For all ages, all abilities, all levels of experience. Skills include: saying “yes” to scene partners, listening and responding, taking turns, making appropriate choices, developing story structure, knowing when to enter and exit, and knowing when and how to end scenes. This class is for both new and continuing students. *Virtual Theatre Production, 1:00-2:00 PM ET* Explore the techniques of devising a virtual performance through theatre games, improvisation and research.

AUDITIONS: Student film at University of Akron, unpaid
by Sarah Shively 01 Mar '22

01 Mar '22

My name is Sarah Shively, and I am looking for actors to be in a short film I am writing and directing for my senior honors project at the University of Akron. I will be shooting the film this semester. I plan to start filming this March. The working title for the film is “The Escape.” The film follows homeschooled high school senior Christine White as her endeavors to attend college and discover what happened to her estranged older sister lead her to a shocking discovery, forcing Christine to choose whether to remain in the life she’s always known, or to escape. CHARACTERS CHRISTINE WHITE - Eighteen-year-old homeschooled high school student. She's a quiet, slim girl who doesn't seem to have much backbone. Typically a sweet, quiet girl. Christine shared a strong bond with her sister. MARIA WHITE - Christine's mother. Mid-forties. She is a housewife and homeschooling mom. Very religious, dresses conservatively. She is the dominant figure in the White family home. Maria’s greatest fear is that Christine will go down the same path that Jessie did. JESSIE WHITE - Christine's older sister, about 22 years old during the events of The Escape. At 19, she was disowned for coming out as lesbian. Still trying to find her place in the world and recover from religious trauma while also figuring out how best to help her sister. JOHN WHITE - Christine's father. Mid-to-late forties. He's a solidly built, conservative man with short hair. He's usually away at work during the day but enjoys spending time with his family in the evening. While he does share Maria's religious beliefs and fully supports her homeschooling efforts, he does tend to bring a more practical view to the table, such as asking that Christine apply to a nearby secular college in case she doesn't make it into the Christian university.

Auditions for "Silent Sky"
by Tim Anderson 28 Feb '22

28 Feb '22

Auditions for *Silent Sky* by Lauren Gunderson - *Wednesday, March 9 from 7:00 – 9:00PM* - *Thursday, March 10 from 7:00 – 9:00PM* This historical drama by Lauren Gunderson is based on the true story of Henrietta Leavitt. The play is set in the early 1900s at the Harvard Observatory. As a woman, Leavitt is not allowed to touch a telescope or express an original idea. Instead, she joins a group of women “computers,” charting the stars for a renowned astronomer who calculates projects in “girl hours” and has no time for the women’s probing theories. As Henrietta, in her free time, attempts to measure the light and distance of stars, she must also take measure of her life on Earth, trying to balance her dedication to science with family obligations and the possibility of love. The show will be directed by Ryan Bergeron. All roles are open. Please sign up for an audition slot (7:00 PM - 8:00 PM or 8:00 PM - 9:00PM each night) by visiting our website <http://broadview-heights-spotlights.org/theater/2022/02/11/auditions-for-si…>.

You may prepare a brief monologue if you like. Call backs, if necessary, will be on Saturday, March 12. Rehearsals will begin the week of March 14. The show runs May 6 – 21, 2022.
