The Final Weekend of The Bridges of Madison County
by Martin Friedman via NEohioPAL 16 Feb '17

16 Feb '17

*Lakeland Civic Theatre * *The Bridges of Madison County* ""So let’s make one thing perfectly clear: One could not ask for a more beautiful musical rendering of this show, since the two leads, Trinidad Snider as Francesca and Shane Patrick O’Neil as Robert, deliver Brown’s evocative songs with power, tenderness and deep feeling. Indeed, the entire cast under the well-crafted musical direction of Jordan Cooper has a chance to display their estimable vocal talents in a number of genre-varied tunes." Christine Howey, "Raves and Pans" Music and Lyrics by Jason Robert Brown Book by Marsha Norman "In addition to Friedman's attraction to underdogs, he also has an affinity for finding the heart in everything he stages, particularly the underdogs. Which is why his Northeast Ohio premiere production of “The Bridges of Madison County” works so well." Bob Abelman, "The Cleveland Jewish News and The News Herald" Directed by Martin Friedman Sets and Lights by Trad A Burns Musical Direction by Jordan Cooper Costumes by Tesia Benson Sound by Eric Simna "As they did in their remarkable 2014 production of “The Light at the Piazza,” Friedman and designer Trad A Burns manage to bring a European flavor and a palatable sense of longing to the stage, despite this play’s Iowa setting and the realistic covered bridge built to house all the play’s action. They do this through unhurried pacing, rich lighting and the long, dramatic shadows it creates, and the confidence to linger during the significant silences in romantic moments before finally fading to black." Bob Abelman, "The Cleveland Jewish News and The News Herald" *The Play:* *The Bridges of Madison County* is based on the best-selling novel, and developed by the Pulitzer and Tony Award-winning creative team of Jason Robert Brown (The Last Five Years, Parade and Songs for a New World) and Marsha Norman (The Secret Garden, ‘Night Mother and The Color Purple) who went on to win the Tony Award for Best Score and Orchestrations in 2014 for this stunning romance. On a quiet farm in America’s heartland, an immigrant Italian war bride becomes an Iowan housewife. That is, until a National Geographic photographer seeking directions to the area’s historic covered bridges knocks on her door. As she helps him find the locations for the photo shoots, an unexpected, yet powerful connection grows. A sweeping romance about the roads we travel, the doors we open and the bridges we dare to cross will leave audiences breathless. *The Bridges of Madison County* is a Tony-award winning and Northeast Ohio local premiere. Be swept away… *Roles:* *Francesca Johnson :* *Trinidad Snider* *Richard "Bud" Johnson**: **Scott Esposito* *Robert Kincaid**: **Shane O'Neill* *Marian/Chiara**: **Amanda Tidwell* *Michael Johnson:* *Frank Ivancic* *Carolyn Johnson**: **Anna Barrett* *Marge:* *Amiee Collier* *Charlie:* *Brian Altman* *Production Dates:* *The Bridges of Madison County **will open on Friday, February 3 and run through February 19, 2017.

Are you getting the roles you want? (Early Bird registration is ending!)
by Brian Bowers via NEohioPAL 16 Feb '17

