VIRTUAL ZOOM READING OF A SHORT PLAY BY Ife Gail Young
by Ife Gail Young 17 Jan '22

17 Jan '22

Hi Fred, could you post the following for me? Thank you. Hello, This is Ife-Gail Young, writer/performer. I am inviting you to a VIRTUAL READING (Zoom Webinar) of a short play written by myself and presented by Ensemble Theatre (Cleveland Hts., OH), directed by Celeste Consentino. The play, ‘In The Dance Of Stars” is not about race or romance. Instead, it is about the way in which humans often bond, breaking down walls of different worlds to connect and relate to one another when confronted with traumatic situations. It is about desperation and fears, and helplessness, yet, hope. All those things have been a reality for millions of people these past two years as Covid 19 swept over the entire planet and claimed the lives of many. Please join us for this VIRTUAL READING on Saturday, January 29th at 3:00p.m. Also, consider joining me in the ‘talk back’ after the reading. Look for the registration link for both. I will send out a reminder slightly before that date, so you won’t miss it. Thank you and Happy New Year. And please stay safe. (Click the link below and follow instructions.)

Many THANKS to the 1.1% of subscribers (98 out of 8, 228 thus far) that have donated to NEohioPAL's annual campaign for support
by Fred Sternfeld 16 Jan '22

16 Jan '22

Dear Subscribers, We hope you are doing well and that live performance opportunities are starting to open up once again for you, or your organization. The last (almost) two years have been tough on everybody. As you might be aware, every year we normally do a one month campaign asking for contributions in support of Neohiopal. Last year we decided not to do a formalized campaign at all since so many people and organizations were so adversely impacted economically. Even with no campaign for funds, some of you generously contributed anyway. Those people (and also from 2020, and supporters who have donated thus far in 2022) who contributed and chose to have their name or organization listed are at this link <http://www.fredsternfeld.com/neohiopal/northeast-ohio-performing-arts-list-…> . We are about half way through our one month campaign for contributions to support Neohiopal. If it is within your means, or your organization's budget to contribute, your support is greatly appreciated. NEohioPAL is now in its 24th year of providing people like you a valuable tool that draws together Northeast Ohio's arts community. Your donation keeps this unique performing arts resource alive and free to all readers and posters. NEohioPAL supporters are performers, artists and arts lovers who recognize the value of staying in touch with our region's arts scene. They are also people who realize that we have some very real expenses: web hosting, bandwidth, utilities, supplies and our time keeping the site free of SPAM and running smoothly. If you have ever learned of an audition, found a job, promoted your event or had a great night out at a performance, please consider supporting our efforts through a donation. To donate, please go to http://www.fredsternfeld.com/support-neohiopal/. At that site you will find many ways to volunteer your financial support: Paypal, Venmo, Google Pay, Apple Pay, Zelle or by check. Here are suggestions to help you decide what to donate: 3 cents per day = $10 per year 14 cents per day = $50 per year 20 cents per day = $75 per year *27 cents per day = $100 per year* *50 cents per day = $182.50 per year* *1 dollar per day = $365 per year* *Also, if it is easier on your budget to donate smaller amounts monthly, that is very easy to set up on Paypal.* Thanks for your participation in making the arts scene in Northeast Ohio vibrant and collaborative. Warm Regards, Fred Sternfeld <http://t.sidekickopen08.com/e1t/c/5/f18dQhb0S7lC8dDMPbW2n0x6l2B9nMJW7t5XZs5…> NEohioPAL founder and administrator Noah Budin <http://t.sidekickopen08.com/e1t/c/5/f18dQhb0S7lC8dDMPbW2n0x6l2B9nMJW7t5XZs5…>, Daniel Alpern NEohioPAL associate administrators Conrad Yoder Webmaster P.S. We will post this message to NEohioPAL several times over the coming weeks. After that, we will not do a direct "ask" again until this time next year. If a modest donation is not in your budget this month, information on how to support NEohioPAL will always be in the footer of each message. http://www.fredsternfeld.com/support-neohiopal/ -- Fred Sternfeld Neohiopal Ltd.
