Venus in Fur opens Aug 2 at Twin Masks
by Claudia Lillibridge 24 Jul '24

24 Jul '24

Twin Masks Performing Arts Center (TMPAC) is proud to announce its upcoming production, Venus in Fur, written by David Ives, and directed by Brian Westerley, opening on Friday, August 2, with remaining performances on August 3, 9, 10, 16 and 17. Adult tickets $15 / Senior and Student tickets $10. Tickets can be purchased online at our website, www.twinmasks.org, or you can call our box office at 330-888-3211. Tickets are also available at the door. TMPAC is located at 9076 Church Street, Suites 2 and 3 in the heart of Twinsburg, right off the Square. We are an intimate, 50-seat black box experimental theatre. Cast of Venus in Fur includes Matthew Andrus as Thomas Novachek and Anna Popa as Vanda Jordan. PLEASE NOTE: The play contains strong adult language and adult situations and is not recommended for those 18 years of age and younger. "Venus in Fur" by David Ives is a two-person play that explores power dynamics, gender roles, and the line between reality and fiction. It follows Thomas, a playwright and director who is frustrated by the lack of suitable actresses for his adaptation of a 19th-century novel, "Venus in Furs." When Vanda, a seemingly unprepared and brash actress, arrives late for an audition, she surprises Thomas with her uncanny understanding of the character and the text. As they engage in a provocative and intense audition, the roles blur between actor and director, and reality intertwines with the play's script, leading to a compelling examination of dominance, submission, and the nature of desire. TMPAC is a registered 501c3 non-profit entity. Rights secured by Broadway Licensing Inc. Sent from my iPhone

IMMEDIATE RELEASE: MILLENNIAL THEATRE COMPANY OPENS MONTY PYTHON'S SPAMALOT THIS FRIDAY FOR TWO WEEKEND RUN!
by The Millennial Theatre Company 23 Jul '24

23 Jul '24

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE July 23, 2024 Monty Python's Spamalot Opens this Weekend at the Youngstown Playhouse! YOUNGSTOWN, OH – The Millennial Theatre Company (MTC) presents *Monty Python's* Spamalot at the Youngstown Playhouse (600 Playhouse Ln, Youngstown, OH 44511), Friday, July 26, Saturday, July 27 at 7:30 and Sunday, July 28 at 2:30pm, Friday, August 2 and Saturday, August 3 at 7:30pm, Sunday, August 4 at 2:30pm. MONTY PYTHON’S SPAMALOT retells the legend of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table, and features a bevy of beautiful show girls, not to mention cows, killer rabbits, and French people. Did we mention the bevy of beautiful showgirls? The outrageous, uproarious, and gloriously entertaining story of King Arthur and the Lady of the Lake will delight audiences as they search for the Holy Grail and “always look on the bright side of life.” Director Joe Asente states that this musical is the perfect summer production for MTC, "We always try to pick a summer show that is fun, splashy, light, and an escape from reality, and I think Spamalot is all of that and more. We have had a somewhat dark season of shows this year, so we thought it was more important than ever for us to pick a fun, lighthearted show to round out our season. The show encourages you to Always Look On The Bright Side of Life, and there is no better way to do that than to take in this hilarious romp of a musical this weekend and next!" Asente continued, "This show has something for everyone. Fans of the movie *Monty Python and the Holy Grail* will see all of their favorite moments translated to the stage in a way that honors the original. Those unfamiliar with the source material will not be lost, however, as the show is hilarious on its own, and also totally reinvents several elements of the movie and not only spoofs the story of King Arthur, but also the genre of musical theatre as a whole, so there is truly something for everyone!" Spamalot has enjoyed great success since its opening, and Asente states that MTC hopes to continue that success with their production, “Spamalot is a beloved musical theatre piece that even took home the big prize on Tony Awards night back when it opened, and has since enjoyed a national tour, and even a Broadway revival this past season. The show is about to be restricted again due to another planned tour next season, so this is the final chance for audiences to see the show without paying Broadway prices for some time. Therefore, there has never been a better time to come check this out!" The cast includes: Nate Beagle, Brandy Johantges, Ryan Lamb, George Maillis, Edward Bazzell, Ben Doss, Tom Kijauskas, Ty Hanes, Andy Scott, Jillian Hibbard, Aubrey Verno, Rebecca Williams, Sydney Campbell, Sammie Gurd, Hannah Sinclair, Steve Millsap, Josh Cummings, Daniel Chiaberta, Sam Campbell, Ethan Blevis, Roz Blystone, Michelle Jalbert, and Paula Stehphenson. Directed by Joe Asente with music direction by Cari Auth and choreography by Danielle Mentzer. Tickets start at $20 and are available online at www.millennialtheatre.org OR www.youngstownplayhouse.org.
