*Playwrights Local PresentsA New PodPlaySTRANDEDWritten by Edward J. WalshDirected & narrated by Tim TavcarFeaturing Agnes Herrmann------------------------------SYNOPSISVickie Schultz, a reporter, is not happy. Let go by her newspaper in Cincinnati, she starts a new job in New Jersey without her family, friends, and cheating fiancé. Vickie expects to cover a breaking story about the Mayor and his female Police Chief. Instead, she’s assigned to the arrival of a whale on the shore — a huge pelagic mammal, not unlike the mythical Moby Dick. The sooner this stranded subject returns to the ocean (or doesn’t), the sooner Vickie gets her career back on track. As with her own struggles, though, the whale’s plight won’t be resolved quickly.RECORDING TIME40 minutesSOUND DESIGNER/EDITORAngie Hayes------------------------------WEBPAGEhttp://www.playwrightslocal.org/s… <http://www.playwrightslocal.org/stranded/>FREE DOWNLOAD: MP3 (38MB)http://www.playwrightslocal.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Stranded-by… <http://www.playwrightslocal.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Stranded-by-Edwa…> LISTEN & DOWNLOAD ON SOUNDCLOUDhttps://soundcloud.com/playwrightslocal/stranded <https://soundcloud.com/playwrightslocal/stranded> ------------------------------Recorded at Bad Racket studio in January 2018.

REVIEW: The Humans (Laura Kennelly)
by Laura Kennelly 16 Apr '18

16 Apr '18

REVIEW: The Humans (Laura Kennelly). *Holiday dinners should com*e with trigger warnings, at least according to Stephen Karam’s *The Humans*, the latest in the Broadway Series currently at Playhouse Square. In an intense, well-crafted (and compressed) drama centered on a Thanksgiving family reunion, the Blake family goes from “Happy to see you” to “What has happened to us? What have we done?” For the rest see Cool Cleveland <http://coolcleveland.com/2018/04/theater-review-humans-playhouse-square-lau…>

by Jeremy Gilpatric 16 Apr '18

16 Apr '18

Solon Community Church (SCC) , United Church of Christ has an immediate opening for a bass/baritone soloist/section leader. The church is a small but vibrant congregation with a strong commitment to its music program. The bass/baritone soloist/section leader is expected to attend the weekly rehearsal at 9:00 am on Sunday morning and the 10:30 service. At each service, the choir sings an introit, anthem, and leads hymns. The soloist section leader would be responsible for a solo selection during the offertory approximately once a month. Additional solo opportunities in the weekly anthem are periodically available. SCC presents two major works per year, generally the Sundays before Christmas and Easter. This year we presented the Faure Requiem and Vivaldi Gloria. SCC presents a wide range of musical styles including classical, gospel, and contemporary. The ideal candidate for bass/baritone soloist section leader would be a music major at a local college or a recent graduate. Consideration will be given to advanced high school student with extensive performance experience and private study. Compensation is competitive and commensurate with experience. Once again, this is a Sunday-only commitment. Please contact Jeremy Gilpatric, Director of Music for additional information and/or to arrange an audition.jer4192(a)yahoo.com
