Applicants must have at least three years of theatre experience through various productions, classes, or other opportunities. - Previous experience of working with young people is required, however these experiences do not have to be theatre related.

All positions and roles are volunteer, no compensation given. *THE STORY:* Cut off from the outside world by its remote location and shunned by all who know its forbidding and sinister reputation, Hill House has remained empty and silent except for the daily visits of its grumbling caretaker, Mrs. Dudley. Its isolation is broken by the arrival of Dr. Montague, an investigator of supernatural phenomena who has been granted a short lease by the present owner. His mission is to delve into the morbid history of the house and to come to grips with the occult forces that have made it uninhabitable for many years. He is joined by three others, all unacquainted, but all having their particular reasons for accepting Dr. Montague’s invitation to share his Hill House sojourn. Their visit begins with jovial informality, but their sensibilities are soon jolted by strange and eerie occurrences. As they struggle to disguise their mounting fears they are joined by Dr. Montague’s wife and a friend, who have come to Hill House for purposes of their own. They too are absorbed by the supernatural, but their approach is via direct communication with the departed spirits—a type of psychic research which is regarded fearfully by Dr. Montague and which, as subsequent events bear out, brings on a crisis in which the evil forces of Hill House are goaded to a new and, for one of those present, fatal fury. -- Shannan Kurjian OCT Business Manager 330-439-2051 www.orrvillecommunitytheater.org Find us on Facebook & Instagram!

voice acting class coming up
by Colors Audio 09 Aug '23

09 Aug '23

We’re exactly one month away from the start of Dan Popp’s Voice Acting Fundamentals Class! If you wanted to be a welder you wouldn’t go on Amazon and buy a welding torch & a welding helmet, then post, “Where my welding jobs at?!?” So why do aspiring voice actors do that? We understand that being a good welder takes training and skill. You know what? Becoming a competent voice actor is the same - it’s a process of acquiring techniques that can be turned into skills. What kind of skills? Well, the client’s looking for someone who can “bring my script to life.” That sounds like a whole bunch of skills to me. You’re not just going to fall out of bed one day and do that. On September 9th, half a dozen area folks will begin the training. Hope to see you in that group.

Second weekend Tiny Beautiful Things at TMPAC
by Claudia Lillibridge 09 Aug '23

09 Aug '23

Twin Masks Performing Arts Center, located at 9076 Church Street <https://www.google.com/maps/search/9076+Church+Street?entry=gmail&source=g>, in Twinsburg, is proud to announce its second weekend of performances of Tiny Beautiful Things, based on the bestselling book by Cheryl Strayed and adapted for the stage by Nia Vardalos, and directed by Laurel K. Bryant. Performances are on Friday and Saturday evenings at 8pm on August 11, 12, 18, and 19. Adult tickets are $15 and Senior/ Student tickets are $10. Tickets can be purchased online at www.twinmasks.org or in person at the box office, which opens at 7:30pm on performance nights. Twin Masks is an intimate, 50 seat theatre and we strongly recommend purchasing tickets beforehand. PLEASE NOTE THE PRODUCTION CONTAINS STRONG ADULT LANGUAGE AND SITUATIONS. NOT RECOMMENDED FOR THOSE 18 YEARS OR YOUNGER. Tiny Beautiful Things personifies the questions and answers that “Sugar” was publishing online from 2010-2012. When the struggling writer was asked to take over the unpaid, anonymous position of advice columnist, Strayed used empathy and her personal experiences to help those seeking guidance for obstacles both large and small. Tiny Beautiful Things is a play about reaching when you’re stuck, healing when you’re broken, and finding the courage to take on the questions which have no answers. Truly an actors’ piece that takes the audience on a roller coaster.
