Western Reserve Playhouse presents the fourth installment in this years mainstage season: ANTON IN SHOW BUISNESS by Jane Martin. Directed by Lisa Ortenzi Performances 09/05/2025-09/20/2025 (Fridays and Saturdays @ 8pm, Sunday 09/14/2025 @ 2pm) Auditions: Wednesday 06/25/2025 from 7pm-10pm & Saturday 06/28/2025 from 2pm-5pm Audition requirements: Please prepare a single 1 minute monologue of your choosing and come prepared to read selections from the script. Callbacks will be scheduled as necessary. Rehearsals will tentatively begin near the last weeks of July About the play: This madcap comedy follows three actresses across the footlights, down the rabbit hole, and into a strangely familiar Wonderland that looks a lot like American theatre – the resemblance is uncanny! As these women pursue their dream of performing Chekhov in Texas, they’re whisked through a maelstrom of “good ideas” that offer unique solutions to the Three Sisters’ need to have life’s deeper purpose revealed. In the tradition of great backstage comedies, Anton in Show Business conveys the joys, pains, and absurdities of “putting on a play” at the turn of the century. This play will be cast to be performed by 7 female, female-presenting actors As an organization we are deeply committed to inclusive casting and are seeking a diverse cast of artists of any skill level and experience. Performers of all races, ethnicities, gender identities and abilities are encouraged to audition.

by Craig Joseph 07 Jun '25

07 Jun '25

*THE FIRST SNOW OF SUMMER OPENS THIS COMING FRIDAY* 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. *Purchase your tickets for any performance online by Saturday, June 14th at noon and use the discount code INDUSTRY to take $3 off each ticket!* *Advance purchase is highly recommended; opening night is already sold out.* Talkback with the cast following the matinee on Sunday, June 15th; tour of the Darl Center for the Arts following the matinee on Sunday, June 22nd; talkback with playwright Eric Coble following the performance on Saturday, June 28th.
