In a modern, urban riff on Nathaniel Hawthorne's _The Scarlet Letter,_ Hester La Negrita, a homeless mother of five, lives with her kids on the tough streets of the inner city.

While Hester's kids fill her life with joy (comical moments amid the harsh world of poverty) the supposedly supportive adults only hold her back. Will anything prevent a tragic end? _In The Blood _is directed by Cory Molner, with the cast featuring actors Jeannine Gaskin, Daryl Kelley, Anthony X, Shannon Sharkey, Grace Mitri and Patrick Gladish. _In the Blood _opens Friday, May 18 and_ _runs Thurs-Sat at 8 pm through June 9 at the Liminis, 2438 Scranton Rd, Cleveland 44113 in the historic Tremont neighborhood.

14 May '18

THEATRE DIRECTING/CREATION CLASS TAUGHT BY RAYMOND BOBGAN, CLEVELAND PUBLIC THEATRE (CPT) EXECUTIVE ARTISTIC DIRECTOR Deadline for application extended to May 21, 2018 CLASS DESCRIPTION Theatre Directing/Creation Class is for theatre directors, writers, actors, designers, and composers who wish to explore the rigors of directing and creating original performances. In this class everyone will direct, act, and create. Participants may also be paired to collaborate on some assignments. The class will not follow a conventional curriculum and will evolve throughout the process. The class will include the creation of 3-4 scene assignments in order for participants to explore class topics and develop new work. Director/Creator Raymond Bobgan's work centers on collaborating with performers to create performance. Deep work with actors on the creation of physical, mental, and emotional scores, montage of these scores with original text, layering of various elements, song creation, storytelling, and the moving of objects to transform space are all hallmarks of his unique approach to theatre. Raymond will also share techniques for engaging people in making and writing story. Students may only miss one class and must make up work for that class. This is a working classroom environment and students will be expected to come to each class ready to dive in. Students must also be prepared to cast, create, and rehearse 3-4 scenes for in-class presentation. CPT space may be available to students for class work on a limited basis. Students need to plan for 4-8 hours of rehearsal time for each scene. Scenes will be presented at the start of class on due dates. The fee for the class is $750. CPT will accept up to ½ of this fee to be paid in "sweat-equity" volunteer work. For more information, including class schedule and how to apply, please visit http://www.cptonline.org/news/uncategorized/theatre-directing-creation-clas…

14 May '18

*Lakeland Theatre* * Auditions for* *A Little Night Music* Music and Lyrics by *Stephen Sondheim* Book by *Hugh Wheeler* Directed by *Martin Friedman* Musical Direction by* Jordan Cooper* Sound Designed by *Eric Simna * Settings Designed by *Austin Kilpatrick * Lighting Designed by *Adam Ditzel * * Costumes Designed by Kelsey Tomlinson* *The Play: **A Little Night Music* was the first play my parents took me to on Broadway (a double feature with *The Sunshine Boys*) in 1973. Indeed, this will be my 50th directed production at Lakeland Theatre. While I was only 20 years old, the story immediately captured my attention; unrequited love, beautiful melodies and a total lack of misunderstanding amongst all the characters… now that was drama! Based on the Ingmar Bergman film *Smiles of a Summer Night*, this musical with a book by Hugh Wheeler, concerns three mismatched couples. Desiree Armfeldt, an actress, is seeing Count Carl-Magnus Malcolm who is married to Charlotte Malcolm. Frederik Egerman, Desiree's past lover, is married to the still-virginal Anne, who is half his age. Henrik Egerman, Frederik's son, who is also a divinity student, loves his stepmother Anne, who is a year younger than him. Petra (Anne's maid), Fredrik and of course, Madame Armfeldt, Desiree's mother, and Frederica, Desiree's daughter, round out the action which occurs in town and at "A Weekend in the Country" at Madame Armfeldt's house in the land of the midnight sun. The musical features a lieder quintet as a Greek chorus. *Audition Information:* *Auditions will be held on Tuesday and Wednesday, May 22 and 23 at Lakeland Community College in Building D at 7:15pm. NO APPOINTMENTS ARE NECESSARY. ** Please: **One 32 bar cut in the style of the show. A Sondheim piece is preferred. A strong command of musical styles and vocal athleticism is greatly needed for this show.* *You need only come to one of the audition dates**. YOU DO NOT NEED AN AUDITION TIME. JUST SHOW UP AT 7:15 AND WE WILL HAVE YOU SING and then READ. CALLBACKS will be held on Thursday, Mary 24 at 7:15. ALL ROLES ARE COMPENSATED. Sorry, no EQUITY contracts for this show. * *The Roles:* *Desiree Armfeld:* *40-50 years. A self-absorbed, once-successful actress now reduced to touring small towns. She becomes entagled in a love triange with the Count and Fredrikc.** Range: F#3-Ab6.* *Madame Armfeldt: **Over 60. Desiree’s elderly mother, brutally honest and a veteran of discreet encounters with the crowned heads of Europe. Dislikes raisins. ** Range: C4-F#5.* *Fredrika Armfeldt:* *Between the ages of 12-15. NO OLDER-SORRY. Desiree’s self-contained and formal daughter. Convent trained. Eager to learn. **Range: C4-Eb5* *Frederick Egerman: **Between 40 and 55. Handsome, weary, sad middle-aged lawyer who is married to his second wife, Anne, and has a son, Henrik, from his first marriage.** Range: A2-E4. * *Anne Egerman:* *Very early 20’s. Naïve at times; seeking guidance in all things especially love and sext. Fredrik’s new wife. Virginal. * *Range: G#3-G#5.* *Henrik Egerman: **Early to mid twenties. Serious and confused, looking for some kind of sign. Studying for the Lutheran Priesthood. Plays the cello. ** Range: G3-B5.* * Count Carl-Magnus Malcom: **Between the ages of 30 and 45.
