Cleveland Public Theatre presents the 2017 CPT / Y-Haven Theatre Project: GOLDEN<http://www.cptonline.org/performances/seasons/2016-2017/y-haven-theatre-pro…> Formerly homeless men in transition create a new theatre piece based on their journeys toward recovery NOVEMBER 2 - 5 (Thu/Friday/Sun) Cleveland Public Theatre and Y-Haven present Golden, created and performed by the residents of Y-Haven, a branch of the Greater Cleveland YMCA. A nineteen-year partnership between the two organizations, the project introduces theatre arts to formerly homeless men recovering from substance abuse and mental health challenges. As they work with CPT artists to create an original performance based on their personal experiences, participants develop skills and capacities that support their sobriety and transition to employment, permanent housing and independent living. PLOT SUMMARY - Golden What happens when old buddies rekindle their friendships after 5 years of disconnection? Craig is back in town seeking support through a family emergency. While out fishing, the friends reel in a mysterious lockbox from the bottom of the lake. When the box is unlocked and gold is revealed, motives are questioned, desire overpowers, and haunting stories emerge as relationships fray. Golden is a compelling original play exploring the cost of greed, the calling of friendship, and how stories shape our existence and connect us to our humanity. CAST Willie Arney, Eric Berry, Leonard Corbin, Daniel Cross, Maurice Foster, David Gumins, Fred Hall, George Hayes, Carl Jones, Carlton Knox, Lorenzo Lett, John Posey, Russell Nelson & Marco Woods.

Private Shakespeare Verse Tutoring in Akron/Cleveland, $25/hour
by Tess Burgler 23 Oct '17

23 Oct '17

I’m looking to take on acting students who are interested in learning Shakespearean verse and rhetoric. I am happy to assist you with specific audition monologues or simply work with you to make the language more accessible. Using tools from John Barton’s verse studies, I can show you how Shakespeare’s verse and language work for—never against—the actor. I have been performing and working in professional Shakespeare companies for 25 years and currently am a full time company member and Managing Director for Ohio Shakespeare Festival in Akron, Ohio. I have a passion for Shakespearean language as studied by the actor (not the scholar), and my teaching style is direct and actionable. Please learn a little more about me here: http://www.ohioshakespearefestival.com/resident-staff/ $25/hour if you can meet me in downtown Akron at the Ohio Shakespeare Festival theatre. $35/hour if you need me to drive to you (possibly more if you are quite far away). If you are interested in purchasing more than one lesson, I would also happily discuss a package deal. Please email me at tess(a)ohioshakespeare.com or call my work number at 330-374-7574 with questions or to schedule.
