AUDITION NOTICE: My Mother****** College Life at Avenue Arts Marketplace & Theatre

My Mother#*!^%#! College Life Auditions Avenue Arts Marketplace & Theatre announces auditions for MY MOTHER#*!^%#! COLLEGE LIFE Located at 324 Cleveland Ave. NW Canton, Ohio 44702 SYNOPSIS:What’s in the minds and hearts of college students today? In 40 monologues and a few dialogues, this multicultural ensemble questions everything they encounter: social justice and gender identity, self-awareness and relationship boundaries, future prospects and roommate etiquette. What emerges is a humorous and heartbreaking portrait of a new generation struggling with higher education’s promise of “personal transformation.” Structured in three acts, the play begins with matriculation and ends with graduation. The monologues in Act I, titled “Great Expectations,” focus on encounters with new friends, financial aid, antidepressants, homework, sex, sleep deprivation and courses in physics and math. Act II, “Paradise Lost,” features parties, budding and broken relationships, unexpected encounters with race and religion, sexual orientation and hitting rock bottom. Act III, “Metamorphoses,” portrays students emerging from four years of challenge and change with surprising insights, political convictions and plans for a scary, uncertain future. The mixture of serious and comedic monologues captures the extreme difficulty—sometimes absurd and at other times overwhelming—of self-discovery and community-building. While the monologues convey the sense that students often feel alone in their quest for great success or simply survival, the ensemble itself presents a very different truth—at least they’re alone together. My Mother#*!^%#! College Life is produced by special arrangement with THE DRAMATIC PUBLISHING COMPANY of Woodstock, Illinois. Directed by: David Lee Auditions will be held on Tuesday, October 15th and Wednesday, October 16th from 7-9pm Callbacks (if necessary) will take place on Thursday, October 17th.

Winner of three 2009 Tony Awards, including Best Musical Score and the 2010 Pulitzer Prize, Next to Normal was also chosen as "one of the year's ten best shows" by critics around the country, including The Los Angeles Times, The Washington Post, Rolling Stone and The New York Times. Dad's an architect; Mom rushes to pack lunches and pour cereal; their daughter and son are bright, wise-cracking teens, appearing to be a typical American family. And yet their lives are anything but normal because the mother has been battling manic depression for 16 years.

This deeply moving piece of theatre provides a wonderful opportunity for performers to explore dramatic material and showcase vocal talents with an energetic pop/rock score.

Looking for character voice lessons
by Allen White 02 Sep '19

02 Sep '19

Hi, My son-in-law is looking for some guidance in better characterizing different characters in the Dungeons and Dragons sessions he leads, and asked me who gives the kinds of lessons that could help. (We're on the southwest side of Cleveland, and he works in Akron.) I told him to check the classes at the Beck Center, and to look for improv classes, as that'll help him in what he's trying to do, but thought I'd put this out there to see if there are other ideas that could help him out. Thanks. Allen --- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG. https://www.avg.com
