Improving how you sing
by Paul Kroeger 20 Jun '25

20 Jun '25

Paul Kroeger <letgo2sing(a)gmail.com> to neohiopal Paul Kroeger continues to offer voice and breathing lessons to advanced singers as well as to those less-advanced. The old saying: " If you don't breathe, you don't sing" can be understood at, say, a casual level, but there is a much deeper meaning to that, too. And it applies to speech mode as well. If you are still running out of air during certain phrases, come and see me. If you are beginning to run short of air because you are getting older or THINK that is why, come and see me. If you are still not able to get ALL of your breath during the "Catch" breath, come and see me. Most of us are holding our breath MOST of the time and think we aren't; that also reduces your range. You lose your high notes first, you know! Most of what limits us is due to what we don't know about breathing. Give me a chance to help you make improvements. Respond to this email or call me at 216-741-4762 and leave a message. Former students: try me; I no longer teach the way I once did. Add reaction ReplyForward Add reaction

Robber Bridegroom will steal your heart
by Julie Gilliland 17 Jun '25

17 Jun '25

Beck Center For The Arts Steals The Stage With The Robber Bridegroom Lakewood, OH-Beck Center for the Arts<http://www.beckcenter.org/> is pleased to announce a classic musical that will steal your heart and entertain your ears with bluegrass music, The Robber Bridegroom. The Robber Bridegroom, <https://www.beckcenter.org/shows/robber> has music by Robert Waldman<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Waldman>, book and lyrics by Alfred Uhry<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfred_Uhry>. Directed by Scott Spence, music direction Larry Goodpaster, and choreography by Lauren Marousek. Running in the Studio Theater from May 30 to June 29, 2025, with THURSDAY June 12, and June 26, 2025 performances. This musical is produced with special arrangements with MTI Musical Theatre International. Artistic Director Scott Spence, also director of The Robber Bridegroom, says, "Like A Chorus Line which closes our season this summer, The Robber Bridegroom is celebrating a 50th anniversary. The 1970s brought such a unique perspective to much of American Theater in terms of how we told our stories. Both musicals have that collective ensemble approach where company members relate their stories and come together to tell those tales. And the tales in The Robber Bridegroom are of the tallest nature! Interwoven with rousing bluegrass music the 12 members of this company weave the tale of the south centuries ago, with a man who has 'two faces'---a ne'er do well Robin Hood type....and the merry band of wild characters that accompany his journey. This lesser-known musical is not one to be missed with a cast and musician synergy that will bring the intimate Studio Theater's house down on a nightly basis." Winner of the 2016 Lucille Lortel Award for Outstanding Revival, this musical is based on the novella of the same name written in 1942 by Eudora Welty<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eudora_Welty>. A sense of justice for the average person compels us to seek out Robin Hood type heroes. This fairytale is set to bluegrass music - the perfect soundtrack setting for the intimate Studio Theater. It is a universal classic; set in the late 18th century, the musical ran on Broadway in the mid-1970s, and it is just as inspiring today. "This is designed as a good time"--Entertainment Weekly. Curtain times are 7:30 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays, and 2:30 p.m. Sundays. Preview performances are 7:30 p.m. the Thursday before opening night, with general admission seating for just $15. Smart Seats are available for each performance at just $15 per person.

IN 2 WEEKS: The World Premiere of Eric Coble's THE FIRST SNOW OF SUMMER!
by Craig Joseph 31 May '25

31 May '25

*THE FIRST SNOW OF SUMMER OPENS JUNE 13th!* Seat of the Pants' final show of the 2024-2025 season is the world premiere of a fascinating new play by Cleveland-based Tony-, Emmy-, and Pulitzer-nominated playwright, Eric Coble. We have been developing and workshopping this play since its inception two years ago, and we're thrilled finally to bring a full production into existence. In the face of an oncoming natural disaster, a family gathers at their childhood home in the mountains of Colorado. As the clock ticks, old wounds open and new opportunities for connection arise, even as mysterious omens encroach from the surrounding woods. Amidst laughter, tears, and unexpected outbursts, the clan is forced to confront who and what is worth saving when the end draws near. Co-directed by Anne McEvoy and Craig Joseph, produced by Abraham Adams, the production stars Courtney Brown*, Samantha Cocco, Jacki Dietz, Fabio Polanco*, Juliette Regnier, and Neda Spears. Charlene Hartley stage manages, with scenic design by Ron Newell, costume design by Abbie Hagen, sound design by Maggie Hamilton, lighting design by Ayron Lord, props design by Erin Ocampo, carpentry by Don Moran, and fight direction by Michael Glavan. THE FIRST SNOW OF SUMMER is made possible in part through the generous support of The George Gund Foundation. The show runs June 13-29, Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 and Sundays at 2:30, at The Darl Center for the Arts in Cleveland. Tickets range from $20-$32, and can be purchased online at thefirstsnowofsummersotp.eventbrite.com. *Advance purchase is recommended. *
