They will hold weekly 90 minute rehearsals, space provided and paid for by CDP. Choreographers must be available for auditions on Jan 31 where their piece will be cast by the directing staff with input from choreographers and adult dancers that attend auditions.

Tickets can be purchased by either visiting the Scrooge In Rouge show page at http://www.cassidytheatre.com, or by visiting the event page at ShowTix4U https://www.showtix4u.com/event-details/42687 This quick-change, cross-dressing version of the Charles Dickens classic is set in a Victorian music hall. The Royal Music Hall Twenty-Member Variety Players are beset with a widespread case of food poisoning. This leaves only three surviving members to soldier on through a performance of A Christmas Carol. The undaunted trio gamely face missed cues, ill-fitting costumes, and solving the problem of having no one to play Tiny Tim. Done in the style of British Music Hall, SCROOGE IN ROUGE abounds in bad puns, bawdy malapropisms, naughty double-entendres, and witty songs. A raucous holiday treat!

The perfect holiday gift for theater lovers
by Fred Sternfeld 11 Dec '20

11 Dec '20

Are you looking for last-minute stocking stuffers for Christmas, gelt for Hanukkah or gifts for Kwanza for the theater lovers in your life? Consider getting them a copy of Bob Abelman’s hilarious new novel “All the World’s a Stage Fright.” The much-missed Cleveland theater scene serves as the backdrop for this backstage journey, where we find a local critic turn actor so he can write about the experience of being in a top-tier production of “As You Like It.” But he must overcome a mind-numbing fear of Shakespeare, share the stage with actors he has panned in the past, perform in front of his father’s merry and highly vocal band of assisted living residents, and avoid getting panned by his fellow critics. Bob happens to be a former professional actor who, as a younger man, appeared on Broadway and so far off-Broadway it was Connecticut. More recently, he was in my production of “Tuck Everlasting.” Your purchase is a gift that keeps on giving. NEohioPAL gets a $5 donation for each purchase of this $14.95 book to help it remain a free and vibrant resource for the local theater community.
