Actresses and Actors Needed for Improv Heavy Show
by Myrissa Yokie 15 Mar '18

15 Mar '18

We are looking for several actresses and actors of all ages with improv skills. You don't necessarily need to have done improv in the past but it will be a big part of the show and you will have to show aptitude for it in your audition. A little about the event itself: This is a murder mystery dinner theater fundraiser for the M.S. Society. The show will be performed May 6th at the Eagles Club in Mentor Ohio. The rehearsal schedule and location will depend on the cast. Rehearsals will run throughout the entire month of April and be located in East Lake or farther east to Geneva. Again, depending on cast members availability. It is non paying as all the profits go to the MS Society. It is a great cause. The show is themed around a family reunion. The cast will all be performing various rolls of fanily members in several skits that culminate in a murder which the audience will solve. Many of the actresses and actors will be portraying several characters. There will be a HIGH amount of audience interaction so you must not be afraid to engage with people. We are a fun and easy group to work with. Auditions will be held by appointment March 29 & 30 from 4-6 in East Lake. If you can't make these dates but are interested in auditioning, please contact us and we will try to work something out. For more information, questions, or to set up an audition please contact Myrissa Yokie at somekidsproduction(a)hotmail.com Get Outlook for Android<https://aka.ms/ghei36>

FREE STUDENT TICKET THURSDAYS
by Clague Playhouse News 15 Mar '18

15 Mar '18

*FREE STUDENT TICKET THURSDAYS: * limited FREE Student Tickets (high school and college) are available by calling the Clague Playhouse Box Office at 440-331-0403 <%28440%29%20331-0403> to reserve for any 8 p.m. Thursday night performance. No online reservations can be taken for these free tickets. Free Student Ticket Thursdays are subject to availability and must be picked up by 7:30 pm the night of the performance or will be released. Currently playing: *Silent Sky* *by Lauren Gunderson* * directed by Curt Arnold * *Our Cast:* *Brittany Gaul* as Henrietta Leavitt *Jill Kenderes* as Margaret Leavitt *Andrew Keller* as Peter Shaw *Pam Matthews* as Annie Cannon *Molly Clay* as Williamina Fleming *Silent Sky* presents the real-life story of Henrietta Leavitt and her co-workers at the Harvard Observatory in the early 20th Century. She and the ladies of her department were “computers” for the male astronomers, doing important research, measurements, and calculations for the men, but getting no credit for their work nor access to Harvard’s telescope, “The Great Refractor.” However, Henrietta and her contemporaries Annie Cannon and Williamina Fleming went on to gain access to the telescope and to make important discoveries of their own. Showing some of the roots of feminism in the United States, the play is ideal for Women’s History Month. These ladies’ stories are similar to others throughout American history, including the “code girls” who deciphered enemy messages during World War II and the female NASA employees, also called “computers,” in the early space program (depicted in the award-winning film “Hidden Figures”). Annie Cannon also became a dedicated suffragette, marching for women’s voting rights. The theme of seeking our place in the universe should appeal to anyone who has stood in the backyard at midnight, looking up at the stars and wondering what’s “out there”! Performances on Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 8pm, Sunday at 2pm through March 31. Tickets are $16 for adults, $15 for seniors (60+), and $10 for students (any age with a valid ID) and may be purchased by calling the Box Office or visiting our website: www.clagueplayhouse.org. -- Clague Playhouse 1371 Clague Rd.

Written by Rick Abbot and directed by Richard Todd,this is the story of a theatregroup trying desperately to put on a play in spite of maddening interferencefrom a haughty author who keeps revising the script.

