Costumes for Sale - Indiana Jones and Friends!
by Sparano, Jenniver 13 Jan '20

13 Jan '20

Flashes of Hope, a charitable organization dedicated to celebrating and supporting pediatric cancer patients while also funding research for a cure, partnered with the Cleveland Cavaliers in October the annual "Big Shots & Little Stars" fundraiser. The theme of the evening was the Adventures of Indiana Jones, and a number of costumes that were made or purchased for the event are available for sale! Perfect for cosplay, ComicCon, the John Williams/Cleveland Orchestra concert on April 26, or next Halloween (it's never too early)! The costumes include character replica costumes as well as some more generic outfits inspired by the settings of the four films. The female costumes were made to fit teen/adult women, and each measures between 5'5" and 5'11" tall, with waist sizes ranging from 26" - 30" and bust sizes ranging from 34" - 39"; I can provide specific measurements for each costume on inquiry. Sizes are noted for the male costumes. You can see the costumes in action on the Cavs.com video coverage of "Big Shots & Little Stars 2019," or I can provide photos. All of the costumes were worn for a few hours at the event, so they are used -- but you'd never know it, they are in next-to-new condition! We just don't have the room to store them, and would love to see them go to good homes where they will get to be worn. All proceeds go to Flashes of Hope (www.flashesofhope.org<http://www.flashesofhope.org>), so you can get a great costume while making a contribution to fight cancer. The following film replica costumes are available: * Indiana Jones - beige safari shirt (about 15.5-33), khaki trousers (33/32), real leather jacket, satchel, and bullwhip; all clothes are distressed: $100 * Dr. Henry Jones, Sr. - white shirt (18-33), three-piece brown tweed wool suit (originally from Brooks Brothers, 46S), blue bow tie, thin belt worn over the vest, and bucket hat: $75 * Mola Ram - black trousers with attached overskirt (elastic waist), black/red reversible drape, black wide sash, three necklaces (sadly, many of the claws on the claw necklace are broken) and rubber heart: $75 * Grail Knight - metal chain mail leggings and coif (headpiece), quilted velveteen tunic with Brotherhood of the Cruciform Sword logo, fleece cape with logo on left side, black leather gloves with chain mail and metal plates: $100 * Marion Ravenwood - red rayon trousers with elastic at ankles, embroidered white blouse (imported from Romania), and maroon print sash: $100 (this is the same blouse pattern as worn by Karen Allen; if you have looked for it on-line, you know what a steal this price is) * Willie Scott, "Anything Goes" - red and gold sequined gown with high neck, short sleeves, and cutaway back: $80 * Willie Scott, Sacrifice - white chiffon full skirt with attached trousers underneath and silver sequined trim, matching choli (tight, cropped bodice), artificial flower garland, headpiece of white artificial flowers and chiffon veil: $75 The jewelry to go with it (three necklaces, pierced earrings, double-chain belt, tikka, and wide cuff bracelet - all silvertone, all imported from India) is also available for $60. * Col. Irina Spalko -- grey suiting-weight jodphurs and matching tunic with actual Soviet uniform buttons, black belt with goldtone Soviet buckle: $75 The following costumes don't appear in the films, but were inspired by the culture and traditions of the four continents where the films are set: * The Spirit of Africa - Egyptian beadnet sheath dress made of glass beads over a cocoa-brown lining, Egyptian beaded collar with lime green silk cape attached, goldtone metal crown with uraeus (that's the name of that snake that's on the front of Egyptian headpieces): $75 * The Spirit of Asia - silver/purple sequined lace choli with purple satin bra top, matching trousers with a fitted yoke and legs of draped, beaded fabric: $70 * The Spirit of Europe - grey metal-look vinyl "armor" corset with attached chiffon sleeves, blue/white layered chiffon skirt, and sweet Valkyrie helmet: $75 * The Spirit of South America - short red skirt with "gold" accessories made of gold fabric glued to ¼" foam with jewel trim; includes belt with piece in front (fits 38" waist), circular collar, bicep bands and wristbands with chiffon drape, and large semi-circular Incan crown headpiece - this was made for a man, but add your own top and it could be worn by anyone: $70 We've also got costumes from prior years available - past themes have included Harry Potter (Harry, Ron, Golden Snitch, Gryffindor showgirl all available), Alice in Wonderland (Red Queen, Queen of Hearts, March Hare, Blue Butterfly), Star Wars (Princess Leia's medal ceremony gown, Rey's Jakku ensemble), Motown (2 different sets of three Supremes costumes), James Bond (Honey Ryder, Pussy Galore, Wei Lin) and Willy Wonka (Candy Corn, Hershey's Kiss and Starlight Mint-themed showgirls).

