by Cindi 05 Oct '20

05 Oct '20

ACTING BY MISTAKE A class taught by: William Roudebush SPECIAL NOTE ABOUT ZOOM: Every actor should take a moment and look at their process via Zoom for two reasons: 1. It’s all a close-up. Tricks are clearly revealed. 2. You get a full playback of everything you did in every class. You can follow your own progress. Below are the dates for my NEWLY ADDED session of ACTING BY MISTAKE on ZOOM (The Sunday night session is full.) If you wish to enroll please do so as soon as possible to reserve your slot. (five slots currently available). CLASS BEGINS: Wednesday: October 14th from 6:30pm to 9:30pm LOCATION: On your computer or I-Phone Cost: $325 for 6 consecutive 3 hour sessions each Wednesday through November 24th. Class Size Limit: 6 (You will work every session) ACTING BY MISTAKE is a practical guide to auditioning, rehearsing and performance that leads actors to trust themselves, utilize their fears, create from their mistakes and head toward a more positive process. To enroll: Contact William Roudebush by email at dentay1(a)juno.com “His uncanny genius is knowing how the actor and the play can work together like a Swiss watch.” William Mastrosimone, playwright. “For several years, I’ve only been partially able to articulate, or utilize, what Bill’s book, and his teachings have brought right out into the middle of things, where I have begun to believe they belong, and with blazing clarity. Austin Pendleton, actor, director, playwright & master teacher. “I love working with Bill in his ACTING BY MISTAKE workshops. I’ve been taking his workshops for over two years now. He gets us to ‘connect’ with the character in an organic way. He helps us allay the normal fears we have as actors and our need to get it ‘right’ by creating a playful process in which we focus more on the character’s experience than getting the exact words of the text correct in the rehearsal process. That is so freeing. I’m feeling much more confident now in how I approach a character and trust that organic process of developing a character.” John Sannuto, Chair, Theatre Department, Long Island university.

by Shadow of the Run 05 Oct '20

05 Oct '20

*ZOOM, Ohio – October 2020* – After selling out the entire run and two extensions, *THE TORSO BOOK CLUB* will be remounted for eleven performances from October 16th-18th. *THE TORSO BOOK CLUB – A SHADOW OF THER RUN VIRTUAL STORY *will play in repertory with several other online immersive theatre works in a new festival shepherded by Dobama Theatre. http://www.dobama.org/immersive-theatre-festival *THE TORSO BOOK CLUB* is a short-term installation, or “pop up” theater production with limited tickets, will be held online via ZOOM. All proceeds of the original production were donated to Cleveland local artists that had been affected by the economic devastation that Covid-19 has had on the Arts Community and raised over $5,000 for Cleveland Local artists. Tickets for the upcoming remount are $15 – each ticket accommodates one screen or device and allowing for up to two people per Screen. Performances will happen over Zoom. *Tickets can be purchased at **www.shadowoftherun.com* <http://www.shadowoftherun.com>. *THE TORSO BOOK CLUB*: YOU are cordially invited to a meeting of *The **TORSO** Book Club*. Your host is Carter Grant. Carter chose the graphic novel Torso: A True Crime Graphic Novel by Brian Michael Bendis. This true crime story is set in Elliot Ness era Cleveland, Ohio and is based on one of the country’s most notorious serial killings. The discussion should be robust. It should be noted: *the best laid plan for any book club is usually upended by its own members *AND, as is the case with most book clubs, actually reading the book is *NOT *as important as bringing a favorite beverage and a little gossip. *The **TORSO** Book Club *is an immersive theatrical performance. Your participation is encouraged at any level you feel comfortable.

