We're a great place to express yourself and make friends. Come try us! Bring a friend! ABOUT THE SHOW ON THE EVE OF THE 2016 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION, NEAR WEST'S SUMMER YOUTH THEATER PRESENTS STEPHEN SONDHEIM'S EXAMINATION OF THE AMERICAN DREAM, THE HAVES AND THE HAVE-NOTS, AND GUNS. "We're the other national anthem, folks, the ones that can't get in to the ball park. There's Another National Anthem, folks, for those who never win... for the ones who might have been."- from "Another National Anthem" A multiple Tony Award-winning theatrical tour-de-force, Assassins combines Sondheim's signature blend of intelligently stunning lyrics and beautiful music, with a panoramic story of our nation's culture of celebrity and the violent means some will use to obtain it, embodied by America's four successful and five would-be presidential assassins. Bold, original, disturbing, and alarmingly funny, Assassins is perhaps the most unexpected musical ever written. CHARACTER DESCRIPTIONS The Balladeer - Tenor C3-G4; ability to play guitar is a plus. The Balladeer is the conscience of America and the champion of the American Dream. He acts as a foil against the assassins and their warped perspectives and actions. The Proprietor - Tenor Gb2-F4; The Proprietor is the Grim Reaper, handing out weapons and overseeing the demise of presidents and assassins alike. His power is in his omnipresence and indifference; his characterization requires both dramatic irony and restrained wit. John Wilkes Booth - Baritone F2-G4; tall and distinguished; character will need a genteel Southern accent. A political zealot, "Wilkes" is the pioneer of American assassination and acts as leader and twisted mentor to the other assassins. "The Ballad of Booth" and his seduction of Lee Harvey Oswald are two of his pivotal scenes. Leon Czolgosz (pronounced "CHOL-gash") - Bass Baritone G#2-G4; slight of build. Czolgosz was an anarchist who, in killing William McKinley, decided to take matters of government into his own hands for the sake of the common man. Important scenes include "The Gun Song" and the meeting with Emma Goldman. Guiseppe Zangara - Tenor B2-A4; a short actor is preferred but not required; MUST use a heavy Italian accent for this character. Zangara blamed capitalists and "kings" for his medical conditions and attempted an assassination of Franklin D. Roosevelt-instead killing Mayor Cermak of Chicago. Zangara has a solo on the electric chair in "How I Saved Roosevelt." Sara Jane Moore - Soprano F3-Eb5. Actress is middle-aged and frumpy. Moore, a former FBI informant five times married, nearly assassinated Gerald Ford in 1975 - the second such attempt on his life in three weeks. Moore provides much of the comic relief in the show and requires an actress with good comic timing. Lynette "Squeaky" Fromme - Mezzo A3-G5; slender and pretty. Fromme, a flower child and member of Charlie Manson's cult "family," attempted an assassination of Gerald Ford in 1975. She is the lunatic foil to Sara Jane Moore's airheadedness in several scenes and sings a duet with John Hinckley. John Hinckley - Baritone A2-G4; blond and husky; ability to play guitar is a plus. Hinckley used a sociopathic obsession with Jodie Foster as his excuse to attempt an assassination of Ronald Reagan in 1981. Hinckley's clinical insanity and love-sickness add dramatic weight to this character. His pivotal scene is a duet with Squeaky Fromme. Charles J. Guiteau - Tenor A2-Ab4; average in stature; a beard would be helpful but not required. Guiteau was a multi-careered charlatan with delusions of grandeur who assassinated James Garfield in 1882. This intense libertine requires a multi-personality characterization and a flair for the dramatic. His key scene involves a cakewalk to the gallows. Samuel Byck - Heavy set; blue-collar Philly accent required. Byck was disgruntled at government and all it stood for when he attempted to hijack a plane with the intent of crashing it into the Nixon White House. A small vocal role, it requires an actor capable of presenting two dramatic, page-anda-half monologues. For Byck, please choose from the excerpt that fits your vocal range (tenor, baritone, or bass-baritone). Lee Harvey Oswald -Actor is slight to average build; rural Louisiana twang required. Oswald sings in the closing number and requires the dramatic capacity to spar with John Wilkes Booth in the pivotal Book Depository scene. Emma Goldman-Turn-of-the-century anarchist agitator and feminist. Townspeople - Required to play a variety of parts. The "townspeople" require strong individual voices as they sing "How I Saved Roosevelt" and the gut-wrenching "Something Just Broke." Other - A Bartender, President James Garfield, President Gerald Ford, Various reporters, photographers, tourists, bystanders, etc.

