Plaza Suite Opens THIS FRIDAY at Cassidy Theatre!
by The Cassidy Theatre 31 Jul '18

31 Jul '18

*Plaza Suite* Written by Neil Simon Directed by Dan Sekanic August 3-5, 17-19, 24-26 Fridays/Saturday @ 8:00 p.m. Sundays @ 3:00 p.m. Featuring: Georgia Muttillo Steve DeLuca Jackie Manno Lou Petrucci Amy Smialek Karen Flannery Mark Levigne Ticketing: ONLINE: https://cassidytheatre.ticketleap.com/plazasuite/ BY PHONE: (440)-842 -4600 IN PERSON: 6200 Pearl Road Parma Heights, OH 44130 Adults: $15 Seniors/Students: $14 Synopsis: Hilarity abounds in this portrait of three couples successively occupying a suite at the Plaza. A suburban couple take the suite while their house is being painted and it turns out to be the one in which they honeymooned 23 (or was it 24?) years before and was yesterday the anniversary, or is it today? This wry tale of marriage in tatters is followed by the exploits of a Hollywood producer who, after three marriages, is looking for fresh fields. He calls a childhood sweetheart, now a suburban housewife, for a little diversion. Over the years she has idolized him from afar and is now more than the match he bargained for. The last couple is a mother and father fighting about the best way to get their daughter out of the bathroom and down to the ballroom where guests await her or as Mother yells, "I want you to come out of that bathroom and get married!"

Auditions for TUCK EVERLASTING at Carnation City Players
by Michael Ritzert 31 Jul '18

31 Jul '18

What: Auditions for TUCK EVERLASTING, a musical presented by Carnation City Players. Where: Firehouse Theater, 450 East Market Street, Alliance, OH. When: Sunday, August 5, 7:00-9:00PM and Monday, August 6, 7:30-9:30PM. Sign up for an audition time at https://bit.ly/2zE5YSt <https://bit.ly/2zE5YSt> Audition Info: Please prepare a musical selection in the style of the show. An accompanist will be provided. Auditioners should also be prepared to read from the script. No a capella or songs from the production, please. Production dates are October 5-7 and 12-14, 2018. Director | Brian Westerley Music Director | Kim Lewis Character Breakdown WINNIE FOSTER Female, to play 11. She has lost her father. She is too skeptical for her age, but with an unknown longing for romance and adventure. JESSE TUCK Male, to play 17. The ageless love interest of WINNIE. Light and laughing. The lightness shown all the brighter for the shadow of loneliness that he has. MILES TUCK Male, 23. A burned and bitter man. His natural sweetness shut away. Lost his wife and child, doomed to live with regret. MA TUCK Female, 40s. Still beautiful after all these years, a matriarch, a mother, a wife. Her homespun wisdom is leavened by her humor and still girlish delight. PA TUCK Male, 40s. Once awakened, a vibrant, virile man. He is an indulgent father, a fond if forgetful husband, but a true soul with a deep well of love and profound understanding of the life around him. NANA Female, 60. A loopy old woman, but a loving Grandmother and Mother. MAN IN YELLOW SUIT Male, 50s - 60s. Creepy and persuasive, a man with an obsession, a secret. HUGO Male, to play 17. Painfully shy, awkward and goofy; but smart and eerily observant - His father (CONSTABLE JOE) knows this. The two of them have a “routine” that fools most of the people all of the time. MOTHER Female, 30s. A gentle woman almost broken by grief and fear and loss. Adversity finds her brave and unbending. CONSTABLE JOE Male, 50s - 60s. Seemingly a buffoon, his simple manner belies a sharp wit and kind heart. ENSEMBLE
