The 2023 Cleveland Asian Festival
by Johnny Wu 13 Dec '22

13 Dec '22

For Immediate Release December 12, 2022 Cleveland, OH - The Cleveland Asian Festival (CAF) is a grassroots festival that highlights Cleveland's AsiaTown, Diversity, and Asian Culture in Northeast Ohio. It was organized in 2010 by volunteer community leaders to celebrate Cleveland's diversity and Asian Pacific American Heritage month (May). CAF has always been considered as the festival that kicks off summer. The mission of CAF has remained the same over the years: * Strengthening the identity of AsiaTown and supporting its economic growth * Educating and promoting Asian culture and traditions * Celebrating Asian Pacific American Heritage Month and Cleveland's Diversity * Uniting Cleveland's Asian Community Johnny Wu, one of the founders of CAF says, "The economic impact that CAF has generated for the AsiaTown neighborhood and businesses is significant. People who attend not only shop and eat that weekend but a large percentage return to AsiaTown throughout the year after experiencing it at CAF." Asian Pacific American Heritage Month is an important recognition of the contributions of the AAPI community and a chance to stand together against recent anti-Asian sentiments. CAF attracts the Asian community but also groups representing the numerous diverse ethnic heritages of Cleveland. Lisa Wong, president of OCA Greater Cleveland and one of the founders of CAF, says "We're excited about being able to gather together again for the upcoming Cleveland Asian Festival and the opportunity to celebrate Asian Pacific American Heritage Month this May. We invite everyone to patronize the local Asian businesses and to continue supporting the APA community during these challenging times." Sponsorship and advertising opportunities are currently available but space is limited. About the 2023 Cleveland Asian Festival The Cleveland Asian Festival is an annual celebration of Asian Pacific American Heritage month in May in Cleveland's AsiaTown neighborhood. It is a landmark undertaking to unite the community through collaboration and recognition of its culture, diversity, and people. The 2023 Cleveland Asian Festival will be held on Saturday, May 20 and Sunday, May 21.

Auditions for Die Mommie Die Tonight!
by Kildow, Eric 13 Dec '22

13 Dec '22

AUDITION NOTICE DIE MOMMIE! DIE! By Charles Busch presented by Kent Trumbull Theatre Audition Dates: 12/13/22 & 12/14/22 Audition Times: 6pm-8pm Rehearsals Begin: 1/17/23 Show Dates: 3/3-5, 10-12/23 PRELIMINARY SCHEDULE: 6:30-9:00 M-Th (depending on availability & conflicts) SYNOPSIS: This hilarious comic melodrama evokes the 1960s "Grande Dame Guignol" movie thrillers that featured such aging cinematic icons as Bette Davis, Joan Crawford, Lana Turner and Susan Hayward. Ex-pop singer Angela Andrews is trapped in a hateful marriage with film producer Sol Sussman. Desperate to find happiness with her younger lover, an out-of-work TV actor named Tony Parker, Angela murders her husband with the aid of a poisoned suppository. In a plot that reflects Greek tragedy as well as Hollywood kitsch, Angela's Elektra-like daughter Edith convinces Angela's emotionally disturbed son Lance that they must avenge their father's death by killing their mother. Lance, demanding proof of Angela's crime, slips some LSD into her after-dinner coffee. Angela is plunged into a wild acid trip that reveals that she killed not only the children's father but also their mother; she isn't their mother at all, but rather their Aunt Barbara. A surprising twist ending has all of the Sussman family's dirty laundry aired out once and for all. Angela (aka Aunt Barbara), realizing that happiness cannot be built upon a foundation of lies, turns herself in to the police. Auditions will consist of readings from the script. Video auditions will be accepted. Contact ekildow(a)kent.edu<mailto:ekildow@kent.edu> for more information. The digital audition form (with preliminary schedule, casting breakdown, and sides) can be found at: https://forms.gle/FDVn7jx3YNY8mHtA7<https://forms.gle/FDVn7jx3YNY8mHtA7?fbclid=IwAR3lATbzqONrNiiKihk-vDkiu7iwD0…> CASTING BREAKDOWN Strong Comedic Actors Needed! 18 & Over ONLY ANGELA ARDEN- (F, 40's[ish], Any) A beautiful glamorous Hollywood pop star who's light has faded somewhat on the stage.
