11 Jan '21

THE WESTERN RESERVE PLAYHOUSE IS PLEASED TO ANNOUNCE: AUDITIONS FOR *FRAGMENTS OF FARCE:* *A Night of Comedic Sketches by Anton Chekhov* A virtual production with WRP Connect By Anton Chekhov Directed by August Scarpelli *From a man whose speech about the evils of tobacco turns into a complaint about his overbearing wife; to a man and a widow whose argument over money turns into a duel to the death, and also falling in love; and with a finale of an aged stage actor and a servant discussing the life of theatre, these comedies about the errors of being human are sure to brighten up this dreary winter. All performed in one night, “On the Harmful Effects of Tobacco,” “The Bear,” and “The Swan Song” by Anton Chekhov will run about an hour.* We are looking for a diverse group of actors to portray these characters and bring these stories to life virtually. This show will encourage fluidity in gender, race, and age. *Virtual auditions* will be held via Zoom on *Thursday, 1/14/2021 *from 7pm-10pm and *Saturday, 1/16/2021 *from 1pm-4pm.

Each night of shows will be live-streamed through Zoom. *Production Schedule:* We will be rehearsing weekdays (typically 7pm-10pm) and potentially weekend afternoons, depending on the actor's availability.

Re: [NEohioPAL] Peter Lawson Jones & "Chicago Fire" Schedule Change
by sue johnson 09 Jan '21

09 Jan '21

Hello, Family, Friends and Colleagues . . . We probably learned a great deal about *patience *(or, maybe we didn't) throughout 2020. Well. it looks like we're still dealing with *patience* as we start 2021. NBC has now rescheduled the episode of "Chicago Fire," featuring Peter Lawson Jones, a third time. *So, let's plan to tune in, Wed. 1/27/21, 9:00 P*. NOT Wed. 1/13, NOT Wed. 1/20. Please contact all your social media contacts to let them know about the schedule change. For those who believe in the power of prayer, please pray that NBC doesn't change the show,* again*. Looking forward to "One of Our Own" being showcased on national TV. (And, don't forget to check out the Marathon Oil commercial with Peter and his wife, Lisa, at the gas station and in the cool red convertible.)
