by Andrew Valdez 14 Nov '17

14 Nov '17

Dear Northeast Ohio artists, CPT is beginning to plan the fifth annual Station Hope event - a free multi-arts event that celebrates the triumphs of the Underground Railroad, Cleveland's social justice history and contemporary struggles for freedom and justice. The format of Station Hope includes multiple stages with 10-15 minute pieces performing simultaneously throughout the evening. This year, Station Hope will be a massive community celebration at and surrounding Ohio City's historic St. John's Church - Cleveland's only authenticated Underground Railroad site - on May 5th, 2018. CPT is looking for artists, performance groups, choirs, and organizations to create original work and perform at this powerful event. Performances can range from site-specific plays, actors in character wandering through the event, or your church choir singing. We are also seeking visual artists who are interested in creating community generated art and installations. Click here for the Station Hope 2018 Request for Proposals and Application.<http://www.cptonline.org/news/uncategorized/station-hope-2018-request-for-p…> There will be a Station Hope informational meeting this Saturday, November 18th at 11 am in CPT's Church. We will be discussing how Station Hope has worked in the past, how it will work this year and sharing information about the application process. If you would like to attend, please RSVP by November 16th to CPT's New Play Associate at avaldez(a)cptonline.org<mailto:avaldez@cptonline.org>. Proposals are due on Monday, December 11th, 2017. We hope you can be a part of this incredible event! Andrew Aaron Valdez New Play Associate Cleveland Public Theatre p: 216.631.2727 x242 e: avaldez(a)cptonline.org

CPT Accepting Proposals for 18/19 Season from Local Artists
by Andrew Valdez 14 Nov '17

14 Nov '17

Dear Northeast Ohio artists, CPT is planning the 2018/2019 Season, and we are reaching out to you for great ideas. CPT is focused on new work that is surprising, unexpected and somehow outside the realm of conventional theatre. CPT is looking for proposals from Northeast Ohio artists for complete projects. Proposals may be for world premieres, second or third US productions, radical re-envisioning of classic plays or other projects. The show could be your own show or a script you would like to work on. Based on the success of past co-productions and our New Play Development series, we are also interested in creating opportunities for artists and groups that would like to retain greater ownership of projects and who can share risk with CPT. BEFORE SENDING A PROPOSAL: * Take time to look at CPT's recent seasons-these are excellent examples of our programming choices. Click Here for the Season Archive<http://www.cptonline.org/performances/seasons/>. * Get a sense of CPT's aesthetic and artistic sensibility-if you haven't seen a lot of shows at CPT, talk to people who have. * CPT has a culture of doing a lot with a little and production budgets are modest. Keep in mind CPT's financial limitations. * If this is a new/original project, think through its current state of development-is it still in early development or at the right moment for full production? SUBMITTING A PROPOSAL Proposals of complete projects should be 1-3 pages long, not including script or work samples, and must include: * A one page summary of the project: including why this project fits CPT's mission and why it's important to you as an artist. * Your sense of what state the project is currently in and a general plan to bring it to completion. * A resume for all primary artists involved. * Additional materials that will help us get a sense of the project: copy of the proposed script, a sample of past work, video, etc. Please mention if you are interested in co-producing options. DEADLINE FOR PROPOSALS IS MONDAY, DECEMBER 18TH, 2017. If you are submitting an idea for a play that is already written by an outside artist, please keep in mind that others may be proposing the same script-in other words suggesting a script does not mean you have dibs on doing it at CPT. Please be aware that CPT does not comment on why proposals are not selected. We occasionally make subjective artistic suggestions related to a project if we are asked to give feedback. Please send your proposals electronically to CPT's New Play Associate, Andrew Valdez at avaldez(a)cptonline.org<mailto:avaldez@cptonline.org>. Subject line: Your Name and "Season Proposal" - for example: Jane Smith, Season Proposal. Please post videos to VIMEO or other website and send a link with the proposal.

BURIED CHILD by Sam Shepard at LCCC
by Jeremy Benjamin 13 Nov '17

13 Nov '17

Lorain County Community College ‘s Theatre Program presents “Buried Child” at 8 p.m. on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, November 16, 17 and 18 at the Stocker Arts Center in the Cirigliano Studio Theatre. The production is directed by Terence Cranendonk. The powerful and brilliant Pulitzer Prize winning play by Sam Shepard probes deep into the disintegration of the American Dream. The play is set in a squalid farm home occupied by a family filled with suppressed violence and an unease born of deep-seated unhappiness. The characters are a ranting alcoholic grandfather; a sanctimonious grandmother who goes on drinking bouts with the local minister; and their sons, Tilden, an All-American footballer now a hulking semi-idiot; and Bradley, who has lost one leg to a chain saw. Into their midst comes Vince, a grandson none of them recognizes or remembers, and his girlfriend, Shelly, who cannot comprehend the madness to which she is suddenly introduced. The family harbors a dark secret—years earlier the grandfather, Dodge, had buried an unwanted newborn baby in an undisclosed spot, creating a cloud of guilt which is dispelled only when Tilden unearths the child's mummified remains and carries it upstairs to his mother. His act purges the family, at last, of its infamy and suggests the perhaps slim possibility of a new beginning under Vince, whose estrangement from the others has spared him the taint of their sin. Tickets are $9 for adults and $8 for LCCC students, staff and seniors 65 and up. Cost is $7 per person for groups of 15 or more. For tickets, or more information, call the Stocker Arts Center Box Office at (440) 366-4040 or visit stockerartscenter.com. This production is produced by special arrangement with Dramatists Play Service, Inc. Stocker Arts Center is located on the campus of Lorain County Community College at 1005 North Abbe Road, Elyria, Ohio. Parking on the campus is free.
