TONIGHT - Calling Actors for Manhattan Project Meet & Greet
by Manhattan Project via NEohioPAL 12 Sep '17

12 Sep '17

Between 1942 and 1945, J. Robert Oppenheimer gathered the most brilliant minds of the age at Los Alamos, New Mexico to create something awesome and terrible. The Manhattan Project - Cleveland Lab seeks to do the same for the Cleveland stage. Break Time is Over, Slackers!We at Manhattan Project <http://facebook.us8.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=24718b1d6d5f7c398165fdc7…> hope you enjoyed your summer, now it's time to get off our asses and back to work. We're gearing up to present four brand new, awesome and terrible plays by Cleveland playwrights Brooke Suraba, Kevin Latimer, Angelo Maneage, and Dan Riordan. We need some awesome actors to help create these new plays!. Meet & Greet <http://facebook.us8.list-manage.com/track/click?u=24718b1d6d5f7c398165fdc7b…> will be at 8:00pm, TONIGHT (September 12) at Mahall's 20 Lanes <http://facebook.us8.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=24718b1d6d5f7c398165fdc7…> in Lakewood <http://facebook.us8.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=24718b1d6d5f7c398165fdc7…> . Performance <http://facebook.us8.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=24718b1d6d5f7c398165fdc7…> will be 8:00pm, October 17. We hope to see you all there! What exactly is The Manhattan Project - Cleveland Lab? The Manhattan Project is a low-stakes, nonthreatening place for actors and playwrights to meet and work together. Based on the Theatre Lab model taught at the Carnegie Mellon School of Drama and inspired by The Brooklyn Generator in New York, The Manhattan Project wants to introduce Cleveland actors and playwrights to each other by organizing a bi-monthly production of brand new 10-minute plays. Participating artists will meet early in the month and will be broken into teams, each with one playwright. The playwright will then be given a writing prompt to write a new 10-minute play based on the prompt and including all the team's actors. The rest of the evening the team members will get to know each other and get a feel for each other's skills and voices. The teams will reconvene later in the month to perform these plays for each other. These 10-minute plays are not an end in themselves. Through these small collaborations we hope to build relationships between the two most vulnerable artists in theatre; the actors who put themselves on stage and the playwrights who pour themselves onto the page. Perhaps these 10-minute plays will grow into longer works or maybe these collaborations will become partnerships on larger projects. If you'd like to participate, please RSVP at TrinityCrater(a)gmail.com or introduce yourself at out next event. *Some additional notes on the play lab:* - In the spirit of shoe-string theatre, these 10-minute plays should have a budget of $0.00. - Playwrights will be directing the plays, or an actor from the team can volunteer to do so. - It's up to each team to schedule rehearsals together. Based on experience, it shouldn't take more than 3-4 hours of rehearsal time to get these plays on their feet. - Playwrights are invited in advance of the Meet & Greet. - *Playwrights are invited based on participation in past Manhattan Project events, so please come to our events so we can get to know you!*

*Olde Towne Hall Theatre’s 38th Season* Our Season Opener…*WITHOUT A CLUE* This hilarious, new mystery/comedy by Breianne Knight Saylor is being directed by veteran director, John Schneider. *Justin Tyme has a problem. It's not that his name is confusing. It's not that the hotel he owns is falling apart. It's not that a thunderstorm has trapped all of his guests together. And it's not that his guests include a wannabe rock star, a bumbling detective, a neurotic girl who faints at everything, or a weirdo in a cape. His problem is that there is a dead guy in room five and one of his guests is a killer. And when a building inspector arrives ready to condemn his hotel, he's going to have to get away with murder.* *Come join us at the Falcon Inn! We hope you survive your stay. You may die… of laughter.* Friday Sept. 29 at 7:30 p.m. *TICKETS* Saturday Sept. 30 at 7:30 p.m. Adults $12 Seniors/Children under 12 $10 Friday Oct. 6 at 7:30 p.m. Saturday Oct. 7 at 7:30 p.m. *Call 440-327-2909 <(440)%20327-2909> for Reservations* Sunday Oct. 8 at 3:00 36199 Center Ridge Rd.

What happens when the cast of a popular 1950’s TV show reunite? A look back at a kinder, gentler time is bound to be punctuated with a little murder …and a whole lot of laughs! *The cast of the 50’s TV sitcom, “Make Way For Winky,” is on a reunion tour and makes an appearance in your town. They are being interviewed by local TV host, Barry “The Hatchet” West, who’s had some recent emotional problems. When an audience member is suddenly murdered, Barry’s alter-ego takes over — a tough-talking, no-nonsense private eye. He’ll lead the audience to find out who was blackmailing the members of the TV family, and why. Evidently, they’re not as wholesome and “apple pie” as they were on the tube.* Performances for the murder mystery dinner theatre are scheduled for *Friday/Saturday, November 10, 11, 17 & 18* at*Bullfrog’s Sports Café*, 33147 Center Ridge Rd.

11 Sep '17

*Bop Stop Wednesday 13th September 2017 7-9.30pm* *Carol Leslie, jazz vocalist*, is NE Ohio’s Scottish import from *Edinburgh, Scotland*. Her media introduction came when chosen out of 2,500 auditionees, she represented Scotland in the British ITV live talent show, *“Rising Stars,”* broadcast across Europe and the UK. Her introduction to BBC Radio on *“Debut,”* was met with acclaim, propelling her to perform in cabaret venues in the UK. For several years, she enjoyed a myriad of *extra* roles on British SOAPs! Since then, she has also performed in Australia, Norway, Bermuda and the USA, including an on-air interview with Cleveland’s own, Dee Perry of WCPN. After taking a hiatus from music, she is now back, better than ever, with a new repertoire to pay homage to the music greats: Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan, Cleo Laine, fellow Scots Annie Ross and Annie Lennox, Diane Schuur, Diana Krall, Lennon & McCartney, Harry Connick Jr, Ray Charles, Antonio Carlos Jobim, Mel Tormé, Roberta Flack and Layla Hathaway. Carol has performed throughout Cleveland at conventions, black tie events, and the jazz restaurant circuit, where she worked with exceptional musicians: Neal Creque, Mike Petrone, Cliff Habian, Dan Maier, Leo Coach, Dewey Jeffreys, Brad Bolton, Roy King, Aidan Plank, Skeets Ross, Gary Aprile, the Nuff Rey Orchestra, and Rich Endress Little Big Band. For *this* debut at *Bop Stop*, she is performing with international/local jazz pianist, composer and educator, *Drene Ivy*, with educator, stellar jazz bassist, *Glenn Holmes*, (both on faculty at the Music Settlement), and the hip rhythm lady herself, *Sunny Tabler*, on drums – *Wednesday, September 13, 2017, 7pm*. >From a musical family, Carol was raised to appreciate, and be influenced by, the musical contributions of Judy Garland, Sammy Davis Jr, Peggy Lee, Billie Holliday, Barbra Streisand, Shirley Bassey, Nina Simone, Tony Bennett, Frank Sinatra and Lena Horne. Each has fueled Carol’s love of the American Song Book! -- *Info: carol.leslie.jazz(a)gmail.com <carol.leslie.jazz(a)gmail.com>* *(216)-763 1806*
