THANK YOU! “We got this!” Video Script Chiropractors have an endless to-do list on top of caring for patients. This means long days in the office with little personal time. What if someone stepped in to help them take care of all their business tasks, so they could focus on patient care AND still make it out of the office in time for dinner? This franchise sales aid video uses original footage with dialogue and voiceover to show that when chiropractors partner with a franchise, “we got this!” Notes Visual Audio Music up OPEN ON desk in doctor’s personal office within a clinic. A WIDE SHOT pushes in to a messy desk stacked with piles of files, paperwork, 4 binders and a mess of personal items, coffee cups, empty water bottles, framed photo, etc..).

A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE opens at Playhouse Square on 4/20
by Theatre via NEohioPAL 12 Apr '17

12 Apr '17

-------------------------------------------------------------- CSU Department of Theatre and Dance presents A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE April 20-30, 2017 Cleveland State University's Department of Theatre and Dance, a Resident Company of Playhouse Square, closes its 2016-2017 season with the Tennessee Williams classic A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE. Playing the Helen Rosenfeld Lewis Bialosky Lab Theatre in the Allen Theatre Complex of Playhouse Square April 20-30, 2017, this definitive American drama is guest directed by Dobama Theatre Artistic Director Nathan Motta. General Ticketing Shows run Thursdays through Saturdays at 7:30 p.m., as well as Sundays at 2 p.m. $10 General Admission Tickets are available by calling 216.241.6000, visiting playhousesquare.org<http://www.playhousesquare.org/events/detail/a-streetcar-named-desire>, or buying at the State Theatre Ticket Office, located at 1519 Euclid Avenue, Cleveland, OH 44115. Tickets are also available 60-minutes prior to performances at the Allen Theatre Complex. CSU Students, Faculty and Staff can purchase one $5.00 ticket per Valid CSU ID presented at time of in person purchase. The Story A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE is considered one of the greatest plays written for the American Theatre. It is a timeless piece about delusion, reality, madness, love, and loss. Set in a small garden apartment in 1940s New Orleans, Stanley Kowalski's primitive desires violently clash with Blanch Dubois' longing for a past which may or may not have ever existed. Immortalized by the film starring Marlon Brando and Vivien Leigh, this iconic play blends grittiness and lyricism to create some of the most memorable and heart-wrenching characters ever created. According to director Nathan Motta, "STREETCAR is one of the greatest treasures in the canon of American Theatre. I'm looking forward to collaborating with CSU students and staff to create a production that rejects the treatment of this play as a period, antiquated, museum piece, but rather presents a relevant, urgent piece of epic, intimate theatre." "This play deals with themes and issues that unfortunately are concerns America is still grappling with; class discrimination, gender inequality, domestic violence, and sexual assault among other things." The all CSU Cast includes Lilyvette Acevedo as Flower Vendor/Mexican Woman, Cheyenne Bizon as Nurse, Nadia Valencia Davis as Eunice Hubbell, Nick Earl as Stanley Kowalski, Jacob Christopher Gaspar as Steve Hubbell, Caitlin M. Hathaway as Stella Kowalski, Joseph I Jackson as Pablo Gonzalez, Alyssa Jacobs as Woman/Negro Woman, Steven Livingston as Harold "Mitch" Mitchell, Sullivan Ratcliff as A Young Collector, Jamie K. Satterfield as Blanche Dubois, and Peter Sherman as Doctor.

Berko review: BETWEEN RIVERSIDE AND CRAZY @ CPH
by Roy Berko via NEohioPAL 12 Apr '17

12 Apr '17

*••••••••••••••••••••••••* *“Between Riverside and Crazy” is an interesting set of character investigations within a plot which probably won’t fascinate, but will instill interest. The production is excellent, the set fascinating, the laughs enough to keep attention and diminish some of the angst, and offers viewers a chance to experience seldom used runway staging.* *To read the entire review go to: www.royberko.info <http://www.royberko.info>* *•••••••••••••••*

