FINAL WEEKEND! DON'T MISS BECK CENTER'S RIVETING BENT...
by Larry Goodpaster 27 Jun '18

27 Jun '18

BENT by Martin Sherman Beck Center for the Arts Directed by Matthew Wright FINAL WEEKEND! Don't miss out on Beck Center's powerful and provocative production! Here what our audience has to say... ...There were 7 in my group; we all left speechless. We were touched, sad, grateful, jubilant, gutted, angry, and very VERY moved. Well done!! ...Thank you for putting on productions like BENT. It is artistically wonderful and socially so relevant. ...Bent was an excellent show that just sent us over to become subscribers for next season. Thank you for entertaining us. ...Chilling and horrifying story. Fine acting that had a strong emotional impact on me throughout the performance...Perfect setting brought the audience face to face with the plight of the characters. ...The show was absolutely breath-taking. I will be back very soon! ...A very good play about a horrible subject, often difficult to watch, but which, I suspect, I will remember long after I have forgotten dozens of more enjoyable/entertaining plays I've seen at various local theaters over the years. ..."Bent" is sadly relevant today, and chilling in portraying man's capacity to destroy the humanity of others. Thank you for choosing it as one of you productions. ..."Bent" was incredible! So powerful. The acting was unbelievable and I wanted to offer the actors thunderous applause and a standing ovation, but I expect like most everyone else, I was emotionally depleted and very very sad over the subject matter. On behalf of Beck Center for the Arts, Scott Spence, and Matthew Wright, we hope to see you this weekend at BENT!

by Kelly Miloro 27 Jun '18

27 Jun '18

Auditions The Game's Afoot Geauga Lyric Theater Directed by Patricia Osredkar July 9 and 10 6:00-9pm Auditions at Geauga Lyric Arts Center, 106 Water St Please come prepared to read from the script. Auditioners will need to have a complete list of all conflicts during the rehearsal process from mid August to September 21 (opening night). Show dates: Friday-Sundays September 21-October 7 The Game's Afoot Ken Ludwig's Holmes for the Holidays is a wickedly funny farce, complete with ghosts, secret panels, and a Christmas nor'easter thrown in for atmosphere...add murder and indeed! The Game's Afoot! It is December 1936, and Broadway star William Gillette, admired the world over for his leading role in the play Sherlock Holmes, has invited his fellow cast members to his Connecticut castle for a weekend of revelry. But when one of the guests is stabbed to death, the festivities in this isolated house of tricks and mirrors quickly turn dangerous. It is then up to Gillette himself, as he assumes the persona of his beloved Holmes, to track down the killer before the next victim appears. The danger and hilarity are non-stop in this glittering whodunit set during the Christmas holidays. William Gillette, 30s-60: Seasoned lead actor, has made a career of playing Sherlock Holmes and lives the role in the palatial mansion he built. He adheres t the codes of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Agatha Christie. Martha Gillette: William's mother, who also lives in the mansion. She is a grand lady of the stage in her own right, and the evening's hostess. Felix Geisel, 40s: Dear friend and co-actor in Gillette's production company. A bit of a cad, but what actor isn't? Madge Geisel, 40s: Felix's wife. Character actress in the group: witty, sophisticated, and bigger than life Simon Bright, 30s: Dashing young actor. Quite the charmer, and newly married to Aggie Inspector Goring, 30s: Local police officer called in to investigate the murder. She is a tough cookie and not fooled by all the theatrics. Daria Chase: A cross between Cruella DeVille and Ricky Lake. Theater critic who came up the hard way. Soap opera siren who discards men like used tissue. Ageless. Aggie Wheeler 20s-30 bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, Aggie is the ingénue of the company. Good-natured and kind, Aggie has had tragedy in her past, though she seems to have dealt with it well, and even moved on. -- Kelly Miloro GLTG Administrative Asst. 440-285-7701 officemgr(a)geaugatheater.org

French teens need World Exchange homes July 31 - August 19
by Mary L. Davis 27 Jun '18

27 Jun '18

Copied from a post on the Lakewood Community Facebook page: “They’re coming to America” So sang Neil Diamond evoking the sheer joy of arriving in a vibrant country, a dream destination full of possibility and hope… Today, on the European side of the Atlantic Ocean there is waning interest among tourists, exchange students and university applicants in coming to the USA. Impressions of life in America aren’t as rosy as they once were. And yet there are still many excited French teenagers who signed up eagerly this spring, thrilled to come here to experience the American way of family life by participating in World Exchange’s “Invite the World Home” 20-day program, July 31st – August 19th. On this side of the Atlantic, finding those special families for whom hosting would be an adventure has never been easy but this year it’s particularly challenging. World Exchange local program director, Jill Werling Quinn of Avon Lake Ohio, has been reaching out since March but to date 11 of her 16 French students have homes in the Cleveland to go to. Jill will meet with each family to provide orientation and support. She will organize two day-trips and a party/picnic. The rest of the time host families will be free to make their own plans to take their student to the beach, to camp, to work, to the supermarket – to participate in whatever their family normally does during July. The French teens look forward to practicing their English, trying their hand at baseball, eating barbecued hot dogs and hamburgers, exploring, playing video and board games. Here are a few in need of host families Louis is 17 and comes from a a daredevil family who enjoys kite surfing, motor bikes water sports and fishing. Julien D is 16 and is a good student who enjoys school and video games but also like to surf and go to the beach. Malo is 13 and LOVES everything american and has been learning about it and practicing his English skill for many years. And love American he loves basketball Kilian is 15 and likes animals especially dogs and cats. He loves outdoor activities like surfing and swimming plus fishing and enjoys cars Arnaud is 17 and enjoys basketball, food, traveling and American movies Profiles of the students, as well as detailed letters of introduction can be seen in full after contacting Jill Werling Quinn at Georgee182(a)gmail.com or 440-653-1564.

Casting DAVE for The Full Monty
by Jon Tisevich 27 Jun '18

27 Jun '18

The Full Monty; the role of DAVE Non-Union; paid role The Players Guild Theatre Producing Artistic Director: Joshua Erichsen Now casting for the role of DAVE in The Full Monty, by Tony Award winners David Yazbek and Terrence McNally. Dave Bukatinsky - (Male, Any Ethnicity, 30s-40s) Definitive sidekick. Very much a man’s man, but more of a follower than a leader. Overweight, self-conscious about his size. Desperate for direction and purpose. His marriage is on the rocks and his friendships are strained. Ultimately overcomes his struggles of self worth and identity. Strong actor/singer. Bari-Tenor. Non-union, paid role. Based on the 1997 film, The Full Monty centers around 6 men struggling to find themselves after a steel mill shuts down leaving them unemployed and searching for their identity. In the process, these 6 men triumph over their failures, their fears, AND their clothes. Monty shines a spotlight on the internal battles of body issues, self worth, and identity that men, YES MEN, and women struggle with daily. This show pushes each of us to “go all the way” (the Full Monty) in our personal lives, our relationships, and in our inhibitions and fears. The Full Monty is scheduled to open August 10th and will run through September 2nd. Performances on Fridays and Saturdays at 8p, Sundays at 2p. Rehearsals begin July 1st. Those interested, please contact the Director at jonathantisevich(a)gmail.com <mailto:jonathantisevich@gmail.com>. Please submit a headshot and resume, if available. The Players Guild Theatre is located at 1001 Market Ave N, Canton, OH 44702. www.playersguildtheatre.com
