$30 head shots are back!!!
by Fenna Blue via NEohioPAL 06 Jun '17

Yes, $30 head shots are back!!! No, this is not a scam. This is a legit service I've been offering to NEOhioPAL subscribers for years. Just check out my work : Via Flickr : https://www.flickr.com/photos/shortgirl/albums/72157643730225194 Via Facebook : https://www.facebook.com/pg/unicornsandlovehandles/photos/?tab=album&album_… So why the great deal? Am I crazy or do I just suck at photography? No, I don't suck at photography. Like I said, I've been doing this for years. I've photographed many actors, musicians, and even businesses. I do this as a way of giving back to the community. I know there are a lot of artists in NEOhio who are not getting rich of their art but still need professional photos. That's why I created this service. What's the catch? You've gotta come to me in Akron. (If I come to you, I have to charge a bit more.) You get 10-20 images delivered digitally. Everything is done within a week. That's it! Simple! These are perfect for kiddos, those in community theater, anyone new to the head shot game, or just anyone who needs a quick photoshoot. I can also come to your business and do head shots for your employees. Book now! I'm not always around!

Weathervane Playhouse presents "Hairspray"
by Fred Gloor via NEohioPAL 06 Jun '17

06 Jun '17

Weathervane Playhouse presents the multi-Tony Award-winning Hairspray. "You Can't Stop the Beat" in this delightful story of dancing, romance, and social justice. AKRON - The 1950s are out, and change is in the air! Hairspray, the winner of eight Tony Awards, including Best Musical, makes its way to the Weathervane stage June 8 through July 2. This family-friendly musical is piled bouffant-high with laughter, romance, and deliriously tuneful songs. It's 1962 in Baltimore, and the lovable plus-size teen, Tracy Turnblad, has only one desire - to dance on the popular Corny Collins Show. When her dream comes true, Tracy is transformed from social outcast to sudden star. She must use her newfound power to dethrone the reigning Teen Queen, win the affections of heartthrob, Link Larkin, and integrate a TV network... all without denting her 'do! Hairspray runs Thursdays through Saturdays at 7:30 p.m. and Sundays at 2:30 p.m. Tickets are $22 - $26 and are available by calling 330-836-2626 or going to www.weathervaneplayhouse.com<http://www.weathervaneplayhouse.com/> Director Marissa Leenaarts says "Hairspray still holds relevance in today's society. Laugh, sing, and tap your feet through this upbeat fast-paced show, but take this lesson away - we as an audience must always continue to strive for acceptance of all people. Together, we can do so much more to overcome what has divided us in the past. YOU can't stop the beat!" Weathervane Playhouse's production of Hairspray is sponsored by a generous donation from the Akron/Summit Convention and Visitors Bureau.
