Auditions for "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" & "bare: A Pop Opera" at WRP!
by B W 11 Mar '19

11 Mar '19

"One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" DIRECTED BY CO-ARTISTIC DIRECTOR BRIAN WESTERLEY A charming rogue, McMurphy, contrives to serve a short sentence in an airy mental institution rather than in a prison. There, he clashes with the head nurse, Ratched, a fierce disciplinarian. He quickly takes over the yard & leads others out of introversion, stages a revolt so that they can see the World Series on TV & arranges a rollicking midnight party with liquor & women. Ratched quietly works in the background to stop McMurphy from taking over her ward. The end is as shocking today & it was when it premiered 45 years ago. ROLES AVAILABLE (Some may be doubled. Looking for a range of ages & ethnicities): CHIEF BROMDEN AIDE WARREN AIDE WILLIAMS NURSE RATCHED NURSE FLINN DALE HARDING ELLIS BILLY BIBBIT SCANLON CHESWICK MARTINI RUCKLY FREDERICKS SEFELT COL.

Peter and Jason have fallen in love with each other, but Jason -- a popular athlete -- fears losing his status if he is discovered to be gay. Unpopular Nadia, Jason’s sister, is contemptuous of Ivy, a beautiful girl with a questionable reputation. As the group attempts to put up a production of Romeo and Juliet, tensions flare, self-doubt simmers, and God’s path seems more difficult to find than ever. bare rings with the sounds of youthful repression and revolt. With a unique sung-through pop score, heart-pounding lyrics, and a cast of bright young characters, bare is a provocative, fresh, and utterly honest look at the dangers of baring your soul, and the consequences of continuing to hide.

Irish Play at Spotlights Theater-"Dancing at Lughnasa"
by Annette Phelps 28 Feb '19

28 Feb '19

IRISH PLAY “DANCING AT LUGHNASA” COMING FOR ST. PATRICK’S DAY Brian Friel’s play “Dancing at Lughnasa” will be performed at Broadview Heights Spotlights this spring, running March 8-23. This extraordinary play is the story of five unmarried sisters eking out their lives in a small village in Ireland in 1936. We meet them at the time of the festival of Lughnasa, which celebrates the pagan god of the harvest with drunken revelry and dancing. Their spare existence is interrupted by brief, colorful bursts of music from the radio, their only link to the romance and hope of the world at large. The action of the play is told through the memory of the illegitimate son of one of the sisters as he remembers the five women who raised him: his mother and four maiden aunts. He is only seven in 1936, the year his elderly uncle, a priest, returns after serving for twenty-five years as a missionary in a Ugandan leper colony. For the young boy, two other disturbances occur that summer. The sisters acquire their first radio, whose music transforms them from correct Catholic women to shrieking, stomping banshees in their own kitchen. And he meets his father for the first time, a charming Welsh drifter who strolls up the lane and sweeps his mother away in an elegant dance across the fields. From these small events spring the cracks that destroy the foundation of the family forever. The Spotlights’ production is directed by Rose Leininger, and features a cast including Elizabeth Allard, Tara Corkery, Molly Cornwell, Khaki Hermann, Dan Hunsicker, Kayleigh Joyce, Andrew Keller, and Bob McCoy. Other production staff members include, Clorise Busch (Stage Manager), Karen Johnston (Costumer), Tim Anderson (Technical Director & Set Designer), Adam Bowers and Stephanie Malfara (Co-Producers). Performance dates are March 8 through March 23. Performances will occur on Friday and Saturday evenings at 7:30 PM, and there will be a Sunday matinee on Sunday, March 17 at 3:00 (the perfect show to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day). All performances are held at the Broadview Heights Cultural Arts Building, 9543 Broadview Road in Broadview Heights (next to the police station). Tickets are $15 for adults and $12 for seniors and students. Tickets may be purchased on-line at www.broadview-heights-spotlights.org. The box office will be open ½ hour prior to every show for in-person ticket sales. Note: The theater has space for one wheel chair and the entire first row is on the ground (other rows have 1-4 steps). “Dancing at Lughnasa” is presented in a special arrangement with the Dramatists Play Service.
