Berko review: ...DOES IT EXPLODE? @ Cleveland Public Theatre (on-line)
by Roy Berko 10 Nov '20

10 Nov '20

*•••••••••••••••••••••••••••* *Capsule judgment: The script and the performances were often compelling, sometimes off-putting, and will offend some and empower others. Both the script and the performances are uneven in their clarity and professionalism. With that said, ...Or Does it Explode? <https://www.cptonline.org/performances/seasons/2020-2021/or-does-it-explode/> Is well worth the time watching…it is an eye opening experience, especially for those who are not part of the community who are unaware of the motivations behind Black Lives Matter.* *To read the entire review go to: **www.royberko.info* <http://www.royberko.info/>*. * *••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••*

CONTACT: Julie Gilliland jgilliland(a)beckcenter.org<mailto:jgilliland@beckcenter.org> FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Nov 10, 2020 A Christmas Peril Beck Center for the Arts' Virtual Youth Theater Production Lakewood, OH-Beck Center for the Arts<https://www.beckcenter.org/youth-theater> announces virtual Youth Theater production, A Christmas Peril. Opening December 10 and running through December 13, 2020 this live production is perfect for all ages. A Christmas Peril is a refreshing theatrical offering when we could all use a little something to chuckle about this season. Everyone knows the story of A Christmas Carol, the Charles Dickens' chestnut. A Christmas Peril takes an exuberant cast of twenty-five Beck Center Youth Theater student performers and drops them into a whirlwind plot of a play within a play. Everything that could go wrong does. This production begins December 10 and runs through December 13, 2020, with a student matinee on December 10 at 10:00 a.m. Curtain times are 7:30 p.m. on Friday, December 11 and Saturday, December 12, with a 3:00 p.m. matinee on Sunday, December 13, 2020. All curtain times are EST. This live production is perfect for all ages. Patrons can enjoy this production, on their device, in the comfort of their home. The show's playwright, director, and long-time Beck Center theater educator Rachel Spence says that, "laughing at yourself, and a positive attitude go a long way" with online rehearsals, and that the young actors in the show are "having a blast with the comedy." Ideally suited for a virtual production, this theater piece solves the issue of how to keep a cast of young performers, director, crew, and the audience safe during a pandemic, while delivering a fun comedy for the entire family. This limited engagement of A Christmas Peril runs December 10 to December 13, 2020 on any device in the comfort of a patron's home, as part of Beck Center's 2020-2021 Youth Theater Season. A Christmas Peril tickets are available NOW at beckcenter.org.<https://www.showtix4u.com/event-details/42631> Tickets are $12 for one viewer, $22 for two or more viewers, or $35 for those who love the arts and want to support Youth Theater at Beck Center (as well cover ticketing system fees, and credit card fees).

UA Presents Virtual Fall Dance Concert “We Dance On: A Movement Collaboration”
by UAkron Arts Administration 09 Nov '20

09 Nov '20

The University of Akron (UA) School of Dance, Theatre, and Arts Administration presents “We Dance On: A Movement Collaboration.” The fully-virtual concert will include pre-recorded works and behind-the-scenes footage and will be available to stream via YouTube on Saturday, November 21 at 2:00 P.M. and 7:00 P.M. Reservations can be made at wedanceonUA.eventbrite.com. “We Dance On” will feature works by Dance Program faculty member and UADC Director Rachael K. Palermo, as well as Choreographers’ Workshop student choreographers Lauren Ferster, Lexi Hartung, Hailey Lewis, Lydia Marshall and Chloe Redman. Work by guest choreographer Tyler Ring, from UA’s Dance Institute, will also be presented. Student choreographer Lexi Hartung’s piece “Who am I(dentity)?” explores themes of self-discovery, identity and values. She reflects that “we as human beings have been able to take a moment to look into our own uniqueness during this pandemic.” Some of the other student choreographers, including Hailey Lewis and Lydia Marshall, look to the people around them for inspiration and offer their works as dedications to others. Marshall, in her dance film “No Favors,” celebrates empowered women and says that the work is “a dedication to all of the women who have empowered me.” Lewis dedicates her dance “For Devon” to her aunt, who passed away earlier this year. She hopes to illuminate the effects of alcoholism and remind those struggling that “addiction is a hard battle to fight, but you are not fighting it alone.” The University of Akron Dance Program offers both a Bachelor of Fine Arts (B.F.A.) in Dance and a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) in Dance. Students receive extensive training in technique, performance and choreography, which is supported by academic coursework in dance history, pedagogy and physical analysis. Reservations to stream “We Dance On” are free and can be made at wedanceonUA.eventbrite.com <https://wedanceonua.eventbrite.com/> or by contacting the ticket office at administration.arts(a)gmail.com or 330-972-7895.
