Re: [NEohioPAL] AUDITIONS for "INCOGNEGRO"
by Audition Requests via NEohioPAL 07 Sep '16

Incognegro by Eric Schmiedl adapted from the graphic novel written by Mat Johnson with art by Warren Pleece DIRECTOR: Eric Schmiedl PRODUCER: Cleveland Treatment Center - Let It Ride Productions L.C. Collins, Executive Director Pierre Betts, Production Manager DATES: Audition Call - September 10, 2016 1st Rehearsal - October 3, 2016 1st Tech - October 28, 2016 Opening - November 4th Closing - TBA SYNOPSIS: It is the early 1930's. It is Harlem, New York. It is Tupelo, Mississippi. With his light complexion, reporter Zane Pinchback is able to "pass" for white, allowing him to bring back unique first-hand reports of lynchings as he secretly writes under the byline, "Incognegro". But, with the Harlem Renaissance exploding around him Zane wants to leave journalism behind and join the ranks of his recognized literary heroes. Until his editor gives him one more assignment, and this one he cannot refuse. It's personal. Mirroring the folktale nature of the graphic novel this adaptation embraces a narrative style with all the actors telling the remarkable story of Zane Pinchback and his brother Alonzo. The storytelling style also gives the piece a sense of history. Zane (Incognegro) is an American Superhero. His story has been and will continue to be passed down through the spoken word. Furthermore, the use of multiple storytellers reflects one of the graphic novel's central themes: identity. ROLES: ZANE PINCHBACK ("Incognegro") Male - 30's. Racially ambiguous. Zane is a superhero. Quick. Clever. Intuitive. Zene has a strong moral compass that drives his actions. Because of his physical appearance he has had to negotiate between communities and cultures all his life. Thus, he is a bit of a loner and an observer. But he is not afraid to take action when action is required. ALONZO PINCHBACK Male - 30's. African American. Passionate. Driven. Honest. Alonzo is Zane's twin brother. He appears darker in complexion than his brother and thus his experience is different. He is a man who has lived his entire life in the rural south and even with its contradictions and dangers feels most comfortable there. CARL JOHNSON Male - 30's. Racially ambiguous. Slick. Smart. Quick. Carl is Zane's buddy. He is a kid of the cosmopolitan north. A city kid. He has never been below the Mason Dixon Line and is extremely naïve about the level of violence and hatred that waits below the surface in these southern communities. MICHAELA MATHERS Female - 30's. Caucasian. Driven. Violent. Reckless. Michaela is Alonzo's business partner and lover. She will succeed at all cost regardless of who else needs to pay the price. WILLIAM HUEY Male - 30's - 50's. Caucasian. Ruthless. Bigoted. Self-confident. William is a senior leader of the Ku Klux Klan. He has discovered "Incognegro's" true identity and will not rest until he crushes his opponent. CHORUS Male and/or Female - Any Age. Any cultural background. Three performers will become several supporting roles in the production and provide the live music which will embrace American music of the period and region. The music will be sung and played live. * Auditions will be held Saturday, September 10 from 10:00 am to 1:00 pm. * Location: Ensemble Theatre 2843 Washington Boulevard Cleveland Hts. 44118 * All roles are paid positions. AEA and non-AEA performers are welcome. * Please email auditions(a)clevelandtreatmentcenter.org to request and confirm an audition time. Please include your First and Last name and phone number. We will confirm via email. * Please bring a CURRENT HEAD SHOT and RESUME with you to auditions. * Sides will be provided AT AUDITIONS and will be used for CALLBACKS (if necessary).

"Play it forward": Looking for instrument donations for school kids.
by Paula Kampf via NEohioPAL 07 Sep '16

07 Sep '16

My friend and collaborator Victoria McBride and I are collecting gently used instruments for the students of St Martin de Porres High School. St Martin’s is a pretty darned special school. It’s part of the Christo Rey network--schools that serve a very specific demographic in ways that seriously change lives. As Victoria <https://www.facebook.com/vsanyu> writes, “Saint Martin is a school that provides students of modest economic means with a college preparatory education aimed at helping young men and women develop the habits of mind and spirit that will enable them to be successful in college, in their careers, and in life. This year we are trying to breathe new life into our arts curriculum by adding an choir class! We have never had a school band but many students are interested in learning to play instruments so if we are able, we'd love to have our choir include a praise band.” SO: We are looking for instruments. What kinds of instruments would be GREAT? Conga drums, drum-circle style drums, hand drums, box drums, guitars (acoustic or with plug-in capabilities), flutes and other wind instruments, brass instruments like trumpets. What kind of instruments would NOT help? Ones that are broken/missing essential parts or instruments that are large and cumbersome (pianos, drum sets, cellos, etc.) ********How do I donate an instrument? Email Victoria McBride <https://www.facebook.com/vsanyu> vmcbride(a)stmdphs.org --she can make arrangements with you to get the instruments. ******** Can I just donate money instead? Sorry, no. We’re just collecting good, usable instruments. Is my donation tax deductible? Yes. Is this a formal outreach from the school, or just another one of those community-projects we put together because so many cool people are out there wanting to do something awesome? Oh, it’s one of those community-projects we put together because you’re all awesome and make things happen. Y’all rock. So spread the word. Find those old instruments that you’re not using. What's in the attic? Stashed backstage somewhere? In the storage space of your place of worship or the corner of a classroom? Reach out to Vicky and let’s get these awesome kids who cannot otherwise afford instruments the opportunity to make the halls come alive with the sound of music. (You knew I couldn’t finish this without *some* VonTrapp reference, right?) With sincerest gratitude, Paula Kampf
