CRY IT OUT Auditions TOMORROW AND WEDNESDAY!
by Avenue Arts Marketplace & Theatre 24 Jun '19

24 Jun '19

Avenue Arts Marketplace & Theatre announces auditions for CRY IT OUT Located at 324 Cleveland Ave. NW Canton, Ohio 44702 SYNOPSIS: Four months ago, Jessie was a corporate lawyer with a glamorous Manhattan life. Today, she is in dirty yoga pants, covered in breast milk, trying to comfort a screaming newborn. Isolated in a sleepy Long Island suburb while her commuter husband works long hours, Jessie is desperate to talk to anyone besides Food Network. So when she spies a fellow new mom and neighbor, Lina, at the local Stop & Shop, she vaults over the cantaloupe to introduce herself. Happy to have found each other, the two moms agree to meet for coffee during naptime in the sweet spot behind their adjoining yards where both their baby monitors get reception, and a fast friendship is born. Jessie and Lina may be from vastly different financial backgrounds—Jessie is Ivy-educated and of the manor born; Lina has a night-school nursing degree and terrible credit—but they have one huge thing in common: they’ve been cracked open by the love they feel for their newborns. One coffee quickly becomes a daily coffee, as Jessie and Lina laugh through the highs and lows of motherhood. But their intimacy is punctured when a stranger who lives in the mansion up on the cliff appears in the yard, asking if they would include his wife, a new mom who is having “a hard time,” in their coffee klatch. Reluctantly, the duo tries to become a trio, but with very mixed—and surprising—results. After all, this is a town where the haves and the have-nots live in very close company; up on the cliff is Sands Point, one of the most expensive Great Gatsby-esque neighborhoods in the whole country. How could that woman possibly be having a “hard time”? A comedy with dark edges, Cry It Out takes an honest look at the absurdities of being home with a baby, the power of female friendship, the dilemma of going back to work, and the effect class has on parenthood in America. Cry it Out is produced by special arrangement with THE DRAMATIC PUBLISHING COMPANY of Woodstock, Illinois. Directed by: David Lee Auditions will be held on Tuesday, June 25th and Wednesday, June 26th. Callbacks (if necessary) will take place on Thursday, June 27th. TO SIGN UP FOR AUDITIONS: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/60b0c4bafa82ca3fe3-cryitout <https://www.signupgenius.com/go/60b0c4bafa82ca3fe3-cryitout> All auditioners are asked to come prepared to cold read from the script. We also ask that you bring a current headshot and resume with you to auditions. Rehearsals will begin on June 30th and typically run Sunday through Thursday evenings. Performances: August 9th, 10th, 16th, and 17th at 8pm and August 11th at 2pm CHARACTERS: Jessie (Female, 30s) - Married to a North Shore native; recently relocated to Port (from Manhattan) to raise her family. Educated, articulate, lovely, warm. From the Midwest and has that Midwestern ready-smile. Beloved by every teacher she’s ever had. Always gives the perfect toast; always organizes the group gift. But in private, Jessie bends towards anxiety. She doesn’t like empty days on calendars, or being alone. Works 90-hour weeks in the city as a corporate lawyer—or did, until Allie was born. Now she’s in yoga pants. Lina (Female, late 20s-early 30s) - From Long Beach (on South Shore of Long Island) and you can tell immediately—she is very South Shore. Acrylic nails, big hoops, velour track suits, Mets trucker hats, and a huge Italian family. Lina failed out of community college, curses too much and blasts Kanye too loudly in the car. But she is also fantastically winning. She’s fun, funny and refreshingly genuine. Works at St. Francis Hospital. Mitchell (Male, 30s-40s) - Adrienne’s husband, works in investment capital. A math nerd who is amazing with numbers, but not people. Serious, shrewd, sensitive. The kid who ate lunch in the library because he was so shy. Mitchell grew up in a tough house in a tough part of Utica and scholarshipped his way to where he is now, so grades, status and success are his currency. But becoming a father has changed him. He makes goofy faces now. He stares out windows during meetings. His sentences end in question marks. Adrienne (Female, 30s) - Mitchell’s wife. Elegant, powerful, aloof and slightly rock ’n’ roll. Has eyes that are cat-like and assessing. The kind of woman you see climbing out of a dark sedan at JFK headed somewhere more glamorous than you. Adrienne grew up on Central Park West, attended posh boarding schools, studied art abroad and could give you the best-ever guided tour of MoMA. She has never signed an e-mail with an x or an o, but she is loyal and ferocious in both business and life. A successful jewelry designer. All questions should be directed to avenueartstheatre(a)gmail.com <mailto:avenueartstheatre@gmail.com>

