Lakeland's A Little Night Music: September 7-30, 2018
by Martin Friedman 20 Sep '18

20 Sep '18

*Lakeland Theatre* * announces* *A Little Night Music* Music and Lyrics by *Stephen Sondheim* Book by *Hugh Wheeler* Directed by *Martin Friedman* Musical Direction by *Jordan Cooper * Setting Designed by *Aaron Benson* Sound Designed by *Eric Simna * Lighting Designed by* Adam Ditzel* Costumes Designed by *Kelsey Tomlinson* Production Stage Manager *Emerson Thoenen* *The Play:* *A Little Night Music* was the first play my parents took me too on Broadway (a double feature with *The Sunshine Boys*) in 1973. Indeed, this will be my 50th directed production in a total of 18 years at Lakeland. While I was only 20 years old, the story immediately captured my attention; unrequited love, beautiful melodies and a total lack of misunderstanding amongst all the characters… now that was drama! Based on the Ingmar Bergman film *Smiles of a Summer Night*, this musical, with a book by Hugh Wheeler, concerns three mismatched couples. Desiree Armfeldt, an actress, is seeing Count Carl-Magnus Malcolm who is married to Charlotte Malcolm. Frederik Eggerman, Desiree's past lover, is married to the still-virginal Anne, who is half his age. Henrik Eggerman, Frederik's son who is also a divinity student, loves his stepmother Anne, who is a year younger than him. Petra, Frederik and Anne's maid, Madame Armfeldt, Desiree's mother, and Frederica, Desiree's daughter round out the action which occurs in town and at "A Weekend in the Country" at Madame Armfeldt's house in the land of the midnight sun. The musical features a lieder quintet as a Greek chorus. *Production Dates:* *A Little Night Music **will open on Friday, September 7 and run through Sunday September 30, 2018. There will be twelve (12) shows; that is FOUR (4) weeks of performances. * *Featuring:* *Desiree Armfeldt: Trinidad Snider* *Fredrika: Elyse Pakiela* *Madame Armfeldt: Mary Jane Nottage* *Fredrick Eggerman: Rob Albrecht* *Henrik Eggerman: Eric Fancher* *Anne Eggerman: Sarah Clare* *Petra: Meg Martinez* *Count Carl Magnus: Ian Atwood* *Charlotte Magnus: Neely Gevaart* *LIebislieders:* *Robin Woods Davis* *Robert Pierce* *Michaela Bennett* *Jessica Pringle* *Tickets:* *Tickets for A Little Night Music are $15 for adults, $13 for seniors and $7 for all students. Call 440/525-7526 for ticket reservations and information about group discounts. Tickets can be ordered on-line at * *www.lakelandcc.edu/arts* <http://www.lakelandcc.edu/arts>*.* For more information please feel free to contact me, Martin Friedman at martinfriedman98(a)gmail.com or at 216/233-5441.

Bassist available
by Brian Del Bianco 19 Sep '18

19 Sep '18

I am a non-traditional graduate student at Ohio University, but I have designed my semester to be able to run my research project in the Akron area and will be here most of the week and all of the weekends. Unfortunately, after all of this, my advisor decided on a different direction for the project so I'll be up here with no project...which leaves lots of opportunity for gigs! I have continued to play with the Akron and Canton Symphonies, but this season is going to be sparser than usual and I'm going to need to pay for all of this gas money somehow! If you need to hire a bassist for your musical, church, orchestra, jingle, Holiday event, wedding band or anything else that may require some low end, please keep me in mind. I have subbed for many shows and would love the opportunity to do it again, if needed. As long as parts are notated, I am interested. If chord changes are all that is available, that is not a deal-breaker, but it will depend on the setting. That is not my specialty, but I am fluent at reading bass, treble and most of tenor clef and am available on electric and/or upright basses. I've returned to school after a long break so I'm an old dude and I have many years of performing experience under my fingers. You would be hiring somebody that has played many different genres and settings and who considers punctuality and reliability to be as important to the gig as rhythm. Thanks! Brian

Footloose opens at Theatre 8:15 this weekend!
by Dawna Kornick 19 Sep '18

19 Sep '18

Theatre 8:15 announces... "Footloose" The Musical Music by Tom Snow<http://www.rnh.com/bio/201/Snow-Tom> | Lyrics by Dean Pitchford<http://www.rnh.com/bio/43/Pitchford-Dean> | Stage Adaptation by Dean Pitchford<http://www.rnh.com/bio/43/Pitchford-Dean> and Walter Bobbie<http://www.rnh.com/bio/204/Bobbie-Walter> | Based on the original screenplay by Dean Pitchford | Additional Music by Eric Carmen, Sammy Hagar, Kenny Loggins and Jim Steinman. One of the most explosive movie musicals in recent memory bursts onto the live stage with exhilarating results. When Ren and his mother move from Chicago to a small farming town, Ren is prepared for the inevitable adjustment period at his new high school. What he isn't prepared for are the rigorous local edicts, including a ban on dancing instituted by the local preacher, determined to exercise the control over the town's youth that he cannot command in his own home. When the reverend's rebellious daughter sets her sights on Ren, her roughneck boyfriend tries to sabotage Ren's reputation, with many of the locals eager to believe the worst about the new kid. The heartfelt story that emerges is of a father longing for the son he lost and of a young man aching for the father who walked out on him. To the rockin' rhythm of its Oscar and Tony-nominated top 40 score (the soundtrack album reached number one on the Billboard charts and has sold over 15 million copies!) and augmented with dynamic new songs for the stage musical, FOOTLOOSE celebrates the wisdom of listening to young people, guiding them with a warm heart and an open mind. PERFORMANCE DATES September 21 - September 30, 2018 Fridays and Saturdays @ 8:15 pm Sundays @ 2:15 pm ********** Tickets: Adults $15 - Seniors / Students $ 12 ** Tickets are available through our on line Box Office ** For more information please call (330) 896-0339 or email tickets(a)theatre815.com<mailto:tickets@theatre815.com> FOOTLOOSE is presented through special arrangement with R & H Theatricals: www.rnh.com<http://www.rnh.com> [X] 4740 Massillon Rd Green, Ohio 44232 (330) 896-0339 www.theatre815.com<http://www.theatre815.com>