13 Jan '20

French Creek Theatre<https://www.loraincountymetroparks.com/theatre> is pleased to announce auditions for... And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie Directed by Chris Bizub Ten strangers arrive on an isolated island after receiving mysterious invitations. Stranded by a violent storm, their holiday soon turns deadly as scandalous secrets are revealed, and one-by-one they begin to die. As a children's nursery rhyme counts down the murders, it's up to the guests to discover the killer before none are left. PERFORMANCES April 24-May 10, 2020 Fridays & Saturdays @ 7:30PM Sundays @ 3:00PM AUDITIONS Sunday, February 9th & Monday, February 10th 7:00PM - 9:30PM OPEN CALL (no appointment necessary) CALLBACKS Sunday, February 16th 7:00PM - 9:30PM PREPARATION Resume and headshot required Auditions will consist of readings from the script For more information contact director Chris Bizub<mailto:cmb164@zips.uakron.edu> All actors cast receive a stipend. CAST REQUIREMENTS 11 Roles - 8 M, 3 F Must be 18 years or older Anthony James Marston - a handsome but amoral and irresponsible young man, who killed two young children while driving recklessly, for which he feels no remorse and accepts no personal responsibility. (M, 20s) Mrs Rogers- the cook/housekeeper and Thomas Rogers' wife, a pale and ghost-like woman who walks in mortal fear. (F, 40s+) General John Gordon MacArthur - a retired World War I war hero, who sent his late wife's lover (a younger officer, Arthur Richmond) to his death by assigning him to a mission where it was practically guaranteed he would not survive. (M, 50s+) Rogers - the butler and Ethel Rogers' husband. He dominates his weak-willed wife, and they killed their former employer by withholding her medicine, causing the woman to die from heart failure, thus inheriting the money she bequeathed them in her will. (M, 40s+) Emily Caroline Brent - an elderly, pious spinster who accepts the vacation on Soldier Island largely due to financial constraints. Years earlier, she had dismissed her teenage maid for becoming pregnant out of wedlock. Beatrice, who had already been rejected by her parents for the same reason, drowned herself, which Miss Brent considered an even worse sin. (F, 50s+) Dr Edward George Armstrong - a fussy doctor, responsible for the death of a patient after he operated on her while drunk many years earlier. (M, 40s+) William Henry Blore - a former police inspector and now a private investigator. Blore arrives under the alias "Davis" from South Africa, on the island for "security work." (M, Late 30s - 40s) Philip Lombard - a soldier of fortune. Lombard is accused of causing the deaths of a number of East African tribesmen, after stealing their food and abandoning them to their deaths. (M, 30s-40s) Vera Elizabeth Claythorne - a cool, efficient, resourceful young woman who is on leave from her position as a sports mistress at a third-rate girls' school. (F, 20s-30s) Justice Wargrave - a retired judge, known as a "hanging judge" for liberally awarding the death penalty in murder cases. (M, 50s+) Fred Narracott - the boatman who delivers the guests to the island. (M, 30s-50s) "And Then There Were None" is presented by special arrangement with Samuel French, Inc., a Concord Theatricals Company.
