With a storm threatening and strange sounds coming from the nearby forest, 40-ish Ben and his younger sister Sam are forced to leave the plot on foot. As they walk, the two re-hash events of the past. They both air their grievances until the strange sounds begin to take physical form, forcing them into an abandoned house. Strangely, the house is not entirely empty and not entirely unfamiliar. There, they discover a truth they did not know, and come to terms with their shared history. *From the Producers* Check out The Portraits along with other recent releases including *Family Markers* by Faye Sholiton and Limbo by Agnes Herrmann at PL Radio <http://www.playwrightslocal.org/plradio/>, and look for additional new plays by Julia Fisher, Gail Nyoka, and others in the coming weeks! *Credits* Run Time: 23:30 Produced by Playwrights Local <http://www.playwrightslocal.org/> with Radio on the Lake Theatre <https://radioonthelaketheatre.org/>.

Interactive Halloween Opportunity for All Ages
by Bailey Pfohl 15 Jul '21

15 Jul '21

HISTORIC HAUNTS AUDITIONS Date: July 29 & 30 Time: 6 - 9pm Location: Near West Theatre, 6702 Detroit Ave Info on casting & registration here<https://www.nearwesttheatre.org/events/2021/07/29/auditions-historic-haunts> Join the walking dead for the revival of Historic Haunts, Detroit Shoreway's family-friendly interactive walking tour, designed to both fright and delight audiences with a selection of vivacious, nefarious, and hilarious Cleveland histories. Presented by the West Clinton Block Club in cooperation with Near West Theatre and the Northwest Neighborhoods Community Development Corporation, visitors will experience a lantern-lit, guided walking tour filled with artistic storytelling as they navigate the charming residential areas surrounding Gordon Square Arts District. In the tour, flash back to one hundred years ago by stepping into a world of Cleveland's most famous and infamous characters of a bygone, post-influenza-pandemic, era. The 1920s notably brought Cleveland some of its most beloved landmarks in Tower Terminal, The Gordon Square Arcade and the theatres of Playhouse Square. It marked an end to the long-fought women's suffrage movement, the beginning of a highly-contested prohibition, and the Jazz Age. The Cleveland baseball team even won a World Series! No matter 1921 or 2021, Historic Haunts promises a fun and unique fall experience for audiences of all ages. Roles available: * Near West Theatre is looking to cast 35-40 people, ages 14 and up, of all genders and ethnicities for this non-musical theatre acting opportunity. Prior theatre experience is not necessary, and both speaking and non-speaking roles are available. For supervision reasons, we are only able to cast ages 14 and up, however, youth ages 7 and up are invited to audition if a parent is also planning to audition and participate as a cast member. Individuals with special skills such as juggling, roller skating, sideshow, and street performer acts are encouraged to audition. Though an unpaid volunteer opportunity, this theatre experience pays dividends in community building. Scheduling: * Rehearsals: Sunday - Wednesdays, Aug 30 - October 7, Sunday afternoons and 6:30-9:30pm on weekdays. Cast will not be required to attend every night of rehearsals. Full cast is called August 30 & 31, and October 4 - 9. There are no rehearsals Labor Day weekend. This is a fun and engaging opportunity for those with limited schedules. * Performances: Friday, October 8 & Saturday, October 9. * We are able to offer flexible scheduling with actors. To do so, please submit all of your known conflicts. Register to audition here<https://www.nearwesttheatre.org/get-involved/audition>.
