by Kimberly Koljat 23 Jun '25

23 Jun '25

Hi everyone, I have two upcoming drama therapy events this summer in case anyone is looking for some outlets. One is a one-off 90 minute stress relief workshop July 12th using drama therapy, and the other is a six week closed group series for creativity and impasse. If you are interested in registering, feel free to email me at kimberly(a)kimberlykoljatlmft.com <mailto:kimberly@kimberlykoljatlmft.com>. I’m hoping for at least four participants for each to happen. The drama therapy method to be used is Developmental Transformations. Here are the group descriptions: Embodied Stress Relief Workshop, July 12, 2025 1:30pm-3:00pm This introductory to embodied drama therapy workshop is designed to provide a space for those looking for an embodied, playful approach to themselves and relationship. Focus of this 1.5 hour group will be on a developmental process for participants to connect with themselves and connect with others to ease stress outside of the group space. This group is a single offering, and does not require long term commitment. Cost of the workshop is $40 per participant. Pre-registration is required to participate. Creativity and Impasse Closed Group Series, July 19, 2025- August 30, 2025 (with one week off on August 9), 1:30-2:30pm Do you have a creative project that is stuck in an in between place? Join me for an ongoing workshop series on the creative process and impasse. This will be a weekly closed workshop starting sometime midsummer held either Saturday afternoons or Thursday nights. This series is designed to help creatives get in touch with themselves, their creative self, and others to unlock stuck places and help them get into motion. This workshop series will utilize creative arts therapies, including embodied drama therapy, writing, and visual arts. You do not have to be a “professional artist” in any medium to participate. 6 weeks $180 total, $30 per week, can be paid weekly or in full prior to start of series. Workshop to be held in office in Cleveland, OH. Kimberly Koljat, ILMFT-S, LMFT, RPT-S, RDT kimberlykoljatlmft(a)gmail.com www.kimberlykoljatlmft.com

Auditions for The Mousetrap at Clague Playhouse: 6/25 & 6/26
by Clague Playhouse 21 Jun '25

21 Jun '25

*Upcoming Auditions for the Opening Show of Clague Playhouse's 98th Season!* *The Mousetrap *by Agatha ChristieAudition Dates: Wednesday, June 25th and Thursday, June 26th at the Playhouse from 7:00-9:00 pm Directed by Ron Newell *Show Dates:* 9/12/2025 - 10/5/2025, Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays at 7:30PM and Sundays at 2PM Please bring resume and headshot, if available. If you don't have a headshot, Clague will shoot one at auditions. No appointment is necessary. You can fill out audition form onsite or from website. Please print and bring with you. It will be cold readings from script. The story: After a local woman is murdered, the guests and staff at Monkswell Manor find themselves stranded during a snowstorm. It soon becomes clear that the killer is among them, and the seven strangers grow increasingly suspicious of one another. A police detective, arriving on skis, interrogates the suspects: the newlyweds running the house; a spinster with a curious background; an architect who seems better equipped to be a chef; a retired Army major; a strange little man who claims his car has overturned in a drift; and a jurist who makes life miserable for everyone. When a second murder takes place, tensions and fears escalate. This record-breaking murder mystery features a brilliant surprise finish from Dame Agatha Christie, the foremost mystery writer of her time. Characters: MOLLIE RALSTON – A newlywed who has inherited Monkswell Manor and has opened it as a guesthouse with her husband. A hospitable and warm, if slightlynaive, hostess and cook. GILES RALSTON – The more cautious proprietor of Monkswell Manor. Supportive of his wife, but less thrilled to run a guesthouse. A traditional gentleman who’s quick to judge his guests. CHRISTOPHER WREN – A young architect with a flamboyant and often inappropriate sense of humor. His energetic conversation can appear both lighthearted and sinister. MRS. BOYLE – A retiree whose acerbic tone makes her a challenging guest. Strong-willed and uncompromising, with high expectations. Pleased only when expressing disappointment. MAJOR METCALF – An affable guest who is willing to help his hosts cope with the consequences of the snowstorm. Retired from the army, steady and calm in the face of conflict. MISS CASEWELL – A modern and somewhat aloof young woman travelling on business. Unwilling to discuss private matters and disinterested in the opinion of her fellow guests. MR. PARAVICINI – A roguish gentleman who is not forthcoming about his reasons for being there. Delights in the guests’ uncertainty and pays particular attention to his hostess, Mollie. DETECTIVE SGT. TROTTER – The young detective assigned to reach Monkswell Manor and report on the situation as it unfolds. Determined and authoritative in his pursuit of the truth. - - - - - - - - - Clague Playhouse, Inc. 1371 Clague Road Westlake, OH 44145 info(a)ClaguePlayhouse.org <info(a)clagueplayhouse.org> 440-331-0403 www.ClaguePlayhouse.org <http://www.clagueplayhouse.org/> *Follow us on **Facebook* <https://www.facebook.com/ClaguePlayhouse/>*!*