16 Feb '17

‘Make Money Acting’ BootcampSaturday, March 18th 9:30am – 3:00pmCleveland, OH (Location TBA) *Early Bird Registration is ending Friday, February 17th!* <http://gorillafilmschool.com/make-money-acting-bootcamp-early/> Are you getting the acting roles you want, and getting PAID for them? Every day actors are booked on jobs for commercials, industrial training videos, print work, and even TV and film--are these the kinds of jobs you'd like to book? If not, why aren't you getting them? Chances are, you're not looking in the right place. Or you're not marketing yourself in a way that makes casting directors BEG to work with you again. What's the secret? Why do some actors always seem to get the great auditions and bookings, while others struggle to try to break into the industry, only to get shut down audition after audition until they get to the point that they're so frustrated they want to give up their dreams forever? People aren’t born knowing how to navigate the ins and outs of the entertainment industry–for most people, their knowledge comes from years of experience working as an actor, going to auditions, taking good roles and bad roles, working hard to get noticed by agents and casting directors so they can slowly move up the acting food chain. That’s certainly one way to do it. But if you’re like most actors outside of Hollywood, you probably don’t have the time or the energy to go through all of those steps. You probably have a job, or school, or a family to take care of. You may not have the flexibility in your schedule to go to EVERY single audition just to get enough experience to figure out what you’re doing. And really, who needs the frustration of going to auditions and getting tons of rejections when you may never even be considering a full time career in acting? That’s why we created the ‘Make Money Acting’ Bootcamp <http://gorillafilmschool.com/make-money-acting-bootcamp-early/>. We will teach you, step-by-step, exactly what you need to know in order to go from no acting experience to booking national commercials. This information has been tested over many years, and is the exact same material and techniques used by talent agencies to get actors booked in commercials, industrial training videos, commercial print, TV, and film. The material works: - Even if you’ve never acted before - Even if you don’t have headshots, a reel, or any other marketing materials - Even if you’ve met with talent agencies in the past and haven’t been signed - Even if you’ve been the victim of one of the many acting scams out there - Even if you have no idea who to trust or where to start Hi, I’m Brian Bowers. I’m a former talent agent who has successfully negotiated tens of thousands of dollars in bookings for actors and models in commercials, TV, film, voiceovers, and print. I continue to work in the film industry today, helping producers and filmmakers create films as a part of the world’s largest timed film competition. I’ve worked in the entertainment industry for over 30 years–as an actor, producer, photographer, entrepreneur, and more. As an agent, it was easy to see which actors were going to be successful. The ones that did exactly as we instructed them did very well–they were called in for tons of auditions, got booked on lots of jobs (some of them very high-paying), and were even requested by clients for future gigs that they didn’t even have to audition for. That’s how I know the techniques I’m going to show you actually work–because they are the same techniques these successful actors used to get regular bookings and make money working in the entertainment industry. In the ‘Make Money Acting’ Bootcamp <http://gorillafilmschool.com/make-money-acting-bootcamp-early/> we will take a comprehensive look at how the entertainment industry works as a whole, and then guide you through each step–from deciding how you fit into the industry, to landing an agent, and to getting auditions and bookings. You’ll learn more in this one day workshop than many actors will learn over the entire course of their careers! Here is just some of what will be covered: - how the entertainment industry works - jobs in the industry - determining your “type” - how to get work in commercials, industrials, voiceovers, TV/film, and print - contracts & releases - getting an agent - working with an agency - rates & residuals - unions - headshots, resumes, and reels - avoiding scams - dealing with rejection - auditioning on camera - and more! Registration for the 'Make Money Acting' Bootcamp is open now. There are limited spaces available, and there is a special *Early Bird registration rate until February 17t*h--but hurry, that's this Friday! This small investment in your career could literally pay you back thousands of times over the course of your career. Are you ready to get the auditions and jobs you WANT and DESERVE? To see exactly what will be covered during the event and get more information, visit http://gorillafilmschool.com/make-money-acting-bootcamp- early/.

Workshop Players Auditions This Weekend .. Don't Dress For Dinner by Mark Camoletti
by Workshop Players via NEohioPAL 16 Feb '17

16 Feb '17

Auditions! Auditions! Auditions! *Don’t Dress for Dinner *by Mark Camoletti, directed by Pat Price Sunday February 19 and Monday February 20 7:00 at Workshop Players Theater, 44820 Middle Ridge Rd., Amherst This six character farce, featuring 3 men and 3 women just never stops coming at the audience with identity switches and surprises. The writing is a gift to actors involved in this madcap pace. Here’s what the Guardian had to say about it, “Hurtling along at the speed of light Marc Camoletti’s breathtaking farce is a near faultless piece of theatrical invention …” Bernard —40s-60s. He hopes to entertain his chic Parisienne mistress at his home when his wife goes to care for her ailing mother. In preparation he hires a gourmet cook to make the weekend special AND invites his unsuspecting best friend as an alibi. As things go awry Bernard becomes increasing unraveled and spilled upon, requiring many changes of shirts!! Jacqueline —40s-60s. Bernard’s wife’s plans change when she hears that Robert, Bernard’s best friend, is coming for the weekend because of an affair that they have begun. Stunned and confused by the behavior of both her paramour and her husband as the evening unfolds, she slowly catches on to the truth of the situation, or does she? Robert — 40s-60s. Poor Robert is ambushed again and again as he first learns of Bernard’s real plans, then discovers that his own mistress (Bernard’s wife) will, indeed, be there. Out of necessity he assumes several different identities as he scrambles desperately to make it through the evening. For poor Robert, it’s an uphill battle. Suzanne— 30s-50s. Bernard’s Parisienne mistress arrives and is immediately mistaken by Robert as the gourmet chef, a role she must try to play out as the evening progresses. She is ill suited for that task as is soon evident her her frustration elevates. Since she is a model, Suzanne must be able to carry herself off as such even in the midst of confusing role playing. Suzette —30s-50s. She is REALLY the cook who takes on the role of the mistress. She definitely plays this role with relish, despite initial confusion over the evening’s goings on. Quite the entrepreneur, Suzette benefits monetarily from the ruse and loves every minute of it, rubbing it in whenever possible. George— 40s-60s. George is Suzette’s husband who appears for the last scene of the play. He is somewhat surprised when faced with the events of the evening to say the least. George must be physically imposing and capable of using some of that muscle in a theatrically safe way, of course!! Performance dates: April 20 - May 7. -- Workshop Players 44820 Middle Ridge Road, Amherst, OH 44001 Box Office: 440-988-5613 (Box Office hours: 9 a.m. to 7 p.m.) contact(a)workshopplayers.com www.workshopplayers.com "If all the world's a stage, I want better lighting!"