by Ensemble Theatre 04 Oct '20

04 Oct '20

*Ensemble Theatre’s Stagewright’s Unit *is thrilled to continue with our second Monday night, of we hope many, as part of our *10 minute Play Reading Series via Zoom*, streamed LIVE on Ensemble Theatre’s Facebook page! During these uncertain times, practicing social distancing and mitigating the spread of Covid-19, we are finding creative ways to stay connected! Join us EVERY OTHER MONDAY @7PM and enjoy original works of local playwrights sharing their voices with our community and the world around us! Join us for a Q&A afterward. You can submit questions via the ZOOM chat function or via the comments on our Facebook Livestream! *HERE IS THE LINE UP FOR OUR FIRST ZOOM OF OUR SERIES :: MONDAY OCTOBER 5, 2020 @7pm :: * *NO GOOD DEED* :: By *Cynthia Dettelbach* :: An attorney harvests lessons in loyalty after his young female partner absconds with his clients and his sense of self-worth.. Starring :: *Paul Slimak** *as Tom Brownlee* :: *Agnes Herrmann** *as Phyllis Brownlee * :: *Cindy Dettelbach* has been a member of Stagewrights since its inception some ten years ago. Several of her plays, including *“For the Love of a Leica”* and *“Choices"* were produced as part of the Colombi New Plays Festival held at Ensemble each March. Her play, *“Invisible,”* slated for opening in late March 2020, was sidelined by Covid19. *GOODNUFF* :: By *Edward J. Walsh* :: Soured on people and life, the disabled Black owner of a pawnshop confronts a young man who may be a threat or a godsend. Starring :: *Peter Lawson Jones* **as Mr Goodnuff* :: *Kyle Carthens* *as Cornelius Carter* :: *Ed Walsh *has worn a lot of hats during his writing career in Northeast Ohio, but his favorite one is that of the playwright. Laboring as a lone wolf or sometimes as a collaborator, he has seen a number of his efforts make it to the stage. In Northeast Ohio, his work has been produced at Dobama Theatre, Cuyahoga Community College-Western CampusTheatre, Berea Summer Theatre, Kent State University, John Carroll University, and Chagrin Valley Little Theatre-River Street Playhouse. Two of Walsh’s plays were performed as part of The Colombi New Plays Festival at Ensemble Theatre in recent years. One of these, “One-on-One," deals with the confrontation between two white kids and a lone African-American kid on a neighborhood basketball court. The play was later published, as was Walsh’s adaptation of “Frankenstein.” The only question is, "What will come out from under that hat next?":: *ZOOM WENT THE STRINGS OF MY HEART* :: By *Molly McFadden* :: "Zoom Went the Strings of My Heart" is about seeking company, companionship, and comfort during these days of isolation and loneliness. Dealing with the pandemic as they are trying to survive and illustrating their need for companionship, dialogue and community. Ends with hope. Starring :: *Molly McFadden* *as Maureen* :: *Peter Lawson Jones** * as Eugene* :: *Cat R. Kenney* * as Various Roles ::* *Molly McFadden*, what do you wish to know? I bring before you my passion. I live to create -meaning to write and perform. Well guess what, Ensemble and CPT have afforded me that opportunity...how lucky can a girl be. I now reside in Cleveland, OH and work alongside my husband to pursue these passions. We have lived here for 5 years and accomplished so much. Before that, while living in New York I had the opportunity of performing and singing at a variety of theatres, clubs and concerts in Manhattan. I also studied with the famed teacher, Allen Savage for acting in Manhattan after I received my MFA in Theater. I performed in regional theatres across the country, as well as a variety of wonderful artistic groups like the York Theater and Theater in the Square and Manhattan Theatre Club. So now the Manhattan skyline is behind me and I pursue my writing. I have had the opportunity to complete and perform works I have created here such as, *"Living on the Moon"*, *"Fish Feel Pain"* and now tonight, *"Zoom Went the Strings of my Heart".* Actually this piece reminds me of the work of Mike Nichols and Elaine May taking a snapshot of the American scene and performing it for the Manhattan audience who would reflect and enjoy the crossroads of their lives. Hope you enjoy it.
