Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? by Edward Albee Opens Friday at Western Reserve Playhouse
by Western Reserve Playhouse 30 May '19

30 May '19

Western Reserve Playhouse presents: “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf” by Edward Albee Directed by Kelly Strand Show Dates May 31-June 15, 2019 SYNOPSIS: George, a professor at a small college, and his wife, Martha, have just returned home, drunk from a Saturday night party. Martha announces, amidst general profanity, that she has invited a young couple—an opportunistic new professor at the college and his shatteringly naïve new bride—to stop by for a nightcap. When they arrive the charade begins. The drinks flow and suddenly inhibitions melt. It becomes clear that Martha is determined to seduce the young professor, and George couldn't care less. But underneath the edgy banter, which is crossfired between both couples, lurks an undercurrent of tragedy and despair. George and Martha's inhuman bitterness toward one another is provoked by the enormous personal sadness that they have pledged to keep to themselves: a secret that has seemingly been the foundation for their relationship. In the end, the mystery in which the distressed George and Martha have taken refuge is exposed, once and for all revealing the degrading mess they have made of their lives. The star studded cast filled with some of WRP’s favorites, Kayla Lehman (Tartuffe, Little Women, & Emma), Dennis Runkle (Emma), Max Winer (Dogfight), and Mia Radabaugh (Tartuffe and Emma). Directed by newcomer Kelly Strand, Stage Managed by James Elliot , Costumed by Kelsey Tomlinson, Lights by Daniel Hunsicker, Set by Dawn Sniadak-YamokoskI Set Build/Sound Justin Herman and Props by Sue Snyder “Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf” by Edward Albee Shows are May 31-June 15, 2019 tickets are $17.00 for Adults and $15.00 for Students and Seniors.

*Clague Playhouse* *Red Barn Youth Theater * *Auditions: Wednesday, June 5 at 7:0pm* *Production Dates:* July 26-28, 2019 on Friday and Saturday at 7pm and Sunday at 2pm *Pajama Party* Directed by Richie Lynch *Roles Available: *10 females - age 8-12 *Rehearsals: *Monday and Wednesday, June 12-July 25 from 6-8pm *About the Play:* It starts off as the usual slumber party, complete with a scary ghost story and a parade of pajama costumes. Then a police car starts prowling the neighborhood in search of the Blue Light Burglar. And then comes the mystery girl! *A Guide to the Teenage Zone* Directed by Greg Dziama *Roles Available:* 5 males and 8 females - age 12-15 *Rehearsals: *Tuesday and Thursday, June 11-July 25 from 6-8pm *About the Play:* This is a light-hearted look at young teenagers who are still part child, yet emerging adults. A guide leads us into the everyday world of a group of 12 to17 teenagers starting early in the morning. We follow them to school, back home again and end with late-night phone calls reviewing events of the day as a new dawn approaches. In eight rich scenes, we see sophisticated, yet simple interactive relationships working together: Good Morning!, The Bus Stop, Homeroom, First Period, Lunch, The Bus Ride, The Afternoon, and Evenings and Telephones. Sometimes teens that seem a bit uninterested in their current life circumstance emerge as late bloomers. Regardless, teens come up with brilliant ideas and questions about life as they grow into adulthood. This play highlights some of this transition. Open auditions will be cold readings from the script. Please bring a headshot 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-…>.

Based on the iconic 1969 rock concept album, "The Who's Tommy" is an exhilarating story of hope, healing and the human spirit. The story of the pinball-playing, deaf, dumb and blind boy who triumphs over his adversities has inspired, amazed and puzzled audiences for more than 40 years. This five-time Tony Award-winning musical was translated to the stage by the theatrical wizard, Des McAnuff, into a high-energy, one-of-a-kind theatrical event. After witnessing the accidental murder of his mother's lover by his father, Tommy is traumatized into catatonia and, as the boy grows, he suffers abuse at the hands of his sadistic relatives and neighbors. As an adolescent, he's discovered to have an uncanny knack for playing pinball and, when his mother finally breaks through his catatonia, he becomes an international pinball superstar. CASTING REQUIREMENTS We are seeking to cast a diverse cast of talented and committed performers ages 16 and older - except for two younger performers to portray Tommy at different ages (one as a 4- to 6-year-old and one slightly older as a 10- to 12-year-old). Parents are urged to familiarize themselves with the material in advance of the auditions. Here's a link to a copy of the script: https://www.dropbox.com/s/jioeuh71r84i8iq/Tommy%2C%20LV.pdf?dl=0<https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.dropbox.com%2Fs%2Fjioeuh71…> A breakdown of the show's characters can be found on the auditions SignUp page.https://www.signupgenius.com/go/20f054aaaa62aa2f49-thewhos<https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.signupgenius.com%2Fgo%2F20…> WHAT TO PREPARE FOR THE AUDITION Please prepare 32 bars of music from a song in the style of the show - but NOT a song from the show.

by CRAIG WEBB 30 May '19

30 May '19

We still need a few more Readers / Actors for a new adaptation of H. G. Wells' Island of Dr. Moreau - For 7:00pm Tuesday June 11th at Cleveland Public Theatre's DARK ROOM workshop at W. 64th and Detroit (the little church building) -Plus one rehearsal to be announced. SPECIFICALLY - We need a male & female ingenue, Lota & Edward Pendrake (the original "Edward Prendick" seeming a bit much) and some more extras for multiple roles. This version uses "Double Casting" with the staff and patients of the Mental Asylum where the survivor, Edward Pendrake is incarcerated - acting out the hero's story of horror. Everyone besides Pendrake plays at least two roles. We are only allowed to do 10 pages of the script - but these "character shifts" will be evident in this segment! No memorization is involved, but we will attempt limited movement, blocking, characterization and etc. Further segments will be done on subsequent Dark Room Tuesdays if you wish to continue participating. Contact Craig A. Webb at burningriver(a)msn.com<mailto:burningriver@msn.com> or 216-288-7151 Participants will receive $5 to donate to The Dark Room (or not) Free Beer and the opportunity to see and / or participate in other New Script presentations that night. Since Early Years Craig A. Webb burningriver(a)msn.com<mailto:burningriver@msn.com>
