Live Music + Wine Pairing in Cleveland Hts Wednesday@7:30pm
by Malina Rauschenfels 20 Mar '18

20 Mar '18

Wednesday, March 21st, 2018 ~ 7:30-9pm *A Pastiche of European Wine and Music Pairings* The Wine Spot 2271 Lee Rd Cleveland Hts, OH 44118 Pay what you can (wine purchases not included) Malina Rauschenfels, soprano Paula Maust, harpsichord With guest artists: Sarah Elizabeth Cranor, baroque violin Reynaldo Patiño, baroque violin Jessica Korotkin, baroque cello *Burning River Baroque presents:* *Suppressed Voices: Music of the Banished* Music has long offered a space for outsiders to find a voice, and classical composers have often been at the forefront of political and social change. Suppressed Voices is a compelling program that showcases characters and composers who were banished from their homelands. From the character of Agrippina, a political exile in G.F. Handel’s cantata, to composers like Johann Rosenmüller, Evaristo Felice dall’Abaco, and Peter Philips who were forced to flee their homelands for various social, political, and religious reasons, this program will challenge audiences’ expectations and highlight the accomplishments of those who overcame great adversity.

CALLING ACTORS - MANHATTAN PROJECT MEET & GREET
by Manhattan Project 20 Mar '18

20 Mar '18

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. Wake Up, Sheeple! There are terrible shadowy forces at work trying to institute a New World Order meant to put put us all in chains, and The Manhattan Project <https://facebook.us8.list-manage.com/track/click?u=24718b1d6d5f7c398165fdc7…> refuses to be left out. We've embeded ourselves deep inside *The System* and we're ready to tear it down...or protect it at all costs. We're not sure; the conspiracy confuses us, but it's so juicy we still want to be a part of it! We're dropping chemtrails <https://facebook.us8.list-manage.com/track/click?u=24718b1d6d5f7c398165fdc7…> over your neighborhoods, we're turning the frogs gay <https://facebook.us8.list-manage.com/track/click?u=24718b1d6d5f7c398165fdc7…>, we're sneaking satanic messages into your kids' music <https://facebook.us8.list-manage.com/track/click?u=24718b1d6d5f7c398165fdc7…>, and we're producing brand new 10-minute plays to brainwash our audience into complacency. This month we're conspiring with local playwrights *Val Kozlenko*, *Amanda VanAllen*, *Travis Plats*, Krysia Orlowski, and *Kevin Latimer*. We need dastardly, disreputable actors to join our nefarious cause! Our Meet & Greet <https://facebook.us8.list-manage.com/track/click?u=24718b1d6d5f7c398165fdc7…> will be NEXT WEEK, March 27 at 8:00pm at Mahall's 20 Lanes <https://facebook.us8.list-manage.com/track/click?u=24718b1d6d5f7c398165fdc7…> in Lakewood <https://facebook.us8.list-manage.com/track/click?u=24718b1d6d5f7c398165fdc7…> . The Performance <https://facebook.us8.list-manage.com/track/click?u=24718b1d6d5f7c398165fdc7…>will be Wednesday, April 25 at 8:00pm. We hope to see you there, but if we don't...well, we already see you anyway. 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!*

casting call
by Jeff Polen 20 Mar '18

20 Mar '18

Looking for actors for a corporate internal use only ethics video. Video will be shot in Akron, during normal business hours and weekday TBD. Anticipating 2 hours of work, offering rate of $250 per role. Please submit a video audition. Cell phone video will be great. Send link to auditions, wetransfer.com is a great service for sending files. Need to cast the following: John -male associate, in 30's. Jane - co-worker, female, 30's - 40's. Cindy - Johns supervisor, female, 30's - 50's Scene in office setting, John has just returned from a lunch with a Korean supplier. JANE: How did the supplier meeting go? JOHN: It was good. Really productive. I think we're going to be able to achieve our pricing and sourcing volume goals for next year. They were all really nice. They gave me this Korean tea box at the end of our lunch. I think that's okay under our policies, right? JANE: Probably. Food and cultural items valued at under $100 are fine under our policy - but because we are in Purchasing, you need to make sure you log the item into the Gift and Entertainment tracker that I showed you during your onboarding meeting. JOHN: Ok. I'll definitely do that. But I don't even like tea - do you want this? JANE: Why don't you set it out for everyone to share? You know, I spent some time in South Korea at my old job, and became somewhat of a tea connoisseur. The tea ceremony is a big deal in Korea. Sometimes there is information about the specific teas in the bottom of the box, including a history of how they were made. Hope there's some Goji in there...that's my favorite. JOHN: (looking at bottom of box) Huh. What's this? It looks like it's about $1,000 dollars in South Korean Won. JANE: Whoa. That's not been a part of any tea ceremony I've been to. JOHN: No kidding. I don't think I should be accepting this. JANE: Absolutely - not only are cash gifts 100% unacceptable, but this looks like they are seeking to influence the negotiations. JOHN: Not to mention that this is way over $100. Guess we'd better record this. If I had known that this was in here, I definitely wouldn't have accepted this! What else should I do? JANE: Don't worry. This is not your fault. You'll record it and we should discuss it with your manager, Cindy, and Legal. JANE: Hi Cindy. John has run into an interesting situation. CINDY: Hi Jane. Hi, John. Nice to see you. JOHN: Well, I was out to lunch today with Purple Dog Carbon Black's VP of Sales, Min-Jun and their sales director and they gave me this lovely tea box. However, when we got back and I was showing Jane the box and teas, I found an envelope of cash worth $1,000 US dollars in the bottom of the box. I didn't know it was there when I accepted the box. What do we do now? CINDY: Oh, wow. Let me have a look. CINDY: Yikes. This is an issue on so many levels, including the gift/entertainment policy and the conflicts of interest policy. First, did you record the gift in the Tracker? JOHN: Yes. CINDY: Terrific, you did the right thing by bringing this to my attention. Obviously, you can't keep this gift, but I'll take it from here and go see the lawyers to discuss how we respond to Purple Dog. No phone calls PLEASE! Email questions, audition video or links to: Jeff Polen Jeff_polen(a)goodyear.com<mailto:Jeff_polen@goodyear.com> Thanks and good luck!!
