BUY ONE GET ONE FREE OPENING WEEKEND OF ORPHANS AT TWIN MASKS PERFORMING ARTS CENTER
by Claudia Lillibridge 16 Jul '18

16 Jul '18

In honor of the annual Twins' Day Festival, which happens to fall during our opening weekend of Orphans, Twin Masks Performing Arts Center is offering a two for one ticket deal for our Friday, August 3 and Saturday, August 4 performances. PLEASE NOTE THE PRODUCTION CONTAINS STRONG ADULT LANGUAGE AND SITUATIONS AND IS NOT RECOMMENDED FOR PERSONS UNDER THE AGE OF 18 WITOUT PARENTAL CONSENT/ ACCOMPANIMENT. Enter coupon code *twinsday* when purchasing tickets on our website, www.twinmasks.org. Follow link under ABOUT and PURCHASE TICKETS FOR SEASON ONE. On the right side, enter the code *twinsday* and APPLY. Then select seats as desired for Orphans. Again, this code is only good on Friday, August 3 and Saturday, August 4. Performances begin promptly at 8pm. Twin Masks Performing Arts Center is located at 9076 Church Street, Suite 2 and 3, in Twinsburg. THE STORY: Two grown orphan brothers live in an old dilapidated row house in North Philadelphia—deserted in childhood by an unfaithful father and by the death of their mother. Older brother Treat, brutal and violent, provides for his younger brother Phillip by being a petty thief—interpreting the role of father. With the love and protectiveness of an older brother and an orphan's fear of abandonment, Treat takes away Phillip's chances to grow up, depriving him of knowledge and forcing him to live in a world of illiteracy and innocence: relegating him to their lost childhood. As Treat is out stealing to put food on the table, Phillip never leaves the house, thinking he will die from something outside because of a near deadly allergic reaction he had as a child. Haunted by the death of their mother, he spends his time lying in her closet filled with unworn clothes. Curious about the world, he secretly attempts to understand things by watching reruns of The Price Is Right and underlining words in newspapers and old books he finds lying around. Treat kidnaps and ties up a Chicago gangster named Harold. Harold, an orphan himself, with the prowess of an escape artist, loosens the ties that bind him, turns the tables around, and with gun in hand, puts himself into the role of teacher, healer and surrogate parent. Orphans is directed by Kate Tonti and cast includes Greg Hinkle, Vincent Sarowatz and Derek Amato. Performances are Friday and Saturday evenings at 8pm; August 3, 4, 10, 11, 17 and 18. Twin Masks Performing Arts Center is a registered 501c3 non-profit entity and proud member of the Twinsburg Chamber of Commerce, Twinsburg Historical Society and OCTA. For any further questions, please contact us at 330-888-3211 or via email at claudia(a)twinmasks.org. We look forward to seeing you!!

LAND OF CLEVE REVIEW: School Musical 'bare: a pop opera' Offers Emotional Lessons at Western Reserve Playhouse
by Cleve Land 16 Jul '18

16 Jul '18

LAND OF CLEVE REVIEW: School Musical *'bare: a pop opera' * Offers Emotional Lessons at *Western Reserve Playhouse * Playgoers of all religions will relate to the kids attending this Catholic boarding school. Peter loves Jason and Jason loves him back but must mask his feelings while fending off the advances of Ivy. Meanwhile, Jason's sister Nadia is having an identity crisis of her own. Between hallway hookups and midnight raves, the hormonal quartet and their classmates are faced with the prerequisite fear, frustration, and guilt that comes with a parochial school education. Brian Westerley directs the show with a balanced blend of sensitivity and snark. He is aided by Dave Stebbins raw and rhythmic musical direction and Kristy Cruz's powerfully provocative choreography. Westerley's cast is convincing and confident beyond their youthful years. As the central couple, Nick Urbanic and Nick Sobotka earn the audience's empathy while enduring a full curriculum of emotions. Laney Davis and Korinne Courtwright earn high grades as well with their honest and heartbreaking portrayals of Ivy and Nadia, respectively. The effective and affecting ensemble includes Dominic Sonby, Daniel Hunsicker, Kayla Lehman, Khylee Kridler, Brooke Lytton, Austin Hopson, Ben Arrington, Stephanie Malfara, and David Rusnak. Moving to the head of the class is Dayshawnda Ash, who is literally a holy terror as Sister Chantelle. Her high-spirited musical numbers are hilarious highlights of the evening...

Other roles played by Chip: Jesus Christ Male, Tenor, Deity invoked by a speller in need. *Logainne “Schwartzy” Schwartzandgrunenierre* Female, Mezzo-Soprano, A3 - F5, Logainne is the youngest and most politically aware speller, often making comments about current political figures. She is driven by internal and external pressure, but above all by a desire to win to make her two fathers proud. She is somewhat of a neat freak, speaks with a lisp signs as she spells and will be back next year. Looking for an actress that has ASL knowledge and can sign/finger spell. *Leaf Coneybear* Male, Tenor, A3 - A5, The second runner-up in his district, Leaf gets into the competition on a lark and finds everything about the bee incredibly amusing. He is home-schooled and comes from a large family of former hippies. He has severe Attention Deficit Disorder and spells words correctly while in a trance. Other roles played by Leaf: Carl Dad Male, Tenor, Schwarzy's main trainer, the more intense and competitive of Schwarzy's fathers. *William Barfee* Male, Tenor, E4 - B5, Putnam County Spelling Bee finalist last year, he was eliminated because of an allergic reaction to peanuts and is back for vindication. His famous "Magic Foot" method of spelling has boosted him to spelling glory, even though he only has one working nostril and a touchy, bullying personality.

She speaks six languages, is a member of all-American hockey, a championship rugby player, plays Chopin and Mozart on multiple instruments, sleeps only three hours a night, hides in the bathroom cabinet, and is getting very tired of always winning.

Her mother is in an ashram in India, and her father is working late, as usual, but he is trying to come sometime during the bee. Having found comfort in its words and vastness, Olive made friends with her dictionary at a very young age, helping her to make it to the competition. She starts enormously shy, and shyly blossoms. *Rona Lisa Peretti* Female, Mezzo-Soprano, B3 - F5, The number-one realtor in Putnam County, a former Putnam County Spelling Bee Champion herself, and the returning moderator. She is a sweet woman who loves children, but she can be very stern when it comes to dealing with Vice Principal Panch and his feelings for her. Her interest in the competition is unflagging and drives it forward.Other roles played by Rona: Olive's Mom Female, Mezzo-Soprano, A fantasy version of Olive's mom at her Ashram in India. *Vice Principal Douglas Panch* Male, Spoken, The Vice Principle. Frustrated with his life, he finds the drive of the young spellers alien to him. After five years' absence from the Bee, Panch returns as judge. There was an "incident" at the Twentieth Annual Bee, but he claims to be in "a better place" now, thanks to a high-fiber diet and Jungian analysis. He is infatuated with Rona Lisa Peretti, but she does not return his affections. *Mitch Mahoney* Male, Tenor, G3 - B5. The Official Comfort Counselor. An ex-convict, Mitch is performing his community service with the Bee, and hands out juice boxes to losing students. He has no idea how to offer comfort but does find himself wishing he could find a way to make the kids feel better. Other roles played by Mitch: Dan Dad Male, Tenor, the more laid back and ineffectual of Schwarzy's fathers. Olive's Dad Male, Tenor, A fantasy version of Olive's dad coming to the bee from work. *Leaf's Mom, Dad, And Siblings* All more academically gifted than Leaf, they are even more surprised than he is by his success.
