The Case Western Reserve University/Cleveland Play House MFA Acting Program presents The Cherry Orchard by Anton Chekhov, directed by Eleanor Holdridge, November 6 -16 in the Helen Theatre. The Cherry Orchard follows a family of down-on-their-luck aristocrats as they grapple with the prospect of selling their beloved estate. As the cherry trees blossom, so do the complexities of love, loss, and the relentless passage of time. This theatrical masterpiece explores what happens when echoes of the past meet the inevitability of change. The Cherry Orchard reveals complex and colorful characters that blend humor and heartache as they encounter the absurdities that abound in simply leading one’s life. This literary classic by Anton Chekhov springs to life in a production featuring the Class of 2026.

Play On! Auditions at Aurora Community Theatre
by services＠auroracommunitytheatre.com 22 Oct '24

22 Oct '24

Auditions for Play On! https://www.auroracommunitytheatre.com/upcoming-auditions Directed by Brian Westerley AUDITION DATES Sunday, Nov. 17, 7-9pm Tuesday, Nov. 19, 7-9pm PERFORMANCE DATES January 17 - February 8, 2025 Fri & Sat shows @ 7:30pm One plucky community theater is about to produce a show called Murder Most Foul, a new “murder mystery play” with the same title as an Agatha Christie novel but with no relation whatsoever. The director/theater manager, Gerry, thought producing the play was a good idea since the inexperienced playwright has agreed to let the company perform the show for no charge. Gerry, however, had no idea what disasters awaited her: the show is hilariously amateur, the “murder mystery” plot doesn’t really have a murder, and to top it off the playwright keeps changing the story and script only two days from its premiere! It doesn’t help that the cast is disgruntled, and the playwright accidentally deletes the entire sound effect board. All of the disasters come to fruition in Act III when the company performs the actual show with hilarious mishaps at every turn. Play On! is a hilarious love letter to community theater. “Play On!” is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc. www.concordtheatricals.com https://www.auroracommunitytheatre.com/upcoming-auditions
