Audition for The Addams Family June 27, 28, 29
by Bailey Pfohl 10 Jun '19

10 Jun '19

The Addams Family At Near West Theatre Fall Youth Production, Ages 9 - 15 Show Run: Sep 20 - Oct 6 Performances: Sep 20, 21, 27, 28, 29, Oct 3, 4, 5, 6 Auditions: June 27, 28, 29, 6 - 9pm ABOUT THE SHOW In the kooky, upside-down world of the Addams Family, nothing is ever what is to be expected or adored, nonetheless, this quirky family still has to deal with many of the same challenges faced by any other family, and the spookiest nightmare faced by every family creates this ruckus of a musical: the Addams kids are growing up. The Addams's have lived by their unique values for hundreds of years and Gomez and Morticia, the patriarch and matriarch of the clan, would be only too happy to continue living that way. Their dark, macabre, beloved daughter Wednesday, however, is ready for a life of her own. She has fallen in love with Lucas Beineke, a sweet, smart boy from a normal, respectable Ohio family - the most un-Addams sounding person one could be! And to make matters worse, she has invited the Beinekes to their home for dinner. In one fateful, hilarious night, secrets are disclosed, relationships are tested, and the Addams family must face up to the one horrible thing they've managed to avoid for generations: change. ABOUT THE AUDITION Please arrive 15 minutes early to register. Auditions begin promptly at the designated time. Anyone arriving after the starting time will be asked to audition at the next scheduled day. Near West Theatre holds group auditions in a relaxed and friendly environment. No preparation or preregistration is required. Actors of all experience levels are led through multiple improvisational exercises providing every participant equal opportunity to create through word, movement, and song. Please wear comfortable clothing and shoes for dancing so you can move easily. Auditions focus on the creative process, not the product; on working as an ensemble, not solo. After this first level audition, callbacks will focus on individual roles/songs and working from the script.

Review of "Mamma Mia!" at Mercury
by Bob Abelman 10 Jun '19

10 Jun '19

Mercury offers an infectious but undistinguished ‘Mamma Mia!’ Bob Abelman Cleveland Jewish News, The News Herald, The Morning Journal The question to ask theatergoers these days is not “have you seen ‘Mamma Mia!” but “how many times?” The ABBA-based jukebox musical was performed on 5,773 occasions on Broadway between 2001 and 2015, has reached over 60 million people through national and international tours that stopped six times at Playhouse Square, and is popping up everywhere on professional and community stages now that the amateur licensing rights have been released. Three local productions of “Mamma Mia!” will be playing this weekend, including this one by the Mercury Theatre Company with director Pierre-Jacques Brault and musical director Eddie Carney at the helm. In truth, this paper-thin storyline is merely a vehicle to string together 26 of Abba’s caffeinated and highly synthesized ‘70’s disco tunes, which often erupt with very little if any provocation. But the songs are remarkably infectious, the characters who sing them are simply drawn and very endearing, and the romantic moral at the end of the story – that true love comes but once in a lifetime – brings back fans for multiple viewings. What has proven elusive in most of the productions of this lightweight entertainment that I’ve experienced is heart – a quality birthed by talent, onstage chemistry and artistic vision that is more than the sum of the formulaic parts found in Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus’ score and Catherine Johnson’s script. While the good folks at Mercury are loaded with talent, their efforts never manage to rise above the material. For more of this review, go to: www.clevelandjewishnews.com/columnists/bob_abelman/
