An Afternoon of Lerner & Loewe at Playhouse Square
by Joanna Hunkins via NEohioPAL 09 Nov '16

09 Nov '16

*Almost Like Being in Love: The Songs of Lerner and Loewe* *November 20, 2016 | 2:00 PM* Hanna Theatre, Playhouse Square They were the last of the great Romantics: lyricist Alan Jay Lerner, a well-bred New Yorker with a Harvard education, and composer Frederick Loewe, 17 years older, classically trained and born in Berlin. Together they fashioned four of the most beloved musicals of all time: *My Fair Lady, Camelot, Brigadoon and Gigi*, writing for stars Rex Harrison, Julie Andrews, Richard Burton and Leslie Caron. You’ll hear your favorite songs from all four musicals, including “If Ever I Would Leave You,” “I’ve Grown Accustomed to Her Face,” “Gigi” and “Almost Like Being in Love”—and so much more. It’s a remarkable story of two men who saw the world the same way, writing straight from their hearts during what Lerner called the “sundown of wit, eccentricity and, if you will, elegance.” Co-hosted by *Bill Rudman* and *Nancy Maier* | Arrangements by *Ty Emerson* Featuring *Benjamin Czarnota* and *Clare Eisentrout* *TICKETS*$35-$60 Tickets available through the Playhouse Square Box Office. Call 216-241-6000 or visit PlayhouseSquare.org <http://www.playhousesquare.org/events/detail/almost-like-being-in-love-the-…>

The Kulas Foundation Theatre Composer Initiative is a six month fellowship program providing early-career composers with first-hand experience creating music and sound design for theatre. This initiative engages composer/designers in a collaborative process under the guidance of the show producer and director to compose and produce original music for full productions and works-in-development in CPT's Season and to learn about other parts of the creative and production process of theatre. Composers gain hands-on learning experiences through sound design opportunities. The program is intended to significantly grow CPT's capacity for developing original music and sound design, and to support the growth and emergence of local artists. In order to ensure the development of work past this residency, both the composer and Cleveland Public Theatre will own full rights to composed materials developed through the Theatre Composer Initiative. Program Expectations: The Composer and CPT will work together to develop an intense and fruitful fellowship.

Complete and Total Spreads Awareness of Heroin Issue in Communities
by Kelly Miloro via NEohioPAL 09 Nov '16

09 Nov '16

*Complete and Total Spreads Awareness of Heroin Issue in Communities* *Geauga Lyric Theater: November 12 at 7pm* *Kent State/Geauga Branch campus November 16 at 7:30pm* *FREE ADMISSION* If you pay attention to the news, multiple overdose deaths are reported every day. In Ohio, in even our small communities, people are dying at a rate that alarms and saddens law officers and medical personnel. A common link between the tight-knit villages and big cities is that this problem is always seen as being in someone else’s back yard. Chardon and surrounding areas are not immune. Art sometimes helps to bridge the gap that exists between knowing and understanding. Because of this, several area businesses and groups are sponsoring *Complete and Total*, an original play by local playwright Greg Vovos, at Geauga Lyric Theater. Directed by Angela Miloro-Hansen, it follows the story of a high school student with a bright future ahead of him, but heroin and addiction quickly become his top priority. The Mind, the only sober part left of his brain, believes in his ability to become clean, but it’s not that simple. Performed by a small student cast, this production is offered to schools and other groups, as well as a public performance at Geauga Lyric Theater on November 12 at 7:00pm. The performance will be followed by a talk-back/question and answer period by several local professionals. Kent’s Geauga campus will also host a performance on November 16 at 7:30pm. *Complete and Total* will be offered to the public free of admission charge, thanks to the sponsors Walmart Foundation, New Vision at University Hospitals Medical Center, and Chardon Community Action Team. To book *Complete and Total* for your school or youth organization, please contact educationoutreach(a)geaugatheater.org <educationoutreach(a)geaugattheater.org>. . Geauga Lyric Theater is located on the beautiful Chardon Square at 101 Water Street. For more information about productions and educations, see our website at www.geaugatheater.org. -- Kelly Miloro GLTG Administrative Asst. 440-285-7701 officemgr(a)geaugatheater.org
