Houde School of Acting would like to thank Ivan Schwarz for all he has done!
by Jessica Houde 22 Jul '19

22 Jul '19

We would like to extend a HUUUGE thank you to this man, Ivan Schwarz, for everything he has done for the Cleveland, and Ohio, film community. Ivan has just announced he will be resigning as the President of Greater Cleveland Film Commission, effective July 31st, to pursue other ventures. In 2006 Ivan was named the new President and CEO of GCFC and by 2009 Ohio passed the Ohio Motion Picture Tax Credit, largely due to his efforts. From there on out Northeast Ohio quickly became a hotspot for film and television and is still growing rapidly. While we will miss him dearly, we wish him all the best in his new ventures and are excited to seeing the the new work he creates along the way. We look forward to meeting and building a relationship with Evan Miller, who will replace Ivan. Evan has a background as a television and film agent in Los Angeles and we are happy he is bringing his experience to our city. THANK YOU IVAN!!! Sincerely, All of Us at Houde School of Acting

Auditions for HELLO HERMAN
by Avenue Arts Marketplace & Theatre 22 Jul '19

22 Jul '19

Avenue Arts Marketplace & Theatre announces auditions for HELLO HERMAN Located at 324 Cleveland Ave. NW Canton, Ohio 44702 SYNOPSIS: Video games, violent movies, Marilyn Manson, the Internet, Prozac, or fame? What moves a teenager to cross the line and become a high-school shooter? More importantly, how do we stop it? Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist Lax Morales is looking for a follow-up to his groundbreaking undercover piece on white supremacists. Although his video blog has an unprecedented online following among teens, Lax has been written off as Internet trash by the elite of the publishing world. He needs a big story and he knows it. After killing thirty-nine students and three teachers in a suburban Iowa school, sixteen-year-old Herman Howards takes the time to email video clips of the incident to his idol, Lax. He adds one line to the clips: "I want to tell my story on your show." The public pushes for Herman's televised execution as Lax conducts three days of interviews, using every tool at his disposal to discover what drives the current poster-boy for evil. HELLO HERMAN is a mind-blowing examination of how tragic events like Columbine and Virginia Tech continue to happen in our country. No stone is left unturned as Lax searches for an answer to the question everyone's been asking but no one has been able to find: Why? Hello Herman is presented by special arrangement with Dramatists Play Service, Inc., New York. Directed by: Christopher Bizub Auditions will be held on Tuesday, August 27th and Wednesday, August 28th from 7-9pm Callbacks (if necessary) will take place on August 29th.
