New Classes Added For June!! We Now Have Online and Physical Options!
by Jessica Houde 19 May '20

19 May '20

Hi All, It’s been a long couple of months and although we are not out of the woods yet, it sure feels good to be taking small steps towards normalcy, or at least, whatever the new normalcy is shaping up to be. We would like to thank you all for your patience, and we look forward to taking these next steps with you. During this time we have done our very best to continue to offer high quality training by taking advantage of modern technology, while still remaining safely quarantined at home. We reached out to industry professionals and linked up with some very well-known and respectable folks. We are thankful for the opportunity to have worked with them and grateful we were able to share their knowledge with you. As more and more places are slowly reopening we understand there is still some apprehension, so we are carefully planning our reopen in an attempt to address the needs of everyone. With that said, starting on the 1st of June we will be offering both physical and online classes with the hope of accommodating as many as possible. Our physical classes will be limited and will follow all safety protocols recommended by The State Of Ohio. We are not positive how we will proceed beyond June, but we do look forward to bringing our physical classes back up to full capacity at some point, as well as continuing our online programs indefinitely into the future. While a sense of urgency, and even necessity had opened our eyes to these online opportunities, some of what we have learned and created over this time will most likely continue to add value to our programs as things settle back down, and we are very excited about that. We have created an all new schedule for June which includes a hybrid, physical and online class package, a strictly online class package and a strictly physical class package. Please click the link below to see all of the programs we are offering and feel free to message us with any questions you may have! Sincerely, Jessica Houde-Morris Houde School Of Acting https://www.houdeschoolofacting.com/online-registration

Call For Self-Tape Singer Auditions
by Joanna May Cullinan 18 May '20

18 May '20

*THE MUSICAL THEATER PROJECT IS NOW SEEKING SINGERS FOR TMTP'S 2020-21 CONCERT SEASON* Both Equity and non-Equity actor/singers are welcome. Since this is a concert series, no Equity contracts are issued, but all singers are paid a stipend. Singers must be 18 years or older. The mission of THE MUSICAL THEATER PROJECT, founded in 2000, is to foster a deep appreciation of the classic American musical—and the social and cultural history surrounding it—by creating programs that educate as well as entertain people of all ages. The organization offers many programs, including a nationally syndicated radio show on SiriusXM and public stations, and an acclaimed school program. As the mission statement suggests, the narrated concert series celebrates classic musical theater: Past productions have included “docu-concerts” on *The Fantasticks, Carousel, Shuffle Along*, *Fiddler on the Roof* and *Oklahoma!* TMTP also produces tributes to songwriters including Cy Coleman, Cole Porter, and next season, in partnership with Cleveland Jazz Orchestra, George and Ira Gershwin. “Thematic” concerts have included “Vocal Minority: Female Songwriters” and "I Am What I Am: Gays, Lesbians and The American Musical." By honoring *classic*—not for the most part contemporary—musical theater, we are also preserving* two vocal traditions*: One is singing the classic musical theater repertoire, embodied by artists such as Barbara Cook, Mary Martin and John Raitt, or more recently, Audra McDonald, Kelli O'Hara and Brian Stokes Mitchell. The other—in our annual partnership with CJO—is singing classic jazz and its relationship to the Great American Songbook, embodied by artists such as Peggy Lee, Teddi King, Tony Bennett and Johnny Hartman, or more recently, Diana Krall, Stacey Kent and Harry Connick Jr. *To be considered*, please submit a HEADSHOT and RESUME along with a VIDEO AUDITION including two contrasting songs you love that show your understanding of one or both of these vocal traditions. Songs should include live or tracked accompaniment. No a cappella singing, please. *Submissions should be sent to auditions(a)musicaltheaterproject.org <auditions(a)musicaltheaterproject.org> no later than Monday, May 25, 2020 with the subject line "SIY Audition Submission."* Thank you, Joanna [image: photo] *Joanna May Cullinan - Director of Marketing* The Musical Theater Project Ph: 216.860.1518 <W:%20216.860.1518> | joanna(a)musicaltheaterproject.org <heather(a)musicaltheaterproject.org> MusicalTheaterProject.org <http://musicaltheaterproject.org/> 5755 Granger Road Suite 830 Independence OH 44131 <https://maps.google.com/?q=5755+Granger+Road+Suite+830+Independence+OH+4413…> <http://www.facebook.com/TheMusicalTheaterProject/> <http://www.youtube.com/TheMusicalTheaProj> <http://www.linkedin.com/in/heather-meeker-0727689> Stay in touch!
