Behind The Scenes of "Reclamation"
by Tom Loveman via NEohioPAL 13 Jan '17

13 Jan '17

Hi CLE Artists! It’s Tom Loveman, again writing you from my exile in LA, going on my 5th year. Happy to report my short horror film “Synesthesia” has been doing well in the festival circuit - 17 festivals so far with a win and several nominations. Learn more and watch the trailer at http://www.synesthesiafilm.com/ <http://www.synesthesiafilm.com/>. The main reason I’m writing is to share my latest, nearly complete project - Reclamation Reclamation is an epic, sci-fi adventure about reclaiming what was lost – lost as a person, a country and a world — and how far someone will go to get it back. It tells the story of Cassie Aquino, who lost her family ten years ago when the Weston Global Corporation recruited her parents and took her younger sister, Issable (Izzy), away. We’re nearing the end of the post production, now working on VFX and Sound, thanks in part to CLE VFX artist Billy Bolt and interface/animation designer Tony Samangy. Here’s the latest BTS video: “Reclamation Behind-The-Scenes: Making Of A Fight Scene”. https://vimeo.com/tomloveman/btsfight You can learn more about the series on the website: http://reclamation2151.com/ <http://reclamation2151.com/> And follow the Twitter feeds for the series as well as Cassie’s and Weston Global’s own Twitter feeds to get a glimpse of the world of Reclamation.

East Cleveland Theater (ECT) is hosting auditions for “Lend Me a Tenor”, written by Ken Ludwig. We are seeking 4 men and 4 women for this show. *Synopsis:* When a world class tenor comes to Cleveland, lives, loves, and relationships are turned upside down, resulting in a comedy farce that no one should miss. *The Roles:* *Henry Saunders*: The Cleveland Grand Opera's general manager. Father to Maggie. A blowhard who often loses his temper at the slightest mishap. *Max*: Saunders' long-suffering assistant, who is forced to take Tito's place in the role of Othello. *Maggie Saunders*: Saunders' daughter, and Max's girlfriend. She has a great admiration for Tito. *Tito Merelli*: The world's most renowned opera tenor, and notorious ladies man. *Maria*: Tito's long-suffering wife, with an "Italian temper". Leaves Tito early in the play, but ultimately returns to him. Loves Tito, despite his philandering. *Diana*: The opera's ingenue soprano, who is "flinging her way" to the top. A seductive woman (and she knows it). *Julia*: Chairwoman of the Cleveland Opera Guild, who considers herself a "grande dame." She wears a silver dress which, Saunders says, makes her look "like the Chrysler Building." *The Bellhop*: A comic relief character who has an ongoing feud with Saunders. An obnoxious opera fan, the Bellhop keeps showing up at the hotel suite at the wrong moment, trying to get an autograph and a photo of Tito Merelli. Saunders ends up chasing the Bellhop around the hotel suite, and trying to strangle him. *Director: Megan Thompson* Megan Thompson is Executive Director of Great Lakes Light Opera, and has directed and performed in numerous shows. *Audition Dates:* Saturday, January 21, 2016, from 11am to 1pm.

Review of "Into the Woods" at Playhouse Square
by Bob Abelman via NEohioPAL 12 Jan '17

12 Jan '17

Stripped-down ‘Into the Woods’ makes Sondheim accessible Bob Abelman Cleveland Jewish News, The News Herald, The Morning Journal Member, International Association of Theatre Critics It seems as if most theatergoers either have a love or hate relationship with composer and lyricist Stephen Sondheim. Since the 1970s, Sondheim has taken all that is simple, predictable and harmonious in the American musical and transformed it into something quite the opposite. His creations blur the line between lyric and dialogue, fill the air with a dense and steady stream of discordant sounds and images, and offer stories that are as complex as the people who populate them. Some get it; some don’t care to. Regardless, patrons approach productions of Sondheim and librettist James Lapine’s “Into the Woods,” which first opened on Broadway in 1987 and was recently turned into a star-studded film, as if it were children’s theater. Because the Tony Award-winning “Into the Woods” intertwines the familiar plots of several well-known Brothers Grimm fairy tale characters – including Little Red Riding Hood, Jack (of beanstalk fame), Rapunzel and Cinderella – parents often bring their wide-eyed tikes to the theater, who arrive expecting a coddling bedtime story but leave tearful, traumatized and by intermission. The show may revolve around a Baker and his wife venturing into the woods in an effort to reverse the magic spell that has kept them childless, but it bears all the foreboding theatrical trademarks typical of Sondheim musicals. Put Sweeney Todd in lederhosen and brightly colored socks and he is still the demon barber of Fleet Street. But the significantly stripped-down Fiasco Theater version of “Into the Woods,” which originated at the McCarter Theater in New Jersey in 2013, had an Off-Broadway run, and is currently on national tour and at Playhouse Square, is different.
