Olde Towne Hall Theatre
by Lisa Carter via NEohioPAL 28 Jan '16

28 Jan '16

Open auditions for Moon over Buffalo are set for February 7, 2016 from 1-3 (stage) and February 8, 2016 from 7-9 (green room) at the theatre. Our address is 36119 Center Ridge Rd. North Ridgeville, Ohio 44039. Moon Over Buffalo is a raucous farce about a dysfunctional theater troupe performing at the Erlander Theatre in Buffalo, New York, in 1953. The diva lead actress, Charlotte Hay, is barely tolerant of her philandering semi-alcoholic husband, George, and mishaps and confusions arise for the company when presented the opportunity of famed film director Frank Capra attending a performance to possibly cast the two for a movie. Their temperamental daughter Rosalind splits time between fiancé Howard and ex-fiancé Paul, who works as the company’s stage manager. Charlotte’s nearly-deaf mother, Ethel, and Richard, a would-be suitor for Charlotte, make their contributions to the mayhem as Eileen, a young actress in the company, reveals her pregnancy to all. The hopeful actors sprint through the tangle of confusion to produce a woefully misbegotten mixture of two different plays in their hoped-for presentation piece, and in the play’s climactic scene, manage to set everything right by still more series of coincidences and mishaps. Overall, Moon over Buffalo is a fast-paced and energetic night of entertainment. What will happen on audition day? We’ll warm up with some improvisation exercises and examine your ability to take direction. We’ll do some physicality exercises and examine your ability to perform some of the physical stunts as well as see how convincing you are as a drunk. We’ll do some vocal exercises and listen to your high-British accents and stage voice. Finally, we’ll do some readings from the script. This process may be different than other auditions in that your ability to read a piece of paper is of less importance than your ability to take direction and develop an onstage character. George Hay-50ish Lead actor at a repertory theater. The actor must be able to do strong physical comedy which could include pratfalls, running, stage slaps,stage combat (fencing), etc. Charlotte Hay-50ish George's wife and actress in his troupe. Physical role requiring good hand/eye coordination (fencing). Ethel-70ish Charlotte's nearly-deaf mother. Grumpy, trouble-maker, gets in George's face, woman with a huge, balanced stage presence and strong comedic skills. Rosalind (Roz) Hay-20-30 George & Charlotte's daughter, who left the stage to lead a "normal" life. Must be able to do strong physical comedy. Requires heavy make-out scene with Paul and must be able to do an upper-class British accent. Howard-Early 30s A TV weatherman and Rosalind's fiancé. Must be able to do strong physical comedy. Eileen-20-30 An actress in George's company who was George's "one-night-stand." Pretty, flighty and naïve. Paul-Early 30s The stage manager for George's company. The actor must be able to do strong physical comedy and Roz’s ex-fiancé. Requires a heavy make-out scene with Roz and must be able to do an upper-class British accent. Richard-50ish A love sick lawyer who is courting Charlotte. Very well dressed stiff, arrogant uppity lawyer type with smooth polish. Show dates: April 22, 23, 29, 30, and May 1, 6, 7 Show times: 7:30 p.m. (Except May 1st is at 3 p.m.) -- *Lisa L. Carter* elprofecarter(a)gmail.com

Seeking advice
by via NEohioPAL 28 Jan '16

28 Jan '16

I have a 16 yr old who is studying Opera with a voice coach. It has been recommended by college professors and current working Opera Professionals that she attend an intensive summer conservatory such as Interlochen. The issue I have is that I support a family of 4 on a teachers salary and pay for the voice lessons with my tax return. Interlochen costs $9000 for a six week high intensive course which would help her prepare for college and college auditions. There are other conservatory courses that are half the cost (some reputable and some not). Even with financial aid the out if pocket cost would be more than I could afford. So I am seeking advice on how to find funding for her. Here is a list of obstacles: Live in a small town that doesn't allow door to door sales unless you are the school or scouts. Not permitted to sell anything in school that's not for school. The school can not help! We do NOT belong to a church. I have looked for grants and have been unable so far to locate ones that fit our needs. Family doesn't have money to give. Friends live an hour away and don't travel to our town for parties that offer free drinks, they won't travel here for a concert/fundraiser. I've had a GoFundMe page offering gifts at different levels for almost 2years and have raised $0! Thank you for any and all information Autumn Sent from my iPad
