Review of The Taming of the Shrew at Great Lakes Theatre
by Laura Kennelly 09 Apr '19

09 Apr '19

Director Sara Bruner’s *The Taming of the Shrew* at the Hanna Theatre brings a welcome fresh look, lots of insight, and — most importantly — plenty of laughs (it is, after all, a comedy). This Great Lakes production of the Shakespeare classic also boasts a dynamic cast, one that speaks clearly enough for jokes to be funny and moves quickly enough to keep us involved.[.....] Rather than a battle between the sexes (or even stereotypes) as some directors would show it, Bruner shows us a battle between a very angry, rude woman (Katherine) who resents her situation and a self-confident adventurer (Petruchio) who wants to better his lot in life by marrying “up.” Bianca’s suitor, the dashing Hortensio (Eric Damon Smith) tells Petruchio the situation, but warns him Katherine is “difficult.” No problem, Petruchio says.

TREE OF OEDIPUS final wknd at Playhouse Square! (CSU Theatre & Dance)
by Theatre 09 Apr '19

09 Apr '19

---------------------------------------------------- CSU PRESENTS THE NORTH AMERICAN PREMIERE OF TREE OF OEDIPUS FINAL WEEKEND - APRIL 11-14!!! American sign Language Performance on THURS., April 11! The Cleveland State University Department of Theatre and Dance<https://www.csuohio.edu/class/theatre-dance/theatre-dance> will present the final weekend of the North American and English language premiere of Tree of Oedipus from April 11 to 14 in The Helen Rosenfeld Lewis Bialosky Lab Theatre at Playhouse Square. This new play, developed by the Alpha Idea Theatre in Athens, Greece, follows the lineage of Oedipus, from Cadmus, the first man and founder of Thebes, through the story of Oedipus' fall and redemption, to the deadly civil war between his sons, and the final battle between Creon and Antigone. Compiled from several ancient Greek tragedies, including The Phoenicians, Oedipus Tyrannus, Oedipus at Colonus, Antigone, and Seven Against Thebes, this sweeping story is told by an ensemble of actors, and features classical acting, song, dance, vaudeville, clowning, acrobatics, and combat which combine into an exciting theatrical explosion. "I saw the production in Athens several years ago and was blown away by the passion and power of the performances, set design and costumes," says Michael Mauldin, professor of theatre at CSU and director of the production. "When it came time for the faculty to select productions for this season, Tree of Oedipus seemed perfectly suited for our department, which has been known historically for its daring, enterprise, and fearlessness in producing nontraditional theatrical fare." The all CSU cast includes: Anthony Brown (Oedipus/Guard 2), Jordan Ficyk (Cadmus/Tireseas/Voskos), Alyssa Jacobs (Jocasta/Guard 1), Christina Katsaras (Messenger/Chorus), Sullivan Ratcliff (Eteocles/Haemon/Agelos), Madelyn Voltz (Antigone/Messenger), Kamry Williams (Ismene/Messenger), and Eric Wloszek (Creon/Polynices/Theseus). The overall look of the production transports Oedipus from ancient Greece to a 2000's "steam punk" environment, further accentuating the play's Avant Gard, modern vibe. In addition, the set will be configured to mirror a traditional Greek amphitheater which presents productions in the theater-in-the-round style. General show times are Thursdays through Saturdays at 7:30 p.m., and Sundays at 2 p.m. Tickets range from $5-$15 and are available for purchase by calling 216.241.6000, visiting playhousesquare.org<https://tickets.playhousesquare.org/online/default.asp?doWork::WScontent::l…> or at the State Theatre Ticket Office. Tickets are also available 60-minutes prior to performances at the Allen Theatre Complex. There will be an American Sign Language (ASL) presentation of the performance on Thursday, Apr. 11. This date is presented in conjunction with CSU Disability Services, and patrons can get $5 off a general admissions ticket with the code "ASL" when ordering. ----------------------------------------------------

MaDaCol Concert
by Meredith Bruch 09 Apr '19

09 Apr '19

The Department of Dance at Case Western Reserve University is pleased to announce this spring’s production of MaDaCol (Mather Dance Collective) presented on April 18 and 19 at 8:00 p.m. and April 20 at 7:00 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. Performances will feature new dance works by graduate students Brandon Gregoire and Yuting Zhao, undergraduate Amanda Lindamood, and the return of a work by CWRU alumna Ziying Cui. MaDaCol, one of the university’s oldest undergraduate student organizations, offers an important creative outlet for CWRU graduate and undergraduate students, faculty, staff, and the greater Cleveland community members. About the Works: Set to a dramatic composition by Silvestre Revueltas, Yuting Zhao’s Vicissitudes looks into the past to shed light on moments when a group of people interact with each other. There is solidarity, but also exclusion, and manipulation. Though you never know, by the end of the day, how much or how little is within control. Brandon Gregoire’s new work, HELLION, explores dynamics shifts within a group of people. Within this group emerges an individual with a mischievous personality and selfish agenda to make the group partake in a different movement quality. Little does this individual know, the group will morph and change as one, leaving the ‘hellion’ to fall behind and be forgotten. Resonance is a quintet choreographed by Amanda Lindamood for her senior creative capstone project in dance, set to music by composer Gyorgy Ligeti. This is an abstract work in three sections featuring a solo done by the choreographer. Returning to the MaDaCol stage, CWRU alumna Ziying Cui’s Poem of “Drum” is set to a percussion composition by Hok-Man Yim wherein drumbeats represent spiritual guidance and the strong and intense beat in our hearts. Tickets and Location: All performances take place at Mather Dance Center located at 11201 Bellflower Road, on the Case Western Reserve University campus. All tickets are $7 and may be purchased at Mather Dance Center prior to each performance. Only cash or check are accepted upon purchase. Early arrival is suggested due to limited seating. No reservations and no advance sales will be made. For more information, please visit dance.case.edu.

Cleveland is the first stop before the production embarks on a world tour. Auditions Saturday, April 13. 11a to 1p. Send an email clevelandcasting(a)gmail.com for an appointment time. Main Character descriptions (more characters and details may be found on Clevelandcasting.com) Main Characters: Hattie Clark (female, 17-33) the story begins when Hattie is 17 years old. She’s a very smart girl with two major problems; low self-esteem and her mother. (Must be African-American, of dark complexion, Size 8-11 or so and willing to give up your life through May 25 – (This role is cast, but needs a great understudy) Naomi (female 17-33) she’s Hattie’s best friend who happens to be the daughter of a preacher. She’s more attractive than Hattie, but certainly not as book smart. (Must be able to sing and be uninhibited when it comes to acting, as she has a really physical scene with Hattie when she is working hard to save her life. Delores Mae Clark(female, late 30’s) she’s mean and addicted and “Damn” should be her middle name. All Delores cares about is getting high and having a good time. Yet somehow, you still manage to like her! (This role is cast but could use a great understudy). CJ (male, 25 to late 30’s) he’s a slick dude who supplies Delores’s drugs while pretending to love her, so she’ll continue to break the law for him. (Average build, doubles as a stage hand in Act 3) Bowtee (male, 40’s to mid-50’s) this sharply dressed man is the owner of his own bar and has a special affection for his dishonest barmaid; Delores Mae Clark. Bowtee is a charming and kind man with southern charm. Eddie (male 17-19) he’s a real cutie pie, but he’s a typical boy who uses Hattie for sex. He goes from charming and convincing to down right verbally abusive in let’s say….one missed period. (must be 5’8” or more, doubles as a stage hand in Act 3, could be one of the dancers in the bar scene or an extra) Narrators: Ariele (female, 15-19) typical teenager at the crossroads of her life.
