of props and costumes, so if you have anything else you would like to donate, we will happily accept it! About us: The Great Lakes Light Opera (GLLO), founded in 2012 by Stephanie Kreutz and Jacquelyn Mouritsen, has been dedicated to bringing high-quality, professional-level performances to Cleveland audiences. After going dark for a season, the Great Lakes Light Opera has a new administration and mission. Although the company will still be bringing professional-level opera to Northeast Ohio, GLLO has revised its mission: To offer Cleveland an educational and outreach-focused/oriented opera company that seeks to connect with all audiences, from the seasoned opera-goer to those with no previous exposure to classical music of any kind. We will achieve this mission by: - Reaching out to atypical venues in order to perform “portable” concerts of opera scenes and other vocal art music. - Educating audiences of all ages by presenting lecture recitals, which give the audience/performers an opportunity to connect with the text/history/theory behind classical music. - Programming unique operas, concerts, and revues with the aim of piquing the interest of the community. - Mining Cleveland’s rich community of artists and musicians who are equally committed to de-mystifying and revitalizing the traditional art music scene. Megan Thompson Executive Director, Great Lakes Light Opera GreatLakesLightOpera1(a)gmail.com

Seeking crew for CLE48Hour Film Project
by Scott Szego via NEohioPAL 22 Sep '15

22 Sep '15

I am an independent filmmaker who is working on the upcoming Cleveland 48 Hour Film Project. During this event we will be making a short horror film in just 48 hours on the weekend of October 16-18. I am currently looking for a few people to join my team. Specifically, I would like to find an editor who has experience editing with Premier, After Effects, and Mocha. Someone who can do double duty as a cinematographer would be ideal. The 48 Hour Film Project requires that we work quickly, so we need someone who will be able to handle this time constraint. The second position that we need to fill is a special effects makeup artist. We need someone who can create special effects such as scars, wounds, and various scary faces. All creative work needs to be done during the weekend of the contest, so we do not know the specifics of our film at this time. It is a fast paced and exciting event. Are you up to the challenge? Reply if you are creative and can work quickly. If you would like more details, please contact me! I welcome all inquiries. Thanks for reading and I’ll be seeing you at the movies!
