Corp video
by Jeff Polen 08 Oct '18

08 Oct '18

Looking for male actors for corporate video. Four roles to fill. Kyle - 30's to 40's , manufacturing manager, blue collar Jake - 20's to 30's , manufacturing worker, blue collar Jon - 30's to 50's , corporate manager, suit and tie type Addison - 30's to 40's, corporate auditor, business casual type Shooting will take place at Goodyear HQ in Akron, Ohio sometime during the week of October 15th, 2018, Monday through Friday during the hours of 8am - 5pm. Please submit a short video audition, cell phone, tablet, camera. Free parking, rate is $250 per role. PLEASE NO PHONE CALLS KYLE: Hey, Jake. Rejecting another one for missing the balancing spec? You're rejecting a lot of tires for being out of spec lately. JAKE: Yeah, I don't know what's going on. A lot of tires are falling outside the acceptable range...they're close but just missing the spec. KYLE: Are you sure? How far out of spec? Wait a minute. You're using THAT spec on the computer? KYLE: These tires should have been ok. That spec isn't the one we use. You should be using this one (points to wall). This is the "local spec." This one has been more consistent on pass rates across the plant-who knows what that spec is or how recently it's been updated? JAKE: (Skeptical) Really? Shouldn't the spec be uniform across all the plants? I've been working here a few months now and I was trained that we are supposed to measure versus the global spec (points to computer). KYLE: C'mon Jake, as business center manager, I know what you should be doing, and I'm telling you - use this spec (points to wall). JAKE: (Reluctantly) Okay, if you say so... ADDISON: Here are the two specs, Jon, the global spec and the "Local Spec." What do you think? JON: Very interesting. This "Local Spec" has higher tolerances than the company required global spec. The global spec is based on our internal requirements but also what some of our customers demand. This might explain why we are receiving high return rates on this tire for vibration. Looking at the print out of this machine, you can see the ones that should have been pulled. Someone had to have looked at the rates and changed to this "Local Spec" knowing it would help pass rates. "His manager and maybe others up the chain had to have known about this." ADDISON: So Kyle, which of the plant's managers and supervisors directed you to use the "Local Spec"?

Review of "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf" at Beck Center for the Arts
by Bob Abelman 08 Oct '18

08 Oct '18

Beck Center’s ‘Virginia Woolf’ serves schadenfreude on the rocks Bob Abelman Cleveland Jewish News, The News Herald, The Morning Journal Member, American Theatre Critics Association Edward Albee’s 1962 drama “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?” invites audiences to be a collective fly on the wall of George and Martha’s modest home to witness their cruel psychological warfare, intense verbal abuse and what amounts to some of the best writing in the American theater. By hosting the play in the intimate back room known as the Studio Theater rather than on its larger main stage, the Beck Center for the Arts puts the audience directly in the line of fire. So close are the performers – made even more so by director Donald Carrier’s tendency to push them to the edge of the performance space and the brink of sanity – that there should be a splash zone for the flying gin and soaring tempers.

Upcoming Auditions for BENT!
by Avenue Arts Marketplace & Theatre 08 Oct '18

08 Oct '18

Avenue Arts Marketplace & Theatre announces auditions for BENT Located at 324 Cleveland Ave. NW Canton, Ohio 44702 SYNOPSIS: In 1934 Berlin on the eve of the Nazi incursion, Max, a grifter and his lover Rudy are recovering from a night of debauchery with a SA trooper. Two soldiers burst into the apartment and slit their guest's throat, beginning a nightmare odyssey through Nazi Germany. Ranked lower on the human scale than Jews, the men as awoved homosexuals, flee. Desperate and on the run, Max asks his own "discreetly" homosexual Uncle Freddie for help as the older man offers little more than suggestions on how to live, as he does, practicing homosexuality on the side. Attempting their escape, Rudy is beaten to death as Horst, another homosexual prisoner, warns Max to deny his lover. Taken to a death camp at Dachau, Max and Horst branded with the "pink triangle", hope to survive with each other for comfort and courage but it is not to be. "Bent" is presented by special arrangement with SAMUEL FRENCH, INC. Directed by: Jared Sparks Stage Manager: Olivia King Auditions will be held on Sunday, October 21st, and Wednesday October 24th from 7-9pm 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 October 28th and will generally take place Sun-Thurs (lighter rehearsals toward the beginning. Heavier in December) Performances: January 4th, 5th, 11th, and 12th at 8pm and January 6th at 2pm. CHARACTERS: Max (Male, 30s) - homosexual "wheeler dealer" who leads a dissolute life of drink, drugs, and sporadic sex until the horros of Nazi Germany intervene and effectively put an end to his hedonistic alcoholic life style; a tormented individual, tortured by the memory of his reprehensible actions, but never loses his basic humanity; not at all a coward, but rather a pragmatist. Horst (Male, 20s) - relatively muscular physique and a kind nature; a "pink triange", incarcerated in the death camps of Dacheu because of his homosexuality; a sensitive man, strongly affected by Max's torment. Rudy (Male, 30s) - bespectacled, homosexual dancer; rather gushy, effusive, homebody type who has a great love for Max and his precious household plants; tends to become a trifle hysterical at times. Greta (Male, late 30s) - a man dressed as a woman in a silver dress, top hat and cane; presents an appearance that is at once elegant and bizarre; tough, practical proprietor of a gay nightclub who entertains patrons by singing in a smoky seductive voice; Nazis' rise to power sends him back to his wife and kids. Uncle Freddie (Male, 50s) - aristocratic, well-dressed; Max's uncle, a "closet fluff" Wolf (Male, 30s) - gay man picked up by Max one drunken evening. (Possible Nudity) Ensemble (Male, 20-60) - Guards, Officers, Prisoners, Captains.

Auditions NEXT WEEK for IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE!
by Avenue Arts Marketplace & Theatre 08 Oct '18

08 Oct '18

Avenue Arts Marketplace & Theatre announces auditions for IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE Avenue Arts Marketplace & Theatre is located at 324 Cleveland Ave. NW Canton Ohio 44702 SYNOPSIS: In our American culture It's a Wonderful Life has become almost as familiar as Dickens' A Christmas Carol. The story is a natural for a stage adaptation: the saga of George Bailey, the Everyman from the small town of Bedford Falls, whose dreams of escape and adventure have been quashed by family obligation and civic duty, whose guardian angel has to descent on Christmas Eve to save him from despair and to remind him—by showing him what the world would have been like had he never been born—that his has been, after all, a wonderful life. This faithful adaptation has all your favorite characters: George and Mary Hatch, Clarence, Uncle Billy, Violet, and, of course, the Scrooge-like villain, Mr. Potter. This fine dramatization not only celebrates the faith of the season, it also celebrates the American philosophy of life: hard work, fair play and the love and support of one's family and community will be rewarded. Directed By: Julie Connair Auditions will be held October 16th and 17th from 7-9pm All auditioners are asked to come prepared to cold read from the script.
