FILM COMPOSER - NEEDED
by Cole Kornell via NEohioPAL 12 Sep '15

12 Sep '15

Hi there, My name is Cole Kornell and I am Writer/Director of an upcoming student short film called Unending Love. The story is about true love between two people, shown in three different time periods and if they can face the odds and stay together. It will be shot near spring. I'm already collaborating with my team for this film because there's A LOT of preproduction. The film is a time period Fantasy/Sci Fi Drama. Our costume designer, motion designer, and set designer our already at work. However, my ears are listening for this film at the same time and I would love to find a film composer who is wanting to work with me and compose the film score for this film. This is great for your resume, experience, networking, and getting your work out there! This film will be going to festivals all over! NO PAY as this is a student production, but I want it to be bigger than some small student production because it is a very ambitious project. I go to Ringling College of Art & Design (number #17 out of best 25 Film Schools) majoring in Film. Check out more at www.ringling.edu This film is my Junior Thesis and my main focus this year. I want to collaborate with talented people of many different backgrounds because that's what Filmmaking is all about! My background: I hail from Chardon, Ohio in Northeast Ohio chasing my dreams since my first film in 4th grade. I'm an actor/filmmaker having much experience both in front of and behind the camera. You can learn more about me, my passion, and experience at http://www.colekornell.com/ If you are interested please send your previous work, some bio about yourself, and a resume to unendinglovemovie(a)gmail.com Thank you very much and hope to hear from you!

QUESTIONS: email auditions(a)mightygoliath.com In a Gotham-like city, a terrible water shortage, caused by a 20-year drought, has led to a government-enforced ban on private toilets. The citizens must use public amenities, regulated by a single malevolent company that profits by charging admission for one of humanity's most basic needs. Amid the people, a hero decides he's had enough, and plans a revolution to lead them all to freedom! Inspired by the works of Bertolt Brecht and Kurt Weill, Urinetown is an irreverently humorous satire in which no one is safe from scrutiny. Praised for reinvigorating the very notion of what a musical could be, Urinetown catapults the “comedic romp” into the new millennium with its outrageous perspective, wickedly modern wit, and sustained ability to produce gales of unbridled laughter. For character breakdowns please visit: http://www.mtishows.com/show_detail.asp?showid=000280 Mighty Goliath Productions is an independent 501(c)(3) non-profit fundraising organization that benefits the performing arts of Avon Lake City Schools.

*Press Release* *For additional information please contact * *MaryJo Alexander * *330-374-7568* *alexanderm(a)actorssummit.org <alexanderm(a)actorssummit.org>* *Neil Thackaberry, Founder, * *Artistic Director of Actors’ Summit Theater* *Retires* In June of 2015, *Neil Thackaberry Founder and Artistic Co-Director of Actors’ Summit Theater* announced his retirement to the Board of Trustees of Actors’ Summit at their most recent meeting. Founded in *April 1999,* Actors' Summit, gave its first performance of *Arthur Miller's "The Price*” directed by Neil Thackaberry. Neil also performed the role of Walter. *Marianne Evett*, former theatre critic for the *Cleveland Plain Dealer* considered Actors' Summit production of * “The Price”* to be one of the top 10 productions in her career as a critic. “Neil’s retirement was reluctantly accepted by the Board of Trustees” said Peter Gerber, current Board President. “His vision has been remarkable both artistically and fiscally”. *Actors’ Summit* mission has been to “create professional theater using exclusively OHIO artists”. Actors’ Summit, a 501-c-3 nonprofit professional arts organization operates on a $300,000 budget and boasts no outstanding debt. Under Neil’s leadership the theater has produced over 130 full scale major shows, with Neil directing more than 75 of them over the past 16 seasons. Neil has performed principal roles in some 20 productions. He has also designed most of the sets and marketing materials for the theater, and served as primary grant writer for the theater. With Neil at the helm,* Actors’ Summit Theater* has commissioned scripts by *Wayne S. Turney, Bob & Pamela Noll, and Eric Coble* as well as original music by *Sebastian Birch, Daniel Taylor, and Eric Benjamin*; He also produced the world premieres of *Eric Coble’s “Girl’s Guide to Coffee” *(Part I of the trilogy which included the Broadway production of “Velocity of Autumn”) and the *World Premiere of “Manning Up” for the National New Play Network. * Actors’ Summit produced the regional premiers of over a dozen prominent Broadway shows including *"Copenhagen," "Freud’s Last Session," "Golda's Balcony," "I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change!"* and the New York Musical Theatre fringe Festival hit *“My Mother’s Lesbian Jewish Wiccan Wedding” *which was revived for the 2009 International Gay Games held last Summer in Cleveland and Akron. The theater has also relocated the entire theater (sets, lights, costumes, props, platforms, and seats) 11 times. Neil and volunteers renovated a former warehouse Hudson which was home for the company for nine years. You will still be able to catch Neil at the theater, where he will appear in the Northeast Ohio premiere of “Chapatti” by Christian O’Reilly. Brian Zoldessy will direct. “You’ll see Neil around; but his first priority is playing Grandpa to his 3 grandchildren, then acting and then gardening”, said MaryJo. “We’ve created a new title for Neil, Founder and Director Emeritus”. *MaryJo Alexander*, (Neil’s spouse of 44 years and longtime Artistic Co-Director), will assume leadership and growth of the theater. “We have an exciting season underway season full of laughter, love and music underway” said MaryJo, “season subscriptions are on sale, with complete information on our website.” For additional information call MaryJo Alexander 330-374-7568 or visit us on the web at: www.actorssummit.org. www.facebook.com/pages/Actors-Summit-Theater .
