AUDITIONS FOR GODSPELL at Strongsville Community Theatre
by patricia dailyda 02 Nov '17

02 Nov '17

Direction by Douglas F. bailey II Musical Direction by Matthew Steven Grittner Choreography by Nicci Cassara Billington WHERE: Strongsville Senior Center, 18100 Royalton Road (behind the Target store), Strongsville OH 44149. WHEN: December 12 and 13, 2017, from 7-10 PM. No appointment necessary. Please arrive at 7 PM and be prepared to move. CALLBACKS: Will be December 17, 2017, from 1-5 PM by invitation only. REHEARSALS: Sundays-Thursdays beginning March 4, 2018.PRODUCTION DATES: April 20 to May 5, 2018. WHAT TO PREPARE: A 32 bar cut of a musical theatre song in the style of the show. CAST OF CHARACTERS:JESUS - Must be the most charismatic individual in the cast. High energy, charming, funny, gentle but with strength. He is the sort of person others instinctively follow.JOHN THE BAPTIST/JUDAS - He has attributes of both Biblical figures: He’s both Jesus’ lieutenant and most ardent disciple and the doubter who begins to question and rebel. Like Jesus, he is also charismatic, but in more of an overt revolutionary way. Usually played by someone handsome and masculine, with an undertone of sexuality. He is the most “serious” and intellectual of the group, though as with all the actors, he must still possess a good sense of physical comedy. WE BESEECH THEE - Very high energy. Impish and playful. ALL GOOD GIFTS - Not the brightest in the bunch, he is a little slow on the uptake. But there is a great sweetness and innocence about him. Must be a very good singer. LIGHT OF THE WORLD - The comedian, the class clown. The guy who can do a hundred voices and imitations. DAY BY DAY - A bit of a tomboy, but basically open and sweet. Perhaps the youngest of the group. She is the first of the group to commit to following Jesus. BLESS THE LORD - The confident one, the show-off. The first one to volunteer, sometimes she jumps in before she really understands what’s going on. BY MY SIDE - The shy one. Sometimes a little slow to get things, but when she does, she commits all the way. Has an “earth mother” kind of warmth to her. TURN BACK O MAN - Sassy and slightly cynical, the most urban of the group. Also the “sexy” one, but her sexiness contains a large element of put-on, in the manner of Mae West or Madonna (who, in fact, once played this role). LEARN YOUR LESSONS WELL - The female equivalent of the class clown. Goofy and a cut-up. STRONGSVILLE COMMUNITY THEATRE WEBSITE: www.StrongsvilleCommunityTheatre.comTHEATRE EMAIL: askSCT(a)gmail.com

Beck Center for the Arts Youth Theater, one of the oldest continuously running Youth & Teen Theaters in the country, will be holding auditions on November 18 & 19, 2017 for the third production of our 69th Anniversary Season: THE LARAMIE PROJECT Written by Moisés Kaufman and the Members of Tectonic Theater Project Directed by Becca Ciamacco The Story: In October 1998, a twenty-one-year-old student at the University of Wyoming was kidnapped, severely beaten, and left tied to a fence in the middle of the prairie outside Laramie, Wyoming. Matthew Shepard died several days later - the victim of this assault because he was gay. Moisés Kaufman and fellow members of the Tectonic Theater Project visited Laramie over the course of a year and a half, in the aftermath of the beating and during the trial, conducting more than 200 interviews with the people of the town. THE LARAMIE PROJECT is a breathtaking collage that explores the depths to which humanity can sink and the heights of compassion of which we are capable.

"Talking With..." at Weathervane Playhouse previews tonight!
by Fred Gloor 02 Nov '17

02 Nov '17

Weathervane Playhouse to present Jane Martin's Talking With... 11 stories from 11 women set to grace the Dietz Stage AKRON - Weathervane Playhouse presents the first Dietz Theater production of the season as Jane Martin's iconic monologue play Talking With... is set to run November 2 - 12 in Weathervane's intimate Dietz Theater. Show times are Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays at 7:30 p.m. and Sundays at 2:30 p.m. There is also a single Saturday matinee performance on November 11 at 3:30 p.m. Tickets are $10- $22 and are available by calling the box office at 330-836-2626 or by going to www.weathervanplayhouse.com<http://www.weathervanplayhouse.com> Talking With... is a play made up of monologues, each eight to ten minutes long and featuring a different female character who talks about their life and personal ordeals. These idiosyncratic characters amuse, move, frighten, and speak from the depths of their souls. They include a baton twirler, a fundamentalist snake handler, an ex-rodeo rider and an actress willing to go to any length to get a job. Many of the monologues are touching, some are intensely emotional, and a couple are even comical. All of the pieces, however, show how the varied experiences and events in one's life affect who we are as humans. These extraordinary monologues received a standing ovation when they premiered at The Actors Theatre of Louisville and won the 1982 American Theatre Critics Association Award for Best Regional Play. Jane Martin, a Kentuckian, first came to national attention for Talking With..., a collection of monologues premiering in Actors Theatre of Louisville's 1982 Humana Festival of New American Plays. Since its New York premiere at Manhattan Theatre Club in 1982, Talking With... has been performed around the world, winning the Best Foreign Play of the Year Award in Germany from Theatre Heute magazine. Her other work includes: Vital Signs, Cementville, Keely And Du (Pulitzer Prize nominee; 1994 American Theatre Critics Association Best New Play Award), Jack And Jill (1997 American Theatre Critics Association Best New Play Award), Anton In Show Business (2001 American Theatre Critics/Steinberg Principal Citation), Mr. Bundy, and Flaming Guns Of The Purple Sage. Good Boys premiered at Guthrie Theater in 2002. Flags was co-produced by Guthrie Theater and Mixed Blood in 2004, and her most recent work, Sez She, premiered at Illusion Theatre in April 2006. Weathervane's production of Talking With... includes performances by a kitten named Pongo courtesy of Paws and Prayers and a ball python named Bedford courtesy of The Herps Alive Foundation. Both animals will be up for adoption during the run of the show. Weathervane's production of Talking With... is sponsored by a generous donation from Margaret J. Dietz and produced in partnership with The Big Love Network. Audience Advisory: Due to adult language and themes, this play is not suitable for children. Talking With... is presented through special arrangement with Samuel French, Inc. The videotaping or other video or audio recording of this production is strictly prohibited For interviews, media members should contact Fred Gloor at 330-836-2626 or fgloor(a)weathervaneplayhouse.com<mailto:fgloor@weathervaneplayhouse.com> Weathervane Playhouse provides high-quality live theater with volunteer artists, designers, and technicians under professional direction, delivers education and training in theater arts and appreciation, and engages and entertains its audience to enrich the quality of life in northeast Ohio.
