Be sure to arrive in time to take part in the beginner jitterbug lesson from 8pm to 9pm with Loreto Agdinaoay and Megan Hallstrom. We always review the basic Jitterbug step, review the fundamentals of leading and following, and then show a few new moves.

These lessons are appropriate for brand new dancers all the way up to advanced dancers. You will not be disappointed! Immediately after the lesson (at 9 PM) The Mike Petrone Band will kick off an awesome night of music and swing dancing until 12am. Only $12 per person. $5 for first time attendees. No need to RSVP or buy tickets in advance. Pay in cash at the door. The Waterloo Ballroom at the Slovenian Workman's Home is located in the very artsy and lively Collinwood neighborhood. The address is 15335 Waterloo Rd, Cleveland, Ohio 44110. The sign for the Slovenian has been taken down so please look for the sign for Waterloo Brew. Our entrance is just to the left of them. The Slovenian not only has a beautiful ballroom; they also have a well stocked bar. They have alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks of all kinds for sale--including a very special Slovenian beer- Lasko! There are TWO parking lots to the right of the ballroom and there is also some street parking as well. However, if you can carpool with friends that would be recommended. We also have a security guard who keeps an eye on the hall and both parking lots. For more info please call or email Valerie at 216-374-1927/info(a)gethepswing.com The sign for the Slovenian has been taken down so please look for the sign for Waterloo Brew.

ROLES: 2 Black females, 2 Black males, 1 White male. WHEN: Weds, Oct 14 at 6 pm, and Sat, Oct 17 at 11 am.

PLEASE EMAIL CONVERGENCE-CONTINUUM ARTISTIC DIRECTOR, CLYDE SIMON csimon(a)convergence-continuum.org) IF YOU WILL BE AUDITIONING, AND ON WHICH DATE (you can attend both days if you want) or with any questions. BOOTYCANDY tells the story of Sutter, who is on an outrageous journey through his childhood home, his church, dive bars, motel rooms, and even a nursing home. The play tells his story through scenes, sermons, sketches and meta-theatrics. (Sort of In Living Color and Saturday Night Live style, and very non-politically correct.) All except Actor Two play multiple roles ACTOR ONE: Black Woman (age 20-30), plays Young Black Mom, Adella, Big Shirley, Writer 1, Young Sibling, Intifada ACTOR TWO: Black Man (age 20-30), plays Sutter ACTOR THREE: Black Woman (age 30-40), plays Eudarrie, Lucy, Writer 2, Middle Aged Mother, Genitalia ACTOR FOUR: Black Man (age 30-40), plays Reverend Benson, Writer 3, Stepfather, Larry, Old Granny ACTOR FIVE: White Male (age 20-40), plays Roy, Clint, Moderator, Officiant, White Man NOTE: This is a gay satire so there will be some guy-on-guy kissing. If this is a problem, then this aint the play and theater for you. Also, maybe there might be some brief nudity on the part of Actor Five.
