by Fred Gloor 23 May '19

23 May '19

The final weekend starts tonight, and here are some of the things people are saying about Noises Off at Weathervane Playhouse: The "Weathervane cast brings perfection to wildly funny farce" - The Akron Beacon Journal Full Akron Beacon Journal review https://bit.ly/2VXf3jP "Noises Off" is an excellent production. I can't praise the work of cast, director and crew enough. Don't miss this excellent treat." - The West Side Leader Full West Side Leader Review - http://www.akron.com/akron-ohio-entertainment-news.asp?aID=40710 "A delightful group of polished performers who know how to energetically embody their over-the-top characters. Gloor gleefully stages the show, playing up both the verbal and physical comedy to the hilt. His pacing perfectly escalates throughout the three acts, culminating in complete chaos and heightened hilarity by the end of the evening." - In The Land of Cleve Full In the Land of Cleve review: https://bit.ly/2Vo2Kbf "The cast is wonderful, and the play is nonstop hilarity! I recommend it." - Audience member "Great play, we laughed the entire time. Great cast and crew!" - Audience member Sardines, doors, bags, boxes, words, and us! Weathervane Playhouse presents the uproarious Noises Off AKRON - Get ready to laugh until it hurts as Weathervane Playhouse presents the hilarious farce, Noises Off in our Founders Theater through May 26th. Show times are Thursdays through Saturdays at 7:30 p.m. and Sundays at 2:30 p.m. Tickets are $10 - $22 and can be purchased by calling 330-836-2626 or going to www.weathervaneplayhouse.com<http://www.weathervaneplayhouse.com> Noises Off is the original play gone wrong! Often called the funniest farce ever written, Noises Off is the hilarious play-within-a-play that takes a peek behind the curtain as a crazy troupe of second-rate British theater actors rehearses for a show called Nothing On. Full of side-splitting, laugh-out-loud physical comedy, Noises Off promises a guaranteed good night out at the theater! Audience Advisory: Noises Off contains adult language/situations. This production is directed by Associate Artistic/Marketing Director Fred Gloor, who says "Noises Off may be one of the funniest plays ever written. Despite their best efforts, this intrepid group of performers just can't seem to get it right. I can't claim that there is an enormous meaning in all they endure, but we can all relate to trying our hardest and falling flat. Each one of us is looking for that elusive plate of sardines. It is my hope audiences who come to see Noises Off can forget their cares, sit back, and laugh at someone falling down the stairs." Noises Off is presented through special arrangement with Samuel French, Inc. The videotaping or other video or audio recording of this production is strictly prohibited.

LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS Music by Alan Menken Book and Lyrics by Howard Ashman Show Information: A deviously delicious Broadway and Hollywood sci-fi smash musical, Little Shop Of Horrors has devoured the hearts of theatre goers for over 30 years. Howard Ashman and Alan Menken (Disney's The Little Mermaid, Beauty And The Beast, and Aladdin) are the creative geniuses behind what has become one of the most popular shows in the world. The meek floral assistant Seymour Krelborn stumbles across a new breed of plant he names "Audrey II" - after his coworker crush. This foul-mouthed, R&B-singing carnivore promises unending fame and fortune to the down-and-out Krelborn as long as he keeps feeding it, BLOOD. Over time, though, Seymour discovers Audrey II's out of this world origins and intent towards global domination! Casting Requirements Looking for a cast of 8, ages 16+ for all roles. Seymour Krelborn An insecure, put-upon florist's clerk and eventual hero. He is a genuine, well-meaning man who is taken for granted because of his clumsy ways and poor social skills. Gender: Male Age: 18 to 30 Vocal range:A2-G4 Audrey Bleached-blond, Billie-Dawn-like, secret love of Seymour's life. She has poor self-worth and education, but incredibly good looks and a sweet and vulnerable demeanor. Gender: Female Age: 18 to 30 Vocal range: G#3-D5 Mr. Mushnik The seasoned owner of the failing East Side flower shop and Seymour's nosy boss. He is profit-driven, greedy, and manipulative. Gender: Male Age: 40 to 65 Vocal range: G2-F4 Orin Scrivello An egotistical dentist with a passion for leather and sadistic tendencies. Audrey's abusive boyfriend, who is targeted by Seymour. This Actor will also serve as the entire ensemble, playing close to 7 other characters of both genders. Gender: Male Age: 18 to 35 Vocal range: G2-G4 Audrey 2 An actor/vocalist located offstage. The voice is that of a conniving, street-smart 'villain.' A funky Rhythm and Blues voice is best. Gender: Male or Female Age: 20 to 50 Vocal range top: G2-G4 Crystal, Ronnette and Chiffon Street urchins, acting as the occasional Greek Chorus. Young, hip, and smart, these girls are the only ones who have a grip on reality.

Seeking Performance Collaborators, Paid
by SPACES Submissions 23 May '19

23 May '19

SPACES (www.spacescle.org) with Artist-in-Residence, Marisa Williamson ( www.marisawilliamson.com) are casting experienced performers for a summer visual arts & performance project. *Room*, a variation on the escape room, is an interactive multimedia installation, performance, and speculative retelling of historical narratives from the lives of three women, enslaved in colonial America. ROLES AVAILABLE: *Tituba *has magic powers. She is intelligent, sensitive, and capable. She cannot help but attract suspicion. The dark, West Indian woman, strange among strangers in Salem Village, dresses in black and often wears her hood pulled up over her extraordinary hair. *Sally Hemings* is a seamstress. With time and patience, her obsessive mind and unsettled hands can pull almost anything together. While she works, her imagination runs far and wide; beyond Monticello, beyond her master’s restrictive pen, rummaging through the past before fleeing quietly into the future. Sally has the secret gift of foresight. *Phillis Wheatley* is a genius. She was only eight when she was kidnapped and shipped from Africa to America. To the Boston family that purchased her, it was obvious that the young creature had talent. She taught herself from her master’s books; a private and uncommon education. Phillis is a poet. Her poetry is stirring. MORE DETAILS: Performers will be contracted for performances: *July 11,13, 18, and 20 (5:30-9:30pm)*. We anticipate approximately 15-25 hours of rehearsal (to be scheduled), including technical run-throughs, prior to performance events. A stipend for participation will be provided. Complete the info form online: *https://www.spacescle.org/room <https://www.spacescle.org/room>* Email *megan(a)spacescle.org <megan(a)spacescle.org>* for more details.
