Are you an artist/organization/venue in Summit County? We want to help you promote yourself (FOR FREE!)
by Benjamin Rexroad via NEohioPAL 11 Mar '16

11 Mar '16

Fellow Artists: SummitLive365 <http://www.summitlive365.com/> is a FREE resource for artists, arts/culture organizations and venues throughout Summit County. Essentially, it is: THE place where YOU want to be... Yes, the site is an events calendar <http://www.summitlive365.com/event/?keyword&start_date&end_date&term&event_…>, but it is much more than that. You can create a profile <http://www.summitlive365.com/artist/sarah-treanor/> to feature your artistic work, post classifieds <http://www.summitlive365.com/classified/> and even find jobs! <http://www.summitlive365.com/classified/job-posting-activities-coordinator-…> We are also a community. Our purpose is to help you become as successful as possible while achieving your artistic goals and dreams. And, once you join, we will leverage all of our resources – from social media to our mailing list (which is close to 1000 subscribers strong) – to make that possible. For example, in the last month, we helped Summit Artspace <http://www.summitlive365.com/organization/summit-artspace/> double enrollment in a workshop (in just 2 days!), found a Kevin Smalley <http://www.summitlive365.com/artist/kevin-smalley/> an illustration gig and helped Mustard Seed Market <http://www.summitlive365.com/venue/mustard-seed-market-cafe-highland-square/> find 3 artists for a gallery show (Bronlynn <http://www.summitlive365.com/artist/bronlynn-thurman/> and Emily <http://www.summitlive365.com/artist/emily-s-durway/> sold pieces within a week of the show going up!) If that's not enough, we offer "hands on" technical support. I am always available to have a meeting to teach you how to navigate the site, answer questions or offer advice. Again – it's totally, completely and absolutely FREE. Do you know why? The arts are IMPORTANT! Which, of course, I don't have to tell you. But I just wanted to throw this fact out there: In 2014, arts and culture <https://www.arts.gov/news/2016/arts-and-cultural-production-contributed-704…> added $704.2 BILLION to the economy. Yes. That's BILLION with a B. And our mothers told us to "get a real job." Summit County is literally bursting with things to do every day of the week (figuratively, of course.) As one recent guest shared: "I've lived in Akron for five months in the valley. I kept seeing a sign for Weathervane Playhouse <http://www.summitlive365.com/organization/weathervane-playhouse/> and never did any research to determine what it was all about. Then I went to SummitLive365.com <http://www.summitlive365.com/> and I see that Dracula is playing with links to their ticket page. Now I have two tickets for tomorrow night! How awesome is that?" Don't Miss Out - Join the Fun! Create a FREE profile. F <http://www.summitlive365.com/login/>ollow this link <http://www.summitlive365.com/login/> to register for an account which will allow you to set-up a profile as an artist, organization, venue or arts supporter! If you do not live or work in Summit County, you can: 1.) Check SummitLive365.com <http://www.summitlive365.com/> to discover new and exciting events to attend! 2.)

Canal Fulton Players- Last Weekend of Father of the Bride
by David Van Gaasbeek via NEohioPAL 11 Mar '16

11 Mar '16

FATHER OF THE BRIDE CONTINUES ON MARCH 11, 2016 It starts as a small event- a minister, the groom, the bride, and two witnesses. But the bride’s mother wants to have her daughter wear a wedding gown and have at least two attendants stand with her. Nothing big, nothing fancy and the father of the bride sighs in relief. That is until the families decide that a long lost aunt and a distant cousin need to be invited even though the bride and the groom have never met the relatives. And if they are invited, all the other relatives must be invited. Then, the fathers decide that there has to be an invitation to all of the important clients of their businesses. The problem is all the clients are important. Mothers get into action by inviting the entire garden clubs of their communities. Problem is that everyone has a green thumb and must be invited. Siblings of the bride and groom feel that they have to have a few friends to be with them. The number is inconsequential until you find that a teen party has been invited. Then, to the horror of the father of the bride, the groom and the bride decide that they have to invite certain friends from high school and college. Problem is the groom and the bride were voted as “Most Popular.” Then, the mother of the bride feels overwhelmed so she has to get the wedding planner who has several employees who look like they are off the road gangs. As things progress, the wedding is on and then wedding is off. The maid is upset. The father’s secretary is upset. The youngest child decides that she has a career in sports casting and uses the wedding as the first wedding to appear coast to coast on national television with color commentary. And it only costs…. “well, it’s that amount if you buy American champagne. It’s higher if you buy the French,” says the wedding planner. “And it all comes together like “magic.” The Caroline Francke comedy, Father of the Bride, will be presented by the Canal Fulton Players on 11-13, 2016 at the SALT Box Ministries, 408 West Market Street, Canal Fulton, Ohio. The Dramatist Play Service production has been made into two movies. The first one, starring Spencer Tracy, Joan Bennett, Elizabeth Taylor, Leo G. Carroll, and Billie Burke was a huge critical success. The second one, starring Steve Martin, Diane Keaton, Martin Short, and Kimberly Williams, was a huge financial success as many people loved Short’s portrayal of Franck. (Note- The name is a shortened version of the playwright’s last name). Starring as Stanley Banks is Charles Haywood, who was last seen as the King of Hearts in Alice in Wonderland. Shelly Rayborn is Ellie Banks. Shelly has been in the Players’ last five productions. Hunter Rapp portrays Kay Banks, the bride in this play. She was last seen as Alice in Alice in Wonderland. The rest of the cast consists of Josh Rowe, Jake Sustersic, Madison Witte, Laura Haines, Maya McCoy, Jennifer Neal, Geri Marken in two roles, Drew Hutchinson, Mike Pfiffner, Sean Wirfel, and Matt Farkas as Mr. Massoula, the wedding planner. The performances for Friday and Saturday will be at 7:30 pm. Sunday performance will be at 3:00 pm. On March 12, there will be a dinner theatre which will start at 6:00 pm. The menu is lasagna, Italian bread, salad with your choice of dressing, dessert, and a beverage. The cost of admission for all non-dinner theatre performances is $10.00 for adults and $8.00 for seniors and children under the age of 12. The cost of admission for the dinner theatre is $18.00 for adults and $16.00 for seniors and children under the age of 12. For information or reservations, call David Van Gaasbeek at 330-494-1022 and 330-854-4387.
