The Manhattan Project Makes America Great Again!
by Manhattan Project via NEohioPAL 23 Aug '16

23 Aug '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. Better and Better! Like a fine Ohio Riesling or a salmon salad sandwich, The Manhattan Project just gets better and better with age! We're thrilled for you to taste what we've set out for you in the hot August sun! Manhattan Project <http://facebook.us8.list-manage.com/track/click?u=24718b1d6d5f7c398165fdc7b…> is pleased to present four brand new plays! - *Herbert Hoover for President: 1997* by Jordan Bray - *Doctor What and the Awesome Hullabaloo Through American History by Katie Walker* - *Mountain Party* by Nate Taylor - *Lizzie Bordon, Unrecoverable* by Dan Riordan Performance <http://facebook.us8.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=24718b1d6d5f7c398165fdc7…> will be at Mahall's 20 Lanes <http://facebook.us8.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=24718b1d6d5f7c398165fdc7…> in Lakewood <http://facebook.us8.list-manage.com/track/click?u=24718b1d6d5f7c398165fdc7b…> on Wednesday, August 31 at 8:00pm. We can't wait for you to join us! 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.

by John Ewing via NEohioPAL 23 Aug '16

23 Aug '16

Veteran actor and dancer Russ Tamblyn is coming to Cleveland for three separate film screenings on Sept. 16, 17 & 18. The Friday and Saturday showings will be at the Cleveland Institute of Art Cinematheque, 11610 Euclid Avenue; the Sunday afternoon showing will be at the Cleveland Museum of Art, 11150 East Boulevard. Here are the details: Friday, September 16, at 9:20 pm at the Cinematheque HUMAN HIGHWAY (DIRECTOR'S CUT) USA, 1982, Bernard Shakey (Neil Young), Dean Stockwell Oscar-nominated actor Russ Tamblyn (Riff in WEST SIDE STORY, Dr. Lawrence Jacoby in TWIN PEAKS, Son of a Gunfighter in DJANGO UNCHAINED) will answer questions after a screening of a forgotten 1982 comedy that he acts in and co-wrote. Because it was hardly released, it never became the cult film it deserved to be. (However, it might have inspired THE SIMPSONS.) Set at a gas station and diner next door to a nuclear power plant on the last day on earth, this anarchic satire stars co-director Neil Young as both Lionel, a nerdy, dim-witted auto mechanic, and Frankie Fontaine, his rock star alter ego. Dennis Hopper, Dean Stockwell, Sally Kirkland, Mark Mothersbaugh, and Devo (playing workers at the nuke plant) co-star. Devo/Young performances include "Worried Man Blues" and "Hey Hey, My My (Into the Black)." New digital restoration! Cleveland revival premiere. DCP. 80 min.

"tom thumb" is a musical fantasy, based on a Grimm fairy tale, about a miniature boy (Tamblyn) who is adopted by a woodcutter and his wife and soon exploited by two thieves (Peter Sellers and Terry-Thomas). Legendary fantasist George Pal ("Puppetoons," THE TIME MACHINE) directed the movie, which won an Oscar for special effects and boasts songs by Peggy Lee and plenty of comedy and dancing. 92 min.
