Additional Auditions for "The Velveteen Rabbit" - 2/28/19
by Adam Bowers 27 Feb '19

27 Feb '19

Broadview Heights Spotlights is holding additional auditions for "The Velveteen Rabbit", Thursday February 28, 2019 at 6:30 p.m. at the Cultural Arts Building in Broadview Heights - 9543 Broadview Road, next to the police station. Those who are interested but cannot attend should email the Director, Brenton Cochran at fashionlovestheatre(a)gmail.com This play will be part of our Theater for Young Audiences (TYA) series, aimed at providing opportunities for children and their families to experience high-quality theater while learning and practicing good audience etiquette. Performances will be held May 4-12, with two performances (afternoon and evening) on each Saturday and one afternoon performance each Sunday. Broadview Heights Spotlights’ Theater for Young Audiences Series is supported in part by the residents of Cuyahoga County through a public grant from Cuyahoga Arts & Culture. Flexible cast of 18 (6M, 5F, plus 7 roles that can be either) This enchanting version of the classic children’s story will touch your heart. Unbeknownst to Andrew’s grumpy nursemaid, there is a life to the playthings on the floor and in the toy cabinet when the lights go out in the nursery Timothy Lion, Train Engine, Skin Horse, Model Boat and Velveteen Rabbit all spring to life. Actors represent the ’spirit’ of each toy-chattering, bickering and sharing their feelings in hilarious and touching interactions. With narration by the tender and grandfatherly Skin Horse Spirit, you’ll laugh and cry along with the characters as they endure the trials and tribulations of their unique experiences-especially the Rabbit Spirit, who learns about love when he gains the affection of the young boy. The raggedy stuffed bunny is with him every moment until Andrew comes down with scarlet fever and the doctor orders all bedding, including the much-loved toy, to be burned. Rabbit Spirit escapes that terrible fate by a ’hare,’ finding himself among the wild rabbits and the beautiful nursery magic fairy. With a late-Victorian flavor in the dialogue and costuming, this adaptation creatively and beautifully renders for the stage the miraculous story of a stuffed animal made real by a child’s love and a little magic.

Closing weekend - THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST at the Allen Theatre!
by Theatre 27 Feb '19

27 Feb '19

------------------------------------------------------ CSU DEPARTMENT OF THEATRE AND DANCE presents THE FINAL WEEKEND of THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST FEBRUARY 28 - MARCH 3, 2019 Written by Oscar Wilde Directed and Adapted by Russ Borski Closing weekend! The Cleveland State University Department of Theatre and Dance<http://www.csuohio.edu/theatre> will present the FINAL WEEKEND of The Importance of Being Earnest from February 28 to March 3 in The Outcalt Theatre. This Oscar Wilde classic ("a trivial comedy for serious people") uses humor to play with themes of society, marriage and relationships in a witty manner. Directed by Russ Borski, this cheeky production is lush with mistaken identities, plot twists and madcap action. Earnest is often categorized as a comedy of manners, using humor and satire to address more serious themes of social standing and inter-personal relationships. "As these issues are underplayed, trivial matters in life such as the choice of eating bread and butter as compared with having cake are given serious discussion," Borski said. "Wilde elevates the simple act of speech to a competitive sport, with verbal sparring turned into an Olympic event." The all CSU cast includes Casie Griffis (Miss Prism), Aaron Levigne (Rev. Canon Chasuble), Steven Livingston (Algernon Moncriff), Matthew Logan (John Worthington), Brooke Myers (Gwendolen Fairfax), Emmett Podgorski (Merriman, Butler), Elizabeth Samsa (Cecily Cardew), Kyle Stehura (Lane, Manservant) and Suzanna Szabados (Lady Bracknell). General show times are Thursdays through Saturdays at 7:30 p.m., and Sundays at 2 p.m. Tickets<http://www.playhousesquare.org/events/detail/the-importance-of-being-earnest> range from $5-$15 and are available for purchase by calling 216.241.6000, visiting playhousesquare.org<http://www.playhousesquare.org/events/detail/the-importance-of-being-earnest> or at the State Theatre Ticket Office located at 1519 Euclid Avenue, Cleveland, OH 44115. Tickets<http://www.playhousesquare.org/events/detail/the-importance-of-being-earnest> are also available 60-minutes prior to performances at the Allen Theatre Complex.