The Addams Family At Near West Theatre Fall Youth Production, Ages 9 - 15 Show Run: Sep 20 - Oct 6 Performances: Sep 20, 21, 27, 28, 29, Oct 3, 4, 5, 6 Auditions: June 27, 28, 29, 6 - 9pm (Come one day) ABOUT THE SHOW In the kooky, upside-down world of the Addams Family, nothing is ever what is to be expected or adored, nonetheless, this quirky family still has to deal with many of the same challenges faced by any other family, and the spookiest nightmare faced by every family creates this ruckus of a musical: the Addams kids are growing up. The Addams's have lived by their unique values for hundreds of years and Gomez and Morticia, the patriarch and matriarch of the clan, would be only too happy to continue living that way. Their dark, macabre, beloved daughter Wednesday, however, is ready for a life of her own. She has fallen in love with Lucas Beineke, a sweet, smart boy from a normal, respectable Ohio family - the most un-Addams sounding person one could be! And to make matters worse, she has invited the Beinekes to their home for dinner. In one fateful, hilarious night, secrets are disclosed, relationships are tested, and the Addams family must face up to the one horrible thing they've managed to avoid for generations: change. ABOUT THE AUDITION Please arrive 15 minutes early to register. Auditions begin promptly at the designated time.

Near West Theatre Selects Trinidad Snider as New Artistic Director
by Bailey Pfohl 24 Jun '19

24 Jun '19

For Immediate Release Contact: Mike Obertacz, Executive Director (216) 961-9750 mobertacz(a)nearwesttheatre.org Near West Theatre Selects Trinidad Snider as New Artistic Director Snider to take the reins as 42nd season begins at community theatre in Gordon Square Arts District CLEVELAND (June 20, 2019) - Near West Theatre (NWT) today announces the hiring of Trinidad Snider as Artistic Director, effective June 26, 2019. Snider will lead the artistic vision and initiatives of Near West Theatre, in partnership with Executive Director Mike Obertacz, as the two collaborate to offer a robust season of musical theatre productions, theatre education and choral programs, and events that are inclusive, accessible and transformational for participants and audiences alike. Together, Snider and Obertacz will steward the theatre into a new era following the retirement of two of Near West Theatre's beloved community members: founder and former Executive Director Stephanie Morrison Hrbek and Bob Navis, Jr., Artistic Director of 40 years. "This is truly a full circle moment for me," says Snider. "Near West Theatre has been a part of my life for three decades because its mission is one that speaks so clearly to the type of artist and person I strive to be. At Near West, we create a safe, welcoming environment open to anyone, where people from all backgrounds and experience levels can come together to create professional quality art. No matter your age, race, sexual orientation, economic status, physical or mental challenges or experience level, you're at home at Near West Theatre. As I work with Mike, I look forward to building on the legacy of Stephanie and Bob while fostering the next generation of Near West Theatre talent and driving our mission forward." Snider first came to Near West Theatre in 1989 for a teen production of "Fame," followed by performances in various shows on the NWT stage over the next 20 years. Her excellence as an artist also was developed through education at the Cleveland School of Performing Arts and Conservatory of Music at the University of Cincinnati, as well as extensive work as a director and performer in the Northeast Ohio community, including experience directing adults, teens and children. Most recently, she served as a Teaching Artist with The Musical Theater Project, where she taught the Kids Love Musicals and intergenerational programs, plus helped create and facilitate the Creative Aging Program focused on seniors and the arts. "This moment is a real homecoming for Trinidad," says Obertacz. "She started her journey at Near West Theatre and has grown to become a force in the Greater Cleveland theatre scene. Her exceptional artistic talent will be an incredible asset to our community, but most importantly, she also is an expert on our mission, process and commitment to community building and the healing power of the arts. She has carried our mission through her work elsewhere, and it is time to welcome her home to lead us into the next era of creating transformational theatre arts experiences for our community." Snider's background also includes serving as the Business Director for The Memorial Opera House in Indiana, where she helped the organization rebuild and achieve financial success, as well as roles in human resources and customer service with Marriott and InterContinental Hotels. This unique combination of deep artistic experience and business acumen will serve her exceedingly well in her new role. "The search committee and board of trustees could not be happier to welcome Trinidad as our next Artistic Director," notes Board President Steve Beiting. "With her long history with Near West Theatre, as well as her wealth of both artistic talent and business knowledge, she's ideally suited to build upon our past while helping us transition into our future. We're confident she will live and breathe our mission as she works diligently to serve our community every day." Trinidad's hire comes on the heels of Near West Theatre's recently adopted three-year strategic plan, which will expand mission-centric productions, programs, and events while improving organizational infrastructure. A recent recipient of a state capital budget grant, in partnership with the Gordon Square Arts District and its institutions, Near West Theatre will begin construction on a new production and program space in the fall of 2019.

