Seeking Musicians and Vocalists
by Meredith King 02 Aug '19

02 Aug '19

*Looking for Musicians and Vocalist Collaborators!* Looking for instrumentalists and vocalists to experiment with some music performance during a two-week artist residency at Maelstrom Collaborative Arts from August 26th-September 8th. *PROJECT INFO* Collaborators will work with words and sounds artist, Meredith L. King, who will be in residence at Maelstrom Collaborative Arts (formerly Theatre Ninjas) for two weeks to explore musical improvisation and theatricality with instrumentalists and vocalists. The residency will explore the question: How can theatricality enhance and expand a music-making practice? (Or how can you integrate theatre skills into music making in such a way that both art-forms are forced to stretch and grow?) Collaborators will bring ideas to life using jamming and improvisation as well as pre-planned music arrangement. The styles of music we’ll be (loosely) playing with could be described as a) cheeky funk and its coded language, b) 90s-style r&b (with an eye to honoring its humor and extraness) c) and outsider/alt hip- hop Think Parliament Funkadelic meets Scott Bradlee’s Saturday Morning Slow Jams (Duck Tales Theme Song Edition) meets Peaches. *WHEN & WHERE...* Rehearsals will take place largely on weekday evenings and weekend afternoons from August 26th-September 8th. Participants do not have to be available for all days, but a fair amount of availability would be awesome. All rehearsals will take place at Maelstrom Collaborative Arts (5403 Detroit Ave, Cleveland OH.) *SEEKING MUSICIANS & VOCALISTS* · Instrumentalists of any sort will be considered (non- traditional and electronic instruments welcome! Drummer/percussionists appreciated especially.) · Vocalists of any/all ranges considered · Must be able to learn music by ear · Able to or excited to try musical improvisation Though this project might very well expand, it is currently in experiment-phase and welcomes people who are excited to embrace the experimental magic! *If interested, email mlaurenking(a)gmail.com <mlaurenking(a)gmail.com>* *Meredith L. King* makes words and sounds collide on the stage, including work as a playwright, performer, lyricist, and composer. Meredith is currently a cadre member with Maelstrom Collaborative Arts in Cleveland, Ohio where her artistic work includes creating original work for *Short Form 2018*, *Bricolage 2018, Bricolage 2019* and *Saturnalia* 2018. This summer Meredith produced Maelstrom’s newest mixed media show *Rising Tide*. Other recent credits include work with Cleveland Public Theatre’s Entry Point (*Saturated Fat* and *Bipolar Mixtape*) & Station Hope Programs ( *Under/Stand *and *When They Took My Grandmother*), and Talespinner Children’s Theatre’s PLAYground (*The Garden of In-Between*). Meredith is passionate about theatre that brings the personal into the public and serves as a catalyst for connection and community building.

by Benjamin “Wandering Aesthetics” Kyle 01 Aug '19

01 Aug '19

Wandering Aesthetics, Dunamis Theatre & The Spicy Lamb Farm present… The Jungle Book Theatre returns to Peninsula with performances of The Jungle Book in The Spicy Lamb Farm Barn this August. From 1953 to 1974, the Olde Player’s Barn on SR 303 brought theatre to life in Peninsula. Last year, Wandering Aesthetics brought theatre back to the village with a youth performance of A Play Within a Play on a Midsummer’s Day. This year, The Jungle Book is coming to life inside of The Spicy Lamb Farm’s Player’s Barn. Based on Rudyard Kipling’s book of the same name and devised by an extraordinary group of young performers, The Jungle Book takes a look at a number of issues facing modern-day students, from bullying to self expression. Following the story of Mowgli, the man-cub, the audience is transported from a school playground to the untamed jungle where the likes of Baloo, Bagheera, Akeela and Shere Khan, help teach Mowgli the “rules of the jungle”. DATES & TIMES: Friday, August 2 @ 8 PM Saturday, August 3 @ 8 PM Sunday, August 4 @ 2 PM Thursday, August 8 @ 8 PM Friday, August 9 @ 8 PM Saturday, August 10 @ 5:30 PM (As Part of The Spicy Lamb Farm’s Farm-to-Table Dinner) WHERE: The Spicy Lamb Farm 6560 Akron Peninsula Rd.

Heathers at WRP is going into it's second weekend and tickets are going fast!
by Western Reserve Playhouse 01 Aug '19

01 Aug '19

Western Reserve Playhouse Presents “Heathers - The Musical” Written by Kevin Murphy & Laurence O’Keefe Show Dates: July 26-August 10, 2019 WE SOLD OUT OPENING WEEKEND! DON"T WAIT TO GET YOURS! SYNOPSIS: Based on the 80’s dark comedy cult classic film of the same name, Heathers is the story of Veronica Sawyer, a senior at the fictional Westerberg High. Veronica longs to be cool like the clique of it-girls that runs Westerberg: the unaffected, unattainable Heathers. Unfortunately, in addition to awesome levels of popularity, the Heathers are also cruel, choosing to mock and bully their kingdom into submission. When Veronica uses her skills as a forger to get the Heathers out of detention, she impresses their leader Heather Chandler— so much so that they agree to let her into their exclusive club. At first, Veronica is thrilled—until she finds out that being one of the Heathers means bullying the same kids she used to call friends. Meanwhile, Veronica finds herself attracted to a mysterious newcomer at school named Jason Dean (JD). When an innocent drink mix-up results in the accidental poisoning of Heather Chandler, JD convinces Veronica to stage Heather’s suicide. The results are so successful that Veronica and JD, exhilarated with their newfound power, resolve to rid Westerberg of the cruelly popular elite forever. Featuring a raw, edgy, and culturally relevant score. The star studded cast is full of excitement and energy and most are new to the WRP Stage. Leading this wonderful cast are: Kirstin Henry (Veronica), Brian Hirsch (J.D.), Megan Polk (Heather C.), Abby Stoffel (Heather M.), Emily Shipley (Heather D.), Mary Fowler (Martha), Jordan Potter (Ram), Mark Vandevender (Kurt) and filling out the rest of the cast, Steven Schuerger, Tom Hill, Paige Cummings, Hannah Stephens, Katie Jerome Taylor, Kate Breiding, Edward Ahwajee, Ben Arrington, and James Elliott. Directed by Kevin Kelly (Hay Fever), Musical Direction - Bryan Bird (Bridges of Madison County), Choreographer Kristy Cruz (Bare), Stage Managed by Shane Stahl, Costumed by Scott Zolkowski (Bare), Lights/Set Design by Daniel Hunsicker (Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?), and Props Sue Snyder (Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?). “Heathers- The Musical” Written by Kevin Murphy & Laurence O’Keefe.
