Final Weekend for "A Few Good Men" at Hudson Players
by Durbin, Mark H. 15 Nov '17

15 Nov '17

Seats Still Available for Last Weekend of "A Few Good Men" at Hudson Players Make plans to see the final performances of "A Few Good Men" at the Hudson Players this weekend. Showtime is 8:00 p.m. on Friday, November 17th and Saturday, November 18th at the Barlow Community Center, 41 South Oviatt Street in Hudson. . A reviewer from the Cleveland Jewish News was impressed with the intense military courtroom drama written by award-winning Aaron Sorkin, saying: "The court is now in session at Barlow Community Center. All rise, for this production of 'A Few Good Men' deserves a standing ovation....Director Brian Westerley has crafted a dramatic and intriguing production whose success relies heavily on the believability of its characters. Fortunately, Hudson Players have no shortage of wonderful actors who bring to life the people behind the uniforms...." After a successful run as a stage play on Broadway, this intense drama made its way to the movie screen starring Tom Cruise, Jack Nicholson and Demi Moore. Two Marines are on trial for complicity in the death of a fellow Marine at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba. The Navy lawyer, a callow young man more interested in softball games than the case, expects a plea bargain and a cover up of what really happened. Prodded by a female member of his defense team, the lawyer eventually makes a valiant effort to defend his clients and, in so doing, puts the military mentality and the Marine code of honor on trial. On the opposing side is Lt. Colonel Nathan Jessep, a harsh Marine with something to hide, who sees it as his duty to do whatever it takes to protect his men and his country, with a final courtroom collision not to be missed. The cast includes: Nicolas Peters, of Kent, as Navy Lt. Daniel Kaffee, the young defense attorney; Sean Donovan, of Akron, as Navy Lt. Sam Weinberg, assistant defense counsel; Charli Harbingreither, of Sagamore Hills, as Navy Lt. Commander Joanne Galloway, part of the defense team; Mitch Manthey, of Medina, as Lt. Colonel Nathan Jessep, Marine base commander; Mark Durbin, of Twinsburg, as Captain Matthew Markinson, Marine executive officer; Brian Bishop, of Stow, as Marine Lt. James Kendrick; John Sturdivant, of Ellet, as Marine Lance Corporal Harold Dawson and James Trombka, of Tallmadge, as Marine Private Louden Downey who are on trial for murder; Adam Yankay, of Hudson, as Lt. Jack Ross, prosecuting counsel; Jen Matas, of Kent, as Judge Julia Randolph; Roger Parker, of Northfield Center as Navy Captain Isaac Whitaker and Sergeant of Arms; Nathan Hill, of Hudson, as Private William Santiago/lawyer/orderly and an MP; Chris Macchione, of Hudson, as Doctor Walter Stone; John Peters, of Cuyahoga Falls, as Marine Corporal Owen Howard; and Dave Sherman, of Fairlawn, as a lawyer/Hammaker/Jessep's aide and an MP.

Last Weekend For Workshop Players' "Blithe Spirit"
by Workshop Players 15 Nov '17

15 Nov '17

A stellar cast has taken over Workshop’s stage in order to present a unique and much loved show … Blithe Spirit by Noel Coward! Under the able direction of Dave MacKeigan, the cast of Jonathan McCleery, Deb Burrow, Judy MacKeigan, Kristina Rivera, Becky Linder, Kevin Boland and Elizabeth Flood will leave you in stitches. This classic play, originally written and professionally produced in the 1940s, never fails to tickle audiences with its unusual twists and turns. Charles Condomine finds himself a a real pickle post seance when his sexy, yet dead, wife suddenly appears and refuses to go away. His current wife, none too pleased with the triangle demands that he get rid of her. That proves easier said than done and the hilarity that ensues is well worth the price of admission. Remaining performances are November 17,18,19. Friday and Saturday at 7:30; Sunday at 3. Call our box office at (440) 988-5613 for tickets. Tickets are $15. Group rates available.

Canal Fulton Players- Legally Blonde, the Musical opens November 16, 2017
by dvangaasbe＠aol.com 14 Nov '17

14 Nov '17

Legally Blonde, the Musical has arrived in Canal Fulton, Ohio on November 16-19 Elle Woods had it made. She was graduating with a 4.0 grade point average in Fashion Merchandising, was the most popular girl in Delta Nu sorority, and had the most eligible bachelor as a boyfriend. Life could not be any better for Elle and all of her sorority sisters led by her good friends, Margot and Serena, just could not wait for the moment that everyone knew was coming. With graduation approaching, Elle was waiting for Warner, her boyfriend, to pop the question so she could advance in social standing and live the dream life in sunny Southern California. That was until Warner told her that he was going to Harvard Law School in far off Massachusetts and that she, meaning Elle, just was not part of his future plans. So he dumped her while dining at a fashionable restaurant. Devastated, Elle returned to her sorority house and went into hiding. So what does Elle do? As stated, she withdraws from life and holes up in her sorority room. Then, with a little prodding from her friends, Margot and Serena, she reluctantly comes out and starts to revive timidly. That is until she spots a magazine article which sparks her imagination and what an imagination it is. She decides that the only way to win Warner back is to apply, get accepted and attend Harvard Law School. Not to study the law but to win one for LOVE. The only problem is that Harvard Law School has never had a fashion merchandising major as an applicant much less as a student. That is until Elle Woods applies for admission with an unusual marketing campaign. And thus, Elle majestically gains admittance to Harvard Law School, for all of the wrong reasons, which is somehow drummed into her head during the first days at the school. It is with a great deal of pleasure and pride that the Canal Fulton Players present Elle Woods’ triumphs, tragedies, and travails as she progresses through law school. Played by Kristina Currans, Elle befriends a shy hair dresser (Audrey Lee), a third year law student, who is on the brink of entering the profession (Bryan Steffee), and a fellow law student who looks more at home in a battlefield foxhole than a classroom (Courtney Hardy). With her new friends and her new approach to law school, she battles the old boyfriend’s new girlfriend (Olivia Durell), an arrogant, mean and condescending law professor (Geri Marken-Rogler), and the entire snobby atmosphere of Harvard Law. To tell you more would spoil a fun filled evening at the Puff, which is the performing arts auditorium at Northwest High School, 8580 Erie Avenue North, Canal Fulton, Ohio. Other members of the cast are Olivia Petrey (Brooke Wyndham, Margot), Jamie Orlando (Serena), Daniel Schmidt (Warner), Cyle Carte (Nikos), Drew Glover (Kyle), Maya McCoy (Chutney), and Jake Sustersic (Carlos). The remainder of the cast makes up the Delta Nu sorority at UCLA, the first year law class at Harvard, and the Greek choir in Elle’s head. This is a Music Theatre International production. Written by Heather Hach, Laurence O’Keefe, and Nell Benjamin, it is produced by David Van Gaasbeek and directed by Joshua Rowe. Music direction is by Steven Miller. Choreography is by Olivia Petrey. Sean Wirfel is the stage manager. The Canal Fulton Players will perform Legally Blonde, the Musical, at Northwest High School on November 16-19, 2017. Thursday, Friday, and Saturday performances start at 7:30 pm. The Sunday matinee performance starts at 3:00 pm. Tickets are $12.00 for adults and $10.00 for seniors and children under the age of 12. Ticket reservations can be done by calling David Van Gaasbeek at 330-494-1022 or 330-854-4387 or by leaving a message at the Canal Fulton Players Official Page on Facebook.
