Audition for Short Films and Videos at Tri-C
by B.R. Tatalovic, producer 07 Mar '18

07 Mar '18

Attention Beginner and Intermediate Level Actors - it's Time to Audition ! YOU'RE AUDITIONING FOR: Cuyahoga Community College's beginner level film and video students - who are about to produce several short projects (entry-level music videos, commercials, drama monologues, and ultra-short narrative films). See some SAMPLES of previously created content further down on this page. This is an "Intro to Filmmaking" class, taught by Prof. Bruno Tatalovic. Several students who completed this course in previous years – are now proud graduates of Tri-C, and newly established Cleveland film artists, videographers, and PAs on big union films shot in Ohio! :) WHEN: March 23 (Fri), any time between 9:15am and 1pm. WHERE: Tri-C Campus in Parma (11000 W Pleasant Valley rd), room C123. WHO SHOULD COME: This type of collaboration is perfect for beginner (or intermediate) level actors who need more footage for their first demo-reel. Each of these projects feature 1-2 actors only, and gives you a lot of screen time and dialogue or monologue lines. These are unpaid (volunteer / collaborate) productions. Get your first credit, your acting demo, and establish new relationships with like-minded content creators. Also, if you have NO screen acting experience, but you truly BELIEVE that you have what it takes - COME and try out! PROJECTS TIMELINE: These projects are 1 day (half a day) productions, sometimes in March-April (based on actors' availability). The students must complete their video editing by early May. The videos will be available online, and actors will receive their HD copy, and proper name-credits as well. AUDITION: It's a “walk-in” audition (cold read from our scripts or short personal monologue - if desired). If you wish to attend, bring the following: -- headshot or any decent picture of yourself (any size); -- acting resume (even if it’s very minimal); -- no resume: have personal contact info (or business card); WHERE: Tri-C Campus in Parma, Ohio (11000 W Pleasant Valley Rd, park in "visitor"; walk to C-wing); If lost on campus - ask police officers to show you C-111 area). RECEIVE NEW HEADSHOT DISCOUNT: Beachwood based Discovery Photo studio (operated by photographer Scott T. Morrison) is giving special discount coupon to all who attend student audition – HALF PRICE HEADSHOTS ! Come to audition to get your special offer coupon, and meet Cleveland’s “movie star photographer” Scott in person, so you can make a deal for new headshot! INVITE your actor friends. Join us! Only actors who ATTEND this audition in person will be considered for our projects. If students don't find appropriate talent at this audition - they might consider additional talent (but the preference will be given to those who show up). SAG-AFTRA members are welcome, but they must prepare and coordinate union paperwork themselves. The beginner level students are not fully prepared (at this level) to handle advanced professional level producing duties, such as union contracts. Plus, the union requires paperwork well in advance. MINORS: if you're under 18 years of age, your parent must give you permission to audition and act. Bring your parent, or have him/her sign a form - giving you permission. ACTORS-WRITERS: If you are screenwriter-actor, or if you have an amazing location that student can use - feel free to pitch your own idea or short script, BUT it must follow our educational content rules and guidelines (see sample projects below, to get an idea). Or stop by, and chat with us. MUSICIANS: want to make an entry-level music video? Come and pitch your original song! __________________ SAMPLE PROJECTS PRODUCED IN THIS CLASS — MUSIC VIDEOS: featuring local recording artists and actors (shot on location or in studio); click on links… https://vimeo.com/album/3215203/video/125381154 https://vimeo.com/album/3215203/video/148639487 <https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fvimeo.com%2Falbum%2F3215203%2F…> — 30 SECOND ADS: serious subject or comedic (scripted, rehearsed, shot in our studio) https://vimeo.com/album/3215203/video/148642303 https://vimeo.com/album/3215203/video/17568531 — DRAMATIC MONOLOGUES: 2 minute monologue about certain subject (scripted, rehearsed, shot in our studio) https://vimeo.com/album/3215203/video/193532716 https://vimeo.com/album/3215203/video/215195941 — MICRO FILMS: or so called “3-2-1 Short Film Projects” (beginner level film productions featuring 3 pages of scripted narrative, 2 actors, and shot on 1 location only in 1 day).

BREAKING NEWS: Revised 'Jane Eyre' Musical to Premiere in Cleveland [CLEVELAND MUSICAL THEATRE]
by CMT Public Relations 06 Mar '18

