"bare: A Pop Opera" Auditions at Western Reserve Playhouse!
by B W 18 Mar '18

18 Mar '18

Directed by Co-Artistic Director Brian Westerley Choreography by Kristy Cruz Book & Music: Damon Intrabartolo Book & Lyrics: Jon Hartmere Performance Dates: July 13-28. Fridays & Saturdays at 8PM; Sunday at 6:30PM Rehearsals will start on or around May 29th. A pulsating, electric contemporary rock musical, bare follows a group of students at a Catholic boarding school as they grapple with issues of sexuality, identity, and the future. Peter and Jason have fallen in love with each other, but Jason -- a popular athlete -- fears losing his status if he is discovered to be gay. Unpopular Nadia, Jason’s sister, is contemptuous of Ivy, a beautiful girl with a questionable reputation. As the group attempts to put up a production of Romeo and Juliet, tensions flare, self-doubt simmers, and God’s path seems more difficult to find than ever. bare rings with the sounds of youthful repression and revolt. With a unique sung-through pop score, heart-pounding lyrics, and a cast of bright young characters, bare is a provocative, fresh, and utterly honest look at the dangers of baring your soul, and the consequences of continuing to hide. ALL ETHNICITIES & GENDER INDENTITIES ARE ENCOURAGED TO AUDITION Please prepare a song in the style of the show, BUT NOT FROM THE SHOW. Auditions will also consist of cold readings from the script. Be prepared to move, as well. Pease bring a resume & headshot with you to the audition. Callbacks, if necessary, will be held Tuesday, April 17 at 7PM.

by B W 18 Mar '18

18 Mar '18

Western Reserve Playhouse continues its successful 2018 season by presenting the Regional Premiere of Tomorrow Morning by Laurence Mark Wythe, which will close its run March 23 & 24. Tomorrow Morning is an hilarious and moving show that appeals to different generations: Anyone who has ever been in a relationship, anyone who has had one end when they thought it would last forever and anyone who has ever contemplated sharing their life with someone else. Two couples are separated by a span of time. Jack and Catherine, who are in their late 30s, are getting divorced. John and Kat, who are in their 20s, are getting married. On the eve of their wedding, Kat finds out that she is pregnant. When she informs John, he walks out on her. Catherine and Jack argue about their divorce settlement. Adam, their 10-year-old son, disappears, sending Catherine & Jack into hysterics. The show premiered in London in 2006 at the New End Theatre and was later presented at Victory Gardens Greenhouse Theater in Chicago in 2008. An Australian production of the show opened in Melbourne in September of 2010 at the Treble Clef Jazz Lounge. An Off-Broadway production began a limited run at the York Theatre in New York City in March of 2011, closing a month later. Ian Atwood directs this show, with musical direction by Bryan Bird. The cast stars well-known local actors Michael Snider, Dawn Sniadak-Yamokoski, Madeline Krucek & Tony Heffner. Show Times: 8PM Friday & Saturday Tickets: $17.00 Adults; $15.00 Seniors & Students To reserve tickets, please visit our website: www.westernreserveplayhouse.org<http://www.westernreserveplayhouse.org> The venue is located at 3326 Everett Rd., Bath, OH 44286

Berko review: THE LATE HENRY MOSS @ none too fragle
by Roy Berko 18 Mar '18

18 Mar '18

*•••••••••••••••••••••••••••* *Capsule judgment: As in almost all Sam Shepard blunt, hard hitting plays, the questions of what’s true, what’s fiction, what is family history and what is mythology pervade this tale of dysfunctional relationships in this character-driven tale. The acting is generally superb, the pace intense, and the over-all effect is unnerving. If you like good acting and can endure Shepard’s cage-boxing style of writing, this is a production you won’t want to miss.* *To read the entire review go to: **www.royberko.info* <http://www.royberko.info>* to read the capsule judgements of the other Cleveland reviewers go to: **www.clevelandtheaterreviews.com* <http://www.clevelandtheaterreviews.com> *••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••*
