Whether you’re creating for YouTube, Instagram, or TikTok, it’s easier than ever to take on the roles of producer, writer, and editor - all in one! But knowing where to start can sometimes be overwhelming. Over this 6 week course, I will take you through practical steps to write, shoot, and edit a comedy video that showcases your talents, gives your confidence a boost, and jumpstarts your online comedy portfolio. This course is for anyone who wants to write, create, and star in their own content - no prior experience necessary! All you need is a smartphone, a tripod, and basic editing software such as iMovie. (There are other free programs you can find online). You will get a crash course in comedic structure, work your idea out in a virtual writers room, and get writing, performance, and editing feedback from the instructor. At the end of six weeks, you will come out with a polished video you can proudly upload into the virtual world, and the power to continue making quality videos on your own. BIO Michael Busch spent 15 years in LA working in comedy as an actor, writer, and producer. He has produced and written digital content with millions of views for places such as FunnyorDie, CollegeHumor, Comedy Central, AwesomenessTV, and Defy Media.

THE MIRROR EFFECT by Oana Leuca - Thu, Nov 19 @ 7pm
by Playwrights Local 06 Nov '20

06 Nov '20

Playwrights Local Presents A Free Reading of a New Play THE MIRROR EFFECT Written by Oana Leuca Directed by Christine McBurney *Thursday, November 19 at 7:00 pm* *Presented Online via Zoom* INFO & ZOOM ACCESS http://www.playwrightslocal.org/fall-roundtable-series-2020/ FEATURING Tammy Shanley Lana Sugarman Sheena D. Robertson Heidi Hackney Nadia Tarnawsky Samantha Cocco Molly McFadden SYNOPSIS The Mirror Effect presents Amanda Reis, a self-searching female writer who explores her inner life through language and disguise. Her story is inspired by the lives and work of other female artists (Sylvia Plath, Virginia Woolf, Anne Sexton, Marylin Monroe, etc.). Her poetic monologue is an astronaut’s shout in space, a place where sound waves can’t travel. She is a clown afraid of clowns, an actress trying to free herself from her persona. ABOUT THE PLAYWRIGHT Oana Leuca is a Romanian-born poet and playwright. She immigrated to the USA in 2018 and is currently pursuing her MFA in playwriting through the NEOMFA. At the 2020 NEOMFA Playwrights Festival, convergence-continuum produced one of her plays, Autopoiesis. In April 2020, she won the Leonard Trawick Scholarship in creative writing. ABOUT THE COMPANY Playwrights Local is a theater company in Cleveland. As a playwrights’ center, our goal is to provide a home for dramatic writing in Northeast Ohio. We offer classes and workshops, produce original plays, provide networking opportunities, and engage the community through outreach projects.

Radio recitals
by Terry Smith 06 Nov '20

06 Nov '20

Please post on NEOHIOPAL. Thank you. I recently found out my proposal for a radio show of my own has been approved. To kick it off, join this Sunday, November 8th, from 6-7PM, on AM 1420, or listen live at whkradio.com. <http://whkradio.com/?fbclid=IwAR3YaIm4aBEmx5KNkBeAgTxzKl0DEvR_EaNJHAnEjvEaQ…> The shows will consist of 'guests' such as Patrick Henry, Jefferson, Washington, Douglass, Lincoln, Churchill, FDR, Patton, JFK, RFK, MLK, Reagan; Gehrig, Lombardi, Ali, and others, with a dash of Shakespeare for good measure. I will give a short intro to each memorized speech, then transition to the next speech with just a few measures of music I will be playing live on my digital piano in studio. Title of the show: One to Many - No Dupes The theme of the shows is Freedom - works by men and women who fight for it, with sword and with pen, what we do with our freedom (business, sports, arts, lifestyle), and what it's like NOT to have it (Douglass). Great words that apply in all ages. See how one person can influence many others and vice versa. Gather your spouse, kids, grandkids, and friends round the radio for a shot of Patriotism, to see where we've been but more importantly to use the ideas presented to affect the future. Tune in. *Terry Smith* tsmith(a)actingbuff.com
