Canal Fulton Players- Auditions for Taming of the Shrew June 21-22
by via NEohioPAL 31 May '16

31 May '16

Auditions for The Taming of the Shrew are on June 21-22 at 7:00 pm at Community Connections, 2381 South Locust Street (Rear), Canal Fulton, Ohio Two sisters, one a sweet innocent girl, while the other is an obnoxious, demanding, and unpleasing person. The problem is that the sweet, innocent girl is the youngest and the only way she can wed one of her many suitors is to get someone to marry her older obnoxious sister. That problem is compounded when no one, and I mean no one, wants the honor of taking the older sister’s hand in marriage. That is until one of the suitors remembers that there is an obnoxious and demanding man who lives in the hinterlands. The suitors summon this unlikely person to come to tow...n and woo the older sister, who is very determined to spurn his advances. Thus, in a nutshell, is the plot to The Taming of the Shrew, by William Shakespeare. The Canal Fulton Players will be holding auditions on June 21 and 22 at Community Connections, 2381 South Locust Street (Rear), Canal Fulton, Ohio for this absolutely raucous comedy which will be performed on August 20-21, 27-28 on the St. Helena III. The auditions are open and all persons wishing a part should be prepared to read from the script. The auditions will be from 7:00 to 8:30 pm at Canalways Center. The director is David Van Gaasbeek. For more information, please call Mr. Van Gaasbeek either at 330-494-1022 or 330-854-4387.

CALLING ACTORS - TOMORROW NIGHT - Manhattan Project Meet & Greet
by Manhattan Project via NEohioPAL 31 May '16

31 May '16

Between 1942 and 1945, J. Robert Oppenheimer gathered the most brilliant minds of the age at Los Alamos, New Mexico to create something awesome and terrible. The Manhattan Project - Cleveland Lab seeks to do the same for the Cleveland stage. Fresh New Faces in the Bunker Cleveland's showcase for never before seen plays has three new playwrights writing for us. We're thrilled to introduce Jaclyn Czifranics, Tim Collingwood, Monica Morgan, and Jacob Wiker. We're also happy to be joined by one of our favorite playwrights, Yulia Gray. We need brave actors to perform in these brave playwrights' awesome and terrible new plays! Join us at our Meet & Greet <http://facebook.us8.list-manage.com/track/click?u=24718b1d6d5f7c398165fdc7b…> at Mahall's <http://facebook.us8.list-manage.com/track/click?u=24718b1d6d5f7c398165fdc7b…> (13200 Madison Ave. <http://facebook.us8.list-manage.com/track/click?u=24718b1d6d5f7c398165fdc7b…>) on Wednesday, June 1 at 8:00pm. Performance <http://facebook.us8.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=24718b1d6d5f7c398165fdc7…> will be Wednesday, June 29! We hope to see you there. What exactly is The Manhattan Project - Cleveland Lab? The Manhattan Project is a low-stakes, nonthreatening place for actors and playwrights to meet and work together. Based on the Theatre Lab model taught at the Carnegie Mellon School of Drama and inspired by The Brooklyn Generator in New York, The Manhattan Project wants to introduce Cleveland actors and playwrights to each other by organizing a bi-monthly production of brand new 10-minute plays. Participating artists will meet early in the month and will be broken into teams, each with one playwright. The playwright will then be given a writing prompt to write a new 10-minute play based on the prompt and including all the team's actors. The rest of the evening the team members will get to know each other and get a feel for each other's skills and voices. The teams will reconvene later in the month to perform these plays for each other. These 10-minute plays are not an end in themselves. Through these small collaborations we hope to build relationships between the two most vulnerable artists in theatre; the actors who put themselves on stage and the playwrights who pour themselves onto the page. Perhaps these 10-minute plays will grow into longer works or maybe these collaborations will become partnerships on larger projects. If you'd like to participate, please RSVP at TrinityCrater(a)gmail.com or introduce yourself at out next event. *Some additional notes on the play lab:* - In the spirit of shoe-string theatre, these 10-minute plays should have a budget of $0.00. - Playwrights will be directing the plays, or an actor from the team can volunteer to do so. - It's up to each team to schedule rehearsals together. Based on experience, it shouldn't take more than 3-4 hours of rehearsal time to get these plays on their feet. - Playwrights are invited in advance of the Meet & Greet. - *Playwrights are invited based on participation in past Manhattan Project events, so please come to our events so we can get to know you!*

Review of "To the Orchard" at Playwrights Local 4181
by Bob Abelman via NEohioPAL 30 May '16

30 May '16

Engaging ‘To the Orchard’ pits tradition against desire Bob Abelman Cleveland Jewish News, The News Herald, The Morning Journal Member, International Association of Theatre Critics Local playwright Les Hunter’s latest contemporary drama is getting its world premiere as the first full-length production of the newly formed Playwrights Local 4181. It is taking place at Waterloo Arts in Collinwood and, later in the run, at Dobama Theatre in Cleveland Hts. “To the Orchard”– which is about making mistakes, repairing the damage, and reconciling religious traditions with personal desires – was a Top-Ten Finalist in the 2016 Jewish Play Project, received a National Foundation for Jewish Culture New Play Development Grant, as well as a production grant from the Arch and Bruce Brown Foundation. The play takes place during the thirty days of shloshim – the Jewish ritual of mourning – which happens to coincide with Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, and tracks Brooklyn College student Rachel Bergman’s (Kelsey Angel Baehrens) coming to terms with her homosexuality.
