Discounted Industry Tickets for Opening Weekend of SMOKEFALL!
by Craig Joseph 25 Jul '19

25 Jul '19

Seat of the Pants is pleased to offer discounted industry tickets for NE Ohio theatre folk for any of our opening weekend productions of Noah Haidle's SMOKEFALL - August 2nd at 8 PM, August 3rd at 8 PM, and August 4th at 2 PM at Ensemble Theatre in Cleveland Heights To purchase your tickets and claim the $3 discount, use the code INDUSTRY at check-out at smokefall.eventbrite.com. "If Thornton Wilder had dropped acid, he might have written *Smokefall." *This is the way that Robert Hofler of *Variety* described Noah Haidle's very fine play, the final production of Seat of the Pants' 2018-2019 season. Magic realism collides with manic vaudeville in this family drama with a chewy metaphysical core. With a nod to *Our Town,* a man named Footnote acts as our guide for the evening. In vitro, twin boys discuss philosophy while awaiting their birth. Their sister, Beauty eats dirt and doesn’t speak, and Father is about to drive away and never return, leaving pregnant and dreamy Mother alone to live out Grandfather’s notion that “every love story is a tragedy, because its ending is built into its beginning.” And that’s just the first act. Whipping from astonishing tenderness to profound humor and back again, this wholly original play uncovers the extraordinary family connections that span and warp across the years and generations, but can never quite be broken. SMOKEFALL stars Andrew Gorell*, Heidi Swinford, Aaron Brown, Kelly Strand, and Bob McCoy. Elizabeth Cammett stage manages. Craig Joseph directs. (denotes member of Actors' Equity).

King Vidor's masterpiece chronicles the life of an ambitious young man who moves to New York City to set the world on fire, only to find himself slowly becoming one of the metropolis's faceless multitude. In 1989, this moving and revered work became one of the first 25 "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant" films selected for the Library of Congress's National Film Registry. Preceded at 7:00 by the Cleveland premiere of a mesmerizing new 12-min. silent film (with music track) by Bruce Checefsky, one of the region's foremost filmmakers. Checefsky's Doctor Hypnison, or the Technique of Living was inspired by a 1923 scenario written by Serbian poet and Surrealist Salomon Monny de Boully (1904-1968). Cinematheque attendee John Riddlebaugh stars and Robert Banks did the cinematography. Total program approx. 2 hours. Special event pricing $18; members, CIA & CSU I.D. holders, and those age 25 & under $15. No passes, twofers, or radio winners.

He displays this pain through his quirky sarcasm and by dancing. *Ethel McCormack* (35 - 45) Ren's mother. She is a strong willed, outspoken single parent who would do anything for her son. (Singing is more traditional musical theater than other characters). *Reverend Shaw Moore *(Baritone, 35-45) Reverend Moore is the most powerful figure in Beaumont.

She ultimately is responsible for holding her family together after its terrible loss. *Ariel Moore *(Belt, Dance, 16 - 18) She is the preacher's daughter. At first glimpse it would appear that she is the perfect girl; beautiful, perky, energetic. But look closer and she is her father's worst nightmare.

He is dating the one girl that Ren obviously has a crush on, Ariel. *Willard Hewitt *(Tenor, Comedic, Dance, 16 - 18) A simple country bumpkin with a warm heart and a big crush.

ACT does not offer union contracts and performers are volunteers. Please direct audition questions to the director at: kevinkelly5678(a)gmail.com How to Succeed - Character Breakdown J. PIERREPONT FINCH - Window cleaner. (Male - Age 20-35, tenor) Finch is young and driven to succeed in the business world. He exhibits a great amount of charm and pluck but is never completely trustworthy. He will vacillate between uncertainty and over-confidence. J.B. BIGGLEY - President of the Worldwide Wicket Company. (Male - Age 45-60, baritone) Biggley is a self-important blowhard. He is the head of the company and makes sure everyone knows it. However, he is completely brought to his knees by the women in his life. BUD FRUMP - Biggley's nephew. (Male - Age 20-40, tenor) Frump is a lazy weasel who expects to succeed in the company through nepotism. He appears to have everything put together, but the people who know him, know the truth. ROSEMARY PILKINGTON - Office Secretary (Female - Age 20-35, mezzo or alto) Rosemary is beautiful, loyal and long-suffering. She is in love with Finch and supports him in his climb to succeed in the company. She is spurned and ignored several times throughout the show and continues to return to Finch. HEDY LA RUE - The Other Woman (Female - Age 20-40, soprano or mezzo) Hedy is the sexy bombshell who is having an affair with Biggley. She is not bright but knows how to use her looks to succeed in the company. She later appears as the pirate mascot in the company "treasure hunt." SMITTY - Office Secretary (Female - Age 20-45, mezzo or alto) Smitty is friend and confidant of Rosemary. She is less idealistic than Rosemary and encourages her in her efforts to snag Finch. MISS JONES - Mr. Biggsley's secretary (Female - Age 20-60, high belt) Miss Jones is the extremely gruff executive secretary to the head of the company. She is the one that keeps Biggley in line, and all of the employees try to stay out of her way. She breaks this mold late in the show with an upbeat solo. This character must be a belter. BERT BRATT - Personnel Manager (Male - Age 20-60, baritone) Harried executive that does a quality job. Bratt is central to the hirings and firings that move the plot along and is one of the only executives who seems to do his job. MR TWIMBLE - Head of the Mail Room (Male - Age 30-60, baritone) Hardworking low-level executive who has been beaten down by working in the mail room for too many years. He is a genuinely likeable guy. WALLY WOMPER - Chairman of the Board (Male - Age 40-70, baritone) Womper is a grumpy looking man who is largely silent. When he does speak, he is revealed to be a gruff but charming man who is proud of his blue-collar background. MISS KRUMHOLTZ - Mr. Gatch's secretary (Female - Age 20-60, soprano, mezzo, or alto) Miss Krumholtz is the professional secretary that is completely loyal to the executive she is assigned to that day. MILT GATCH - Head of Plans and Systems (Male - Age 20-60, tenor, baritone, or bass) Gatch is a confident and handsome junior executive who is not immune to an attractive female. BENJAMIN BURTON DANIEL OVINGTON - New head of advertising (Male - Age 20-40, tenor, baritone, or bass) Ovington is the golden boy. Tall, handsome, athletic and smart. He is hired to head up the advertising department. MALE ENSEMBLE (Junior Executives) (ages 20-40) Various vocal ranges. Multiple speaking parts.
