Case Western Reserve University Department of Dance presents MaDaCol
by Meredith Bruch 25 Nov '18

25 Nov '18

MaDaCol The Department of Dance at Case Western Reserve University is pleased to announce this fall’s production of MaDaCol (Mather Dance Collective) presented on November 29 and 30 at 8:00 p.m. and December 1 at 7:00 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. Performances will feature new dance works by graduate students Brandon Gregoire, Yizhen Hu, and Yuting Zhao. MaDaCol, one of the university’s oldest undergraduate student organizations, offers an important creative outlet for CWRU graduate and undergraduate students, faculty, staff and the greater Cleveland community members. About the Works: Brandon Gregoire, a second-year graduate student, premieres Down & Through for 19 dancers. The work examines a physical representation of how people internalize an array of pain, struggle, and grief. Emotional boundaries are personified through the dancers’ bodily contact with one another leaving the viewer as a witness to the relief and release experienced when there is nowhere left to go, but up. Metro Life, choreographed by second-year graduate student Yuting Zhao, draws inspiration from the daily commute on a subway in big cities. When dozens of random people are confined in a small carriage, their bodies touch, but their minds are far apart. To music by David Heath, this piece asks: with all the disturbances in the modern world, can we still 'see' the human being beside us? Third-year graduate student Yizhen Hu makes use of the music by Meredith Monk and Katie Geissinger in her latest work for MaDaCol.. Inevitable explores the emotional experiences of death and loss. Hu investigates the struggles of grief and the frustrations of helplessness, along with the realization of the unavoidable mortality of human life. Tickets and Location: All performances take place at Mather Dance Center located at 11201 Bellflower Road, on the Case Western Reserve University campus. All tickets are $7 and may be purchased at Mather Dance Center prior to each performance. Cash or check only is accepted upon purchase. Early arrival is suggested due to limited seating. No reservations and no advance sales will be made. For more information, please visit dance.case.edu.

$10.00 Holiday Variety Show, Thursday, November 29th!
by reneede＠sbcglobal.net 25 Nov '18

25 Nov '18

Snowed Inn Holiday Variety Show kicks off the Christmas season with a hearty dose of laughter, music, and good spirits on Thursday, November 29 at Forest City Brewery. Created by co-writers and co-hosts Marissa DeSantis and James Catullo, the original show pays homage to classic television specials of the past. “Stars like Bing Crosby and John Denver hosted holiday specials where all of their talented friends would visit them in a cozy, decorated Christmas house,” says DeSantis. “Our show will have the same warm, spirited vibe.” In the show, DeSantis and Catullo find themselves stranded in their Ohio mountain vacation cabin thanks to an unexpected winter storm. When they aren’t able to make it home for Christmas, their talented friends show up and bring the holiday to them. Snowed Inn features guest performances by comedians Dionne Atchison and Sam Dee, and music from singer-songwriter Stephanie Trivison. The show includes a baking demonstration from Becca Ritterspach of Save Room Catering, and a crafts segment with Lora DiFranco of Free Period Press. “We wanted the show to have a real variety feel with the types of segments you would see on TV but not necessarily on other Northeast Ohio stages,” says Catullo. “We’re excited for the group of guests we’ve got, and we might be saving a surprise or two as well.” Tickets for the all-ages Snowed Inn Holiday Variety Show are available for $10 at the door. WHAT: Snowed Inn Holiday Variety Show WHERE: Forest City Brewery 2135 Columbus Road, Cleveland, OH 44113 WHEN: Thursday, November 29, 7:00PM EVENT SITE: https://www.facebook.com/events/263351011051336/

ADDITIONAL AUDITIONS: FREAKY FRIDAY: December 1
by Martin Friedman 24 Nov '18

24 Nov '18

*Lakeland Civic Theatre * *Additional Auditions: SATURDAY, December 1* *1:00 to 3:00 pm* * for * *Freaky Friday* Book by *Bridget Carpenter* Music by *Tom Kitt* Lyrics by *Brian Yorkey* Directed by *Martin Friedman* Musical Direction by *Matthew Dolan* Sound Designed by *Eric Simna * Lighting Designed by *Marcus Dana* Costumes Designed by *Kelsey Tomlinson * *We are seeking men and women, boys and girls of various ages and ethnicities. * *The Play: Instead of an almost slap-stick story about a mother and daughter exchanging minds and coming to grips with the change of bodies; the new musical instead takes on something more important; body shaming, the trials and tribulations of being a high school student and most importantly, love between parents and children. I found the story down-right profound and the music wonderful. Based on the beloved 1972 novel by Mary Rodgers, FREAKY FRIDAY features a book by Bridget Carpenter, and music and lyrics by Tom Kitt and Brian Yorkey - the Pulitzer Prize-winning composers of Next to Normal and If/Then. * *Audition Information and Dates: **Auditions will take place on Saturday, December 1,between 1:00pm and 3:00pm, in Room D1078 (the Music Room) in Building “D” on the campus of Lakeland Community College. This is the same building as the Performing Arts Center. This is an open audition. Please bring a 16 to 32 bar cut in the style of the show. The process is this: we will have you sing your song and then will give you a side from the play to read. I will try to expedite the auditions as quickly as humanly possible. We will have callbacks only if necessary. All roles are paid except if you are under 18 years of age; sorry. Sorry, no Equity Contracts. * *Production and Rehearsal Dates: Freaky Friday **will open on Friday, February 1 and run through Sunday, February 17, 2019. There will be nine (9) shows; that is THREE (3) weeks of performances. We will begin rehearsals in earnest on January 3. Rehearsals will most probably run seven days a week with the Saturday and Sunday rehearsals during the day and the weekday rehearsals beginning at 7:00pm. You will only be called when needed.* *THE ROLES.* *I plan to have a cast of 15 to 17.
