Auditions for brilliant farce 'Bach at Leipzig' at Coach House!!
by JT 12 Jan '18

12 Jan '18

Auditions January 27th and 28th!! Coach House Theatre is seeking a diverse and absurd cast for the area premiere of ‘Bach at Leipzig', a hilarious farce by Itamar Moses Never heard of it? You're about to! The critics have said it's....“A fleet-footed, quick-witted, brain-teasing farce. It's a joy.” – San Francisco Chronicle “If you like super-smart silliness, be ready to laugh until your ribs are sore. A who's-on-first farce full of theatrical trickery and fizzy verbal slapstick.” – The Wall Street Journal (NOTE: Prospective diverse and absurd Stage Managers, Designers and Crews please email jtbuck(a)akronwomanscityclub.org with resume and availability.) Cast Requirements: You must be interested in playing for the fun, because our actors (at least currently) are volunteers. The production runs April 12th - 29th. If all goes well, perhaps longer. If all goes even better, perhaps shorter. Casting is open to all genders, races, religious ideologies, a wide variety of ages, and even those unusually susceptible to pollen. The Characters: JOHANN FRIEDRICH FASCH - organist and Kapellmeister at Zerbst, fifties. GEORG BALTHASAR SCHOTT - organist at the Neuekirche in Leipzig, fifties. GEORG LENCK - organist and Kantor at Laucha, late thirties. JOHANN MARTIN STEINDORFF - organist and Kantor at Zwickau, twenties. GEORG FRIEDRICH KAUFMANN - organist and Kantor at Merseburg, fifties. GEORG FRIEDRICH GRAUPNER - organist and Kapellmeister at Dramstadt, fifties. THE GREATEST ORGANIST IN GERMANY - organist and Kantor at Hamburg. The Georg's outnumber the Johann's 2 to 1! Auditions, by appointment: 11 am – 1pm. Saturday, January 27th 6pm-8pm. Sunday, January 28th Auditions will consist of 'cold' readings from the script. The colder, the better. To schedule, please sign up online at: http://www.signupgenius.com/go /508084facaf2aa6ff2-auditions Coach House Theatre is located 732 W. Exchange Street in Akron. In a very nice, old garage behind a very nice old mansion. Callbacks, only if needed, will be scheduled based on auditioner’s availability. About the Play: Leipzig, Germany — 1722. The top music gig in all of Germany is up for grabs. In an age where musicians depend on patronage from the nobility or the church, the post at a prominent church in a cultured city is a near guarantee of fame and fortune -which is why some of the candidates are willing to resort to any lengths to secure it. And we mean ANY. Featuring dazzling wordplay, a requisite number of doorslams, chases and hiding behind doors, and of course the glorious music of you-know-who.....BACH AT LEIPZIG is a fugue-like farcical web of bribery, blackmail, and betrayal set against the backdrop of Enlightenment questions about humanity, God, and art.

Review of touring "Love Never Dies" at Playhouse Square
by Bob Abelman 12 Jan '18

12 Jan '18

Touring ‘Love Never Dies’ puts the see in sequel Bob Abelman Cleveland Jewish News, The News Herald, The Morning Journal Member, International Association of Theatre Critics Tortured. Anguished. Frustrated. This describes the dark, twisted title character at the heart of “Phantom of the Opera,” the longest-running musical in Broadway history and a production seen by over 130 million people worldwide. But it also describes playwright/composer Andrew Lloyd Webber during the turbulent process of revising and remounting that show’s sequel “Love Never Dies,” which opened to poor reviews in London’s West End, was revisited before an engagement in Melbourne, Australia and further fine-tuned in Hamburg, Germany before beginning its 25-city U.S. tour this past October. The new musical, like the original love affair between Christine Daaé and her Angel of Music, The Phantom, was passionate but incomplete. It’s complete now, leaving the opening night Playhouse Square audience anything but tortured or anguished, though some faithful fans may well be a tad frustrated by the direction this sequel has taken.
