03 Apr '21

Eastside, jazzy pop/rock band is looking for a female singer. The setlist is mostly 80s Pop inspired original tunes, with a few covers thrown in for continuity (Men I Trust, The Marias, Bird and the Bee). Practices are Tuesday and Thursday evenings in Mentor (6 to 8), with an occasional Saturday afternoon (12 to 4). Theatrical background a plus. We're preparing to record an album later this year, plus perform live after Covid lets up. Contact Allan @ 440 444 9657.

During the first week, aspiring writers, poets, and librettists have the opportunity to craft their own opera scene. In the second and third weeks, we invite students interested in all aspects of the performing arts to join us in staging, rehearsing, and showcasing the scenes in a free performance offered at Edgewater Park where family, friends, and the local community can recognize the achievements of the young creators and performers. Staff from Cleveland Metroparks Youth Outdoors program will lead the youth through recreational activities and outdoor adventures (all equipment will be provided). Youth Outdoors strives to meet the developmental needs of youth living in or near the City of Cleveland through involvement in outdoor adventure and nature exploration activities.By experiencing the wonder of nature and developing skills in outdoor recreation, young people gain a life-long appreciation and understanding of the importance of parks and nature. They also learn valuable life skills in making decisions, developing interests, communicating thoughts and feelings, making healthy lifestyle choices, and fulfilling responsibilities to others in their group and community.

Review of "Whistle"
by Bob Abelman 02 Apr '21

02 Apr '21

‘Whistle’ a dramatic, engaging exposé of second generation destruction Bob Abelman On April 6, the Jewish Federation of Cleveland will be hosting a panel discussion about a semi-autobiographical play by Ya’acov Buchan called “Whistle: My Mother Was Mengele's Secretary.” The one-woman, one-act, one-hour play takes place during contemporary times, but the central character is defined by events that took place between 1939 and 1945, before she was born. Tammy, the unwanted child of two Auschwitz survivors, has spent her life in the shadow of their traumatic past and is a victim of the deep psychological wounds they suffered during the Holocaust. As a child, she wasn’t allowed to cry, complain or have companionship, and so she whistled to fill the silence in her life. She is now a troubled, tormented 45 year old who hasn’t been able to find love, peace or self-esteem. And so the play opens with Tammy relinquishing a resigned, exhausted, barely audible sigh. A story so profoundly grounded in unbearable personal pain is certainly permitted to display the theatrical equivalent of confessional chest beating and prostrate paroxysm. But the sigh sets the hushed tone for this exquisitely understated, modestly presented, and quietly unfolding piece of storytelling. “Whistle” is a direct-address monologue delivered to all the ghosts in the room – the people in Tammy’s life who are alive no more but still haunt her thoughts. The always interesting and engaging narrative is seasoned with recalled conversations, touches of dark humor, and simple stagecraft. The play takes place on a black box stage surrounded by darkness, on which a small rectangle of space has been carved out to serve as Tammy’s painting studio void of paintings. Only an ironing board, two chairs, a hot water kettle and a painter’s palette with just two colors of acrylics share the stage with the actor. Even the lighting shifts and brief moments of musical underscoring, courtesy of Noa Ben-Dahan and Gal Chapsky, respectively, are inconspicuous. The play was adapted and is performed by England-born and Israel-raised Hadar Galron, whose performance is masterful. There’s a mesmerizing musicality to her presentation, as she smoothly navigates through the script with all the right rhythms at just the right emotional pitch. And her comic timing, when called upon, is spot on. The production was recorded live during a September 2019 staging at the Municipal Theatre in Prague, Czechia. Directed with a velvet glove by Hana Vazana-Grunwald, the work is captured by two stationary cameras that are largely unobtrusive save for when they occasionally attempt to zoom in closer and momentarily lose focus. There is plenty to think about in “Whistle” and there will be no shortage of things to talk about during the panel discussion hosted by the Jewish Federation of Cleveland. Panelists include “Whistle” actor Hadar Galron, the Federation’s Hedy Milgrom, Cleveland playwright Faye Sholiton, and Anne Lukas, board chair of the Kol Israel Foundation.
