Ibsen’s 1870s classic reshaped through a 1937 adaptation by American master Thornton Wilder takes audiences on a suspenseful ride to the edge of a gaping precipice of personal discovery that has a potential gain so great, that even a mother’s love and a wife’s duty can be swayed to sacrifice.

Auditions for upcoming reading.
by CRAIG WEBB via NEohioPAL 04 Jul '17

04 Jul '17

I am looking for two male actors for the lightly-reheared reading of my play, ELBOW ROOM at the Playwrights Local New Play Festival on Saturday Sept. 23rd. They should be capable of upper class British and lower class Cockney accents. (think Henry Higgins from My Fair Lady and Bert the Chimney Sweep from Mary Poppins.) It wouldn't hurt if they resembled Peter Cushing and Peter Boyle respectively. The play is a Halloween, one-act comedy (Waiting For Godot with Victorian Serial Killers) They could probably take part in other readings as a number will be done the same night. Send an email to burningriver(a)msn.com<mailto:burningriver@msn.com> & I'll arrange scripts and auditions. Since Early Years Craig A. Webb burningriver(a)msn.com<mailto:burningriver@msn.com>

ABOUT MICHAEL by Peter Anthony Fields
by Peter Fields via NEohioPAL 04 Jul '17

04 Jul '17

Happy July 4th, fellow NeoPals! I just wanted to inform you that the video of my short one-act stage play, "About Michael", has just been released (at present, exclusively on Facebook through Sky Blue Theatre Co.). You can view it on my Facebook page @ www.facebook.com/peteranthonyfields/ The video was made on April 7, 2017, when About Michael made its European debut at the Off-West End theatre, LOST Theatre, in London, U.K. as a selection of the "British Theatre Challenge 2017: Act 2", produced by Sky Blue Theatre Company. About Michael was awarded the Second Place Audience Appreciation Award. The London production was directed by John Mitton and featured actors David Eaton (Marcus Stressel), Anthonia Bourdillon (Kathy Pope), Yvette Bruin (Susan Jackson), Simon Fox (Dr. Doug Wright) and Jasper Jamin Norris (Michael Janson). An early version of About Michael premiered as a part of the Student Theatre Festival at Kent State University in Kent, Ohio, USA on April 8 - 10, 2016 in the E.Z. Black Box Theatre. The production was coordinated & advised by Dr. Daniel Nadon, Paul Floriano, Heather Sinclair and Eric van Baars. The play was directed by Theatre Studies major Courtney Kennell and featured student actors David Wise (Marcus), Heidi Holmwood (Susan), Kevin Sigler (Michael), Meredith Aistrope (Kathy), and Yannik Carstensen (Dr. Wright). ABOUT MICHAEL *Play Summary:* A first year high school English teacher meets with the school administrators for his mid- term job evaluation, only to discover that the evaluation is actually an interrogation. Thank you for reading. Sincerely, Peter Fields (a.k.a., Peter Gould) *Playwright*
