10 Jul '19

*Clague Playhouse* *Red Barn Youth Theater * *Auditions: Wednesday, June 5 at 7pm* *Production Dates:* July 26-28, 2019 on Friday and Saturday at 7pm and Sunday at 2pm *Pajama Party* Directed by Richie Lynch *Roles Available: *10 females - age 8-12 *Rehearsals: * Tuesday and Thursday, June 11-July 25 from 6-8pm *About the Play:* It starts off as the usual slumber party, complete with a scary ghost story and a parade of pajama costumes. Then a police car starts prowling the neighborhood in search of the Blue Light Burglar. And then comes the mystery girl! *A Guide to the Teenage Zone* Directed by Greg Dziama *Roles Available:* 5 males and 8 females - age 12-15 *Rehearsals:* Monday and Wednesday, June 12-July 25 from 6-8pm *About the Play:* This is a light-hearted look at young teenagers who are still part child, yet emerging adults. A guide leads us into the everyday world of a group of 12 to17 teenagers starting early in the morning. We follow them to school, back home again and end with late-night phone calls reviewing events of the day as a new dawn approaches. In eight rich scenes, we see sophisticated, yet simple interactive relationships working together: Good Morning!, The Bus Stop, Homeroom, First Period, Lunch, The Bus Ride, The Afternoon, and Evenings and Telephones. Sometimes teens that seem a bit uninterested in their current life circumstance emerge as late bloomers. Regardless, teens come up with brilliant ideas and questions about life as they grow into adulthood. This play highlights some of this transition. Open auditions will be cold readings from the script. Please bring a headshot and resume, if available. If not, a photo will be taken as needed. Please visit www.clagueplayhouse.org to download and print an audition form <http://clagueplayhouse.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/ClagueAuditionForm18-…>.

03 Jul '19

*Lakeland Theatre* *Announces Auditions* * for * *The Inspector General* By *Nikolai Gogol* Directed by *Martin Friedman* Sound Designed by *Eric Simna * Lighting Designed by *Marcus Dana* Costumes Designed by *Jordan Cooper * *The Play:* This play is the epitome of a satire. Hollywood made a movie with Danny Kaye that bore no resemblance to the play. Written in 1836 in Russia, by Nikolai Gogol, The Inspector General is a comedy of errors that ridicules political corruption, local corruption and corruption at all levels; this play lampoons everybody and everything. I need actors that are ready take these characters as far as they can without be untrue. Truth is always funnier than fake news. *ALL AGES, GENDERS, AND ETHNITICITES ARE ENCOURGED TO AUDITION.* *The Plot: **The corrupt officials of a small town, headed by the Mayor, react with terror to the news that an undercover inspector will soon be arriving in their town to investigate them. The Mayor, after years of shaking down all the crooked city department heads himself, is freaked out. As the public officials all try to cover up their misdeeds, a suspicious person has arrived and is staying at the local hotel. That person, however, is not an inspector, but a smart guy on the take. Sick and tired of the Mayor’s demand for bribes, the department heads try to buy off the griffter with the Mayor’s wife and daughter also trying to get in the act. * *Audition Information and Dates:* *Auditions will take place on Monday and Tuesday, July 8 and 9, 2019 between 7:00 and 9:00 PM in the Performing Arts Center. No reservations or monologues are needed. Sorry, no Equity Contracts for this one. **This is an open audition. All roles are paid except if you are under 18 years of age; sorry.* *Production and Rehearsal Dates:* *The Inspector General **will open on Friday, September 13 and run through Sunday, September 29, 2019. There will be nine (9) shows; that is THREE (3) weeks of performances. * *Rehearsals will begin in early August. We will work around vacations and Labor Day.* For more information please feel free to contact me, Martin Friedman at martinfriedman98(a)gmail.com or at 216/233-5441. *THE ROLES:* *The Family* *The Mayor: Anton Antonovich**: * *The Mayor’s wife: Anna Andreyevna: * *The Mayor’s daughter: Maria Antonovna**: * *The City Officials* *The School Superintendent:** On the take.

Review of "33 1/3" at Dobama Theatre
by Bob Abelman 29 Jun '19

29 Jun '19

Dobama spins a delicate coming-of-age tale in world premiere musical ‘33 1/3’ Bob Abelman Cleveland Jewish News, The News Herald, The Morning Journal In Noël Coward’s 1930 comedy of manners “Private Lives,” music plays a crucial role when the brilliant dialogue cannot carry all the emotional weight of the storytelling. So much so that one of the characters casually remarks: “Extraordinary how potent cheap music is.” This sentiment drives Jay Turvey and Paul Sportelli’s new musical “33 1/3,” which re-imagines the jukebox musical such that pop music becomes the subject matter and not the accompanying score. And it does so with endearing sentimentality, a subtle sense of humor, and a remarkable delicacy that draws the audience into its nostalgic world and keeps us there in a gentle embrace.

by Roy Berko 28 Jun '19

28 Jun '19

*•••••••••••••••••••••••••••* *Capsule judgment: “33 1/3,” in its world premiere at Dobama, is a work in progress. It will be interesting to see what, if any changes the authors make as the piece moves forward. You might want to see it here, so you can say “I saw it in its infancy.” * *To read the entire review go to: **www.royberko.info* <http://www.royberko.info>*. ** To read the capsule judgements of the other Cleveland reviewers go to: **www.clevelandtheaterreviews.com* <http://www.clevelandtheaterreviews.com> *••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••*
