Saint Ignatius High School is excited to be offering our musical theater summer camp this July! Open to rising 4th-9th graders, this co-ed experience is a fun way for kids to experience the arts as they grow in their performance skills and make new friends. Taught by Saint Ignatius faculty and assisted by high school students and recent alums (both young men and women) from our drama program, this is also a great opportunity for younger kids to connect with some role models in their late teens. *To learn more and sign up for this 2-week sessions (July 5-9 and 12-16, 2021), please click here.* <https://www.ignatius.edu/forms/saint-ignatius-co-ed-summer-musical-theater-…> Many of the high school graduates from our drama program have gone on to earn theater degrees from such schools as Carnegie Mellon, DePaul University, New York University, the University of Michigan, and the University of Southern California. While we hold the arts to a high standard at Saint Ignatius, we also have a ton of fun while doing it (after all, if it's not fun, what's the point of doing theater?).

Twin Masks Performing Arts Center (TMPAC) is proud to announce auditions for the Douglas Lillibridge Artist in Residency recipient, Obnoxiously Unconstitutional, on Sunday, April 25 and Monday, April 26 via ZOOM. Auditions on both evenings will be from 7pm – 9pm and links are below: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/805084DA5A62DA2FB6-auditions5 This is an original piece which will be workshopped online via a recorded ZOOM presentation on Friday, June 4 and Saturday, June 5. Rehearsals for this workshopped presentation will be conducted via ZOOM; typically rehearsals will be scheduled Sunday through Thursday, but will be adjusted per cast availability/conflicts. It is not expected you will have to be present for every rehearsal until filming. The final presentation is scheduled to take place in our theatre space on Friday, December 10 and Saturday, December 11. These in person performances are tentatively scheduled due to COVID restrictions but we are hopeful to perform the final product in our space as noted above. Ideally, we would love all cast to remain with us during the workshop to final production status. However, we understand schedules and people not being available. We will re-cast if cast member(s) are not available for the final in person production at the end of this year. Auditions will consist of cold readings from the script and will be emailed to those who sign up for auditions. Twin Masks Performing Arts Center is a 501(c)3 non-profit entity located at 9076 Church Street in Twinsburg, Ohio. This is a volunteer project and is unpaid. CHARACTER BREAKDOWN/ PLOT – OBNOXIOUSLY UNCONSTITUTIONAL BY KATIE BECK Public Justice is profoundly altered when politicians reject the truth and rule of law in pursuit of their personal and political agendas while trampling over small, working class people. This faith-based story is about a civil servant's love for both— urban planning and his woman— while battling four systems of Ohio political leaders' failure to render justice spanning over 2+ years. Leland Wright – (Man, African American, late 20s to mid 30s) – main character of the story. Hardworking, college educated man. Earnestly worked his way up through government. Demonstrating his story of how he became a civil servant of the people and detailing his adverse experience in employment and current legal trials. Joyce Wright – (Woman, African American, late 40s to late 50s) – Woman of strong faith. Proud of her son. Very obvious she cares deeply for Leland. Always at the ready to give Leland her advice – not overbearing, but wise. Alex the Attorney – (Man or Woman, any race, 40s – 50s) – legal representation for Leland. Explains the legal process and guides Leland in his legal proceedings. Jim (represents “Distributive Justice”) – (Man, 40s – 50s) – Firmly believes you have to “work your way up”, especially in a government position. “Nothing is just handed to you”. Described as an older man, ironed up button up shirt tucked neatly into creased pants. Duane (represents “Procedural Justice”) – (Man, late 30s – 40s) – Wears a bright button up shirt. Believes in clocking in and out, not stepping on anyone’s toes and doing your job is what is expected. Karen (represents “Retributive Justice”) – (Woman, late 40s – 50s) – Wears a fitted pantsuit and bold jewelry. Believes if you have been here the longest, you deserve the promotion, regardless of talent and ability. Can throw around her weight, blame others for her mistakes, and does not have a good working relationship at all with Leland (nor really anyone else in their office team). Jamila (represents “Restorative Justice”) – (Woman, early 30s) – Younger, speaks with a peaceful intent, wears a flower printed dress. Always tries to restore any relationship to righteousness – believes in repair to harm, determining an encounter with both parties, facilitating transform which causes fundamental changes in people, relationships and community. Mayor – (Man, 50s) – Mayor of Newport. Definitely plays favorites in his staff and although is the elected official, not fully aware what’s happening in his own office. Tracy – (Woman, late 20s to mid 30s) – Romantic partner and confidante to Leland. Loves working with children as kindergarten teacher. These three characters could be played by one actor (Man or Woman): Security Guard City Official Judge Sent from my iPhone

Imagatorium Concert by the Dept of Dance at CWRU
by CWRU Dept of Dance 19 Apr '21

19 Apr '21

The Department of Dance at Case Western Reserve University is pleased to announce Imagatorium, the final production of the 2020-21 season, on May 2nd. The production will feature original works by second-year graduate students Mary-Elizabeth Fenn and Tingyu Xie, along with senior capstone choreographies by Zhaonian Li, Joel Kuebler Linebach, and Evangeline Robertshaw. Wonderland, choreographed by Tingyu Xie, draws inspiration from the movie “Alice in Wonderland”. Thematically, this is a witty and humorous work with music by Raphael Beau. The dance walks through a utopia of three adventurous explorers and the Queen in Wonderland. Mary-Elizabeth Fenn’s Tiny Conversations portrays four distinct characters boisterously exploring the space inside the Maltz Performing Arts Center as their playground. With music by composer Lars-Erik Larson, we see a glimpse of this quartet's world and what goes on between them. Choreographed by Zhaonian Li, Yielding...Strong probes the development and structures of movements. The work, with music titled “Reflections on the Nature of Water” by Jacob Druckman, also highlights the kinetic relationship between music and dance. The idea of paradoxical characteristics of water is presented in the movements, showing the contrast between the soft and the strong. Joel Kuebler Linebach presents a solo work titled Entropy. Linebach’s work is inspired by the increasing and decreasing orderedness of the thermodynamic concept of entropy. The music consists of Linebach tap dancing in various rhythms and patterns, reflective of the work. Choreographer Evangeline Robertshaw collaborates with Sarah Gotkiewicz and Denae Eldridge to present Sonder. The work aims to portray the realities of life in order to be appreciative of our current activities as humans, be they good or bad. The music is composed by Tourist. Imagatorium premieres on May 2nd, and will be made available on the CWRU Department of Dance YouTube Channel <https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrHSOF-J0QLpse-RiPjcPcQ>.
