AUDITIONS: Aug. 13 & 14 for "The Christmas Express"
by Clague Playhouse News 29 Jul '19

29 Jul '19

*A Holiday Comedy* *The Christmas Express* by Pat Cook Directed by Douglas A. Farren *Auditions:* Tuesday, August 13 & Wednesday, August 14 at *7:00pm* *Production Dates: *Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays at 8 pm and Sundays at 2 pm, Nov. 8 - Dec. 8, 2019 (no performance on Thanksgiving) There are parts for 6 women and 4 men. All are part of “small-town Americana”. The play takes place in a dilapidated railroad station. *The Story: *“This is the most hopeless place in the world!” Hilda intones as she and Satch argue over what time it is. Hilda dreams of faraway places to fight the tedium of running the Holly Railway Station until, that is, Leo Tannenbaum drops in out of nowhere just before Christmas. Suddenly an old radio springs to life and the local group of carolers begins to sound like the Morman Tabernacle Choir. The whole town now gets into the Christmas spirit. Coincidence? This nostalgic story is full of eccentric small-town characters who begin to discover the true wonder of Christmas, making us all wish that we, too, could take a ride on The Christmas Express. Open auditions will be cold readings from the script. No appointment is necessary. Auditions will be held at Clague Playhouse, 1371 Clague Road, Westlake. Please bring a head shot and resume, if available. If not, a photo will be taken as needed. Please visit www.clagueplayhouse.org to download and print an audition form <http://clagueplayhouse.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/ClagueAuditionForm18-…>. A limited number of perusal scripts are available to borrow for 3 days with a $10 refundable deposit from the Clague Playhouse Box Office (Wed.-Sat. 1-6pm).

by Roy Berko 28 Jul '19

28 Jul '19

*•••••••••••••••••••••••••••* *CAPSULE JUDGMENT: “The Music Man” is a staple of the American musical theatre genre. It makes for a wonderful summer escape. The Porthouse production is not without its flaws, but all in all, the end result is a pleasurable experience.* *To read the entire review go to: **www.royberko.info* <http://www.royberko.info>*. ** To read the capsule judgements of the other Cleveland reviewers go to: **www.clevelandtheaterreviews.com* <http://www.clevelandtheaterreviews.com> *••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••*

TOP 12 reasons to see TUCK EVERLASTING at French Creek Theatre (only 4 performances remain)
by Fred Sternfeld 28 Jul '19

28 Jul '19

*TOP 12 reasons to see 1 of the last 4 performances of TUCK EVERLASTING* *12. IT ISN'T AS FAR AS YOU THINK.* Contrary to rumor, French Creek Theatre is not in Indiana. It is 15 minutes or so west of Lakewood. *11, 10, 9. THE REVIEWS!* Cleveland Scene <https://www.clevescene.com/scene-and-heard/archives/2019/07/23/tuck-everlas…> The Cleveland Jewish News <https://www.clevelandjewishnews.com/news/even-time-can-t-touch-french-creek…> CoolCleveland <https://coolcleveland.com/2019/07/theater-review-tuck-everlasting-french-cr…> *8, 7, 6, 5, 4. OUR AUDIENCES ARE LOVING IT!* "If you live on the east side of Cleveland, French Creek Theater is very far away. If you live on the west side, it’s still far, but not a bad drive. If you live in Avon, Ohio, it’s no travel at all. But, no matter where you live, even if it’s Pittsburgh or Chicago, you should make the trip to see Tuck Everlasting. Sharon and I saw this musical this past weekend and were both wildly entertained and moved to tears. Fred Sternfeld <https://www.facebook.com/fsternfeld?__tn__=%2CdK-R-R&eid=ARC879SeSK1gRTteb6…> has put together one of the most stellar casts you’re likely to see off-off-off Broadway (so far off Broadway, it’s in Ohio). But, Fred, with his reputation preceding him, and his experience as an actual Broadway producer, has the ability to attract the best talent in the area (one of them even drives 2 hours from Youngstown!), cast them perfectly, and direct them to find the heart, soul, and truth of the story, bringing out their best performances. This is the case with the funny and tender-sweet musical Tuck Everlasting. It only runs for one more weekend, so, no matter where you live, get your tickets while any are still available, and make the trip. You won’t be sorry." Noah Budin "seriously one of the best shows I have seen! Absolutely AMAZING!!" "a fantastic performance!" "I have attended many great community theater performances, but have never had a cast evoke such emotion in me. I was smiling through the first act, cried during the second act and realized once the lights came on at the end I never stood because I was in such awe of what I had just watched." Jessica Cameron "Saw the show Saturday night...really wonderful and worth the drive!" Carol Pribble "Tuck Everlasting at French Creek was just a beautiful, touching show that pulls at your heartstrings every which way. Under the masterful direction of Fred Sternfeld <https://www.facebook.com/fsternfeld?__tn__=%2CdK-R-R&eid=ARBaQGwMuw5diR9FC3…> who once again shows why he is one of the best directors in NE Ohio.

And a stunning performance by Calista Zajac that is worth the price of the ticket; she was a student of Fred’s at HBTI. Stephen Sandham was perfection as Jesse Tuck. Do not miss this show! However do bring tissues." Sue Cohen "If you haven't done so already, GO SEE "TUCK EVERLASTING!!!!" The talent is amazing and the entire show is too! The music directed by David Williams and his musicians is also top notch !!!! GO! SEE! NOW! Kenn Rothman *3. YOU PROBABLY DON'T KNOW THIS SHOW AND YOU MAY WANT TO DO IT AT YOUR THEATRE.* Seriously, this is a great musical that ran for far too short of a time on Broadway. It was too intimate for a big Broadway house but is perfect for small to medium size venues. *2.

