Vintage Photos For Artists/Creatives
by Elroy Johnson-Smith 18 Jan '24

18 Jan '24

Several dozen vintage photos: black-and-white, sepia, color, glossy, matte WWI era through 1960s, many from WWII Sizes range from 1.75” x 2" (about the size of a slide) to 5” x 7” (borderless) • Sailors galore, in—and out of!—uniform. (Add your own context…) • Tough guys, mugs, wisenheimers, old midcentury-era White men, salt-of-the-earth dames dripping with Midwestern grit, and more… • Fabulous fashion at work and at rest • Other people’s kids (one’s sat on a tree stump, another in crib screaming their head off, and more antics; hilarious and adorable, one and all!) • Planes, boats, ships, seascapes, airshow, auto show, island paradises and other vistas, an intense tug o’ war at a company picnic, etc. • Hardcore immigrants and OG Goths fresh off the boat Some photos have identifying info that is sure to provide years of fun and intrigue for genealogy sleuths! Ideal for sassy collage and decoupage art, greeting-card/postcard/stationery design, royalty-free t-shirts and other printable wearable designs, placement in collage frames to terrifyingly decorate kids’ rooms, writing prompts, etc. Uses are limited only by the limits of your imagination! Was trying to sell this collection for a nominal fee these pics as certain gougey second-hand stores might (for a not-so-nominal fee), but am willing to them give away just to be assured that someone will give at least some of them new life. Pick up ASAP in Lakewood.

Cleveland Public Theatre and Teatro Público de Cleveland present Alter<https://www.cptonline.org/performances/seasons/2023-2024/alter-2/> By Tania Benites Directed by Kari Barclay February 8-24, 2024 Cleveland Public Theatre and Teatro Público de Cleveland present the highly anticipated World Premiere of Alter by Tania Benites.

ALTER explores the difficulties of being a quiet person in a loud world, toxic self-help culture, and the myth that you must always be leveling up to be successful. ALTER is a co-production with Teatro Público de Cleveland. Featuring: Alisha Caraballo, Mónica A. Cerpa Zúñiga, Sylka Edmonson, Andrea de la Fuente, Lionel Morales, Rajah Morales, David L.

OPEN AUDITIONS: "Don’t Dress for Dinner" a comedy by Marc Camoletti Adapted by Robin Hawdon Bernard is planning a romantic weekend with his chic Parisian mistress in his charming converted French farmhouse, whilst his wife, Jacqueline, is away. He has arranged for a cordon bleu cook to prepare gourmet delights, and has invited his best friend, Robert, along too to provide the alibi. It’s foolproof; what could possibly go wrong? Well… suppose Robert turns up not realizing quite why he has been invited. Suppose Robert and Jacqueline are secret lovers, and consequently determined that Jacqueline will NOT leave for the weekend. Suppose the cook has to pretend to be the mistress and the mistress can’t cook. Suppose everyone’s alibi gets confused with everyone else’s.