by Fred Gloor via NEohioPAL 12 Apr '17

12 Apr '17

The excellent reviews are coming in for Jesus Christ Superstar at Weathervane Playhouse. Get your tickets before they're gone. "Moving and Visceral," with "Potent Vocals," - Akron Beacon Journal http://www.ohio.com/entertainment/arts/theater-review-creative-emotional-st… "Moving" and "Emotionally satisfying" - West Side Leader http://www.akron.com/akron-ohio-entertainment-news.asp?aID=33837 Tickets for Jesus Christ Superstar are $10-$26 and can be purchased by calling the box office at 330-836-2626 or going to www.weathervaneplayhouse.com<http://www.weathervaneplayhouse.com> Weathervane Playhouse brings "Jesus Christ Superstar" to the stage. What's the buzz? The original rock opera is what's-a-happening. AKRON, OH - Weathervane Playhouse presents Jesus Christ Superstar, the original rock opera, March 30 to April 23, 3017. Performance days and times are Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays at 7:30 p.m. and Sundays at 2:30 pm (with no performance on Easter Sunday, April 16). Additionally a 10 a.m. performance will be presented for school groups on Tuesday, April 4. A global phenomenon that has wowed audiences for over 40 years, Jesus Christ Superstar is a timeless work set against the backdrop of an extraordinary and universally-known series of events but seen, unusually, through the eyes of Judas Iscariot. Director Melanie YC Pepe says of the production, "Jesus Christ Superstar is a courageous musical. It invites the audience to look at someone they don't understand and try to see the world from their point of view. That is a very difficult thing to do." About the Play: Jesus Christ Superstar was the first musical by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice to be produced for the professional stage and first came to major theatres when it debuted on Broadway in October 1971 at the Mark Hellinger Theatre in New York. Less than 12 months after the Broadway show opened, the rock spectacle went to London, exploding onto the West End at the Palace Theatre in August 1972 in a hugely successful production. By 1980, after 3,358 performances, Jesus Christ Superstar had become the longest running musical in West End history at the time and grossed $12.3 million. In all, Jesus Christ Superstar has grossed over $205 million and has been professionally produced in 42 countries around the world! About the Creators: Composer Andrew Lloyd Webber was born on March 22, 1948, and grew up in South Kensington, England. His childhood was spent in a home filled with music and he demonstrated, from an early age, an extraordinary talent for it. He is the composer of many musicals, including Jesus Christ Superstar, Evita, Cats, Starlight Express, The Phantom of the Opera, and Sunset Boulevard. Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom knighted him in 1992 as Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber. He is the recipient of seven Tony Awards, three Grammys, one Oscar, an International Emmy and a Golden Globe. In 2006, he was named one of five of that year's Kennedy Center Honors recipients. Love Never Dies, a sequel to his Phantom of the Opera, opened in London in 2010. In 2011, he wrote the music for a new stage version of The Wizard of Oz. Originally starring Michael Crawford (the original star of Broadway's Phantom of the Opera), the production opened in London in March 2011 and ran until September 2012 (followed thereafter by a production in Toronto and a U.S. tour). His newest show, School of Rock: The Musical, opened on Broadway in 2015 (and is still playing to enthusiastic audiences at the Winter Garden Theatre). His foundation, the Andrew Lloyd Webber Music Program, is one of England's leading arts and education charities. Currently, nearly 3,000 children receive free musical instruments and music tuition throughout their school careers thanks to the foundation's gifts. Lyricist Tim Rice was born in Buckinghamshire, England, on November 10, 1944. He entered the world of popular music as the lead singer of the pop-rock group the Aardvarks and went on to sing occasionally with other popular rock groups of the 1960s. He published his first song, That's My Story, in 1965 - the same year he met his eventual musical partner, Andrew Lloyd Webber. In addition to Jesus Christ Superstar, the two Englishmen collaborated on the blockbuster musicals Evita and Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. Rice has worked with other notable composers, including Marvin Hamlisch and Paul McCartney, and received three Grammys for his work on Walt Disney's Aladdin. With Elton John, he wrote the lyrics for Disney's The Lion King. In 2010, he reunited with his Joseph...Dreamcoat collaborator Andrew Lloyd Webber to create new songs for a stage version of The Wizard of Oz. His most recent project as a lyricist is a musical version of the World War II novel From Here to Eternity, which played in London's West End from October 2013 through March 2014.