Fwd: Box Office Now Open, Shadow of the Run Chapter 1: WanderLust
by Shadow of the Run 23 Jun '19

23 Jun '19

*Shadow of the Run Chapter 1: WanderLust Box Office Now Open* <http://www.shadowoftherun.com> *Tickets are now available for all performances. * Please visit our websit <http://www.shadowoftherun.com>e <http://www.shadowoftherun.com> to purchase your tickets! Performances are July 25-28, August 1, 3 & 4. *Shadow of the Run Chapter 1: WanderLust *requires timed admission, and begins every 20 minutes starting at 6:00 pm with last admission at 10:00 pm. Each time slot is limited to 14 audience members. Performances will be located in several locations near the Bedford Historical Society, 30 S. Park RD, Bedford, OH 44146 No tickets will be available at the door, and must be purchased online at least 12 hours prior to the performance. *Prosperity. Joy. Ambition. Regret. In a time where family was one’s true north, with the Great Depression looming, a wave of discontent rushed over the city. Ambition can lead to desperation; regret can lead to death. A young girl is ready to leave home for the big city, despite strangling words of caution from a family that can’t, or won’t understand her. With a chance to find a brighter path…she finds him instead – the origin of a heartbreaking legacy that will stain the city of Cleveland for years to come. Why Immersive Audiences today are choosing personal experiences over the purchase of physical objects. Immersive theatre dives into this mindset - a guest can attend multiple performances and have a completely different experience based on the choices they make throughout the evening. Combining elements from theatre, night clubs, and personal exploration into one evening of fully engaging entertainment, audiences will want to gather afterwards to share their experience and make plans for their next trip. * Guests are advised to wear comfortable clothing, and non-slip shoes that are comfortable for walking and climbing stairs. Parts of the performance will be outdoors. Delays or cancellations due to inclement weather will be rescheduled to the best of our ability. Due to the nature and locations of the event, we are unfortunately not ADA Accessible. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us at shadowoftherun(a)gmail.com *Background Information * Shadow of the Run was conceived in December 2015 by Beth McGee and Adam Kern. In January 2016 the project was awarded a $1,000 grant as an audience favorite from Notre Dame College’s SEAChange Program, prior to appearing in the Cleveland Leadership Center’s Accelerate Competition in February of the same year. With initial support from Joe and Anthony Russo, the team continued development to find the right opportunity to bring Immersive to the city of Cleveland. As implied in the title Chapter 1: WanderLust is the first part of a larger production, aimed for a 2020 opening. Investors and sponsors can reach Adam Kern at shadowoftherun(a)gmail.com. There will also be a Kickstarter campaign leading up to the 2019 performance. Shadow of the Run LLC will present ongoing original immersive works, like New York’s Sleep No More which has been running continuously since 2009 in Hell’s Kitchen. After WanderLust and the rest of the Shadow series, the company has three other projects they plan on premiering in Cleveland, in hopes of making the city the Immersive capital of the Midwest.
