This beautiful tale tells the story of sisters learning to get along, and to find their own self-worth as they grow. Combining story-telling and music with the arts of sendrati (dance drama,) and wayang kulit (shadow puppetry) this tale of bravery and growth is a celebration not to be missed.

Beck Seeks 3 Men for (non-singing) Character Roles in "City of Angels"
by Scott Spence via NEohioPAL 14 Apr '17

14 Apr '17

Beck Center's summer musical, "*City of Angels*" (Tony Award for Best Musical in 1990) is seeking three strong male actors for character roles in the production. These roles weave in and out of the action, but are small enough to afford the actor a fairly simple rehearsal schedule as compared to many Ensemble roles in a typical musical. Rehearsals begin for "*City of Angels*" in late May. It *opens July 7th* with a *closing on Aug.* *13th*. This production plays ONLY on Fri/Sat Nights and Sun. afternoons. All three of these roles do NOT require singing. They are acting roles in search of very strong character actors. If you are interested in being seen for any of these roles please contact Scott at scottdavidspence(a)gmail.com so we can set up an appointment to see you. These roles are all stipended. Actor conflicts can be worked around through approximately June 25th or so. *ROLES* *Sonny*---- Age 30 to 50 Your typical 1940's weasle-like crime heavy. Next to his partner in crime (Big Six---see below) he is clearly the brains of the operation. Actor needs to bring some true menace to the role. Should be on the trim side. 5'8" to 6'0" ideally. *Big Six*--- Sonny's partner. Ideally an imposing mountain of a man. In a perfect world? 6' 8". Looking for no less than 6' 2", and ideally 6' 4" or 6' 5" realistically. Can be heavy--- can be muscular. But clearly he is built to do damage. Not the sharpest tool in the shed, but he has other resources. Age 25 to 50. *Dr. Mandril*--- 40 to 60 years old. A strange and quirky "Spiritual Therapist" to wealthy, but iron-lung bound Millionaire Luther Kingsley. Creepy and of ambiguous intent, he manages to catch one of the many flying bullets. All three of these characters appear in the "Movie" portions of the script, but also have brief cameos in other scenes as real-life Hollywood types. Please drop us an e-mail (do NOT call Beck's Box Office) if you'd like to schedule a time to be seen, or simply have additional questions. The cast that is already in place for this production is top notch, and we are looking to complete it with some amazing talent.

I live in the Cleveland area and am looking to enhance my skills as a video editor. For years I've edited videos at my leisure with outdated software. The truth is I would like to become more professional in order to serve others on projects. If there are individuals whom I could learn from, I'd be honored to volunteer my time on some projects for the experience. Lawrence Williams216-288-4739

FREE PLAYWRITING WORKSHOPS SATURDAY, APRIL 15 *Offered by Playwrights Local* Join Playwrights Local for a pair of free workshops on Saturday, April 15, beginning at 11:00am. Both sessions will be presented as part of Playwrights Local’s 2017 Play Lab <http://www.playwrightslocal.org/2017playlab/> event. Registration is not required. Sessions are 1:45 each.

Each one is unique to its author and each has its own inspiration. Maybe you have an idea bouncing around in your head that you’d like to spend some time with – a voice, a scene, an image – or maybe you’re just interested in putting a few words on a blank page. In this workshop we’ll generate scenes, monologues, and other material for the stage, and find inspiration for both short and long plays. You’ll write in new ways and create possibilities to carry forward. For new to advanced playwrights. 1:15 pm The Past Is Never Past: Writing History Plays with Arwen Mitchell History may seem like, well, history – but not when it comes to riveting narrative and producable plays. This workshop goes through different types of history plays, from experimental to well-made, and will provide lively discussion, exercises, strategies and more for the writer who’s interested in creating any kind of dramatic work from the past.
