Directed by Mike Larochelle Vocal Direction and Choreography by Brenda Larochelle Written and Originally Directed and Choreographed by STUART ROSS Musical Continuity Supervision and Arrangements by James Raitt Originally Produced by Gene Wolsk Directors Mike and Brenda Larochelle make their Workshop directorial debut with four male characters who have the unique chance for a do-over. Meet Sparky (Alex Turner), Smudge (David Reich), Jinx (Nick Salazar), and Frankie (Danny Sabo), whose dreams of becoming their own pitch perfect Doo-Wop group were cut short by an untimely deadly accident on the way to their first gig. Miraculously, the clouds open and the “Plaids” have one opportunity to come back to earth (except in our case it’s actually 7 chances!) to strut their stuff … and strut they do! Get ready for a nostalgic trip back to the fabulous 50s as they deliver beloved songs alongside delightful patter. It’s a hoot for them and a special treat for us! It’s the perfect show to take the chill out of those winter blues. Performances are January 17, 18, 19, 25 & 26 at 7:30 p.m. with matinees on Sundays, January 20 and 27 at 3 p.m. Tickets are $15 each, but group rates are available. -- Workshop Players 44820 Middle Ridge Road, Amherst, OH 44001 Box Office: 440-988-5613 (Box Office hours: 9 a.m. to 7 p.m.) contact(a)workshopplayers.com www.workshopplayers.com "If all the world's a stage, I want better lighting!"

Big announcement… CPT announces applications for PREMIERE FELLOWSHIP
by Beth Wood 07 Jan '19

07 Jan '19

CPT ANNOUNCES APPLICATIONS FOR PREMIERE FELLOWSHIP With the support of Cuyahoga Arts & Culture (CAC), Cleveland Public Theatre (CPT) is proud to launch the Premiere Fellowship to support five local theatre artists from the disciplines of acting, directing, playwriting, design, and stage management. Fellows will receive a $5,000 cash award, fees for project-based work, professional development, and access to space, equipment, and other important assets needed to make their art. Each fellow will work on CPT premiere productions, and playwrights will receive a workshop of their own work. As part of the Fellowship, CPT will pair artists with career-advancing connections including potential mentors, collaborators, and peers, and CPT will seek to connect artists to the national field. Our comprehensive selection process will evaluate the artist’s history of creating work, current career trajectory, and potential fit for this particular fellowship. We will select recipients based on our definition of excellence: artists creating transformative and impactful experiences for their intended communities. Through this fellowship, artists will gain vital, career-advancing experience, connections, and mentorship. We know from experience that substantial financial awards to individual artists have a massive impact on that artist and on our community. The entire community benefits from investments like this—and we are so grateful to CAC for helping us make this happen. Check out our website for more information about the Fellowship and the application<https://www.cptonline.org/news/uncategorized/cpt-premiere-fellowship/> —we can’t wait to see what the incredible artists in our community will do!
