"NO EXIT" AUDITIONS AT LCCC
by Jeremy Benjamin 13 Sep '22

13 Sep '22

NO EXIT By Jean-Paul Sartre Adapted from the French by Paul Bowles Directed by Stephanie Wilbert Lorain County Community College announces non-equity auditions for our upcoming production of NO EXIT. We are seeking four performers and various production positions for this production. *Available Roles* - *Cradeau *– He is a journalist from Rio and the first to arrive in the room. A firing squad shot him for attempting to desert during a war. He is also the best of the three prisoners at dealing with damnation. He recognizes that the three of them have been grouped to make each other miserable and thinks they should remain silent in their respective corners. He continually tries to make peace with himself and the people he hurt during his lifetime. He does not question his damnation, easily recalling how awful he had been to his wife. When given a chance to leave, he chooses to stay, hoping to convince Inez that he is not a coward. - *Inez *– A self-described “damned bitch,” she is the second prisoner and also the most hostile. She has been a postal clerk and thinks she is in hell for seducing a friend’s wife. While Inez was asleep, her lover killed them both by leaving the gas on. She says that she does not like men and instantly detests everything about Garcin. However, she finds Estelle very attractive and tries to seduce her. She offers to be Estelle’s “mirror” by describing her physical appearance but ends up frightening her. After laughing off Estelle’s attempt to kill her with a paper knife, she agrees to let Garcin try and convince her that he is not a coward. - *Estelle *– The third and final prisoner, she is also the most frightened. She desperately wants to see her reflection in a mirror and swears that she does not belong in hell, having just died of pneumonia. Inez tries to seduce her, but she says that she needs to be with a man. She eventually confesses to not only having an affair but also drowning her lover’s baby. Garcin is momentarily drawn to her but chooses instead to focus all his energy on Inez. She tries to kill Inez, forgetting that they are all already dead. - *Bellboy *– A taciturn representative of the devil. He shows each prisoner to their room, answers their questions, and promptly leaves. There is a call bell in the room, but he doesn’t always answer it. LCCC Theatre embraces diversity and inclusion and utilizes a non-traditional casting policy. Non-Traditional Casting is a method designed to increase artistic options by expanding casting opportunities for women, actors of color, seniors, and actors with disabilities in roles where race, gender, age or the presence or absence of a disability are not germane.

Beck Center Offers Doggie Deal
by Scott Spence 12 Sep '22

12 Sep '22

Our production of “The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time” requires a prop we are having a ruff time with——a 3 to 4 month old Golden Retriever puppy! In order to make this happen….we have what we think is a great deal for YOU. Working with several breeders in the region, Beck Center will pay 50% of the cost of your new Golden Retriever puppy as long as we can use him or her on stage through our run ending Oct. 16th. If you’d like to take possession of the pup next week that works….as long as you can be a Doggie Uber or Lyft for our performances. But, we also can provide room and board for your new forever friend through the end of the run if you’d be willing to forego that month of bonding —- so you would not have to take care of show transportation. Up to you! Either way…we have you covered. If you have interest in this, please reply to this email right away—-first come, first serve. We can detail the maximum allowable cost/reimbursement, gender selection, etc. This is a perfect opportunity for the family who’s been considering added a furry loved one to their clan. Email me at either scottdavidspence(a)gmail.com or scotts(a)beckcenter.org

Berko review: BUYER & CELLAR @ Beck Center
by Roy Berko 12 Sep '22

12 Sep '22

*•••••••••••••••••••••••••••* *CAPSULE JUDGMENT: BUYER AND CELLAR is a show that will delight gay audiences who will be able to laugh at themselves, as well as appreciate their perceived hero-worship of the world of divas, but should be a fun experience for the uninitiated into all things gay. Scott Esposito gives a finely tuned performance in this well-conceived play. So, “bubalah,” If you want to escape from the world of covid and political stress, go see B&C, you may get “verklempt.” * *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/> *••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••*
