UPDATE ON ACTOR FACTORY OHIO acting classes
by Actor Factory 21 Nov '20

21 Nov '20

Happy Holidays!! ACTOR FACTORY OHIO is still instructing actors in the pandemic! Don't let this down time get the best of you. Come out of it with something accomplished! It's forecast that more than likely filming and productions may resume in Cleveland (and abroad) next Spring 2021. STAY READY & YOU WON'T HAVE TO GET READY! Here's our overview schedule for you to continue your progress with ACTOR FACTORY OHIO. November/December - No acting classes until pandemic calms down--video classes were an option but for AFO in person is the way for acting classes. Don't fret, just because no AFO classes can be scheduled doesn't mean we cannot make progress. So, I'll be doing major career consulting & advising by phone and online so that we can advance you on the 'off camera' business that you'll need in your pursuit, as well--this consulting will help you once things are back up (please don't take it for granted). Please contact me and let's start scheduling your weekly or twice a month ACTING CAREER CONSULTING sessions (by Zoom or phone). January/February - Actor Factory Ohio Experimental Project continues. WE WILL BE FILMING a 6-8 episode show starting next year! The filming will be pandemic safe (using film industry guidelines). Pre-Production is ongoing so that we can comply with all pandemic safety measures and have the best writing and show concept intact. You will write most of your own dialogue based on an overview script. This will teach the first principle of being a principal (FIND THE CHARACTER & STAY IN IT). March/April- If pandemic slows, in person acting classes will resume. Acting instruction and Auditioning improvement will be the focus. If interested, please text name and email to 216-329-1299 or email to actorfactoryohio(a)gmail.com to receive info. Consulting is going on right now! -Will F.

Beck Center for the Arts IS Fully Committed
by Julie Gilliland 20 Nov '20

20 Nov '20

Fully Committed is Fully Virtual Beck Center for the Arts' First Video on Demand Professional Theater Production Lakewood, OH-Beck Center for the Arts<http://www.beckcenter.org> announces its first virtual production, Fully Committed, as the answer to the challenges of producing live theater during a pandemic. Opening November 13 and running until November 29, 2020, patrons are invited to enjoy this virtual production in the comfort of their homes for $20 for an individual viewer, $30 for two or more viewers, or $40 for two or more viewers who would like to provide additional support. Fully Committed, by Becky Mode, is a hilarious one-person comedy. Ideally suited for a virtual production, this theater piece solves the issue of how to keep a performer, director, crew, and the audience safe during a pandemic, all the while delivering great laughs. Beck Center understands the desire for comedic entertainment and is proud to deliver this witty and funny experience. For the safety of everyone, this production will be filmed and distributed online. Scott Spence, now in his 30th season as artistic director of Beck Center for the Arts, directs. The tour-de-force comedy is performed by the very talented Nick Koesters, who was a mainstay on Beck Center's stages for many years, and has been a member of Virginia's Barter Theatre<https://bartertheatre.com/> for the past eight seasons. Some of Nick's memorable shows at Beck Center include "Greater Tuna," "Is He Dead?," "Hair" and "MacBeth." Mr. Koesters is a member of Actor's Equity Association. Koesters plays Sam Peliczowski, an out-of-work actor who runs the red-hot reservation line at Manhattan's highest reviewed restaurant. Coercion, threats, bribes, and histrionics pour forth from a cadre of desperate callers who will stop at nothing to land a prime reservation at the right table to impress their party. Amid the barrage of calls, Sam copes with his recently widowed father who's pressing him to come home for Christmas, as well as being up for a choice role in a play at Lincoln Center. Sam juggles scheming socialites, name-droppers, fickle celebrities, and egomaniacal bosses. Can he manage his own life right now? In all, this single performer brings to life over 40 characters. The New York Times calls Fully Committed "immensely entertaining, a richly comic affirmation of everything I've ever heard, or suspected, about the bad behavior that good food can inspire." This limited engagement of Fully Committed runs November 13 through November 29, 2020 on any device in the comfort of your home, as part of Beck Center's 87th Professional Theater Season. Friday, November 13 will be a special virtual viewing for donors of Beck Center for the Arts. Tickets are now on sale<https://www.showtix4u.com/event-details/42252> for the run of the production. Beck Center is located at 17801 Detroit Avenue<https://maps.google.com/?q=17801+Detroit+Avenue&entry=gmail&source=g> in Lakewood. For more information please visit beckcenter.org<http://www.beckcenter.org/>. This virtual production of Fully Committed is presented through special arrangement with Dramatists Play Service. Programming at Beck Center for the Arts is made possible through the generous support of the Ohio Arts Council. Beck Center gratefully acknowledges the generous funding provided by the citizens of Cuyahoga County through Cuyahoga Arts and Culture. Beck Center for the Arts is a not-for-profit 501(c)3 organization that offers professional theater productions on two stages, arts education programming in dance, music, theater, visual arts, early childhood, creative arts therapies for individuals with disabilities, free gallery exhibits year-round, and outreach education programming. ###

Paying-it-Forward with a new novella
by Bob Abelman 20 Nov '20

20 Nov '20

Hey there NEohio theater artists. Has your past work been panned by me in the News-Herald, Morning Journal, Cleveland Jewish News or CANVAS magazine? Have I likened your production to the theater equivalent of Ambien, have you second-guess your creative choices, or provide fodder for your parents when they remind you that you should have gone into the family business? Or dentistry? Here’s your opportunity to pay-it-forward and contribute to NEohioPAL while doing so. When you purchase a copy of my new novella “All the World’s a Stage Fright: Misadventures of a Clandestine Critic” – a fun and fast-paced fictionalized memoir set in the Cleveland theater scene – $5 per book will be donated to help keep NEohioPAL a free and vibrant resource for the local arts community. Just go to https://www.grayco.com/coupon/neohiopal/ to get a copy of the book, read it, and post a review on the high-profile social media outlet of your choosing. And if your book club adopts “All the World’s a Stage Fright,” I will gladly pay a zoom-visit to face your wrath virtually. As a bonus, if your group contains 10 or more people, I will make my young daughter watch. A great read, an important donation, and some passive-aggressive therapy. Not a bad deal for $14.95. https://www.grayco.com/coupon/neohiopal/
