20 Aug '19

Tickets Now on Sale for The Wadsworth Footlighters Production Of: Steel Magnolias By: Robert Harling September 12th - 15th, 2019 Thursday, Friday, and Saturday at 7:30pm Sunday at 2:30pm At Concordia At Sumner (970 Sumner Parkway, Copley, OH 44321) Tickets: $10.00 For All Ages (Available at Door or online [wadsworthfootlighters.com] (Online Service Fees Apply) Featuring: Alexis Mann as Truvy MaryBeth Knode as Annelle Lexi Frendak as Shelby Jaclyn Phelps as Ouiser Kim Pickard as M'Lynn Lisa Mortensen as Clairee Vickie Jackson as Radio DJ Production Staff: Brenton Cochran - Director Diane Frendak - Production Manager Matthew Wilks - Stage Manager Synopsis: The action is set in Truvy's beauty salon in Chinquapin, Louisiana, where all the ladies who are "anybody" come to have their hair done. Helped by her eager new assistant, Annelle (who is not sure whether or not she is still married), the outspoken, wise-cracking Truvy dispenses shampoos and free advice to the town's rich curmudgeon, Ouiser, ("I'm not crazy, I've just been in a bad mood for forty years"); an eccentric millionaire, Miss Clairee, who has a raging sweet tooth; and the local social leader, M'Lynn, whose daughter, Shelby (the prettiest girl in town), is about to marry a "good ole boy." Filled with hilarious repartee and not a few acerbic but humorously revealing verbal collisions, the play moves toward tragedy when, in the second act, the spunky Shelby (who is a diabetic) risks pregnancy and forfeits her life. The sudden realization of their mortality affects the others, but also draws on the underlying strength—and love—which give the play, and its characters, the special quality to make them truly touching, funny and marvelously amiable company in good times and bad. Steel Magnolias By: Robert Harling is presented with special arrangement with Dramatists Play Service.

Auditions NEXT WEEK: Hello Herman at Avenue Arts Marketplace & Theatre
by Avenue Arts Marketplace & Theatre 20 Aug '19

20 Aug '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: Emerson Thoenen Auditions will be held on Tuesday, August 27th and Wednesday, August 28th from 7-9pm Callbacks (if necessary) will take place on August 29th.
