Looking for People to Play Presidents
by Scott Carpenter via NEohioPAL 27 May '16

27 May '16

Looking for Presidents Casting call for actors who can or do role-play an American President. What: Details to follow, but this is a street acting performance gig where improvisation and audience interaction will make the show. We’re looking for people who have or would like to play one of America’s past Presidents. We need actors to play Abe Lincoln, and we’re especially interested in people who would play one of Ohio’s Presidents: Harrison, Grant, Garfield, Hayes, McKinnley, Harding, or Taft—but the more actors and presidents we have, the better. So step up Bill (Clinton), and where are you Dick (Nixon), we need you? There won’t be any scripts, just background information to become familiar with—we want our actors to have fun and contribute to the making of each performance, to show off their creativity and improvisational skills. Each event will be covered by the media and everyone involved will be credited. When: July 8 - July 17, We’re planning approximately 10 performances, one every day for one hour each, with a few during lunch hour but most after 5:00 PM. More actors will mean fewer performances for each. Where: Appearing at arts and cultural venues across the City of Cleveland. Contact: Scott Carpenter (216) 262-1723, carpenterdesign(a)mac.com <mailto:carpenterdesign@mac.com> If you’re interested, call immediately! CASTING DEADLINE: Sunday, June 5

Review of "The Wild Party" at Blank Canvas Theatre
by Bob Abelman via NEohioPAL 27 May '16

27 May '16

Voices soar but staging stalls in Blank Canvas’ ‘The Wild Party’ Bob Abelman Cleveland Jewish News, The News Herald, The Morning Journal Member, International Association of Theatre Critics “Some love is fire: some love is rust/But the fiercest, cleanest love is lust.” So begins Joseph Moncure March’s seedy, Jazz Age narrative poem “The Wild Party,” on which Andrew Lippa’s lyrical musical of the same name is based. Both lure you into a prohibition-era world that reeks of cheap perfume, gin-saturated sweat, and raging pheromones. The dark and ominous musical, whose 2000 Off-Broadway run garnered Drama Desk, Outer Critics Circle, and Obie awards, does so with a brilliant and boozy score. It is currently on display at Blank Canvas Theatre. Like the characters themselves, the music is diverse and often dissonant (think Fosse meets Brecht), offers complex and dramatic key-changes, and has moments that approach atonality which foreshadow the strong likelihood that things will not end well for anyone. It is the performance of this music that is Blank Canvas’ strength and salvation, for the show’s staging does much to undermine this production.
