Actors needed for reading original script
by Clay Nielsen 10 Oct '22

10 Oct '22

Do you want to be part of something new? Arlene’s Broadway On Buffalo, 236 Buffalo St., Conneaut, OH is looking for help Sunday, Oct. 16, beginning at 3 p.m. as we do a pre-audition reading/screening/evaluation of our newest offering, “Christmas Versus Carol.” The event will be held at the theater and is NOT an audition, but a theater community read-through which will give us a chance to evaluate and fine tune the script before the following weekend’s actual auditions. We need people, preferably actors, willing to give a couple hours of their time to come to the theater and read the new script aloud. This will give us a chance to hear the lines presented aloud for the first time, and offer the opportunity for fine tuning any problem spots. We expect the activity to take 2 to 2-1/2 hours. There are 11-15 characters included in the show (depending on whether three roles are double cast.) They include: •Carol, a director. •Bobbie, s stage manager •Stan, a lighting tech •Tiffany, an actress •Gisele, an actress •Dave, an actor •Tim, playing Tiny Tim •Mayor, a mayor •Scoop, a reporter for the local paper •Marley, a ghost •Ghost of Christmas Past •Ghost(s) of Now •Ghost of Christmas Yet To Come This event is non-compensated, though there will be snacks and refreshments provided. Please message us via our Facebook page if you’d like to take part.

SHS Front Desk/Fireplace Set Piece
by Jeremy Jenkins 09 Oct '22

09 Oct '22

Strongsville High School is in need of a hotel-like front desk and fireplace mantle for an upcoming production of The Holiday Channel Christmas Movie Wonderthon by Don Zolidis. Are there any local theatres out there who have something similar that we could borrow? The show runs 11/18-11/19. We needed to build 10 new platforms this year and have almost maxed our set budget, so this would be a huge help for us. We are also looking for an outdoor park bench and fake outdoor trees (preferably with no leaves). Please contact Jeremy Jenkins (jjenkins(a)scsmustangs.org) if you have any leads. We would be willing to help promote your upcoming season/shows and help out any way we can. Sent from my iPhone

Berko review: THE THIN PLACE
by Roy Berko 09 Oct '22

09 Oct '22

* •••••••••••••••••••••••••••Capsule judgment: THE THIN PLACE is a disappointing script that gets a better-than- deserved production at Dobama. If you are a true theater- buff and like trying to figure out if an author has an intent and purpose, while observing good performances, this may be a show for you.

09 Oct '22

KISS ME, KATE! IN CONCERT Music & Lyrics by Cole Porter Book by Bella & Samuel Spewack OCTOBER 14 & 15 at 7:30 PM OCTOBER 16 at 2:00 PM *CHAGRIN VALLEY LITTLE THEATRE* *40 RIVER STREET, CHAGRIN FALLS OH* Tickets $25 / $15 at https://cvlt.org/events/kiss-me-kate-in-concert/ THIS CONCERT IS TOO DARN HOT! The Chagrin Falls Studio Orchestra and Chagrin Valley Little Theatre join to present a ‘concert performance’ of Cole Porter’s classic musical comedy, *Kiss Me, Kate*. The full 27-member Studio Orchestra will be on stage with the singer / actors in a lightly staged full production. Featuring a special guest appearance by ELEVĀTED <https://www.elevateddancehq.com/> Dance Company, 1st place winner 2022 of World of Dance Competition. BRUSH UP YOUR SHAKESPEARE! *Kiss Me, Kate* includes well-known songs like “Another Op’nin’, Another Show”, “So In Love” and the ever popular “Brush Up Your Shakespeare” – performed by the two wacky gangsters (Don Bernardo and Eric Oswald) stealing the show as they chase the leading lady around the theater! *Kiss Me Kate* tells the tale of two once-married, now-divorced musical theater actors, egotistical leading man Fred Graham and Lilli Vanessi, who are forced to perform opposite each other in a Broadway-bound musical version of William Shakespeare’s *The Taming of the Shrew*, in the roles of Petruchio and Katharina. As the battle of the sexes continues onstage and off, it becomes clear that as much as this couple professes to hate each other, they are also still in love. Throw a number of cases of mistaken identity, some gangsters, and additional romantic entanglements into the mix. Musical Director/Conductor: Stephen A. Eva Stage Director: Michael J.
