Hair Auditions
by Marc Howard 01 Feb '20

01 Feb '20

" ..... be free, no guilt, be whatever you are, do whatever you want, just as long as you don't hurt anyone". Music by Galt McDermot, Book/Lyrics by James Rado and Gerome Ragni *Synopsis* *Hair: The American Tribal Love-Rock Musical* follows a young group of hippies fighting the establishment, dodging the drafts, getting high, living and loving in New York City. It’s 1967: the Vietnam War raging, and the Age of Aquarius is dawning. Claude, his best friend Berger, their roommate Sheila, and their Tribe of friends struggle to balance the demands of the harsh and violent world with their dream for a more beautiful and peaceful world. When Claude receives his draft notice, he must decide whether to join his friends in resisting the draft or bow to the pressures of society and his conservative parents, thereby sacrificing his ideals and, possibly, his life. *Hair* was a sensation when it premiered in 1967, as it brought the counterculture movement into the theatre and the national spotlight. The issues the show brings up -- alienation, civil disobedience, youthful defiance -- continue to timelessly resonate today. *Marc C. Howard*, Director/Choreographer *D.

Final chances to see the critically-acclaimed "Alias Grace" at Weathervane Playhouse
by Fred Gloor 31 Jan '20

31 Jan '20

Kerry Clawson of the Akron Beacon Journal calls Margaret Atwood's Alias Grace, "...a dark thriller that keeps us constantly in suspense..." Full review https://bit.ly/2sTM7vL David Ritchey of the West Side Leader says "The cast helps the story's easy flow. (Olivia) King as (Grace) Marks helps the story flow like a river, sometimes smooth and sometimes in rough rapids. King's performance is worth the price of admission." Full review https://bit.ly/37k9PAl Preview article from the Akron Beacon Journal https://bit.ly/2NyvNrz A psychological thriller from the author of The Handmaid's Tale. Based upon the novel by Margaret Atwood and adapted for the stage by Jennifer Blackmer, Margaret Atwood's Alias Grace tells the true story of an Irish immigrant who worked as a household maid in the mid-1800s and was later convicted of murder. Although set in another era, it speaks specifically and almost uncannily to today's audiences. The show addresses issues such as the reception of immigrants, the predatory nature of the powerful, and how others in power conspire to keep their crimes hidden. Margaret Atwood's Alias Grace runs January 16th through February 2nd in the Founders Theater. Show times are Thursdays through Saturdays at 7:30 p.m. and Sundays at 2:30 p.m. Tickets are $11 -$23 and can be purchased by calling 330-836-2626 or by visiting www.weathervaneplayhouse.com<http://www.weathervaneplayhouse.com> Standard ticketing fees apply. Playwright Jennifer Blackmer will be joining us after the show on Saturday, January 18th for a talk-back. Director, Melanie YC Pepe, says of the show: "Margaret Atwood's Alias Grace is a true-crime story. A murder mystery. Comic. Tragic. A history play. Social commentary. Fact. Fiction. All of these statements are true... if you want them to be." AUDIENCE ADVISORY: The play is recommended for audiences ages 16 and older due to adult content and themes.

LCCC ANNOUNCES "LYSISTRATA" AUDITIONS
by Jeremy Benjamin 31 Jan '20

31 Jan '20

Lorain County Community College announces auditions for: LYSISTRATA By Aristophanes Translation by Nicholas Rudall Directed by Stephanie Wilbert “Lysistrata” is a bawdy anti-war comedy by the ancient Greek playwright Aristophanes, first staged in 411 BCE. It is the comic account of one woman’s extraordinary mission to end the Peloponnesian War, as Lysistrata convinces the women of Greece to withhold sexual privileges from their husbands as a means of forcing the men to negotiate peace. Some consider it his greatest work, and it is probably the most anthologized. Nicholas Rudall’s new translation captures the splendid variety of Aristophanes’ astute theatricality and poetic wit. WHO: Auditions are open to all LCCC students and staff, as well as actors from the community. WHAT TO PREPARE: - Auditions will be held in 5-minute time slots. - You may read from available sides OR prepare a one-minute comedic monologue. - If available, please bring one copy of your headshot and resume to the audition. - Check your calendar for any and all scheduling conflicts outside of Mon-Fri 9am-5pm from March 1-April 25, 2020. - Rehearsals: Will begin on or around March 1, 2020 - Performances: April 23-25, 2020 at 8:00 pm - Casting Note: Any race, gender, age, body type, or other identities are encouraged to audition and will be considered equally in casting. LCCC does not offer union contracts and performers are volunteers. - Copies of the playscript will be on reserve at the LCCC Bass Library until the audition dates. WHERE: Stocker Arts Center’s Cirigliano Studio Theatre 1005 N. Abbe Road, Elyria, OH 44035 WHEN: Sunday, February 16, 2020 from 3 pm – 5 pm and, Monday, February 17, 2020 from 7 pm – 9 pm To schedule an audition click on the following link to access our audition page: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/8050944A8AF28ABFB6-lysistrata Questions: email or call LCCC director of theatre Jeremy Benjamin jbenjami(a)lorainccc.edu or 440-366-7120. “Lysistrata (Rudall)” is presented by special arrangement with Samuel French, Inc., a Concord Theatricals Company.
