Dear Subscribers, Happy New Year! We hope you had a fantastic holiday season. NEohioPAL is now in its 19th year of providing people like you a valuable tool that draws together Northeast Ohio's arts community. Your donation keeps this unique performing arts resource alive and free to all readers and posters. Last year a modest number (around 3.1%) of NEohioPAL supporters generously helped us defray costs. Here is a list <http://www.fredsternfeld.com/neohiopal/northeast-ohio-performing-arts-list-…> of those people who chose to have their names listed. NEohioPAL supporters are performers, artists and arts lovers who recognize the value of staying in touch with our region's arts scene. They are also people who realize that we have some very real expenses: web hosting, bandwidth, utilities, supplies and our time keeping the site free of SPAM and running smoothly. If you have ever learned of an audition, found a job, promoted your event or had a great night out at a performance, please consider supporting our efforts through a donation. To donate, please go to http://www.fredsternfeld.com/support-neohiopal/. At that site you will find the Paypal link to volunteer your financial support - OR - mail a check (put your email address in the check's memo section so we can acknowledge your donation and thank you on the contributors's page) made out to "NEohioPAL, Ltd." and send it to: NEohioPAL, Ltd. c/o Fred Sternfeld 24021 Halburton Rd. Beachwood, Ohio 44122 Here are suggestions to help you decide what to donate: 14 cents per day = $50 per year 20 cents per day = $75 per year *27 cents per day = $100 per year* *50 cents per day = $182.50 per year* *1 dollar per day = $365 per year* Any amount ($5 or $10 is fine) is helpful. If you are able to do more, even better. Thanks for your participation in making the arts scene in Northeast Ohio vibrant and collaborative. Warm Regards, Fred Sternfeld <http://www.fredsternfeld.com/> NEohioPAL founder and administrator Noah Budin <http://www.noahbudin.com/> NEohioPAL associate administrator P.S. We will post this message to NEohioPAL several times over the next few weeks. After that, we will not do a direct "ask" again until January of next year. If a modest donation is not in your budget this month, information on how to support NEohioPAL will always be in the footer of each message. http://www.fredsternfeld.com/support-neohiopal/ fredsternfeld(a)neohiopal.org http://www.fredsternfeld.com/neohiopal/ <http://www.fredsternfeld.com/neohiopal.htm> -- Fred Sternfeld Neohiopal Ltd.

Auditions for Neil LaBute play at Kent State University at Stark
by Newberg, Brian via NEohioPAL 06 Jan '17

06 Jan '17

THEATRE AUDITIONS FOR REASONS TO BE HAPPY AT KENT STATE UNIVERSITY AT STARK JAN. 24-25 Auditions open to all, including students and members of the community. (NORTH CANTON, OH, Jan. 5, 2017) - The Kent State University at Stark Theatre has announced open auditions for the next theatrical production of the season, Reasons to Be Happy by Neil LaBute, and directed by Kent State Stark Associate Professor of Theatre and Theatre Director Brian Newberg. Auditions are open to everyone, including students and community members. Kent State Stark encourages diversity in its casting. Four characters (Steph, Greg, Kent and Carly), whose personalities barely match up, become entangled in one another's lives in romantic, humorous and, sometimes, violent ways as they pursue a common denominator - happiness. However, such happiness does not come without tension, sacrifice and a little bit of comedy. Auditions will be held on Jan. 24-25 at 6 p.m. in the Fine Arts Theatre, 6000 Frank Avenue NW in Jackson Township. Roles are available for two women and two men. There are no roles for children in the production. Those auditioning may perform a prepared monologue, if they wish, and the director may also choose sides (selected scene excerpts) for some to perform. Performance dates are April 14-15 and 20-21 at 7:30 p.m., and April 16 and 23 (with American Sign Language interpretation) at the Kent State Stark Theatre. Rehearsals begin Feb. 27 and will occur five evenings a week until opening. Visit www.kent.edu/stark/theatre-auditions<http://www.kent.edu/stark/theatre-auditions> for more information about auditions for this production. Scripts (and audition sides) are available for perusal for periods up to 24 hours from the Fine Arts secretary (330-244-5151), Monday through Friday, during business hours (8 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.). Audition appointments are recommended, but not required. Scripts will also be available in the reserve area of the Kent State Stark Learning Center. To learn more about Kent State Stark's Theatre Department, visit www.kent.edu/stark/theatre<http://www.kent.edu/stark/theatre>. Questions about auditions may be directed to Brian Newberg (bnewberg(a)kent.edu<mailto:bnewberg@kent.edu>).
