Season Opener at Western Reserve Playhouse Tartuffe opens in less than three weeks
by Western Reserve Playhouse 03 Jan '19

03 Jan '19

*Western Reserve announces its 2019 Mainstage Season Opener* *“Tartuffe” * *by Molière and translated by Richard Wilbur * *Directed by August Scarpelli * Western Reserve Playhouse opens its exciting 2019 Mainstage Season with Tartuffe, a daring and witty classic comedy that tells the story of a crafty trickster who uses religion as a guise to flatter the vulnerability of a wealthy patriarch. Initially censored following its 1664 premiere, the play is one of Molière’s most famous works. Translated into English verse by Richard Wilbur, and directed by August Scarpelli. A con-man disguised as a pious spiritual leader wheedles his way into the home of a gullible, affluent man in the midst of a mid-life crisis—and promptly sets the household topsy turvy. If not for the quick witted Dorine, grounded Elmire, and infinitely patient Cléante, all might be lost! Deception, lechery, egotism, young love, and delusion collide in Tartuffe. Molière’s classic work skewers religious hypocrisy and self-inflated egotism. Tartuffe hits the heart of present and historical events. “I think it’s a perfect play for current times; this very moment in our history,” observes Artistic Director, Dawn Sniadak-Yamokoski. “In this production of Tartuffe, we can see a fresh outlook on this play. August Scarpelli magically breathes to life this play with humor and passion balancing the relevancy to our current times while keeping the history of this show intact. It does make one wonder what a good con-man could make the naïve believe and see.” WRP’s production of Tartuffe is filled with an extremely talent cast: Tartuffe - Brian Pedaci, Orgon - Jim Fippin, Dorine - Kelsey Tomlinson, Elmire - Mia Radabaugh, Madame Pernelle - Harriet DeVeto, Flipote - Hannah Hilty, Damis - Daniel Hunsicker, Mariane - Kayla Lehman,Valere - Zach Manthey, Cleante - Jay Hill, Monsieur Loyal - Steven Schuerger, Officer - Jeff Bixby Stage Managed by Brianna Laybourn Light Design by Daniel Hunsicker Costume Design by Harry James Set Construction by James Gremba and Justin Herman.

See the movie before seeing the musical! "Hands on a Hard Body: The Documentary" will be screened at Hudson Players Jan. 20th "Hands on a Hard Body," an award-winning documentary film, will be screened at Hudson Players on Sunday, January 20th, 2019, at 7:00 p.m. at Barlow Community Center, 41 S. Oviatt Street in Hudson. The runtime is about one-and-a half hours. The price of admission is whatever you can afford to pay! The movie was the basis for the musical of the same name that will see its Northeast Ohio premiere February 1st at Hudson Players. The captivating show features a tuneful country-rock score and soulful lyrics by Phish's Trey Anastasio and Amanda Green. The 1997 film was directed by S. R. Bindler and documented an endurance competition that took place at a car dealership in Longview, Texas. The contest pits contestants against each other to see who can keep their hand on a pickup truck for the longest amount of time. Whoever can last the longest, without leaning or squatting on the "hardbody," wins the truck. The film chronicled the 1995 competition which lasted an amazing 77 hours! There were five minute breaks issued every hour and fifteen minute breaks every six hours....with real-life people telling their unique stories along the way. "Hands on a Hard Body" garnered audience awards for the best documentary at the 1997 Los Angeles Film Festival. Show dates for the Hudson Players musical "Hands on a Hardbody" are Feb. 1, 2, 8, 9, 10, 15, 16, 17, 22 & 23 at the Barlow Community Center, 41 South Oviatt Street in Hudson For tickets go to www.hudsonplayers.com<http://www.hudsonplayers.com/?fbclid=IwAR223eSTcoHx2DdQR6P8zjALYIledH6-_NER…> or call the box office at 330-655-8522. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The information contained in this message is intended only for the personal and confidential use of the recipient(s) named above.

Calling All Fellow NEohioPAL'ers
by Rose Main 03 Jan '19

03 Jan '19

Good Day Everyone, It’s that time of year again, when we are asked to consider a donation towards keeping this invaluable resource available to all who use it. Last year’s participation totaled 3.1%; a very modest number for a service that provides over 8,000 subscribers with an immeasurable source for learning, enlisting, enhancing and supporting the arts in our area. Personally, I’ve gotten some great gigs through this service, and made many amazing contacts, which would not have been possible otherwise. I simply can’t think ahead and imagine where I would be without this amazing platform, this extraordinary amount of information that openly allows us to share and grow as artists. That said, I’m asking you to please consider giving whatever you can, towards keeping NEohioPAL open and available to all of us. If now isn’t an optimal time for you to make such a contribution, please keep in mind that your donation can be made at any time throughout the year. Thank you, Rose DoCampo Sent from Mail for Windows 10
