Embrace the spirit of community and join us for this intimate storytelling event. Full Circle Storytelling revolves around the belief that everyone has a story, and those stories are worth telling. Attendees can sign up to tell a true story inspired (or not!) by the evening’s prompt or participate by simply listening. All are welcome, no experience necessary. Since this FREE event takes place at a library and is open to people of all ages, language and content of stories should be no stronger than PG-13. (Basically: nothing your mama wouldn’t want to hear.) There’s no minimum length for stories (but should be no longer than 5 - 7 minutes) and they can range from heart wrenching to hysterical – and anything in-between! THE EVENING’S PROMPT: Family Folklore FEATURED STORYTELLER: Katie Beck DATE & TIME: November 20, 2025 at 6:30 PM LOCATION: Goodyear Branch Library (60 Goodyear Blvd in Akron, OH) MISSION: Storytelling is more than just entertainment—it’s a powerful tool for healing and self-discovery.

The Tri-C School of Creative Arts is committed to promoting diversity in the casting of roles where race, ethnicity, gender, age and the presence or absence of a disability is not absolutely essential to the development of the play or character.

No, he’s going to tell you the story about a Little Rain Cloud who falls in love with a human. They are not the same story at all, he swears. This playful, quirky, loose adaptation of The Little Mermaid, about a Little Rain Cloud who falls in love with a human, unpacks some personal history about Hans Christian Andersen.

RALMOND (pronounced like “almond” with an R in front) 28, then no age/ A male human, then a rain cloud MIDI (pronounced like “mini” but with a D in the middle) 29 / A female human EDVARD (pronounced like “Edward” with a V in the middle) Just Old Enough to Marry / A royal male human INA (pronounced like “I? Nah.”) Old Enough to Marry / A secretly royal female human DOLAN (pronounced like “Dole Whip” except instead of “whip” you say “an”) Timeless / Hans Christian Andersen LITTLE ONE (NOT pronounced like “mermaid”) Little / A female hero and storyteller QUESTIONS?

NPR kids' podcast seeks Cleveland actors to audition for live recording
by rebecca sheirandshim.com 17 Nov '25

17 Nov '25

Greetings! I'm the host of Circle Round<https://www.wbur.org/podcasts/circleround>: the kids and family folktales podcast from WBUR, Boston's NPR station! I'm also a Cleveland native who grew up enjoying theater in wonderful Northeast Ohio. On Mar. 14, 2026, our NPR podcast is recording two live episodes at the Cleveland Museum of Art<https://www.eventbrite.com/e/circle-round-in-cleveland-oh-tickets-196560458…>. We're seeking dynamic, diverse Cleveland-area performers to submit remote auditions and I'd love to spread the word to subscribers of NEohioPAL! With 1.5M monthly downloads in all 50 states and 150+ countries, Circle Round adapts age-old folktales as audio plays for modern audiences. Over the past few years, we've criss-crossed the US, recording live episodes in California, Washington state, Oregon, Minnesota, Illinois, Colorado, North Carolina, Massachusetts, Maryland and New York. Our Mar. 14 show marks our Ohio debut! Our folktales feature all sorts of characters, so we're seeking performers ages 25 and up who (a) have a wide range, and (b) aren't shy about letting loose and being bold and playful on stage. Since the origins of our folktales are so diverse, we're seeking actors with wide-ranging diversity as well. The time commitment on Mar. 14 would be roughly 11am-2pm: we'll rehearse around 11am and perform/record at 1pm. We're able to provide each performer with a stipend of $250, along with meals and a set of comps. As with a staged reading, actors will be reading from scripts on stage: no blocking, no choreography, no frills! For the audition, we would provide interested performers with a set of sides, and ask them to record a handful of lines using whatever recording device they have on hand. They would send the audio using whatever method they prefer: email, Google Drive, Dropbox, WeTransfer, etc. We're excited to make our Ohio debut, and I look forward to hearing from you: rebecca(a)sheirandshim.com<mailto:rebecca@sheirandshim.com>. Thank you!

17 Nov '25

-- Tickets Are Now on Sale for Our Newest Audio Gallery Plays at Negative Space Radio on the Lake Theatre is excited to announced two new plays in its Audio Gallery Series at Negative Space for 2026: January 22 - 1984 Since George Orwell published his landmark political fable, each generation has found ample reason to make reference to the grim near-future envisioned by the novel.

Discontent with the regime, Winston begins a forbidden relationship with Julia – with terrifying consequences. March 26 - Casablanca Adapted from one of the most beloved and iconic films of all time. The world is at war, but a self-made man shields himself and others from its ravages in a bar in Morocco where the Vichy French government holds sway. Refugees from all over Europe come to Africa for passage and salvation. When one of them walks into his bar, his whole world is turned upside down. For what (or whom) would you sacrifice everything? All performances start at 7:30 pm and are followed by a discussion with the cast and crew. The Negative Space Gallery is located at 1541 E. 38th St., 2nd Floor in Cleveland's AsiaTown district. Tickets are $15 and available now at Eventbrite <https://sjuvgy5ab.cc.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001aaVMJBGw2r8KkjMHdHJjlSkejlxOca_jhT…> .
