Audiences and critics are raving about "Noises Off" at Weathervane Playhouse
by Fred Gloor 16 May '19

16 May '19

The second weekend starts tonight, and here are some of the things people are saying about Noises Off at Weathervane Playhouse: "Noises Off" is an excellent production. I can't praise the work of cast, director and crew enough. Don't miss this excellent treat." - The West Side Leader Full West Side Leader Review - http://www.akron.com/akron-ohio-entertainment-news.asp?aID=40710 "A delightful group of polished performers who know how to energetically embody their over-the-top characters. Gloor gleefully stages the show, playing up both the verbal and physical comedy to the hilt. His pacing perfectly escalates throughout the three acts, culminating in complete chaos and heightened hilarity by the end of the evening." - In The Land of Cleve Full In the Land of Cleve review: https://bit.ly/2Vo2Kbf "The cast is wonderful, and the play is nonstop hilarity! I recommend it." - Audience member "Great play, we laughed the entire time. Great cast and crew!" - Audience member Sardines, doors, bags, boxes, words, and us! Weathervane Playhouse presents the uproarious Noises Off AKRON - Get ready to laugh until it hurts as Weathervane Playhouse presents the hilarious farce, Noises Off in our Founders Theater through May 26th. Show times are Thursdays through Saturdays at 7:30 p.m. and Sundays at 2:30 p.m. Tickets are $10 - $22 and can be purchased by calling 330-836-2626 or going to www.weathervaneplayhouse.com<http://www.weathervaneplayhouse.com> Noises Off is the original play gone wrong! Often called the funniest farce ever written, Noises Off is the hilarious play-within-a-play that takes a peek behind the curtain as a crazy troupe of second-rate British theater actors rehearses for a show called Nothing On. Full of side-splitting, laugh-out-loud physical comedy, Noises Off promises a guaranteed good night out at the theater! Audience Advisory: Noises Off contains adult language/situations. This production is directed by Associate Artistic/Marketing Director Fred Gloor, who says "Noises Off may be one of the funniest plays ever written. Despite their best efforts, this intrepid group of performers just can't seem to get it right. I can't claim that there is an enormous meaning in all they endure, but we can all relate to trying our hardest and falling flat. Each one of us is looking for that elusive plate of sardines. It is my hope audiences who come to see Noises Off can forget their cares, sit back, and laugh at someone falling down the stairs." Noises Off is presented through special arrangement with Samuel French, Inc. The videotaping or other video or audio recording of this production is strictly prohibited.

Final weekend for Incredible "Pirates of Penzance" at Hudson Players!
by Durbin, Mark H. 16 May '19

16 May '19

Don't be a "Poor, Wandering One" - Come See This Musical Theatre Classic! Hudson Players Present Gilbert & Sullivan's "The Pirates of Penzance" Or the "The Slave of Duty" Show dates are : May 17 & 18 Showtime 8 pm Barlow Community Center, 41 South Oviatt Street in Hudson Good seats are available at www.hudsonplayers.com<http://www.hudsonplayers.com/?fbclid=IwAR223eSTcoHx2DdQR6P8zjALYIledH6-_NER…> or call the box office at 330-655-8522. The Pirates of Penzance; or, The Slave of Duty, is a comic light opera in two acts, with music by Arthur Sullivan and libretto by W. S. Gilbert, the first superstar songwriting duo in musical theatre history! This show is over one hundred years young! The Hudson Players' version is the one that was presented on Broadway in the early 1980s by Joseph Papp and the New York Public Theatre, starring Linda Ronstadt and Kevin Kline, on which the subsequent movie was also based. Filled with swashbuckling pirates, sweet young lovers, and bumbling policemen, Pirates of Penzance is as popular now as when it premiered at the Fifth Avenue Theatre in New York City on 31 December 1879, where the show was well received by both audiences and critics. Set during the time of Queen Victoria, it involves the dashing young Frederick (played by Logan Soland), an orphan who as a baby was mistakenly apprenticed to a pirate instead of a "pilot." Having reached the age of 21, Frederick is released from his servitude and immediately falls in love with the beauteous Mabel (Anna Popa), daughter of Major General Stanley (Brian O. Jackson). Alas, the young lad learns from his nurse maid Ruth (Norene Jones) that he was born on February 29, which means he only has a birthday in a leap year - once every four years. Since he is a "slave of duty," Frederick realizes he must be a pirate for another 63 years until his obligation is fulfilled, with the chaste Mabel agreeing to wait for him faithfully. Stir in the flamboyant Pirate King (Bradley Hills), his simpleton assistant Samuel (Gary Maher), Mabel's songbird sisters Kate (Jessica West), Edith (Kiara Durbin) and Isabel (Ellie Kelly), the Sergeant of Police (Eric Oswald) and his goofy posse, Pirates of Penzance is a slapstick-filled night of entertainment for the entire family. Other daughters, pirates and constables include Tenley Stitzer, Mike Turle, Mabel Jennings, Megan Kaye, Judah Callahan, Nathan Hill, John Holcepl Sr., Glen Johnston, Jennifer Matas, Jerry Schaber, David Sherman and Jim Wolf. The show is directed by Mavis Jennings, with Ron Jones serving as musical director and Kristian Korsgaard as choreographer. The producers for the show are Dana Harro and Gary Maher. "Poor, Wandering One," "The Pirate King Song," and the pirate song that was later made into "Hail, Hail, The Gang's All Here" are Gilbert & Sullivan classics. Another well-known song from "Pirates of Penzance" is I Am the Very Model of a Modern Major-General (Imagine this being sung very, very fast......now faster!) I am the very model of a modern Major-General In short, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral He is the very model of a modern Major-General In fact, when I know what is meant by "mamelon" and "ravelin" When I can tell at sight a Mauser rifle from a javelin When such affairs as sorties and surprises I'm more wary at And when I know precisely what is meant by "commissariat" When I have learnt what progress has been made in modern gunnery When I know more of tactics than a novice in a nunnery In short, when I've a smattering of elemental strategy Strategy, strategy, strategy, I got it You'll say a better Major-General has never sat a gee You'll say a better Major-General has never sat a gee You'll say a better Major-General has never sat a gee You'll say a better Major-General has never sat a gee For my military knowledge, though I'm plucky and adventury Has only been brought down to the beginning of the century But still, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral I am the very model of a modern Major-General But still, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral He is the very model of a modern Major-General! Make plans now to come hear this song - and many others - in person! You will be impressed!

by Roy Berko 16 May '19

16 May '19

*•••••••••••••••••••••••••••* *Capsule judgment: “Something Rotten” is a theatrical treat…a wonderfully conceived and performed musical farce. Unfortunately, this is the must see musical, only ran for two nights in Akron. But, despair not, Beck Center will be doing their version of the show July 10 – August 9, 2020 (note: 2020).* *To read the entire review go to: **www.royberko.info* <http://www.royberko.info>*. * <http://www.clevelandtheaterreviews.com> *••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••*
