Here's a bit of what audiences are saying about The Who's Tommy at Weathervane: "Wonderful vocals and instrumentals. Well directed, choreographed, with great sets and lighting. Glad I went!" "Outstanding preview last night! Great cast, great creative team, great community of artists!" "Fantastic!! Excellent performances by all members of the cast. Go if you can." "GO SEE THIS SHOW - the cast, crew, costumes, and of course the orchestra (especially the guitar players!) put on an OUTSTANDING performance." How do you think he does it? What makes him so good? Weathervane Playhouse is set to take you on an "Amazing Journey" as we present the original rock opera, The Who's Tommy, September 12th through the 29th in our Founders Theater. Show times are Thursdays through Saturdays at 7:30 p.m. and Sundays at 2:30 p.m. Tickets are $11 -$27 and can be purchased by calling 330-836-2626 or by visiting www.weathervaneplayhouse.com<http://www.weathervaneplayhouse.com> About the Show: Based on the iconic 1969 rock concept album, The Who's Tommy is an exhilarating story of hope, healing, and the human spirit. The story of the pinball-playing, deaf, dumb, and blind boy who triumphs over his adversities has inspired, amazed, and puzzled audiences for more than 40 years. Containing such classics as "Go to the Mirror," "Acid Queen," and "Pinball Wizard," this five-time Tony Award-winning musical is a high-energy, one-of-a-kind theatrical event. Synopsis: After witnessing the accidental murder of his mother's lover by his father, Tommy is traumatized into catatonia and, as the boy grows, he suffers abuse at the hands of his sadistic relatives and neighbors. As an adolescent, he's discovered to have an uncanny knack for playing pinball and, when his mother finally breaks through his catatonia, he becomes an international pinball superstar.

Limited Cast Call
by Executive Director 19 Sep '19

19 Sep '19

Limited Cast Call We’ve had great success in identifying several talented NEO actors to fill most of the roles for our film project. However, there are four (4) roles unfilled. Please see below for details. Audition location: Electronic Submission (Resume, Head to Waist, Links to Clips) to: madvistaproductions(a)gmail.com Shooting location: Cleveland, Ohio Audition date: Open Shooting date: November 3, 2019 (half-day shoot for talent listed below) Payment details: Modest Compensation (Trailer: $25 cash/$50 deferred). Ultra Low SAG equivalent + referrals (Feature: $75 cash/$50 deferred). Production title: The Here & Now Production type: Feature Film/Trailer Logline: An up-and-coming millennial learns the hard way the importance of respect as his community resists the relentless assault of a Machiavellian-corporation and its Black Widow leader. Unfilled roles: Teddy Carpenter (male, 55+) a wise, OG, who understood the game back in the day and played it skillfully, discretely and successfully. Mr. Carpenter appreciates fine women, a good scotch and well-made clothes. He understands his best days are behind him, understands power, but is uncompromising in his commitment to the anchors of the community, church, family, good neighbors and the underground economy of the Black community. Physical Characteristics: African-American/Latino Sam Suarez (male, 55+), Teddy Carpenter's faithful friend, Sam has the looks, but his humility and loyalty to Teddy masked him understanding his innate charisma. A slim “teddy bear” and somewhat oblivious to the subtle (and not so subtle) ways of women, he will pull a knife in a second and slice a foe down to the bone. Physical Characteristics: African-American/Latino. Nuclear (male/female, 27+) internationally-renowned disk jockey. An introverted, fringe character. He/she is serious about his/her deejaying and though introverted and reclusive, will stop at nothing to maintain his/her position at the top of the DJ community. Physical Characteristics: Exotic or Fringe-look. Very basic (or willing to learn) DJaying skills. Johnny Ales (male, 45+) has been working the door of the Greens since 18. Gets along with everybody, has an easy laugh, quick offensive jokes, but can take down a polar bear if he has to, which is rare. Physical Characteristics: Tall or bear-like, funny/comedic.

Only two more chances to see the hilarious comedy, Death Defying Acts!
by Nicole Romo 19 Sep '19

19 Sep '19

"The world is full of deliciously overwrought basket cases" Dunamis Theatre brings a night of mischievous fun with the dark comedy, Death Defying Acts written by David Mamet, Wood Allen, and Elaine May. These effervescent one-act comedies embody the playwright's distinctive voices uniting a theme of late-20th-century urban desperation that prompts everything from benign smiles to belly laughs. Under the direction of guest director Chris Bizub this night of theatre is not to be missed. Who needs Broadway when we have off-off Broadway in ....Akron! Shows are Sept 20.and 21 at 8pm at The Center. Where else can you find three different one act plays in one night?! DATE: September 20 and 21 TIME: Performances are at 8pm PLACE: The Center 118 W.Market St. Akron, Ohio 44308 PRICE: Only $15 at the door and online at dunamistheatreboxoffice. ticketleap.com/death-defying-acts/ CAST: Director: Chris Bizub Dr.Rusell/Carol; Amy Balsinger Attorney/Ken/Sam: Dylan Gregory Attendant/Marty/Howard: Casey McCann Dorothy/Phyllis: Mia Radabaugh Delivery Girl/Juliet: Rebecca Semancik ABOUT THE SHOW: This long-running Off Broadway hit features the work of three gifted playwrights. David Mamet's An Interview is an oblique, mystifying interrogation. A sleazy lawyer is forced to answer difficult questions and to admit the truth about his life and career. The why and where of the interrogation provide a surprise ending to this brilliant twenty minute comedy. In Hotline by Elaine May, a neurotic woman with enough urban angst to fill a neighborhood calls a suicide crisis hotline late one night. The counselor who gets the call is overwhelmed - it is his first night on the job. This dark and desperate, wildly funny forty minute piece ends Act 1. A well to do psychiatrist has just discovered that her best friend is having an affair with her husband in Woody Allen's wildly comic second act, Central Park West. She has invited the friend over for a confrontation after getting thoroughly soused. Meanwhile, the husband is about to run off with a college student. Central Park West provides an hour of constant hilarity. -- *Nici Romo* Managing Artistic Director Dunamis Theatre -- *Nici Romo* Managing Artistic Director Dunamis Theatre
