Workshop Players Still Seeking Directors for 2023-2024 Season
by Workshop Players 22 Jul '22

22 Jul '22

July 22, 2022 Thank you to those directors who have already submitted applications to direct at Workshop Players Theater in the 2023-2024 season. We welcome further applications. We are starting from scratch with this process and need full applications, with thanks to all. *The deadline for applying is 10 days away …August 1, 2022. * *Due to the cost of production Workshop Players would do no more than one musical in a season, so if submitting musicals also include some straight plays to increase your chance of being chosen to direct.* We would love Christmas plays, children’s plays, plays that are not necessarily standards. We love comedies, but don’t shy away from dramas. How about melodramas? How about mysteries? Let’s engage our audiences! *Please submit to Play Reading Committee Chair Pat Price at* joeandpatprice(a)centurytel.net **if you have NOT directed with us before, please include a theatrical resume * **SUBMIT 4-5 PLAYS OR MUSICALS that you would be interested in directing at Workshop, along with a synopsis of the play (*may be copied and pasted from licensing agent)*. * *** **Give a brief summary of why you believe the play would be effective in our unique theater-in-the-round space. * **Please be prepared to have at least one copy of each script available for the play reading committee should you be selected as one of the directors. * Workshop Players Theater is a non-profit, fully volunteer theater. It is the longest-running theater-in-the-round in Ohio (minus the pandemic break). We have a strong following in the surrounding community and hope that you would like to be part of our theatre family. Submitting directors may be interviewed by the Board of Trustees in August. >From directors’ submissions, we will strive to put together a balanced season. We strongly believe that directors who have an investment in the plays they send to us is important, which is why we ask for your lists instead of choosing a season then looking to find directors. We hope that you embrace this approach. Thank you for your interest in our theater. Pat Price Play Reading Committee Chair Workshop Players Theater Amherst, OH 44001 -- Workshop Players 44820 Middle Ridge Road, Amherst, OH 44001 Box Office: 440-634-0472 (Box Office hours: 9 a.m. to 7 p.m.) Find us on Facebook!

Seeking Pianist for Music Performance and Rehearsal - Well Paid
by Anthony Covatta 22 Jul '22

22 Jul '22

I'm a local singer-songwriter, I play guitar and sing. Mostly originals and need accompaniment for covers. I have a string of gigs coming up and really need some support with my set. The goal I have is to support my originals with some piano embellishments and riffs and simply accompany me on covers. Looking to fill about 2 hours worth of performance time. We'll do covers of both music and theatrical songs as I have a rich history in theatre as well. I need someone who I can rehearse with and is willing to become a regular partner in performance for me. Potentially in writing and recording on my new EP which is in the works, you'd receive writing credit and royalties if that's the case. First gig is 8/12 Please let me know if you're interested, serious inquiries only. Thanks much -AC

22 Jul '22

INSURRECTION: HOLDING HISTORYby Robert O'Hara, directed by Jeannine Gaskin. A collage-and-meta exploration wherein a modern-day black graduate student finds himself and his 189-yr-old grandfather transported back to slavery times and the Nat Turner rebellion. Insurrection is a work unafraid to utterly confound most traditional narrative assumptions, and in a surreal version of history also manages to address contemporary police violence against African-Americans, to explore who has the right to tell whose story, to look critically at African-American attitudes toward homosexuality, and to explore how different generations adhere to different rules. AUDITIONS Monday & Tuesday, August 8 & 9 7-9:30 PM Sign up here: https://forms.gle/yArJka9aEtvvudk48 VIDEO AUDITIONS are also being accepted until Friday August 5th 11:59PM.

A greedy landlord and mysterious events shake the community into an awakening that sparks a revolution of thought. To succeed, they must begin to see one another truly for the first time. Inspired by familiar myths and legends, The Myth of Me urges us to ask what we really know of one another and ourselves. What are the truths, what are the lies, and what exists for all of us in the space between? Is our fate predetermined, or must we act to create our own destiny? Infused with music and dance, this original piece offers joy, humor, and heart. Created by a team of talented Cleveland youth with guidance from professional local artists, The Myth of Me celebrates the important stories which exist within us all.
