THE LARAMIE PROJECT Opens This Friday
by Avenue Arts Marketplace & Theatre 10 Jul '18

10 Jul '18

The Laramie Project Opens This Friday at Avenue Arts Marketplace & Theatre Located at 324 Cleveland Ave NW Canton Ohio 44702 In October 1998, a twenty-one-year-old student at the University of Wyoming was kidnapped, severely beaten, and left tied to a fence in the middle of the prairie outside Laramie, Wyoming. His bloody, bruised, and battered body was not discovered until the next day, and he died several days later in an area hospital. His name was Matthew Shepard, and he was the victim of this assault because he was gay. Moisés Kaufman and fellow members of the Tectonic Theater Project made six trips to Laramie over the course of a year and a half, in the aftermath of the beating and during the trial of the two young men accused of killing Shepard.THE LARAMIE PROJECT is a breathtaking collage that explores the depths to which humanity can sink and the heights of compassion of which we are capable. Shows: July 13th-21st Fridays and Saturdays at 8pm Sunday, July 15th at 2pm Directed by: Jared Sparks Assistant Director/Stage Manager: Jake Sustersic Cast: Brad Vincent Brett Voina Cassie Brode Catherine Csanyi Channon Booth Manuel Halkias Stephen Ostertag Tara Corkery Tickets: $15 Can be purchased at https://squareup.com/store/avenue/ <https://squareup.com/store/avenue/>

10 Jul '18

KARAMU HOUSE AUDITIONS Seeking non-Equity African-American male vocalist who can dance for a new musical theatre concert entitled THE IMPACT OF SHUFFLE ALONG Hosted by BILL RUDMAN and TONY SIAS Coproduced by KARAMU HOUSE + THE MUSICAL THEATRE PROJECT TUESDAY, JULY 10, 2018 6:30 PM - 8:00 PM KARAMU HOUSE 2355 E. 89th Street Cleveland, OH 44106 APPOINTMENTS For an appointment, please submit the following materials information to casting(a)karamuhouse.org<mailto:casting@karamuhouse.org>: * a current headshot and up-to-date resume with accurate contact information * your current status with Actors' Equity Association union (i.e. AEA/non-AEA) If you are unable to attend the audition, please email your headshot and resume to casting(a)karamuhouse.org<mailto:casting@karamuhouse.org> along with a request to submit a video audition. Please make note of your union status when submitting. ABOUT THE PLAY It was one of the most significant musicals of the 20th century: a show written and performed entirely by African Americans; a show with exuberant songs by Eubie Blake and Noble Sissle (including the mega-hit "I'm Just Wild About Harry"); the show that brought the Harlem Renaissance to the musical stage; and the first show that allowed black theatergoers to watch from the orchestra after so many years of segregated seating. George Gershwin, Fanny Brice and other luminaries of white musical theater gathered at Shuffle Along to see what they could learn from its ragtime music and spirited dancing, and the answer was: a lot. Two years ago, writer and director George C. Wolfe created a Broadway musical about this 1921 trailblazer; now it's time for TMTP and Cleveland's historic Karamu House to take our turn with a new multi-media concert. PREPARATION Seeking a non-Equity African-American male vocalist (age range 35-50) who can dance. Audition appointments are FIVE minutes long. Please prepare ONE 20s jazz standard not to exceed THREE minutes. Finally, please bring a copy of your headshot and resume (stapled together) to your audition time.
