by Bob Abelman 05 May '21

05 May '21

Dayton-born Mary Illes, a singular talent with a range of Broadway (“She Loves Me”) and national tour (“The Secret Garden”) experience, comes to Cleveland via Zoom for an evening of live virtual Q&A, which is free and open to the public. Her extensive resume also includes originating the role of Golde in “Fidler afn Dakh,” the widely acclaimed Yiddish version of the enduring musical “Fiddler on the Roof.” The musical, directed by Joel Grey an mounted by the National Yiddish Theatre Folksbiene in 2018, opened at lower Manhattan's Museum of Jewish Heritage for a six-week run, which was extended multiple times before transferring to off-Broadway by popular demand. Mary is neither Jewish nor fluent in Yiddish. My interview with the actress, which serves as a preview to the May 12 event, can be found at: https://www.clevelandjewishnews.com/columnists/

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Pandemonium 2020 was adapted into Awakenings: A Virtual Gala, which premiered a one-hour special on WKYC Channel 3, followed by a virtual After-Party on Zoom.

A positive attitude, ability to maintain accurate attention to many details, and strong customer service skills are great assets. While the largest project the intern would undertake is preparation for Pandemonium, in the true spirit of CPT's work culture, we may also call upon the intern to support the marketing, box office, finance, and/or artistic departments, especially in any area of interest for the intern. We will provide ample training for all required tasks. Pandemonium will be held on September 18, 2021, with the bulk of the work taking place in the months prior. The intern receives one guest ticket and is welcome to enjoy the event after guest registration has ended. ________________________________ Compensation: $10-11 per hour commensurate with experience Anticipated Start Date: July 12, 2021 *Must be available all day on Saturday, September 18 Hours: Minimum 10 hours per week; may go up to 20 hours per week in late August and September ________________________________ ABOUT CPT CPT cares passionately about reflecting our community and pursuing diversity at all levels of the organization.

The play is bracketed by a discussion between two lovers, Pete and Ginette, who are gradually in the process of revealing their love to each other. The Prologue ends with the paradox that given that the world is roughly spherical, people as close as possible to one another in one direction are as far apart as possible in another direction. Thus Ginette heads away from Pete in a journey around the world to bring her closer to him. The subsequent eight scenes involve vignettes of eight other couples, all overcoming relationship obstacles in narrative arcs that pose a problem or paradox, work through short intervals of vaguely surreal comedy, and end with happy resolutions. The play ends with a happy reunion between Pete and Ginette. The people of Almost, Maine are not simpletons. They are not hicks or rednecks. They are not quaint, quirky eccentrics. They don’t wear funny clothes or funny hats. They don’t have funny Maine accents. They are not “Down Easters”. They are not fishermen or lobstermen. They don’t wear galoshes and rain hats. They don’t say, “Ayuh.” The people of Almost, Maine are ordinary people. They work hard for a living. They are extremely dignified. They are honest and true. They are not cynical. They are not sarcastic. They are not glib. But this does not mean that they are dumb. They’re very smart. They just take time to wonder about things. They speak simply, honestly, truly, and from the heart. They are never precious about what they say or do. Character Descriptions NOTE: Cast size will vary based on needs of the production and those who audition Each male actor cast (Male, 20-45) will play multiple characters including Pete, an inexpressive, nice guy; Lendall, a simple guy with a romantic edge; Phil, a hardworking man having marital issues; Man, a small, thin, everyday guy; East, a gentle repairman; Jimmy, a heating and cooling man, depressed and trying to get over his ex-girlfriend; Chad, a rough "country guy"; Randy, a rough "country guy"; Dave a timid guy who tries to be tough, but is really tender; and Steve, a kind, open guy who is very sheltered. Each female actor cast (Female, 20-45) will play multiple characters including Ginette, young and in love; Waitress, a busy body, yet caring; Glory, a hiker with a tough facade, yet has a broken heart; Gayle, an angry woman who is impatient because she feels like her boyfriend is not moving fast enough; Hope, an independent and confident woman; Sandrine, an excited girl who is about to get married; Marvalyn, a woman who puts up a hard front to protect herself from getting hurt; Marci, a hardworking woman having marital issues; and Rhonda, a tough tomboy who has never been in a relationship.

GCA - Working, A Musical Auditions
by Marc C. Howard 04 May '21

04 May '21

Announcing Auditions for Geauga Center for the Arts' production of... WORKING. A Musical - -2012 REVISED VERSION Directed and Choreographed by Marc C. Howard Music Direction by D. Keith Stiver Based on Studs Terkel's best-selling book of interviews with American workers, Working paints a vivid portrait of the men and women that the world so often takes for granted: the schoolteacher, the receptionist, the waitress, the millworker, the mason, and the housewife, to name a few. Nominated for six Tony Awards, this classic has been updated for a modern age, featuring new songs by Tony Award-winning Lin-Manuel Miranda, as well as favorites by Stephen Schwartz, Craig Carnelia and James Taylor. This new version of Working is a musical exploration of 26 people from all walks of life. The strength of the show is in the core truths that transcend specific professions; the key is how people's relationships to their work ultimately reveal key aspects of their humanity, regardless of the trappings of the job itself. The show, set in contemporary America, contains timeless truths. Working allows the audience to get a rare glimpse of the actors and technicians working to put on a show. This raw adaptation only enhances the realistic and relatable nature of the subject matter. With extremely modest set and orchestra requirements, universal subject matter, and featuring a multi-ethnic ensemble cast, Working is one of the most accessible, relevant, and substantive musicals ever created. Working, A Musical will be recorded as a LIVE performance with all Covid-19 restrictions and precautions in place. Filming Dates: Will be sometime between July 26 - August 06, 2021 Streaming Dates: August 20 - 29, 2021 Please go to this link for all character and audition information. https://www.signupgenius.com/go/5080549afac2caaf58-working <https://www.signupgenius.com/go/5080549afac2caaf58-working?fbclid=IwAR2iXei…>
