Coach House Theatre announces the 2016-17 Subscription Season
by Nancy Cates via NEohioPAL 15 Apr '16

15 Apr '16

Coach House Theatre 2016-2017 Season Subscription Series A Thousand Clowns, by Herb Gardner September 22 - October 16 In this classic American comedy, free-spirit Murray is an unconventional, unemployed television comedy writer, who is raising his precocious nephew, Nick. When social workers come to interfere with their situation, Murray unwittingly stumbles upon love, purpose, and a new course in life. Six Dance Lessons in Six Weeks, by Richard Alfieri November 17 - December 11 (no performance on Thanksgiving) A comedy with music and dance, Six Dance Lessons in Six Weeks is about a formidable retired woman who hires an acerbic dance instructor to give her private dance lessons. What begins as an antagonistic relationship blossoms into an intimate friendship between two people from very different backgrounds. The Mousetrap, by Agatha Christie January 26 - February 19 In this longest running play in history (63 continuous years so far), a group of strangers is stranded in a boarding house during a snow storm. Of course, one is a murderer, and in typical Agatha Christie fashion, everyone is a suspect. Of Mice and Men, by John Steinbeck March 16 - April 9 This outstanding classic drama is a tremendously moving character study of two roving farmhands, one of whom "with the strength of a gorilla and the mind of an untutored child" unwittingly commits a murder, while his friend tried desperately to prevent his falling into the hands of the law. Baskerville: A Sherlock Holmes Mystery, by Ken Ludwig* Something's Afoot, or Holmes for the Holidays, by Ken Ludwig* Moon Over Buffalo, by Ken Ludwig May 11 - June 4 Coach House's final show will be a selection by farce-master Ken Ludwig, but, since the performance rights are still pending, we don't know which one yet! You can't go wrong, though, with either of two send-ups of the great detective Sherlock Holmes, or an eccentric theatrical family touring the not-so-big-time with their productions of Private Lives and Cyrano de Bergerac. *pending performance rights Season Subscriptions go on sale May 12, single ticket sales begin August 1.

You still have time for Modeling Camp!!
by Barb via NEohioPAL 15 Apr '16

15 Apr '16

Dream Team Models and Award Winning Master Fashion and Beauty Photographer Barb Stitzer present our second year of Modeling Camp in Ohio!!! You're only as beautiful as you feel, and Learning how to look great without making others around you feel bad about themselves or jealous helps one's self esteem, poise, and general feeling of well being. Young women who have attended the Dream Team Mode'ls camp feel more confident, dole out and accept less bullying, and learn to feel great about themselves in a nurturing, caring environment of like minded individuals. They also have some very beautiful pictures taken of them, whether they think they are photogenic or not. My modeling camp graduates have appeared in magazine layouts that I have shot for Nicky Nicole, the Grey Colt, American Commodore, Olympia Sports, Studio Wish, Shop Local Ohio, and many more, and in many local, regional and National campaigns through their agencies. While it's not the goal of the camp, Last year, we helped 14 girls get placed with local and national modeling agencies as well. So come for the fun, the camaraderie, the 3-5 opportunities in front of the camera each day, learn how to look great in selfies, and maybe a little more. Moms are more than welcome to stay and watch the entire camp if you would like. :) Each day, we have an age appropriate topic to discuss, about modeling, and about life, and then we dive in to different aspects of modeling for the camera. As a former model for 10 years in California, New York and Milan, it is very important to me that these young ladies know the rights and wrongs about how they should be treated in every situation. Dates: Tuesday, May 31st- Friday June 3rdModeling 101 11-1 ages 7-10 and 1-3 ages 11 and up Tuesday June 7- Friday June 10 Modeling 101 11-1 ages 7-10 and 1-3 ages 11 and up Monday June 13th- Friday June 17thModeling 202 11-2 ages 11 and up Monday June 20th- Friday Juns 24th Modeling 202 ages 7-10 For more information, Please take a look at my website, http://www.barbstitzer.com, follow Barbara Stitzer Photography on facebook, and @barbstitzer and @dreamteammodels on instagram, and feel free to call me at 330.714.6261 or email me at barb(a)barbstitzer.com -- All my best, Barb Barbara Stitzer 330.714.6261 Www.barbstitzer.com Stalk me!
