by Bryan Ritchey via NEohioPAL 27 Jun '16

27 Jun '16

This Saturday July 2nd, The Cleveland Shakespeare Festival will be hosting the next gathering of it's revitalized series---OPEN MIC SHAKESPEARE, from 2:00-4:30pm at the Cleveland Heights-University Heights Lee rd. Public Library! We will be reading Part 1 of the "The Tragedy of Cymbeline." Last month, we followed the Bard to a mysterious island in the Mediterranean! This month, we land in the United Kingdom---BEFORE it was united. In "Cymbeline", Shakespeare weaves a tale of two lands, Rome and Britain, who's respective people are questioning the relative meaning of "love and honor". Due to the play's length, we'll be reading the first half of it this month and the second half of it next month. Open Mic Shakespeare is an ongoing play-reading series brought to you by The Cleveland Shakespeare Festival. One day each month, we invite anyone and everyone to stop in and read a Shakespeare play with us, at a cool spot in the Greater Cleveland area. This month, we'll be meeting twice, Saturday July 2nd and Saturday July 30th, 2-4:30pm, at the Cleveland Heights-University Heights Lee Rd. Public Library, Meeting Room B. Like our classic summer performance season, entry to Open Mic Shakespeare is absolutely free, now and forever.Speaking of which, once you're done reading Part 1 of Cymbeline this Saturday, go out and catch our wonderful production of Richard II happening at the historic Garfield Monument in Mentor! Show starts at 7pm! Thank you Bryan RitcheyCo-Director, Bard Corps, Cleveland Shakespeare Festival

The Manhattan Project Summertime High
by Arwen Mitchell via NEohioPAL 27 Jun '16

27 Jun '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. It's Summertime and the Manhattan Project Summer Plays are Ready! The Cavs are victorious. So are the MP playwrights! With summer activities and festivities galore (including, but not limited to, summer camp, a road trip in a Smart Car, and summer school with the worst subsititue EVER...), this is the MUST-SEE summer event of the summer season. #summer #didIsaysummer The Manhattan Project <https://www.facebook.com/TheManhattanProjectClevelandLab?fref=ts> wants to help by presenting four brand new plays by Cleveland playwrights, including Tim Collinwood, Monica Morgan, Jacob Wiker, and Yulia Gray! Please join us Wednesday, June 29th, 8PM <https://www.facebook.com/events/1157596770924227/>at Mahall's 20 Lanes <http://mahalls20lanes.com/> 13200 Madison Ave. Lakewood OH 44107 for plays that are sure to make you feel SUMMERY if you don't feel that way already! 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 just show up at the next Meet & Greet in July. *For more info and updates:* like us on facebook <https://www.facebook.com/TheManhattanProjectClevelandLab>, Subscribe to Our Newsletter <http://eepurl.com/RGboj> and follow us on twitter @MPCleveLab . Some additional notes on the project: - 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!*
