KARAMU THEATER AUDITIONS
by lillianpyles＠roadrunner.com 17 Feb '19

17 Feb '19

THE VELOCITY OF AUTUMN written by Eric Coble 80-year-old Alexandra finds herself in a showdown with her family over where she should spend her golden years. Armed with enough Molotov cocktails to take out the entire neighborhood, she is determined to remain in her Brooklyn brownstone...by any means necessary. Her estranged son Chris, tumbles onto the scene becoming an unlikely and ill-equipped mediator. Wonderfully touching and wickedly funny, this story touches on a sobering dilemma faced by families every day. PRODUCTION DATES Rehearsals: Feb. 28 – Mar. 27, 2019 * Evening rehearsals run from 6:30 PM to 10:30 PM * Sat from 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM, Sun from 3:00 PM to 9:00 PM Performances: Mar. 28 – Apr. 21, 2019 * Evening performances on Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays at 7:30 PM * Matinee performances on Saturdays and Sundays at 3:00 PM * Special Matinee performances on Thursdays at 1:00 PM ROLES** Alexandria (Female, 55+, African American/Latino) - 80-year-old artistic and vital life force, she is combatting the inevitability of aging and is desperately trying to maintain her independence and dignity despite the decline of her mental and physical capacities; still sees herself as the twenty-something freewheeling bohemian she was and is still sharp, guarded and ready for a fight; warm, sensitive, intelligent and funny underneath a cantankerous hard outer shell; she has barricaded herself in her Brooklyn brownstone to take a stand. Christopher (Male, 45-50, African American/Latino) - Alexandra’s son; a lost soul still looking to find meaning and purpose in his life; a gay New Age drifter; a desert rat who has been estranged from the family and living in New Mexico; very much his mother’s son, he is artistic, funny, highly sensitive and caring; just as combative as Alexandra, he is good with words and not one to easily back down; has always seen himself as the outcast black sheep and is looking to finally do something impactful in his life.

Review of "Witness for the Prosecution" at Great Lakes Theater
by Bob Abelman 17 Feb '19

17 Feb '19

Great Lakes Theater’s ‘Witness for the Prosecution’ a guilty pleasure Bob Abelman Cleveland Jewish News, The News Herald, The Morning Journal A large part of the pleasure derived from Agatha Christie plays and the novels on which they are based is attempting to figure out for ourselves who the murderer might be based on the same clues and manipulative slight-of-hand offered to her marvelously conceived master detectives. In her “Witness for the Prosecution,” which premiered in London in 1953 and is currently being staged by Great Lakes Theater, we bear witness to the murder trial of the naïve Leonard Vole (Taha Mandviwala), who is suspected of killing Emily French, an older woman who had left him everything in her recently revised will. The key witness for the prosecution is none other than his no-nonsense, foreign-born wife, Romaine (Jodi Dominick). Because this play is based on a short story and not a novel, we are afforded fewer twists and turns and less bait and switch than other works by Christie. Instead, we hear one side of the case and then the other, and barristers rather than master detectives work things out. In short, sitting through “Witness for the Prosecution” can feel a lot like jury duty. For more of this article, go to www.clevelandjewishnews.com/columnists/bob_abelman/
