by Bailey Pfohl 31 Jan '19

31 Jan '19

Guest Director Cory Markowitz returns for 1776! Near West Theatre's very own Cory Markowitz will lend her incredible directing talents to this spring's production of 1776 (May 3-19, 2019)! With over twenty years' experience in theatre, Cory has worked as a performer, director, teacher, and writer in various venues throughout Northeast Ohio, Atlanta, GA, and the UK. Near West Theatre has always held a special place in her heart for its "unique blend of brilliant theatrical vision and inclusive, socially conscious community development." We couldn't be happier to welcome home a friend and a seasoned Near West veteran, with over 15 NWT shows to her credit, for what promises to be a highlight to our season! Auditions for 1776: February 18, 19, 20, 2019 7 - 10pm At Near West Theatre 6702 Detroit Ave, Cleveland, Oh 44102 Older Teen & Adult Cast (Ages 16+) In our modern re-shaping of this hit show, and in the spirit of our mission, casting of characters will be open to all genders, races, and ethnicities. No roles have yet been cast. 1776 Performances: May 3 - 19, 2019 Book by Peter Stone Music and Lyrics by Sherman Edwards Based on a concept by Sherman Edwards About the show: Long before Hamilton, there was 1776! It's a long, hot summer in Philadelphia, and the Continental Congress is an exhausted and quarrelsome assemblage, at each other's throats over the burning question of independence from Great Britain. The nation is on the brink of revolution - if only our founding fathers can agree to sign the declaration! American history blazes to vivid life in this unconventional hit musical, revealing the humor and humanity behind these national icons determined to do the right thing for a fledgling nation. About the audition: NWT holds group auditions in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. No preparation or preregistration is required. Actors of all experience levels are led through multiple improvisational exercises providing every participant equal opportunity to create through word, movement and song. Auditions focus on the creative process, not the product; on working as an ensemble, not solo. Wear comfortable clothing and plan to stay for the full 3 hours. After the initial audition, callbacks will focus on individual roles/songs and working from the script.

Final weekend for the critically acclaimed "Almost, Maine" at Weathervane Playhouse
by Fred Gloor 31 Jan '19

31 Jan '19

"Almost, Maine" is a smooth, easy-to-watch production. The director has a first-rate cast. When you're tired of the cold, snowy Akron evenings, get out for a cold, snowy Maine night." THE WEST SIDE LEADER - http://www.akron.com/editions/Akron-Ohio-News-2019-January-24/Weathervane_s… "They're all quirky stories, always with a twist, which director Deb Lemire and her cast of 17 approach with an often delicious playfulness." - THE AKRON BEACON JOURNAL - https://www.ohio.com/news/20190128/quirky-romance-warms-hearts-in-snowy-alm… "Weathervane Playhouse to present John Cariani's romantic comedy, ALMOST, MAINE! "Spend a midwinter's eve under magical northern lights for this romantic comedy." AKRON- Welcome to Almost, Maine. An almost town in a place far north, where the coldest midwinter night makes nine loosely connected vignettes all the more heartwarming. Beginning January 17th, Weathervane's Founders Theater will be transformed into a magical winter wonderland for John Cariani's renowned romantic comedy hailed by The New York Times, The New York Post, The Wall Street Journal to name just a few. Running through February 3rd, Almost, Maine is a show that will make you laugh, cry, and bask in the joyfulness and diversity of love under the northern lights. Show times: Thursday - Saturday, 7:30 p.m., Sunday, 2:30 p.m. Tickets range from $10 (for children) to $22. Standard ticketing fees apply. Tickets can be purchased by calling 330-836-2626 or going to www.weathervaneplayhouse.com<http://www.weathervaneplayhouse.com>. About the show: On a cold, clear night in the middle of winter, all is not as it seems in this remote, mythical place called Almost, Maine. In a series of nine sweet and soulful vignettes, residents find themselves falling in and out of love in unexpected, often hilarious, and sometimes heartbreaking ways. The New York Post said Almost, Maine is "Thornton Wilder crossed with 'The Twilight Zone'...it's poignant, witty, and nearly perfect." The director's take: Director Deb Lemire said that when people ask her what the show is about, the short answer is love, which is not always so simple. "Love is so many things. It's friendships that catch fire, it's forgiveness and letting go, it's joyful, infuriating, fierce, erotic, messy, weird, terrifying, giddy, exhausting, agonizing, wondrous, surprising, and opens your heart in ways you never thought possible. Is it even worth it? Almost, Maine helps us come to understand that yes, yes it is." Almost, Maine is presented through special arrangement with Dramatists Play Service.
