Miss live theatre? Need a laugh? Curious about what local theaters can do to move online? MAD* Factory Theatre Co presents: Disenchanted At Home Edition! Starring: Emily Cabana, Amber Michalak, Kristina Rivera, Nina Takacs, Michelle Cha, and Rosa Gadsden. Featuring Doug Bailey, with choreography by Connie Laettner. Tickets: $10 on our website, www.madfactory.org When: This weekend (July 25th and 26th) only! Instructions on how to buy and watch are on the website. www.madfactory.org Poisoned apples.Glass slippers. Who needs' em?! Not Snow White and her posse of disenchanted princesses in the hilarious hit musical that's anything but Grimm. The original storybook heroines are none-too-happy with the way they've been portrayed in today's pop culture so they've tossed their tiaras and have come to life to set the record straight. Forget the princesses you think you know--these royal renegades are here to comically belt out the truth. "Outstanding Off-Broadway Musical" nomination (Outer Critics Circle Awards) and "Best New Off-Broadway Musical" nomination (Off Broadway Alliance). *Contains adult language and content. * Book, Music and Lyrics by Dennis T. Giacino Developed with Fiely Matias Produced by special arrangement with Broadway Licensing

24 Jul '20

FYI: ARIA is now showing in the Cinematheque's virtual multiplex! Online exclusive! Available 7/24 - 8/13. ARIA UK, 1987, various directors Ten of the hottest directors of the 1980s—including Robert Altman, Bruce Beresford, Jean-Luc Godard, Derek Jarman, Franc Roddam, Nicolas Roeg, Ken Russell, and Julien Temple—unleash their unbridled imaginations on ten visualizations of famous opera arias by Verdi, Puccini, Wagner, and others (including “Nessun Dorma”). Often irreverent and over the top, with little spoken dialogue, this anthology film also boasts a cast of notables—from Tilda Swinton and Theresa Russell to John Hurt, Beverly D’Angelo, and Buck Henry. New digital restoration! Adults only! Cleveland revival premiere. 91 min. Aria, a Cinematheque streaming exclusive, can be watched online from 7/24 thru 8/13 via the link below.

Casting Feature Film
by adam＠saturnestudios.com 22 Jul '20

22 Jul '20

Casting a feature film. Paid role, non union. Filming has already begun so we need someone quickly! JACK: Jack, the grandfather to our main character, TJ. TJ has spent most of her life in foster care and until recently did not know she had any biological family. On her 16th birthday, TJ receives a gift from her grandfather leading her to want to seek him out. She and her friends go on a road trip to find him. Jack, a recovering alcoholic, regrets not having TJ in his life. After his daughter Amy died, TJ was sent into foster care. Jack now wants to reach out and connect with her, hoping she can forgive him. Jacks’ character shoots a total of 12 days. Those days are scattered through August and September. We will be filming out near East Liverpool as we needed a location that could double for West Virginia and not be so far. We shot a concept trailer for this film a while back that would give you some idea of what it is we are trying to do. You can see that here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s6S1dDXZCQw&t=12s <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s6S1dDXZCQw&t=12s> Sincerely, Adam Deierling Videographer / Editor / Owner Saturn Entertainment Studios www.SaturnEStudios.com <https://www.saturnestudios.com/> adam(a)saturnEStudios.com 330-470-0839