Whenthe author decides to give a speech on the state of the modern theatre duringthe curtain calls, the audience is treated to a madcap climax to a thoroughlyhilarious romp.

by bryan＠richcole.net 15 Mar '18

15 Mar '18

NCMC PRESENTS MAUREEN MCGOVERN KEYBANK STATE THEATRE AT PLAYHOUSE SQUARE SATURDAY, MARCH 24 - 8:00 PM Broadway and Recording Artist Maureen McGovern is joining the North Coast Men's Chorus to celebrate our 30th Anniversary. NCMC will start the evening off and then Maureen will thrill you with some of her favorite songs, joined by the men of NCMC on several selections! Gaining fame for cinematic themes like Oscar-winners, "The Morning After" and "We May Never Love Like This Again", Maureen has continued to dazzle with a 45 year career of recordings, concerts, theater, film, television, radio and songwriting. Purchase tickets http://www.playhousesquare.org/events/detail/north-coast-mens-chorus-presen… or call the Playhouse Square Ticket Office at (866) 546-1353. Multi-Grammy nominee, Broadway and Recording artist, MAUREEN MCGOVERN continues to thrill audiences with a voice that defies categorization. Known as /“THE STRADIVARIUS VOICE,”/ McGovern’s career includes more than 45 years of recordings, concerts, theater, film, television, radio and songwriting. Maureen’s #1 Oscar-winning International Gold Record, “THE MORNING AFTER” from THE POSEIDON ADVENTURE, garnered her first Grammy nomination for “Best New Artist,” and her solo album THE PLEASURE OF HIS COMPANY, with Emmy/Grammy-winning, jazz pianist, Mike Renzi, earned her second Grammy nomination for “Best Traditional Pop Vocal.” She was also a featured guest artist on the Grammy Award-winning SONGS FROM THE NEIGHBORHOOD: THE MUSIC OF MISTER ROGERS. Other hits include, “CAN YOU READ MY MIND” from SUPERMAN, the Oscar-winning “WE MAY NEVER LOVE LIKE THIS AGAIN” from THE TOWERING INFERNO and “DIFFERENT WORLDS” from the TV series ANGIE. In addition to hearing her music in films and television, McGovern played the role of “Sr. Angelina” in the iconic comedy films AIRPLANE! and AIRPLANE II: THE SEQUEL and “Rachel” in JOSEPH: KING OF DREAMS with Ben Affleck. Maureen made her Broadway debut in 1981 as “Mabel” in /THE PIRATES OF PENZANCE,/ and went on to star as “Luisa” in /NINE/ and “Polly Peachum” in /3 PENNY OPERA/ with Sting. In 2005 she was nominated for a Drama Desk Award for her role as “Marmee” in /LITTLE WOMEN, THE MUSICAL/ on Broadway. She reprised her role as “Marmee” in the 1st National Tour of /LITTLE WOMEN/ and starred as “Anna” in the Broadway Revival Tour of /THE KING AND I./ In addition, Maureen has performed in numerous regional theater productions including /THE LION IN WINTER, DEAR WORLD, OF THEE I SING, GUYS AND DOLLS/ and her one-woman musical memoir, /CARRY IT ON,/ among others. Her recent PS Classics CD, A LONG AND WINDING ROAD, has been praised by /The New York Times/ as “…a captivating musical scrapbook from the 1960’s to the early 70’s. Ms. McGovern’s vocal technique is second to none.” Maureen’s current release, YOU RAISE ME UP – A SPIRITUAL JOURNEY, is an intimate yet powerful recording. McGovern says, “We are all a part of something much greater than ourselves and connected to each other soul to soul. Listen with your heart.” For 35 years, Maureen has served the Muscular Dystrophy Association as a volunteer, performer, Board Member, Vice President, and Chairperson of the record-breaking Shamrocks Against Dystrophy Campaign and NYC Telethon Co-Host for 6 years. She supports Music Therapy and has been an Artist Spokesperson for the American Music Therapy Association since 2001. She is currently a Board Member of Medicine and the Arts/Humanism in Medicine at the Ohio State University College of Medicine. “What raises McGovern above most other artists in her stylistic arena is her unique combination of a natural vocal ability, knowledgeable musicality and an amiable manner…a world class vocal artist.”– /Los Angeles Times/
