Modern Jazz / Pop band looking for Keyboardist
by Allan Ambrochowicz 24 Aug '18

24 Aug '18

Modern jazz/pop/rock band looking for an experienced and mature keyboardist. We have a 3 set show we are currently working on consisting of updated jazz standards, and 60s, 70s, and 80s covers. We currently have a bassist, drummer, guitarist, and 3 female singers. The ability to sightread is a must, but also the ability to be flexible during arranging. We work from both Real Book 5, as well as YouTube, for learning songs. The position calls for familiarity with playing piano, electric piano, strings, and pads. There is a keyboard and sound system available for practice, though a personal keyboard is still recommended. Artists we are covering include Steely Dan, Sade, Ella Fitzgerald, and Sting to name only a few. If you are interested in an audition, please contact Allan at 440-444-9657 (call or text, but make sure you leave a message if you call. I don't respond to random phone calls). Practices are in Mentor on Thursday and Saturday from 6 to 9. Thank you.

Terms of Endearment going into the second weekend at Western Reserve Playhouse
by Dawn Yamokoski 23 Aug '18

23 Aug '18

Western Reserve playhouse is thrilled to be bringing to its stage “Terms of Endearment”, adapted for the stage by Dan Gordon and based on the Oscar-winning film by James L. Brooks. This wonderful play runsAugust 17-September 1, 2018(Fridays & Saturdays at 8PM; with a 2PM Matinee on Sunday August 26th). Challenges in life and love test the resilience of a mother-daughter relationship in the stage adaptation, based on the book by Pulitzer Prize-winner Larry McMurtry and the 1983 film. Though Emma is often exasperated by her highly-opinionated mother, Aurora, they talk every day about their problems, from Aurora finding unexpected love even as she becomes a reluctant grandmother, to Emma’s struggle in her troubled marriage. When they need one another most, will they be able to find courage in each other? This funny and touching story captures the delicate, sometimes fractured bonds between mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, and lovers, both old and new. Karen Rose directs this stage adaptation of the emotional movie, filled with tenderness and comedy. This show features the amazing acting works of Kerry Scanlon, Annette Fernandez, Craig Webb, Corey East, Lisa Rupple, and Austin Sasser. Showtimes: 8PM Fridays and Saturdays and with a 2PM Matinee on Sunday August 26th. Tickets are $17.00 for Adults and $15.00 for Seniors and Students. Reserve tickets at westernreserveplayhouse.org or call 330-620-7314.
