[image: leading ladies header] In this comedy by Ken Ludwig, the author of *Lend Me A Tenor* and *Moon Over Buffalo*, two English Shakespearean actors, Jack and Leo, find themselves so down on their luck that they are performing "Scenes from Shakespeare" on the Moose Lodge circuit in the Amish country of Pennsylvania. When they hear that an old lady in York, PA, is about to die and leave her fortune to her two long lost English nephews, they resolve to pass themselves off as her beloved relatives and get the cash. The trouble is they find out that the relatives aren't nephews, but nieces! They don't let a little thing like that stop them, though. Romantic entanglements abound. *Directed by Mark Cipra* *Sponsored by Gem Electric* *Sunday, December 11 from 1-3PMMonday, December 12 from 7-9PM* *Call backs (by invitation only): Wednesday, * *December 14 from 7-9PM* *Auditions will be held at the Geauga Lyric Arts Center * *106 Water St Chardon, Oh (Across the street from theater)* *Auditions Information:* All roles are open. All ethnicities considered, and the stated age ranges can be somewhat flexible. Auditioners should be prepared to read from the script. *Performances:* Fridays and Saturdays at 8pm, Sundays at 2pm, March 10-26 *Casting Information:* - MEG SNIDER: Local girl, vivacious, warm, great sense of humor. Has unfulfilled dreams of the great big world outside of central Pennsylvania. (Age: 25-35) DUNCAN WOOLEY: Local minister, engaged to Meg. A good man, but fussy, headstrong, egocentric. (Age: 40-45) DOC MYERS: Local doctor, Chief Moose, likeable curmudgeon, boisterous, stocky, father to Butch. (Age: 50's) LEO and JACK: Since they cross-dress as women, they must be clean-shaven in time for opening night :). Both must have great English accents. LEO CLARK: A Shakespearean actor, marginally gifted, charming yet mildly pompous, prone to temper tantrums, longs to achieve stardom. (Age: 35-45) JACK GABLE: A Shakespearean actor, easily dragged into Leo's harebrained schemes, nice guy, longs to settle down. (Age: 35-45) AUDREY: Extremely sweet and good-natured, an "intelligent airhead." Audrey roller-skates. The director would most likely be really impressed if auditioners showed up with their own roller skates prepared to dazzle. (Age: Early 20's) BUTCH MYERS: A little slow on the uptake, built like he played high school football, sincere, good-hearted. (Age: Early 20's) FLORENCE SNIDER: Meg's aunt, an extremely crusty lady, terrible eyesight, wealthy, wily, ailing... or hypochondriac? (Age: 60+) - [image: Image result for winter solstice] *WINTER CLASS REGISTRATION OPEN!* *GO HERE <http://click.icptrack.com/icp/relay.php?r=47078066&msgid=776001&act=H3GS&c=…>* *HAVE A GREAT WEEK!* [image: Twitter] <http://click.icptrack.com/icp/relay.php?r=47078066&msgid=776001&act=H3GS&c=…>[image: Facebook] <http://click.icptrack.com/icp/relay.php?r=47078066&msgid=776001&act=H3GS&c=…> This message was sent to operations(a)geaugatheater.org from: Geauga Lyric Theater Guild | officemgr(a)geaugatheater.org | Geauga Lyric Theater Guild | 106 Water St | Chardon, Oh 44024 Email Marketing by [image: iContact - Try It Free!] <http://www.icontact.com/a.pl/144186> Manage Your Subscription <http://app.icontact.com/icp/mmail-mprofile.pl?r=47078066&l=4980&s=H3GS&m=77…>

Latin Guitar Composition in memory of my Dog available for Purchase on Bandcamp
by Noel Schwenk via NEohioPAL 08 Dec '16

08 Dec '16

Hello , I'm Latin Guitarist Noel Schwenk; my composition "Pups" a la Paco de Lucia is now available for purchase for $1 on Bandcamp. http://latinguitaristnoelschwenk.bandcamp.com/…/pups-a-la-p… I wrote it after we had to say goodbye to our 11-year-old dog Bella this June 15th, 2016. It starts out with creeping painful, guitar harmonic chords to signify the upcoming major health issues, and proceeds through to a major key modulation at the end where We hope the flower on her grave blossoms into a beautiful rose plant. Bella already had a toad-friend living in her dirt area, last time I looked."Pups" a la Paco de Lucia, by Latin Guitarist Noel SchwenkLATINGUITARISTNOELSCHWENK.BANDCAMP.COMLeaving Facebook... | | | Leaving Facebook... | | |
