FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE May 2, 2022 MTC to Hold Auditions for Singers and Dancers for Grease the Musical At The Youngstown Playhouse! Youngstown, Ohio- The Millennial Theatre Company (MTC) is holding auditions for Grease the Musical, in collaboration with The Youngstown Playhouse. Auditions will be held at The Youngstown Playhouse (600 Playhouse Lane, Youngstown, Ohio 44511) on May 12 from 6-9pm, May 13 from 6-9pm, and May 14 from 12-3pm. Rehearsals are projected to begin on May 23. All performers must be fully vaccinated for COVID-19 by the first day of rehearsals. Those who have received their two-dose vaccine (Moderna or Pfizer) more than six months ago will be required to get a booster shot. Those who have received their one dose vaccine (Johnson and Johnson) will be required to receive a second dose. Proof of vaccination will be required before the first rehearsal. *Grease the Musical* performs July 29-31 and August 5-7 at The Youngstown Playhouse with rehearsals running Monday-Friday from 6-9pm. Directed by Joe Asente, with music direction by Anthony Ruggiero and choreography by Aubrie Morrison. Auditioners (ages 16+) should prepare a 30-60 second cut of a song in the style of the show. An accompanist will be provided. There will also be a cold read from the script. Please come dressed comfortably and prepared to learn a short dance combination. Dancers interested in non-singing roles are also welcome, and will only be asked to complete the dance portion of the audition (no reading or singing necessary). All roles are open. Non-union, unpaid. Grease the Musical tells the story of Rydell High’s senior class of 1959: duck-tailed, hot-rodding “Burger Palace Boys” and their gum-snapping, hip-shaking “Pink Ladies” in bobby-sox and pedal pushers, evoking the look and sound of the 1950s in this rollicking musical. Head “greaser” Danny Zuko and new (good) girl Sandy Dumbrowski try to relive the high romance of their “Summer Nights” as the rest of the gang sings and dances its way through all the hit songs that have become the soundtrack of a generation! ####### About the Millennial Theatre Company The Millennial Theatre Company (MTC) is a 501c3 non-profit theatre company committed to producing theatrical experiences that reflect the interests and experiences of the Millennial Generation. They aim to produce generation relevant content through musicals, millennial-created and written works, workshops, and other various theatrical experiences.

Berko review: Alfred Hitchcock's THE39 STEPS
by Roy Berko 01 May '22

01 May '22

* •••••••••••••••••••••••••••* *Capsule judgment: Having seen superb productions of THE 39 STEPS in London and Canada, the level was high for my attending the show at GLT. Unfortunately, though the local staging is adequate, it was not all that the staging of the clever script can be. The pacing was much too slow and the absurdity too controlled. Audiences not aware of what could be may be delighted by the Jaclyn Miller directed show. Those in the know will probably be disappointed.* *To read the entire review go to: *https://royberkinfo.blogspot.com/ *To read the capsule judgements of the other Cleveland reviewers go to: * *www.clevelandtheaterreviews.com* <http://www.clevelandtheaterreviews.com/> *••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••*

Baldwin Wallace Senior Showcase at Beaumont This Coming Friday
by Bruce Hennes 01 May '22

01 May '22

*The Baldwin Wallace Musical Theater Department, Beaumont School and JWP Productions Present* *The Baldwin Wallace Music Theater* *Senior Class Showcase* *Opening act to be announced* *Friday, May 6, 2022* *Location: Beaumont School in Cleveland Heights* *6:30 pm show* / $20 per person / Order tickets here: https://www.instantseats.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=home.event&eventid=0277F6… *8:30 pm show* / $20 per person / Order tickets here: https://www.instantseats.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=home.event&eventid=0277F7… Both shows are the same. After four grueling years of school, the Baldwin Wallace Musical Theater seniors went to New York City in mid-April and put it all on the line. They spent months creating and rehearsing an original, exciting, tightly-choreographed, non-stop theatrical production to showcase each student in front of the Broadway casting directors and agents who have the power to put them on stage in regional touring productions, cruise ships, TV shows and movies - and the ultimate goal for many, the Broadway stage. The Senior Showcase took place in Manhattan last month, but the students are bringing this show to the Beaumont School stage one last time this coming Friday, May 6 at 6:30 pm, repeating the show at 8:30 pm -- and at the very end, when they all join hands and take that final bow, it will be the last time this group of students ever appear together on a single stage. For more than 15 years, we did this showcase on the Nighttown stage, It was always an emotional experience for the kids, their parents – and the audience, too. This is a show you won't want to miss. --------------------------------------------------------- For group sales (10 tickets or more) or questions, call Bruce Hennes at 216-978-2047. *PARKING INFORMATION* - The theater at Beaumont School in Cleveland Heights is on Fairmount Blvd., just east of Lee Road. The entrance to the theater is "behind" Beaumont - - Do NOT use the front entrance to Beaumont on North Park. - We are anticipating a sell-out audience for both shows, so parking in the Beaumont lot immediately adjacent to the theater is going to be tight. Once that parking lot is filled to capacity, we'll block off the lot and you will find parking on the adjacent side streets. - Because of this, please allow a little extra time to arrive before the show. - Ticket buyers will receive complete, easy-to-read directions before the event. *COVID-19 Policy: We are going to use whatever policy Playhouse Square has in-place at the time of performance. As of today (and subject to change at any time), audience members are encouraged, but not mandated to wear a mask. Guests who are unvaccinated must wear a mask. We ask that all audience members be respectful of one another's choices. Guests exhibiting symptoms of COVID-19 or who have tested positive within the last 14 days must stay home. * -- *Hennes Communications* Crisis Communications | Reputation Management | Litigation Communications | Media Training w 216-321-7774 ext. 101 | c 216-978-2047 <hennes(a)crisiscommunications.com>| www.crisiscommunications.com
