Happy New Year! (Please Read: IMPORTANT MESSAGE from Fred, Noah, Dan & Conrad about NEohioPAL)
by Fred Sternfeld 01 Jan '24

01 Jan '24

Dear Subscribers, Happy New Year! We hope you had a fantastic holiday season and that live performance opportunities are starting to open up once again for you, or your organization. The last (almost) two years have been tough on everybody. As you might be aware, every year we normally do a one month campaign asking for contributions in support of Neohiopal. Last year we decided not to do a formalized campaign at all since so many people and organizations were so adversely impacted economically. Even with no campaign for funds, some of you generously contributed anyway. Those people (and also from 2020) who contributed and chose to have their name or organization listed are at this link <http://www.fredsternfeld.com/neohiopal/northeast-ohio-performing-arts-list-…> . This email is the launch of our one month campaign for contributions to support Neohiopal. If it is within your means, or your organization's budget to contribute, your support is greatly appreciated. NEohioPAL is now in its 24th year of providing people like you a valuable tool that draws together Northeast Ohio's arts community. Your donation keeps this unique performing arts resource alive and free to all readers and posters. NEohioPAL supporters are performers, artists and arts lovers who recognize the value of staying in touch with our region's arts scene. They are also people who realize that we have some very real expenses: web hosting, bandwidth, utilities, supplies and our time keeping the site free of SPAM and running smoothly. If you have ever learned of an audition, found a job, promoted your event or had a great night out at a performance, please consider supporting our efforts through a donation. To donate, please go to http://www.fredsternfeld.com/support-neohiopal/. At that site you will find many ways to volunteer your financial support: Paypal, Venmo, Google Pay, Apple Pay, Zelle or by check. Here are suggestions to help you decide what to donate: 3 cents per day = $10 per year 14 cents per day = $50 per year 20 cents per day = $75 per year *27 cents per day = $100 per year* *50 cents per day = $182.50 per year* *1 dollar per day = $365 per year* Thanks for your participation in making the arts scene in Northeast Ohio vibrant and collaborative. Warm Regards, Fred Sternfeld <http://t.sidekickopen08.com/e1t/c/5/f18dQhb0S7lC8dDMPbW2n0x6l2B9nMJW7t5XZs5…> NEohioPAL founder and administrator Noah Budin <http://t.sidekickopen08.com/e1t/c/5/f18dQhb0S7lC8dDMPbW2n0x6l2B9nMJW7t5XZs5…>, Daniel Alpern NEohioPAL associate administrators Conrad Yoder Webmaster P.S. We will post this message to NEohioPAL several times over the next month. After that, we will not do a direct "ask" again until this time next year. If a modest donation is not in your budget this month, information on how to support NEohioPAL will always be in the footer of each message. http://www.fredsternfeld.com/support-neohiopal/ fredsternfeld(a)neohiopal.org http://www.fredsternfeld.com/neohiopal/ <http://www.fredsternfeld.com/neohiopal.htm>

Dear Theater Friends!!!! I am writing to extend a heartfelt invitation to each one of you to attend the auditions for our upcoming production of "Our Town" produced by my new theater group, Summit Hill Players. Your director will be Claudia Lillibridge. Claudia has a way of bringing out the best in everyone and the results are always a good show. She has had many past successes like "Something Rotten", "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf", and now "Curtains" at Hudson players. "Our Town" is a play that holds great significance for us as theater artists. Thornton Wilder's timeless masterpiece explores the fragility and richness of human existence, inviting the audience to reflect upon the simple yet profound moments that make up our lives. It is a story that resonates universally, reminding us of the beauty in life's ordinary moments and the importance of cherishing every day. I have worked with many of you, and I truly believe that you possess the ability to bring this production to life in an extraordinary way. Your depth of emotional range, and your ability to connect with audiences will undoubtedly shine through during auditions. I have absolute confidence that together we can create an unforgettable production. -Auditions are Sunday February 4th, and Monday February 5th 7 to 9 pm, At the United Methodist Church of Chagrin Falls. 20 S. Franklin St. 44022. Performances here as well. -The rehearsals are from Sunday to Tuesday 7 to 9pm. Show will be cast quickly. -Cast will be called/scheduled as needed. This will be a very simplified production. -The performance dates for Our Town are as follows: -April 18th preview 7:30pm - April 19th 7:30pm - April 20th 7:30pm - April 21st 2:00pm - April 26th 7:30pm - April 27th 7:30pm -April 28th 2:00pm Thank you for considering my invitation, and for being a part of this remarkable theater community.
