This show is a nearly forgotten Broadway treasure dear to my heart, filled with endearingly human characters looking for place, purpose and, yes, love. The score is vibrant, melodic and instantly captivating with heart-wrenching ballads and show-stopping chorus numbers that just keep coming at you. ALL ROLES ARE OPEN, and require actors of diverse age, race, size, physicality and experience. This is a BIG-TOP SHOW needing a large singing/dancing/circus troupe of performers. We will be turning the whole theatre into a carnival of color and light. There is magic, acrobatics, puppets and illusion. Complex themes include mental and physical woundedness, the inability to discern truth from hypocrisy and life's call for change, healing and re-definition. A show perfectly aligned with Near West Theatre's mission!!! Please help us spread the word far and near, Carnival! is coming......step into a fantastic world where anything is possible and love is found where you least expect it. ABOUT THE SHOW Naïve orphan Lili happens upon a failing carnival troupe in the south of France and meets puppeteer Paul, a former ballet dancer and a war hero, now lame and unable to ever dance again. Paul forms a puppet act with Lili as the main attraction, and the carnival is changed forever! Acclaimed for its simplicity and compassion, Carnival! is an endless parade of color, magic, and dance - and four special puppets sure to win your hearts and imaginations! Based on the 1953 film Lili, Carnival! boasts a charming Bob Merrill score, including the hit song "Love Makes The World Go Round," which will lift your spirits long after the final bows. This bittersweet fairy tale is our Holiday Spectacular, sure to delight audiences of all ages! Rehearsals begin Sunday, September 23, 2018 The show runs November 16-December 9, 2018 with performances on November 16, 17, 23, 24, 25, 29, 30, December 1, 2, 6, 7, 8 & 9 Music & Lyrics By Bob Merrill Book by Michael Stewart Based on Material by Helen Deutsch Carnival! will be Directed by Bob Navis Jr, Choreographed by Josh Landis & Musically Directed by Butch Marshall CHARACTER DESCRIPTIONS JACQUOT - Paul's friend and assistant. Jacquot constantly encourages Paul to stick with the carnival and not give up on his puppetry. He is extremely sympathetic towards Lili and helps her adjust to her new life. B. E. SCHLEGEL - The owner of the Grand Imperial Cirque de Paris. Schlegel can be harsh at times, but he ultimately cares for the well-being of the circus and its performers, including Lili whom he hires, fires and then rehires. MARCO THE MAGNIFICENT - A womanizing magician with a long-standing, but rocky relationship with Rosalie. Marco easily seduces Lili with his magic and is able to manipulate and entice her to join his act and fall in love with him. THE INCOMPARABLE ROSALIE - Marco's assistant and love interest. Rosalie is constantly jealous of Marco's relationships with other women - especially the innocent Lili. She is almost engaged to her long-distance suitor, Dr. Glass, but comes to her senses and runs away with Marco to perform their act in fine hotels across Europe. LILI - A young optimistic orphan who comes to the circus in hopes of finding a job. Lili is not the brightest girl and is easily influenced by the people who surround her, especially Marco the Magnificent. After a few failed attempts at other jobs, she ends up becoming the star of Paul's puppet show and must suffer through his biting insults and jealousy. PAUL BERTHALET - A lonely and bitter puppeteer whose dance career was shattered after suffering a crippling war injury. Paul's misanthropic nature alienates him from everyone, including his love, Lili. Paul uses his four puppets: Carrot Top, Horrible Henry, Marguerite and Renardo the Fox to communicate with others, but without the puppets, he struggles to personally communicate with real people.

31 Aug '18

AUDITIONS ARE TOMORROW!!! The Buzzard Cove Screampark is looking for Haunt Actors for this Halloween Season! We will be holding an open audition tomorrow, 9/1 from Noon - 3pm in the open lot next to the Buzzard Cove mini golf and driving range located @ 1053 Bellus Rd Hinckley, Oh 44233. Signs will be posted indicating where to go. The Haunt will operate Thursdays through Sundays, 9/27-10/28. Thursdays and Sundays from 7pm -10pm Fridays and Saturdays from 7pm - Midnight. Questions, please email: buzzardcovescreampark(a)gmail.com About the main Haunt, we are looking for performers for...the theme is, well … Hell. Visitors will walk into a series of rooms that set the stage for a descent into the basement, where things get pretty bleak. A cult has taken over the Barn and released the forces of evil. In one room, you will find a fortuneteller, and the outlook is not good. Another room is full of mannequins dressed in all black conjuring demons. There’s a creepy doll room where all the occupants have no eyes. And in the barn’s basement is where true evil resides - one room has animal carcasses hanging from the ceiling and at the end the walls are covered in human skin (actually gallon after gallon of latex) and body parts.

CORRECTION: TMPAC final production of its inaugural season, AFTER-PLAY, opens October 5!!!
by Claudia Lillibridge 31 Aug '18

31 Aug '18

TMPAC is proud to announce the cast of After-Play, written by Anne Meara, and directed by D. Keith Stiver. Performances 8pm; October 5, 6, 12, 13, 19 and 20, 2018. 9076 Church Street, Suite 2 and 3, Twinsburg, OH. Tickets available online at www.twinmasks.org or via phone at 330-888-3211. Adults: $15.00; Seniors and Students: $10.00.

Keith Stiver Stage Manager: Scott Jarvis THE STORY: Set in the newest "in" Manhattan restaurant, the play opens with an ethereal waiter preparing for the arrival of a party of four. Just as the two couples are about to enter, it magically begins to snow making the night perfect for a cozy after-theater supper. The two middle-aged couples, Marty and Terry, and Renee and Phil, old friends reuniting after three years, have just seen a new Broadway play. Shedding the formality of the theater, the four friends settle into the comfort of the restaurant, order cocktails and begin to reacquaint themselves. The years and distance separating them have changed them more than they thought. Discussing the play and playing catch-up leads to little arguments and major differences of opinion. More drinks are ordered and apologies ease the way into dinner over which are discussed sex, the wearing of fur, matters of health and problems with their children. Time and distance aside, these couples know each other very well and will always be close friends. A third couple, Emily and Matt, acquaintances of Marty and Terry, stop by the table to say hello. After introductions, they are convinced to stay for a nightcap even though Emily has already had too much to drink. The nightcap sends her over the edge, and when the recent tragic death of her son is brought up, the uncomfortable situation is made worse. Emily makes a drunken, public spectacle of herself, forcing Matt to all but carry her out of the restaurant. The ugliness of the moment is not lost on Marty, Terry, Renee and Phil, all of whom are deeply effected. Having shared painful secrets and made new discoveries about one another, the four put their disagreements and arguments behind them and forge ahead in friendship until next time. Twin Masks Performing Arts Center (TMPAC) is a 501c3 non-profit entity and is a proud member of the Twinsburg Chamber of Commerce, Twinsburg Historical Society and OCTA.