06 Mar '18

Cleveland Musical Theatre Presents World Premiere Of Revised JANE EYRE In fall of 2018, Cleveland Musical Theatre will present the world premiere of a newly revised musical version of *Jane Eyre* in Cleveland, Ohio. This re-conceived version of *Jane Eyre* is the result of a yearlong collaboration between *CMT’s Artistic Director, Miles J. Sternfeld*, *Tony Award-nominated composer/lyricist Paul Gordon *and *Tony Award-winning book writer John Caird*. The production will premiere at Tri-C East’s Simon Rose Mandel Theatre on Cleveland’s east side. First seen on the Broadway stage in 2000, *Jane Eyre* – Charlotte Brontë’s most famous female heroine – comes to life in this revisal of Caird and Gordon's sweeping masterpiece. A strong-willed and resilient young woman, Jane's journey to find independence brings her face to face with love, death, and an unimaginable secret. Told through a lush score*, Jane Eyre* has garnered a tremendous fan following worldwide, earning the musical* 5 Tony Award nominations*. “For a few years now, Paul Gordon and I have been keen to explore the possibility of creating a chamber version of our Broadway musical *Jane Eyre, *in order to make the show a more practical proposition for small and medium-sized theatre companies around the world,” said Caird, the musical’s book writer. Sternfeld, CMT’s founder and director of this revised *Jane Eyre*, approached Gordon and Caird to develop the new version with CMT. This collaboration led to a starry 29-hour reading in New York, featuring *Broadway’s Tam Mutu* (*Dr. Zhivago*) and *Stephanie Umoh* (*Ragtime*), and a subsequent workshop in Cleveland. “The process has enabled us to cut down the size of cast and orchestra and streamline the story, intensifying the emotional journey of the central characters and giving a smaller supporting cast much more to do,” said Caird. “We are very pleased with the way the work has evolved so far and excited to see the new version prove itself in a full production in Cleveland.” The premiere in Cleveland will feature a cast of 10 actors, starring Broadway and Cleveland-based artists alongside emerging young talent. This version will be more intimate and ensemble-driven, with actors playing multiple roles and debuting new songs by Gordon. “One of the many reasons John Caird and I are thrilled to be bringing this new chamber version of *Jane Eyre* to Cleveland is -- not only will we have the opportunity to reexamine the material -- but we can create a new version of the show that is made for the 21st century,” Gordon said. “Working with Miles Sternfeld and this young, talented team allows John Caird and I the chance to rework the material, creating a more intimate piece than it was on Broadway. And once we have the show exactly where we want it creatively, the next step would be to capture and stream the show to a worldwide audience.” Gordon believes "streaming" will be a large part of *Jane Eyre*’s future along with re-licensing this re-worked version. “Our production in Cleveland will make these goals possible,“ Gordon said. “We have a unique opportunity right now to make musical theatre affordable, accessible and sustainable. We believe that *Jane Eyre* can be one of the first shows to pave the way for this exciting new platform. John Caird and I are truly excited about the journey ahead and we welcome the chance to come to Cleveland and make *Jane Eyre* the best musical it can be.” *Jane Eyre* is directed by CMT's Artistic Director *Miles J. Sternfeld*, with Music Supervision/Orchestrations by *Brad Haak*, Choreography by *Martín Céspedes*, Scenic Design by *Gabriel Firestone*, Costume Design by *Sydney Gallas*, Lighting Design by *Benjamin Gantose*, Sound Design by *Carlton Guc*, and Casting by *Jamibeth Margolis*. CMT is a non-profit professional theater company that produces newly developed and re-imagined musical theatre, featuring Broadway and Cleveland artists with emerging talent, and offers educational programs. By serving as Cleveland’s only Equity theatre company devoted to musical theatre, CMT seeks to push artistic boundaries and redefine Cleveland as a national arts destination. Tickets for *Jane Eyre* at *Cleveland Musical Theatre* go on sale May 1st. For more information, please visit www.ClevelandMusicalTheatre.org.

TOMORROW NIGHT - The Manhattan Project Annual Cleanse!!!
by Manhattan Project 06 Mar '18

06 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. Stop Wasting Time on Weak, Sagging Plays!!!The most wretched month of the year has begun and you've failed your New Year's resolution ten times already. *Fear not!* The Manhattan Project <https://facebook.us8.list-manage.com/track/click?u=24718b1d6d5f7c398165fdc7…> is ready to help by providing you with Zodiac Homogenized®, Cardio-stimulating Non-GMO Quantum Particlized®, Whole 30®, Fortified Ionized Copper-Plated Holistic Theatre® meant to clean you out and wipe you off! Our Indigo-Child playwrights were each instructed to consult the New-Age Bullshit Generator <https://facebook.us8.list-manage.com/track/click?u=24718b1d6d5f7c398165fdc7…> to inspire their home-quilted plays to stimulate your uvulas and neutralize bad vibes. We're pleased to present these life-changing panaceas! - *Manna is the Growth of Freedom, and of Us* by Arwen Mitchell - *Consciousness Consists of Supercharged Waveforms of Quantum Energy. "Quantum" Means an Evolving of the Higher* by Amy Schwabauer - *We Heal, We Heal, We are Reborn* by Daniel Dang - *Today Science Tells Us that the Essence of Nature is Healing* by Katie Wallace We hope you will join us for this eye-opening performance that BIG PHARMA doesn't want you to know about! The *performance* <https://facebook.us8.list-manage.com/track/click?u=24718b1d6d5f7c398165fdc7…>is tomorrow night, March 7 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…> . Come out of The Cave and join us! 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!*
