The North Canton Playhouse presents: "Evil Dead" the Musical
by North Canton Playhouse via NEohioPAL 21 Oct '16

21 Oct '16

"EVIL DEAD" The Musical Presented by North Canton Playhouse at The Factory of Terror Directed by Marci Saling Lesho Performance Dates: November 3 - 20 Where: The Factory of Terror, 4125 Mahoning Rd NE, Canton, OH 44705Tickets: $20 Performance dates, times, details and tickets can be found at www.northcantonplayhouse.com on the "Ticket Link".Tickets can be purchased online at www.northcantonplayhouse.com (an online processing fee required for purchase online).or by calling 330-494-1613 Monday, Wednesday, Friday from 9am-2pm. For a full night of terror, see "Evil Dead" and follow up with the Factory of Terror experience, the longest indoor haunted attraction in the world. Tickets for Factory of Terror can be purchased on site. *Everyone will be asked to sign a waiver form before entering Evil Dead the Musical at The Factory of Terror. Maybe because we are worried you won’t make it out alive; maybe because your clothes may get drenched in the soon to be deadites; either way we recommend you wear clothes that you don’t mind having Shelly’s splitter splatter on. North Canton Playhouse’s Evil Dead the Musical is just as campy and bloody as you would dream it to be, but don’t plan on sitting OUT of the splash zone – come prepared to be a part of the show…the whole show…you never know what may happen. * Synopsis: Based on Sam Raimi’s 80s cult classic films, EVIL DEAD tells the tale of 5 college kids who travel to a cabin in the woods and accidentally unleash an evil force. And although it may sound like a horror, it’s not! The songs are hilariously campy and the show is bursting with more farce than a Monty Python skit. EVIL DEAD: THE MUSICAL unearths the old familiar story: boy and friends take a weekend getaway at abandoned cabin, boy expects to get lucky, boy unleashes ancient evil spirit, friends turn into Candarian Demons, boy fights until dawn to survive. As musical mayhem descends upon this sleepover in the woods, “camp” takes on a whole new meaning with uproarious numbers like “All the Men in my Life Keep Getting Killed by Candarian Demons,” “Look Who’s Evil Now” and “Do the Necronomicon.” Outer Critics Circle nomination for Outstanding New Off-Broadway Musical“The next Rocky Horror Show!” –The New York Times“A ridiculous amount of fun.”—Variety“Wickedly campy good time.”—Associated Press

I was glued to the stage...Equally dynamic and horrifying." - New York Observer "Extraordinary. As he did in his breakthrough play A Bright New Boise, Hunter has constructed an outsize, gothic scenario in tender miniature." - New York Magazine [image: page1image18832] [image: page1image18992] [image: page1image19152] Who: none too fragile theatre What: Auditions for A Skull In Connemara by Martin McDonagh – dir. by sean derry When: Sunday, October 23rd, 11:30am – 1:30pm Where: none too fragile theatre 1841 Merriman Rd.

As the time approaches for him to dig up those of his own late wife, strange rumors regarding his involvement in her sudden death seven years ago gradually begin to resurface. 1998 - Laurence Olivier Best New Comedy Award (Nomination) "Mr. McDonagh's great strength is that he combines a love of traditional storytelling with the savage ironic humor of the modern generation... " —The Guardian (UK) “Skull-cracking craic. A twisted and deliciously dark production – witty in all the wrong places and hilarious in all the right ones – it takes a grisly set-up and bookends it with all the simplicities of country life in the early 1990s.” – The Herald “Judging by the subject matter McDonagh gravitates towards – the body count tends to be significant amid the near-hysterical laughter – it is understandable that he has been dubbed the ‘Quentin Tarantino of Irish drama’; his probing of death and violent acts while keeping the banter flowing spiritedly makes him the undisputed bad boy of the Irish stage play.” – Newsletter “This is a hilarious and bloody performance not to be missed. Hilariously weird and whacky... It’s funny how distinctly Irish it is.” - Love Belfast [image: page2image20104] Who: none too fragile theatre What: Auditions for Salvage by George Brant – directed by sean derry When: Sunday, October 23rd, 1:30pm – 3pm Where: none too fragile theatre 1841 Merriman Rd. Akron, 44313 (Enter Through Pub Bricco) Breakdown: Roberta Aspern – 60’s White Female Kelly Aspern – Already Cast – Kelly Strand Amanda Graham – Already Cast - *Derdriu Ring *(Actor’s Equity Association Member) All Who Audition: Please be prepared to read excerpts from the script.

Production Dates: May 5th - 20th, 2017 Thursdays, Fridays & Saturdays @ 8pm Sunday Matinee, 5/14 @ 2pm Monday, 5/15 @ 8pm Rehearsal Dates: April 10th – May 4th , 2017 TheStory: Danny’s sister and mother have just laid him to rest and now find themselves racing against time to rescue his prized possessions from the family basement before a flood hits. Enter Danny’s high-school sweetheart to lend a hand, but is she here to pay her last respects or to keep Danny alive forever? Press: "As the dialogue among these three women intensifies into a roller-coaster ride of vulnerability and deception, one shocking secret is revealed after another. Yet despite the harsh twists of what-ifs and missed chances, the play leaves you with the saving graces of family loyalty and endurance." - TimeOut New York "A fantastic, dark portrait of three women at the end of their rope...so rich and compelling that you can't wait to see what's around the bend." - nytheatre.com "A winner...a remarkable thread of hope...that should keep the play in production for some time." The Happiest Medium "Compelling and powerful..."wow" is too small a word." - The Balcony and Beyond "Magic...a gem of a play." - CT Out and About "A powerful piece of writing...refreshingly provocative." – Connecticut Critics Circle