Gilda Shedstecker Presents! The Other Place
by Doug Tennant via NEohioPAL 30 Apr '16

30 Apr '16

*Gilda Shedstecker Presents! The Other Place* The Other Place by Sharr White premiered off-Broadway in 2011 and then returned in a hit run in 2013 to the Great White Way. A psychological thriller, this show deals with the contemporary horrors of losing a child, losing a marriage, or perhaps losing a mind. Juliana and Ian’s only daughter ran away from home when she was 15, and it’s miraculous when she contacts Juliana as an adult herself to reconcile, now with children and a husband of her own. Juliana is happy to have Laurel’s family move into the family’s other place, a Cape Cod beach house. But something isn’t right with the arrangement and Laurel’s return, a harbinger of doubt and fear in Juliana’s world. The truth is chilling and gladness begins to crumble. Starring as Juliana is Bridget Bazzinotti, with Patrice Rittenhouse, Grady Provance, Gretchen Scott, and Doug Tennant. Tawny Plumley Burkhardt is stage manager for director Jacki Dietz. Performances are *May 13, 14, 20, and 21* at 8:00 pm at *The Kathleen Howland Theatre* at 324 Cleveland Ave NW, Canton, Ohio.

The reel is specifically for Playboy TV and has been requested by the network. Jess was formerly of Playboy Radio so her audience is already built in and a following is established. The show is sketch comedy, improv driven, minimal scripting. An even more R rated version of Amy Schumer as written and directed by J. If you aren't comfortable with nudity as an actor it's not a big deal. For dudes this is a no brainer as PB doesn't want to see male genitalia or even female genitalia other than boobs since going non-nude at the magazine level recently. The call will consist of first come, first serve interviews with J as observed by a two camera set up. We will collect footage and if you appear in our final cut that goes to network we will provide you with a link to the reel in exchange for participation.

Reviews are in. THE PEOPLE VS FRIAR LAURENCE at Hudson Players is NOT to be missed. Absolute hilarity!!
by Dana Herro via NEohioPAL 30 Apr '16

30 Apr '16

We are shouting it from the rooftops! Well actually others are. Here are few comments audience members made online or in person after seeing the Hudson Players current production of the Ohio Premier of the hysterically funny musical "The People vs. Friar Laurence: The Man Who Killed Romeo and Juliet." : - Truly a must see show. You will laugh until you cry! - Hilariously funny, great cast and a great director. - GO SEE THIS SHOW! - I had tears in my eyes from laughing so much. - It's frickin hysterical! - If you have plans tomorrow night..other than seeing this show...you need to change them to "going to see this show!" Please get your tickets now at www.hudsonplayers.com and don't miss this fun, new production or you will be sorry you did! > William Shakespeare passed away 400 years ago this month and every 100 years or so it’s time for him to roll over. Enter the Hudson Players current production of People vs Friar Laurence – The Man Who Killed Romeo and Juliet. An Ohio premier, this hilarious musical comedy, by Ron West and Phil Swann, is told in a style that combines The Second City, Monty Python and Shakespeare all in one great show! With a small core of actors playing a wide variety of roles, the show has quick changes and an even faster pace, resulting in rapid fire humor. After all, what better way to celebrate Shakespeare’s death than with a show that would have killed him with laughter? > > The show begins with Friar Laurence from Romeo and Juliet fame, behind bars and charged with the murder of the two young lovers. The twisted trial progresses into a Vaudeville-like mayhem in the race to determine the plot behind the ultimate blame for Romeo and Juliet’s demise at the feet of Friar Laurence. The fast-moving freight train of characters and non-stop Shakespearean spoof of adventure takes the audience on a musical journey of love, confusion and chaos. The show, a smash hit for Chicago Shakespeare Theater, is the funniest mash up of Shakespeare, sketch comedy, and American theater you’ve ever seen (with a lot of fun music thrown in to boot). > > The show runs April 29, 30, May 6, 7, 13, 14, 15, 20 & 21. Tickets can be purchase via the Hudson Players website at www.HudsonPlayers.com or via phone at 330-655-8522. Don’t miss this great opportunity to see a fun, new, different, musical comedy and Ohio premier. > > “The People vs. Friar Laurence does to Romeo and Juliet what Mel Brooks did to Robin Hood and westerns, though it may be even wittier.” –Lansing City Pulse
