Western Reserve Playhouse presents: “A BROADWAY CHRISTMAS CAROL” A Holiday Musical by Kathy Saylor Directed by Dawn Sniadak-Yamokoski - Musical Direction by David Coxe Show Dates: December 3-5, 10 & 11, 2021 SYNOPSIS: *A Broadway Christmas Carol*, created by Kathy Saylor, is a delicious cross between the classic Dickens’ tale and uproarious song parodies of favorite, familiar Broadway show tunes. *"* ...musical-theater fanatics who like to laugh should head to the theatre with jingle bells on. *"* *- The Washington Post* What the dickens happened to Scrooge? He sings (show tunes), he dances (time steps and classic Fosse), he turns into a ham (and we’re not talking spiral-cut).

This special event is $20 per ticket. This performance is chock-full of some WRP favorites that we know you know and love! Enjoy this amazing cast of Bernadette Hisey (The Woman Who Isn’t Scrooge,) Kevin Kelly (The Man Who Isn’t Scrooge,) Dennis Runkle (Scrooge,) and our own musical director, David Coxe, as the man behind the piano (Who Also Isn’t Scrooge!)

Playwrighting/Creative Writing Tutor
by Tim Collingwood 29 Nov '21

29 Nov '21

Theatres are beginning to re-open and schedule their seasons. Cleveland is the home of amazing, original theatrical work.Do you want feedback before you submit your pages? We are signaling towards a return to the social interactions of theatre,and maybe it's time for you to return to that play or screenplay or novel you have been putting off. Or, you have been writing this whole time and just need a fresh pair of eyes to go over it with you. There is creativity in you. As an emerging playwright, I can help you find your voice in your written work. I can encourage you to explore beyond what you have already explored in your work. I can offer constructive feedback to develop your work further, based on goals you have for the play, short story, and novel you are writing. If the work just needs to be read by someone else, I can offer that as well. Fleshing out your literary voice and encouraging it to grow is important to me. If you would like to be tutored, please respond to this email. Sessions can be made on Zoom, Jitsi, or Facebook video through Messenger. $20/session. Once a session is set up, details to pay will be discussed, as well as developing a shared agreement that supports your writing with your needs with my skills to mentor your work as you need. Tim Collingwood is a local actor, playwright, writer, and stage manager in the Cleveland area. He received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Theatre and English from Cleveland State University in 2010.
