Seeking Teenage Boy for Play
by Carson Coombs via NEohioPAL 17 Jul '16

17 Jul '16

Hello, I’m looking to cast a teenage boy. The play is a pioneer drama show called, Monster in the Closet. We have been rehearsing for quite some time without a TOM and he’s one of the big parts. If you are talented, can memorize lines in nearly 30 days, and have a great personality, please email monsterinthecloset1(a)yahoo.com The play will take place at Theatre 8:15 (4740, Massillon Rd, Green, OH 44232) on August 12 at 8:15 PM and August 14 at 2:15PM Monster in the Closet Emily has a big problem. Not only is she sent to bed just as she reaches the highest level of her new video game, but there’s a monster in her closet! It’s not just her imagination. Her friend Stephanie saw it, too. Suffering the teasing of her brother and his friends, Emily and Stephanie recruit some of their own friends to help capture the monster. What they don’t know is that Murray, the closet monster, doesn’t mean any harm — he only wants to play Emily’s new video game. He’s too scared of kids to even think about trying to frighten them. Murray’s boss, the Dream King, has heard about his goofing off on the job, and now Murray is on probation. Murray’s supervisor, fellow monster Wanda, is not happy with him either. After all, every monster knows that when a child is born, a monster is assigned to watch over her — not to play with her toys and especially not to get caught in the act! What will happen when Emily has all her friends over for a sleepover to try to capture Murray? Even with Emily’s friend Brain’s careful analysis and planning, the girls wind up trapping the Dream King and his secretary, Toady, instead of Murray. With other wonderfully entertaining characters like Sandy the Sandman and his dream weavers, the solution to Emily’s monster problem brings humor, a bit of ingenuity and a little magic to this charming and delightful family show. we will be rehearsing at a location down the street of the theatre because the theatre is booked this month, the NEW location is about 5 minutes away from the theatre and isn’t much a bother. Thanks! Carson P.S. rehearsals are monday-thursday’s 6:30-8:30

Review of "Ring of FIre" at Porthouse Theatre
by Bob Abelman via NEohioPAL 16 Jul '16

16 Jul '16

Porthouse’s ‘Ring of Fire’ is greater than the sum of its parts Bob Abelman Cleveland Jewish News, The News Herald, The Morning Journal Member, International Association of Theatre Critics “Ring of Fire,” now on stage at Porthouse Theatre, is a most amorphic musical. Created by Richard Malby Jr. and Jason Edwards, the original 2006 Broadway production took 38 of the country, gospel and rockabilly songs made famous by the legendary Johnny Cash and used them to narrate isolated events in the lives of archetypal Americans, who were played by six performers. The show was similar to the 1978 production of “Working” by Stephen Schwartz and Nina Faso, which chronicled through music and connective narration the work ordinary people do. And like “Working,” the show received abysmal reviews, generated little interest, and left Time Square with little fanfare. In 2013, “Ring of Fire” was pared down and reconceived as a biographical jukebox musical by Malby and William Meade, which opened at the Milwaukee Repertory Theater. The show was still steeped in Johnny Cash’s songs but they were now wrapped around a smattering of Cash’s own back-story and performed by a handful of actor-musicians. But it is a thin, unsatisfying biographical jukebox musical. Others, like “Jersey Boys” and “Beautiful” – which tell the respective stories of the Four Seasons and Carol King – do so through a detailed running narrative, a chronological sequencing of songs that capture their evolution as singer/songwriters, and actors portraying the real-life artists. “Ring of Fire” redux had none of this. As such, regional and community theaters willing to take on this work often attempt to make it more biographical. They swap songs to better follow Cash’s own story, feature a performer who closely resembles Cash, and display on stage photographs, artifacts and costuming that reflect Cash’s life. These productions of “Ring of Fire” become more tribute concert than jukebox musical. Under Steven C. Anderson’s direction, Porthouse Theater’s “Ring of Fire” goes in a different direction. It takes on the stylings of a musical revue and does so marvelously, facilitated by a six-week opening run in Columbus as a co-production with CATCO Theatre.