AUDITIONS FOR THE COMEDY OF ERRORZ
by Michael Dempsey 27 Jul '19

27 Jul '19

Mahoning Valley Players, SmashUp Entertainment and Oakland Center for the Arts will hold *OPEN AUDITIONS* for “The Comedy of Errorz,” a slapstick adaptation of Shakespeare’s classic farce. Adapted and directed by Michael Dempsey *WHEN:* SUNDAY, AUGUST 4 @ 8:00pm and MONDAY, AUGUST 5 @ 7:30pm *WHERE:* Infinity Dance and Performing Arts, 7050 Market Street Suite #102 Boardman, Ohio 44512. Located in the plaza (with Main Moon Chinese) just north of Rte. 224 past Ace Jewelers. Second business from the left. (If you would like to audition but cannot make these dates, please contact director Michael Dempsey at smashuptheatre(a)gmail.com.) *ABOUT THE SHOW: * *This show will be a no-holds barred slapstick farce, with tons of physical comedy and zany vaudeville elements. Slap-fests! Pratfalls! Pie fights! It's going to be silly! It's going to be stupid! It's going to be...SHAKESPEARE! *The Comedy of Errors is Shakespeare's most fast-paced and farcical comedy, with much of the humor coming from mistaken identity, puns and word play. Michael Dempsey’s modern adaptation retains Shakespeare's comic gems, even as it ups the silliness quotient by throwing slapstick, topical references, song satires and clowning into the mix. Antipholus searches for his long-lost identical twin brother, Antipholus, while his "personal assistant" Dromio searches for his long-lost identical twin brother, Dromio. Two sets of twins with the same name, running around the same city -- what could go wrong? For those who’ve never performed Shakespeare but have wanted to try, this is the perfect entry show. This is one of Shakespeare’s easiest plays in terms of verse. It also has modern language and references thrown in. Director Michael Dempsey was professionally trained in Shakespeare at the National Theatre of Great Britain and took master classes at the Royal Shakespeare Company in London. He’s great at taking the fear out of acting Shakespeare and making it a rewarding experience for newbies and veterans alike. *AUDITION REQUIREMENTS: *Previous experience performing Shakespeare is not required. You will be asked to read from the script. If you wish to prepare a short Shakespeare monologue, we would be delighted to hear it. *PERFORMANCES:* SEPTEMBER 20-22, FRI and SAT @ 7:30, SUN @ 2:30 TRINITY FELLOWSHIP CHURCH, 4749 South Ave, Youngstown, OH 44512 * REHEARSALS *will begin around August 11. Rehearsals are typically Sun-Thurs evenings. Please come to auditions with a list of your conflicts. For questions or more information, contact director Michael Dempsey at demzer(a)gmail.com. * CHARACTER BREAKDOWN: *THE MOTLEY CREW *A *comic collection of actors, clowns and crazies who perform all sorts of bits throughout the play and multiple small roles. HEAD CLOWN/NARRATOR/LEADER OF THE MOTLEY CREW ANTIPHOLUS OF SYRACUSE DROMIO OF SYRACUSE, his slave ANTIPHOLUS OF EPHESUS DROMIO OF EPHESUS, his slave ADRIANA, histrionic Wife to Antipholus of Ephesus LUCIANA, her uptight Sister DUKE SOLINUS, Ruler of Ephesus EGEON, a Merchant of Syracuse & father of the Antipholuses EMILIA, Long-lost Wife to Egeon, an Abbess at Ephesus DOCTOR PINCH, a doctor, schoolteacher & would-be exorcist COURTESAN, saucy friend to Antipholus of Ephesus and Proprietress of the Porpentine LUCE, Adriana's servant BALTHAZAR, a Merchant ANGELO, a Goldsmith A MERCHANT, friend to Antipholus of Syracuse 2ND MERCHANT OFFICER * ABOUT THE DIRECTOR:* MICHAEL DEMPSEY is a novelist, playwright, actor and director. A former television and film comedy writer (CBS’s *Cybill* starring Cybill Shepherd, *The George Wendt Show*), his plays have been produced in NYC, LA and regionally. In NE Ohio, he’s directed at Players Guild of Canton, TrueNorth Cultural Arts, Rust Belt Theatre Company, Hathaway Brown Theatre Institute, Aurora Community Theatre, Carnation City Players, Salem Community Theatre, The Youngstown Playhouse and Oakland Center for the Arts. Michael recently worked with director Fred Sternfeld at French Creek Theatre in Tuck Everlasting as The Man In The Yellow Suit and at Chagrin Valley Players as “Harry Bright” in Mamma Mia. Michael studied theatre at Ohio State University, Actors Theatre of Louisville and the Royal National Theatre of Great Britain. Michael’s company, *SmashUp Entertainment,* creates comedy-driven theatre events combining slapstick, music, dance, improv and environmental elements. He’s a past recipient of an Ohio Arts Council award for playwriting and his sci fi noir novel, *Necropolis*, is available nationally from Night Shade Books. Michael Dempsey, Artistic Director SmashUp Entertainment is an off-the-rails roller coaster of a theatre company that produces dynamic live comedy-driven events. Our outrageous originals—as well as hilarious, unhinged adaptations of all your favorite stories—provide a one-of-a-kind experience for anyone looking for something different. Whether it’s next-level dinner theatre or out-of-the-box “mash-up” musicals, SmashUp breaks all the rules as music, slapstick, spectacle and improv collide in a modern interactive happening unlike anything offered in the Valley. Michael is also author of the sci fi noir novel NECROPOLIS <http://www.amazon.com/Necropolis-Michael-Dempsey/dp/1597803154/ref=sr_1_1?i…> "Wildly entertaining." -- Tor.com
