Ongoing Paid Acting Gig for Edutainment Theatre Piece
by Craig Joseph 11 May '23

11 May '23

GETTING TO WE <https://gettingtowe.org/> is an organization dedicated to the work of equity, diversity, and inclusion generally, and to helping Black and White people build, develop, and maintain cross-racial friendships and relationships over time. The founder, Dr. Deborah Plummer, has recently developed a theatrical piece, *To My White Friends Who Know Me*, based on her book, that consists of three short vignettes that run about 80 minutes in total. The piece premiered at Karamu House in November to sold out houses and is now entering its second phase of life. The "edutainment" piece will travel to corporations, churches, community centers, and more where it will serve as the starting point for conversations that Dr. Plummer and her team will facilitate with leaders, employees, congregants, and more in each of these locations. Some of these outings will be local, some will be around Ohio, and some will be out of state. Here's a sampling of what is already booked, and more is coming. June 14-17: Cleveland School for the Arts > September 9-10: Cleveland Forest Hills Church > October 7-8: Coral Gables (Miami), FL > November 3-4: Sheffield Lake, OH > Some of the original cast members are still involved, but the reality is that not everyone will be able to do all of the booked dates, so Getting to We is recruiting two or three more actors for each role, so that we have a full team of actors and can get all of these dates filled. *At this time, we are seeking to cast Black men and women of any age.* Team members will receive $22/hour for rehearsals and will all get a chance to learn the show; brush-up rehearsals before each performance will be paid at the same rate. Each performance will pay $200 - and travel (plus lodging and meals when it's out of state) will be covered. Once we form the team, we'll go through all the dates and figure out who's doing which dates. If you're interested in being considered: 1. *Confirm that you are definitely available for the June 14-17 dates;* we will check availability for other dates later. 2. Send a headshot and resume *by EOD on Tuesday, May 16th *to craigjose(a)gmail.com. 3. I will follow up then to schedule and confirm. Feel free to reach out to craigjose(a)gmal.com with any questions. Thanks in advance for your submissions!

Watch the trailer for OF MICE AND MEN - Blank Canvas Theatre
by info blankcanvastheatre.com 11 May '23

11 May '23

"Blank Canvas's OF MICE AND MEN is a compelling piece of theatre. This is an absolutely must-see production filled with fine acting and focused staging." Blank Canvas Theatre Presents OF MICE AND MEN By John Steinbeck May 11 - 20 Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays at 8:00pm Sundays at 7:00pm This critically acclaimed revival from our first season is still relevant today. Hope slams headlong into a wall of tragic bad luck in this tale of migrant workers in Depression-era California. A seemingly impossible American Dream fuels sadness, yet the depth of tragedy is balanced by joy and friendship, hope and aspiration. In George and Lenny, we have one of literature's most memorable friendships. As relevant now as it ever was, Steinbeck's play follows his novel closely. An intimate portrait of two men facing a world marked by petty tyranny, misunderstanding, jealousy, and callousness, Of Mice and Men explores questions of strength, weakness, usefulness, reality and utopia in Depression-Era California. RATED: PG-13 RUN TIME: 2hr 10min WARNING: There are some disturbing words that the playwright (John Steinbeck) included which was reflective of the vernacular used during the period of the The Great Depression (1929-1939). ADDITIONAL TRIGGER & CONTENT WARNING: This play contains the following; racism, ableism, misogyny, murder, gun violence, and animal death.

All out War Scene for Feature Film
by Andrew Chapman 10 May '23

10 May '23

My Name is Andrew Chapman and I have been having a blast filming my sequel Zombie Feature Film "Scavenged". But I'm making a call for May 20th and especially on the 21st I need as many extras and background characters. I'm looking to create something that no one has ever seen before in an Indie Film which is All out War between two apocalyptic communities. We will be Filming at an old Farm in Dalton Ohio. Call time will be 9am. May 20th. I need people to be human extras and be a part of a brutal show and cheer on the leader as he makes an example out of trespassers. Also on the 20th watch as an extra kills me the Director in a very fun fashion On May 21st I need as many hands on deck as I need zombies and humans 2 wage a full out assault war of the 2 main camps in the film. People and zombies will die (on screen). Plenty of opportunity for extras or background to be seen on screen and potential of having dialogue. If you make it out any day to help on this incredible sequel film it should be the 21st because when my cameras are pointed in another direction or focused elsewhere any zombies can help out a friend's Film who wants to use the same location. So 1 set 1 role and up to 4 credits for zombies. So if you are an actor/actress, looking to be involved with an award winning film crew, or just wanted to be involved with an extra film project in NE Ohio then May 20th and 21st is your weekend to come out and have some fun!!! If we pull this off this will be one for the record books!! And something that NE Ohio has never seen before. Anyone who is seriously Interested is to email Deadeyeproductions22(a)gmail.com. Subject: All Out War Even if your shy or on the fence take the chance come out and see in person why everyone has been having fun on the set of "Scavenged" - Andrew Chapman

FINAL weekend Beck Center Youth Theater
by Julie Gilliland 10 May '23

10 May '23

Final Weekend! Beck Center For The Arts' Joyful Youth Theater Musical Once Upon A Mattress Lakewood, OH-<https://www.lakewoodoh.gov/>Beck Center for the Arts<https://www.beckcenter.org/youth-theater>, one of the oldest continuously running Youth Theater programs in the nation is proud to announce the delightful Youth Theater musical production, Once Upon A Mattress. Running until May 14, 2023, this reimagining of the classic fairytale story will be brought to life by talented young performers ages 6-19 in an unforgettable performance that is sure to captivate audiences of all ages. Once Upon a Mattress, with music by Mary Rodgers, lyrics by Marshall Barer, book by Jay Thompson, Dean Fuller, and Marshall Barer, is a humorous adaptation of the 1835 Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale The Princess and the Pea. The Queen decreed no couples can marry until her son, Prince Dauntless, finds a bride. Princesses came from far and wide to win the hand of the prince, but none could pass the impossible tests given to them by the Queen. Will the "shy" Princess Winnifred be able to pass the Queen's sensitivity test, and marry her prince? Once Upon A Mattress is a delightful musical that is sure to delight the whole family. Sarah Clare, Associate Director of Theater Education, director and choreographer of this production states, "It is an exciting challenge to explore this staple in the musical theater cannon with our incredible students. Although the show was first produced off-Broadway in 1959, the show has many elements and themes that are important for our students and families today. Conversations in rehearsals have ranged from the negative effects of gender stereotypes presented in the show, to the effects of people in power controlling who can and cannot get married. Amongst the humor and hard work the students are doing in the show, it is wonderful to hear their thoughts, and engage in meaningful conversations about the world inside and outside of theater." This production runs until May 14, 2023 in the Senney Theater. Friday and Saturday performances at 7:30 p.m. Sunday performances at 3:00 p.m. and a Student Matinee on Thursday, May 11, 2023 at 10:00 a.m. Ticket prices are $14 Adult/Senior, and $12 Children/Student (ages 18 & under). Please reserve tickets at beckcenter.org<https://www.beckcenter.org/youth-theater>, call 216.521.2540 or simply stop by Beck Center Customer Service in person. This show is produced with special arrangement by Concord Theatricals Beck Center for the Arts' Youth Theater alumni include Michael Chernus (Orange Is the New Black; Manhattan); Dee Hoty (three-time Tony Nominee); Isabela Merced (Dora and the Lost City of Gold; Transformers: The Last Night); Rory O'Malley (Hamilton; Tony Nominee, Book of Mormon); and Daniel Reichard (Drama Desk Nominee, Jersey Boys).
