Weathervane Playhouse previews "Les Liaisons Dangereuses" Tonight and opens Friday!
by Fred Gloor 03 May '18

03 May '18

Sex, intrigue, betrayal, and revenge! Weathervane Playhouse brings Les Liaisons Dangereuses (Dangerous Liaisons) to the stage. AKRON- in Choderlos de Laclos' Les Liaisons Dangereuses (Dangerous Liaisons), two lovers conspire to ruin the reputation of a young innocent. As their games of seduction become more intricate, the stakes become higher than either could imagine. In 1782, Laclos' novel of sex, intrigue, and betrayal in pre-revolutionary France scandalized the world. Now Weathervane brings this tale of seduction and decadent morality amongst the wealthy aristocrats of pre-revolutionary France to the Founders Theater from May 3-20. Show times are Thursdays through Saturdays at 7:30 p.m. and Sundays at 2:30 p.m. Tickets are $10 - $22 and can be ordered by calling the box office at 330-836-2626 or going to www.weathervaneplayhouse.com<http://www.weathervaneplayhouse.com>. On Thursday, May 10 Weathervane is hosting a "Parents Night." Parents can enjoy a night out to see the show and the kids will get to take a theatre class! Children ages 3-12 will enjoy different theatre games and activities with our professional Weathervane Instructors. Kids will check-in at 7:00 p.m. and check-out right after bows! One child is $10.00 and two is $15.00. Purchase your tickets for the show through our Box Office prior to registering your child. Director Craig Joseph says of the production, "I think the play is about how terrifying it is to love and be loved. How unsettling it can be. How it undoes us. And how we respond to that undoing - fighting against it or allowing ourselves to be remade into something new for the beloved. Although we initially revel, as audience members, in the naughty behavior, the story carries some pretty clear warnings and consequences for wickedness and folly." AUDIENCE ADVISORY: Les Liaisons Dangereuses contains adult themes and is therefore not suitable for young children. Les Liaisons Dangereuses is presented through special arrangement with Samuel French, Inc. The videotaping or other video or audio recording of this production is strictly prohibited.

In Need of an Actor for "bare: A Pop Opera" at WRP
by B W 03 May '18

03 May '18

ROLE AVAILABLE (Must be 18+ & able to convincingly play high school age): ZACK: student, jock (Baritone) ALL ETHNICITIES & GENDER INDENTITIES ARE ENCOURAGED TO AUDITION Directed by Co-Artistic Director Brian Westerley Musical Direction by Dave Stebbins 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 start May 14th. 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. Please prepare a song in the style of the show, BUT NOT FROM THE SHOW. Your audition will also consist of a cold reading from the script. If interested, contact the director at brianw(a)westernreserveplayhouse.org to set up an audition.
