by Julie Gilliland 18 Aug '21

18 Aug '21

CORRECTON--FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE August 18, 2021 Beck Center for the Arts Announces Broadway Bound, featuring film and stage legend actor Austin Pendleton, in the first production of 89th Season Lakewood, OH-Beck Center for the Arts<http://www.beckcenter.org/> is pleased to announce Broadway Bound<https://www.beckcenter.org/shows/template-dj8td-49d9j-3gp3f>, featuring Austin Pendleton<https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0671721/> in its first production of the 2021-2022 Professional Theater Season<https://www.beckcenter.org/professional-theater>. Mr. Pendleton returns from New York City after having performed in a Beck Center prior production, Glengarry Glen Ross. This production will be performed in the newly named Senney Theater<https://www.beckcenter.org/theater/seating-charts>. In recognition of Wally and Joyce Senney for their extraordinarily generous gift of over $1 million for the Creating Our Future capital campaign, Beck Center's Board of Directors recently voted to change the name of its larger theater to The Senney Theater. The Senney family's history with the organization goes back to 1915 when they constructed the Lucier Movie Theater and Maheu block which became the home of Lakewood Little Theater in 1938, later becoming Beck Center for the Arts. Produced by Scott Spence<https://www.beckcenter.org/about/leadership>, now in his 31st season with Beck Center, and directed by William Roudebush,<https://www.linkedin.com/in/william-roudebush-27a74097/> this comedy by hilarious playwright Neil Simon<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neil_Simon> is sure to ease patrons back into the comfort of live theater. Mr. Roudebush says of returning to the theater in Lakewood, Ohio, "I was born in 1949, the same year Broadway Bound takes place. I became a Thespian at Rocky River High School in 1964, the same year Neil Simon's most famous play, The Odd Couple, opened on Broadway. My father and I were devotee's of The Phil Silvers' Show as well as Your Show Of Shows starring Sid Caesar, Imogine Coca, and Carl Reiner. Over the years I have directed at least 15 productions penned by the greatest comic genius of our time, Neil Simon. So, after a solid eighteen months of quarantine and isolation from what I love the most, this production of Broadway Bound is the perfect coming out party for me. His comic rhythms were born into my soul and I can't wait for them to play out in front of a play-starved audience. It's the perfect 'welcome back' for all of us!" Broadway Bound, called "expectedly funny and unexpectedly moving" by New York Daily News, is the final play in Neil Simon's semi-autobiographical trilogy (Brighton Beach Memoirs and Biloxi Blues). Broadway Bound continues Eugene and Stanley's brotherly journey as they discover and flex their comedic writing chops while continuing to endure family dysfunction. There is no need to see the previous plays in order to enjoy this production, as each play stands fully on its own. In anticipation of welcoming theater patrons back to the Senney Theater Beck Center made a number of investments in the HVAC and air filtration to provide a safe environment for patrons as they return to the theater. Beck Center will communicate any mask policies with patrons prior to the production. Individual and group tickets are available at beckcenter.org<https://www.beckcenter.org/professional-theater> with single ticket prices from $34 (adults), $30 (for seniors 65 and older) and $12 for students with valid ID. A $3 service fee per single ticket will be applied at time of purchase. Running September 10 to October 3, 2021, curtain times are 7:30 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays and 2:30 p.m. Sundays.

The Saint Ignatius High School Harlequins are excited to announce our 2021-2022 season: *Arsenic and Old Lace* November 12-14, 2021 Auditions: September 7, 2021 (Callbacks, if needed, the 8th) *Godspell* March 18-20 + 25-26, 2022 Auditions: November 29-30 + December 1, 2021 All high school girls, both at public and private institutions, are welcome to audition alongside Saint Ignatius students. For tech, we have a number of design positions open to young women, in addition to run crew. *All interested girls are encouraged to attend an informational meeting on Tuesday, August 24 at 4:00 in the school's Breen Center for the Performing Arts.* New This Year: Free Acting Classes for Fall Play Actors While there are many young artists who study voice and dance, very few study acting. Though students spend years perfecting their singing and dancing, acting is usually just seen as something "picked up along the way." This lack of formal training sets these young performers back, particularly when it comes to college auditions at competitive schools. To help our young men and women grow as complete artists, the cast of this year's fall play will receive *3 hours of free acting classes per week* as part of the rehearsal process. Students will be introduced to techniques developed by Stella Adler, Uta Hagen, Sandy Meisner, Lee Strasberg, and more. Any questions? Please do not hesitate to email me at dhoover(a)ignatius.edu. We hope you (or your daughter/friend) are able to join us!
