Equality Productions' next BLM monologue
by Richard Zenk 06 Aug '20

06 Aug '20

The second BLM monologue, "African People Are Not Alone", is wonderfully and performed written by Adetokunbo Borishade. For this monologue, the donations will be given to the African American Museum of Cleveland, Ohio. To receive the YouTube link, send a donation to equalityproductionscincy(a)gmail.com using either Paypal or Venmo. The recommended donation is $10, but donate what you can. The African American Museum, formerly the Afro-American Cultural & Historical Society Museum which was established in April 1953 is a nonprofit cultural and educational museum that aims to share the achievements of African Americans. Flewellen believed that everyone should have the opportunity to see the accomplishments of Africans and those of African descent. "African People Are Not Alone" was written and performed by Adetokunbo Borishade. This monologue is the result of a powerful vision that appeared to the playwright showing millions of God’s warrior angels standing at attention beside African people worldwide waiting for God’s signal to enact change, along with the message “YOU ARE NOT ALONE”. Adetokunbo Knowles Borishade, Ph.D. is a first-time novice in the acting field. However, she does have strong academic preparation for performing arts with a B.A. and an M.A. in communications. She also holds a Ph.D. in Africology, with which she concentrates on the traditional, pre-slavery portion of African cultural history with a timeline that starts around 200,000 BCE. Her academic research background and her field research in traditional African culture have developed a rich fountain of African cultural and historical knowledge from which Dr. Borishade presently draws and pours into her performing arts creations. By profession Adetokunbo Knowles Borishade is currently a semi-retired professor with 35 years of university teaching experience in the U.S.A. and West Africa. She became a professional playwright, storyteller, and stage play producer in 2016 after returning home to Cleveland, Ohio from Liberia, West Africa in 2013. Her new mission at that time was to use the performing arts as a tool to teach traditional African culture, history, and civilization. She uses the artistic platform to present the documented contributions African women and men have made to humanity and to world civilization. Prior to this performance “African People Are Not Alone”, Dr. Borishade has written five stage plays, four of which have been produced: “Created in God’s Image”, “Ancient African Prophecy of Imhotep”, “Prophecy of Imhotep” (The Skit), “The Ancient Prophecy and the Maafa”, and “To Be or Not to Be African”. Dr. Borishade belongs to several performing arts and playwright specific organizations: NEohioPAL; The Dramatist Guild; and Playwrights Local.

Audition: OTHER DESERT CITIES (Virtual Production)
by Richard Zenk 05 Aug '20

05 Aug '20

Equality Productions' virtual production of OTHER DESERT CITIES by Jon Robin Baitz Directed by: Brian Westerley It’s December 2004 and Brooke Wyeth returns home to Palm Springs after a six-year absence to celebrate Christmas with her parents, her brother and her aunt. Brooke announces that she is about to publish a memoir dredging up a pivotal and tragic event in the family's history – a wound they don't want to be reopened. In effect, she draws a line in the sand and dares them all to cross it. Auditions for this show will be Wednesday, August 26th & Thursday, August 27th beginning at 7P. Auditions will consist of readings from the script, which will be emailed to you prior to your audition. Please sign up for your time slot & identify the character for your audition: https://tinyurl.com/yyayh595 If you need a timeslot other than what is showing as available, email the producer, Richard Zenk, at equalityproductionscincy(a)gmail.com. Characters: Lyman Wyeth: (Late 50’s to late 60’s): Kind and gentle patriarch. A Hollywood B actor with some celebrity and charm who turned that into political influence. He is conservative but with a sense of humor about himself and a deep love for his family. Polly Wyeth: (Late 50’s to late 60’s): Lyman’s wife. Graceful and acerbic matriarch. She has been active for decades in the Republican Party. She is deeply devoted to the preservation of her social standing, her family, and the health of her husband. Brooke Wyeth: (Mid 30’s to 40’s): Lyman and Polly’s daughter. She is a professional writer who has been living in New York after a mental breakdown. Trip Wyeth: (Late 20’s to mid 30’s): Brooke’s brother. Witty and self-effacing. He is a TV producer for reality TV – in a family obsessed with his intellectual, older sister’s mental health. Silda Grauman: (late 50’s to early 70’s): Polly’s sister. Creative, fragile, and funny. A former B movie writer, and the Bohemian, polar opposite of her sister. She is fresh out of rehab and repays the support of the conservative Wyeths by joining Brooke in some liberal needling of her parents. Zoom rehearsals will be TBD based on actor availability. This show is a benefit & all roles are unpaid. The show will be recorded via Zoom & uploaded to YouTube. Please email your headshot & resume by August 23rd to Brian Westerley at westerleybrian(a)gmail.com

Sheet Music Giveaway (Just 1 song)
by MSRG Publications 05 Aug '20

05 Aug '20

I had bought sheet music for "Moon Over Parma" to use at auditions. I never did, and I'm certain beyond reasonable doubt that my days of performing have been reduced to a memory. It's too cute to just lob into the recycling, and no one on Freecycle seems interested. The front page has a tear, but taping it won't interfere with the ability to read the notes. I sanitized it and placed it in plastic some weeks ago for pickup. If you want it but Lakewood is out of the way for you, I'll mail it to you. Michael

The tools we use to bring characters to life on stage are similar but not exactly the same ones we use for the camera. Students will prepare the same scene (or monologue) for both stage and screen auditions, learning to calibrate their performance for each medium while deepening their work by finding their character’s actions, objectives, and relationship to the arc of the scene. https://angelaboehmcasting.com/events/stage-screen-adults-april-2020/ Questions? Email us at 1stTeam(a)AngelaBoehmCasting.com About Sara Sevigny!
