Auditions for Ensemble
by Rita Bigham 25 Jun '18

25 Jun '18

CASTING CALL: – “Dawg Pounded” “Dawg Pounded” is an original comedic play (with parody songs) that tells the story of two die-hard Cleveland Browns’ fans (Paul & Otto) who must cope with the ups and downs (mostly downs) of a typical Browns’ season. In addition to suffering the chaos on the field, they both suffer the slings of outrageous taunting from their chief nemesis, Pittsburgh Pete, as they watch the games at their local sports bar. The play includes a number of parody songs performed by fellow Browns’ fans. The play is a comedic examination on what it means to be a Browns’ fan – the torment, the doubt, and the anger, all wrapped up in the irrational comfort of hope and optimism that, one day, it will all be worth it. The play had a 2 year run (premiered in 2014 at Kennedy’s Theatre) in PlayhouseSquare This year the show will be performed at Vosh in Lakewood, Ohio for a total of 8 shows opening Aug. 30. Rehearsals will begin in August.

Creative Professional Housemate - Want One, or Will Be One
by Matt Young 25 Jun '18

25 Jun '18

Hi. Trying to find - or be - the perfect housemate. So many details: I am a 47 yo professional straight male, 10 years in education and mental health (my second career), full time at Cleveland State University as an Advisor/Program Coodinator, with a side gig seeing clients in a private therapy practice. After work, I fitness - gym daily, dabble in yoga, pilates, spinning, hiking, bike riding, etc. (when I have the right company). I stay busy. I am a creative writer/actor, with experience and talent writing stories, plays, movies, comedy, and am just starting to toy around with music production. I love movies. I love music. A lot. I am active in my creative hobbies. I love talking to others who love this stuff. I don't cook, but I want to, and I'd like to live with a person who will cook with me and be patient while I learn. I learn quickly. I'm still fairly new to Cleveland, been living in Lakewood, but prefer to be in Ohio City, Tremont. Somewhere with educated professionals who are also creatives - like me. Where creative goals precede the need for kid-having. I like kids, and may eventually raise one, but they are not a priority for me. I like animals - dogs and cats are great. I'm mostly extrovert - love to talk and process and out loud and joke around, and it helps me feel recharged. I also like to be alone, but less often. What I really want is a modern, clean, well-lit, easily-furnished space in Ohio City or Tremont, 2 Bed, 2 Bath with secure parking, and a person to live there with me. I could rent that space myself and find another person like me. Or I could move into another person's space that fits me. I like having a partner in the house - if it's the exact right fit - and I have had this in my life, so I know what it feels like. Eventually, that space will be taken by a girlfriend, but while I'm single, I would like to have an educated, professional, active, creative housemate, in the 30s to 50s age range. Interested? Perfect fit? If so, contact me - perfecthousematesearch@gmail. com Thanks, Matt
