Auditions for Bridges of Madison County at Western Reserve Playhouse
by Western Reserve Playhouse 26 Nov '18

26 Nov '18

*Western Reserve Playhouse Announces for* *Jason Robert Brown’s* *“Bridges of Madison County”* *Show Dates March 1-16m 2019* BREAKDOWN The Bridges of Madison County is based on Robert James Waller’s 1992 best-selling novel, and was developed by the Pulitzer- and Tony Award-winning creative team of Jason Robert Brown (The Last Five Years, Parade, Songs for a New World) and Marsha Norman (The Secret Garden, The Color Purple). This 2014 Broadway musical captures the lyrical expanse of America's heartland along with the yearning entangled in the eternal question" "What if...?" Winner of the 2014 Tony Award for Best Score and Orchestrations, this sweeping romance about the roads we travel, the doors we open and the bridges we dare to cross will leave audiences breathless. Francesca Johnson, a beautiful Italian woman who married an American soldier to flee war-ravaged Italy, looks forward to a rare four days alone on her Iowa farm when her family heads to the 1965 State Fair. When ruggedly handsome, National Geographic photographer, Robert Kincaid, pulls into her driveway seeking directions, though, what happens in those four days may very well alter the course of Francesca's life. With a soaring score and a heartbreaking story, The Bridges of Madison County is a touching and powerful addition to any theatre's season. The tour de force roles of Francesca and Robert are a dream come true for any actor, while the ensemble is rich with characters that tell their own individual stories and receive plenty of focus on stage. *Audition Dates:* *December 15, 2018 from 1-3PM* *December 17, 2018 from 6:30-8PM* *Callbacks if necessary after 8PM December 17, 2018* *Location: 3326 Everett Road, Bath, Ohio 44268* *SIGN UP AT: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/508054EADA92AA5F85-bridges <https://www.signupgenius.com/go/508054EADA92AA5F85-bridges>* *Directed By Sarah Coon * *Musical Direction by Bryan Bird and David Stebbins * Please prepare one song in the style of the show but, not from the show.

We will move through release as well as float, finding our connection to ground and space. Striving to find our movements' true weight with phrase work that will challenge our mind and body to connect and flux. Modern Lifts & Weight Sharing (Rebecca Leuszler & Irene Honora) This class will focus on the foundation of lifts and weight sharing used in Modern Dance and Contact Improvisation. Through the teachings of balancing, negotiating, and shifting weight, participants will create lifts in various group settings and explore non-traditional negotiation patterns. Yoga (Elyse Morckel) Yoga builds strength, stamina, and flexibility. Class will incorporate Vinyasa (flowing movement sequences) with slow, sustained stretches, refinement of alignment in held poses, as well as breath awareness and mental focus. Improvisation (Megan Gargano) Improvisation is an exploration of choreographic concepts used to develop unique and innovative movement vocabularies in real-time. From this base, dancers will develop movement material into spontaneous, performable dances through improvisational structures and scores. http://www.themovementproject.org/winterworkshop/ -- *Elyse Morckel* The Movement Project Company Member 330.962.9547
