by Fred Sternfeld 09 Jul '26

09 Jul '26

Dear Subscribers, We've had some bumps since the cutover to our new host of the Neohiopal Mailman software. Subscribers who use email services that are under the Microsoft Servers were on a blacklist from them: HOTMAIL.COM, OUTLOOK.COM, MSN.COM and LIVE.COM were not receiving the postings for at least most of the last week - maybe more. Our webmaster Brie Yoder worked diligently with Microsoft to solve the problem and now it appears Neohiopal / Mailman has been removed from the blacklist and all is up and running again. You should now be receiving all messages.

Casting Chinese-American Actress
by Krsnaa Fitch 09 Jul '26

09 Jul '26

*Looking for a Chinese-American Actress (roughly 55y/o) for a New Play Reading, performed at Makeshift Theater in Akron July 24th. DETAILS:I’m looking for an actress to play “Connie” in a reading of my new play, “The Order of Fifinella.” If you are interested, or know someone who might be, please email alainatennant(a)gmail.com <alainatennant(a)gmail.com>WHAT IT IS:A staged reading of Alaina Tennant’s script, The Order of Fifinella. This is a full-length play that follows five members of the Women Airforce Service Pilots or WASP. The performance will be on July 24th at 7pm with a rehearsal for the Act 2 cast the evening of July 23rd. Because it is a stage reading, memorization is not required - the script will be in front of you. Rehearsals and performances will be with Makeshift Theatre in Akron. Synopsis: During World War Two, a group of young women risked their lives as flying aircraft for the United States Military. Thirty years later, the same women -- now in their 50s and 60s -- found that their service had been entirely overlooked, beginning a long debate about what it means to be officially recognized as US Veterans.The Order of Fifinella follows a small group of headstrong and ambitious women, first during the war when they served as pilots, and then in the 1970s after decades of change and disillusionment. THE CHARACTER: CONNIE - 53, Chinese-American, FemaleConnie is classy, stylish, and very sure of herself. Happily unmarried and living in San Francisco. She represents the two Chinese women enlisted in the WASP. Connie maintains a close friendship with Sandy, and the two travel together to Ohio. Connie fights housing discrimination in Cali, and while she’s prepared to fight to secure veteran status for her friends, she also recognizes military and government shortcomings.LOOKING FOR: An actress to play a supportive and confident woman. Connie doesn’t have any long monologues, but some larger chunks of dialogue.*
