Anyone looking to part with restaurant furniture, specifically booth-style seating or high tops? I'm working to spruce up the cafe area of Tech Hub Hudson <http://www.techhubhudson.com/en>, and we'd love some furniture with a story. Perhaps something that was used in a show at your theatre, or that used to be in a cool local restaurant, that sort of thing. Email me at kelsey(a)techhubhudson.com. Thank you!

Lakeland seeks Costume Designer for Merrily We Roll Along
by Martin Friedman via NEohioPAL 01 Aug '17

01 Aug '17

*Lakeland Civic Theatre* *Seeks a **Costume Designer* *for* *Merrily We Roll Along* Music and Lyrics by *Stephen Sondheim* Book by *George Furth* Directed by *Martin Friedman* Musical Direction by *Jordan Cooper* Sound Designed by *Eric Simna* Choreography by *Jennifer Justice* *The Position:* You will work with a grand group of designers and artists if you accept this position. This is a paid position and while the costume shop is not *ideal*, there is a shop and you will have an assistant. The play opens on February 2 and runs for three weekends until February 18, 2018. You will be required to clean whatever garments are necessary. Finally, and most importantly, you would be a part of a team creating a piece of art for a beautiful and important play. *The Play:* *Merrily We Roll Along, *written in 1981, is based on a 1934 play by George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart. The musical (with a book by George Furth) was first produced in November of 1981, where it ran for 17 performances. Not very successful eh? It tells of the disintegration of the friendship of successful songwriter Franklin Shepard, his lyricist and best friend Charlie Kringas, and novelist Mary Flynn. The action moves backward through time, from 1976 to 1957. This is one of Stephen Sondheim’s most accessible and difficult scores. It is most certainly about friendship and its importance in the lives of three people. This show has great personal meaning to me. And while the book is problematic; I am confident that our production team and the actors that are cast can overcome this. This is one great play. And the roles; did I mention the roles? Each one of these six folks are wonderful roles with fully realized characterizations and motivations. It will take special actors/singers to breathe life into these people. *The Roles:* *Frank:* *Mid to late 30’s. Male. Piano playing experience is a bonus**. Range: A2 –Bb4.* *Charlie: **Mid to late 30’s. Male. ** Range: A#2- G#4.* *Mary:* *Mid to late 30’s. Female. ** Range: G3-Gb5.* *Beth: **Mid to late 30’s. Female. ** Range: A3-G5.* *Joe:* *Mid to late 40’s. Male. **Range: A2-F#4.* *Gussie: **Early 30’s. Female. ** Range: G3-C5.* *The ENSEMBLE**: 6-8 individuals (male and female) that will play a multitude of characters and will have much to sing. Mid 20’s to mid 40’s. This is not a chopped liver ensemble.* *Production and Rehearsal Dates:* *Merrily We Roll Along **will open on Friday, February 2, 2018 and run through February 18, 2018. There will be nine (9) shows; that is three (3) weeks of performances. There will be two performances at a Nighttown on Monday, January 8 and Monday January 23. Rehearsals will begin in early November based upon your schedules. Rehearsals will be regularly scheduled beginning on January 2 and will run Monday thru Sundays according to your schedules. * For more information please feel free to contact me, Martin Friedman at martinfriedman98(a)gmail.com or at 216/233-5441. Please also feel free to contact Jordan Cooper at jcooper27(a)me.com.
