Cleveland Public Theatre presents TEST FLIGHT 2025 (Part Two)<https://www.cptonline.org/performances/seasons/2024-2025/category/series/te…> Featuring workshop productions by Northeast Ohio artists as part of CPT's New Play Development Program Through June 7, 2025 Cleveland, OH-Cleveland Public Theatre (CPT) announces part two of its quintessential play development series, Test Flight, back with three more Northeast Ohio playwrights. The upcoming featured cohort of playwrights/projects include the following: May 29-May 31-Grandeza<https://www.cptonline.org/performances/seasons/2024-2025/test-flight-part-2…> Presented by Teatro Público de Cleveland and Cleveland Public Theatre Produced by Alejandro Martinez Written & directed by Ernesto Luna Camargo In Spanish with English supertitles. En español con supertítulos en inglés. Grandeza is a dark comedy exploration of identity, courage, and the weight of cultural expectations. When a teenager comes out of the closet, he uncovers a startling truth: the entire world is trapped in closets of their own, clinging to traditions that have shaped and confined them. Grandeza es una exploración por comedia negra de la identidad, el coraje y el peso de las expectativas culturales. Cuando un adolescente sale del clóset, descubre una verdad sorprendente: el mundo entero está atrapado en sus propios clósets, aferrándose a tradiciones que lo han moldeado y confinado June 5-June 7-Future Never Land<https://www.cptonline.org/performances/seasons/2024-2025/test-flight-part-2…> By Josiah Britt Directed & produced by Jimmie Woody Line Producer: Daniel Christopher McCurry Cleveland history meets Afrofuturism in Future Never Land, a multi-media, rap-classical fusion opera. This historical sci-fi work presents our collective tragedies and triumphs told through the origin story of a poetic and mysterious defender known as the C-Town Crier, as he comes face to face with local heroes, villains, and self-discovery. The entire play is perfectly synced to unedited classical music from famous French compositions, Camille Saint-Saëns's Carnival of the Animals and Claude Debussy's Suite Bergamasque. This play boldly pushes the boundary of lyrical complexity and innovation.

Churchill at War - Quotable Quotes
by Neil Thackaberry 29 May '25

29 May '25

Hi all, We're having fun working on *Churchill at War*. We open June 20. Some of our favorite Churchill quotes (most ended up in the play) 1. A good speech should be like a woman’s skirt. Long enough to cover the subject and short enough to create interest. 2. I am easily satisfied, with the very best. 3. A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on. 4. An appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile, hoping it will eat him last. 5. If you are going through hell, keep going. 6. You can always count on America to do the right thing, after they’ve tried everything else. 7. Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm. 8. I know history will be kind to me because I intend to write it. 9. Russia is a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma. 10. “You have enemies? Good. That means you’ve stood up for something, sometime in your life.” *Churchill at War*, a compelling new 90 minut play written and directed by Neil Thackaberry with Peter Voinovich as Churchill. Performances will be held June 20, 21, 22 and June 27, 28, 29 at Greystone Hall, 103 S High Street, Akron, Ohio. Tickets at actorssummitproductions.com or 234-817-8414. Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays at 7:30 PM and Sundays at 2 PM.

*Western Reserve Playhouse Presents* *The Lamentable Tragedy of* *Titus Andronicus* * by William Shakespeare | Adapted by August Scarpelli * *Thurs–Sat at 8:00PM* *Sunday at 2:00PM* Shakespeare’s most savage tragedy, *Titus Andronicus is a revenge story with no brakes*. When Roman war hero Titus returns home, he expects honor; but gets betrayal in its place. The new emperor turns against him, the Queen of the Goths sets a plan for revenge in motion, and her lover, Aaron, orchestrates a campaign of cruelty that tears Titus’s world apart. Under their schemes, his daughter is violently silenced, his sons are framed and executed, and the line between justice and vengeance disappears. What follows is a spiral of violence where every act of cruelty demands another, and no one makes it out clean. *This will be your last chance to see this beast of a show, which hasn't been seen in NEOhio for over a decade. Don't miss out.* *Tickets On Sale Now! <https://thewrp.ludus.com/index.php?show_id=200470794&ref=neohiopal>* *⚠️ Content Warning: Titus Andronicus contains scenes of graphic violence, sexual assault, mutilation, and themes of racism and revenge.

Houde Summit 2025: 4 days of acting workshops, seminars, and networking
by Houde School Of Acting 29 May '25

29 May '25

Houde School of Acting Summit Instructor Highlight: Jessica Houde-Morris It all started with her. Jessica Houde-Morris is the driving force behind everything we do at the Houde School of Acting. A second-generation Meisner teacher trained at the legendary Playhouse West in Los Angeles, Jessica studied and taught alongside Robert Carnegie, who was trained directly by Sanford Meisner himself. She’s one of the rare few people still carrying that original torch, and doing it with a deep commitment to the technique and to her students. Oh, and speaking of? Her students are WORKING! On major shows (Will Trent, Atlanta, Haunting of Hill House), big-budget films (Black Widow, The Holdovers), and national commercials. But most importantly, they are the heart of an amazing community (and many say it is unlike anything they’ve ever experienced). At this year’s Houde Summit, Jessica will lead a special workshop that brings you into the foundation of her teaching: the Meisner Technique. You’ll work at the current stage you are at, and you’ll get to watch the technique unfold across every level. You will be learning all about listening, building behavior, and discovering what happens when you start responding truthfully under imaginary circumstances. Whether this is your first introduction to Jessica, or you’ve trained with her for years, this workshop is a chance to reconnect with what makes great acting: truth, spontaneity, and the courage to be affected and changed by your partner. Sign up for the Houde Summit 2025 today! We only have a few tickets left https://www.houdeschoolofacting.com/houde-summit-2025
