Location: Blank Canvas Theatre 1305 78th Street, Suite 211 (at 78th Street Studios) Cleveland, OH 44102 The Stories DISASTER! It's 1979, and New York's hottest A-listers are lining up for the opening of a floating casino and discotheque. Also attending is a faded disco star, a sexy nightclub singer with her eleven-year-old twins, a disaster expert, a feminist reporter, an older couple with a secret, a pair of young guys who are looking for ladies, an untrustworthy businessman and a nun with a gambling addiction. What begins as a night of boogie fever quickly changes to panic as the ship succumbs to multiple disasters, such as earthquakes, tidal waves and infernos. As the night turns into day, everyone struggles to survive and, quite possibly, repair the love that they've lost... or at least escape the killer rats. Disaster! is a new musical straight from Broadway, featuring some of the most unforgettable songs of the '70s. "Knock on Wood," "Hooked on a Feeling," "Sky High," "I Am Woman" and "Hot Stuff" are just a few of the scintillating hits in this hilarious musical comedy with a book by three-time Emmy Award nominee and SiriusXM Broadway host, Seth Rudetsky, and Jack Plotnick. PIPPIN Heir to the Frankish throne, the young prince Pippin is in search of the secret to true happiness and fulfillment. He seeks it in the glories of the battlefield, the temptations of the flesh and the intrigues of political power (after disposing of his father, King Charlemagne the Great). In the end, though, Pippin finds that happiness lies not in extraordinary endeavors, but rather in the unextraordinary moments that happen every day. With an infectiously unforgettable score from four-time Grammy winner, three-time Oscar winner and musical theatre giant, Stephen Schwartz, Pippin is the story of one young man's journey to be extraordinary. Winner of four 2013 Tony Awards including Best Musical Revival, this updated circus-inspired version of Pippin continues to captivate and appeal to the young at heart throughout the world. Character Breakdowns * The age range for each character is flexible and ALL ethnicities and body types will be considered. A Multi-Ethnic/Multi-Racial cast of ALL ages, genders, sizes, and races are needed. The below character tracks may be changed or altered based on those that audition.

When the ailing Alfred is quarantined, Alice encourages him to escape with her into their cherished book and journey down the rabbit hole to Wonderland.

This world premiere musical encourages us all to celebrate the transformational power of the imagination, even in the harshest of times. Character Breakdown We encourage actors of all genders, races, ethnicities, and abilities to audition. This production is meant to be embodied by a diverse cast, and our goal is for the characters to be representative of the actors playing them.

Fine Tune Your On Camera Commercial & Industrials this April on Wednesdays 4:30-6PM ET at the Houde School of Acting studio in Cleveland!

This will help you go into your audition confidently and book it. Each week students will receive a short script and they will have time to break it down and then perform it. Following their performance Jessica will give feedback and guidance to help each student perfect their technique. Students will learn: - The difference between commercial & industrial - How to handle both speaking and non-speaking roles - What to expect from auditions to book the role - How to cold read - How to handle last minute changes and redirects - When and how to use improv or add a button. - Self-tape auditions vs in person auditions Class Location: Houde School of Acting 2310 Superior Ave. Cleveland, OH 44114 Suite #015 Class Time: Wednesday 4:30-6pm ET Class Teacher: Jessica Houde-Morris Cost: Free for the first 8 New Students!
