"Dividing The Estate", a Comedy at Broadview Heights Spotlights Theater
by Annette Phelps 22 Apr '18

22 Apr '18

BROADVIEW HEIGHTS SPOTLIGHTS PRESENTS THE COMEDY “DIVIDING THE ESTATE” Horton Foote’s play Dividing the Estate will be performed at Broadview Heights Spotlights this spring, running April 27 to May 12. Dividing the Estate is the story of the Gordon clan, a Texas family who has been hard hit by the precipitous drop in oil prices in 1987. Family matriarch Stella rules over the family, but she is 85 years old, and her family smells their inheritance coming. Her younger daughter, Mary Jo, comes to visit for the day along with her husband, and their two daughters, prompting a family get-together. Mary Jo is deeply in debt and wants to divide the estate before her mother dies. Various members of the family, including the servants, take sides in the debate and wonder how much, if anything, there actually is to inherit. The family bickers as only a Southern family can, mentioning every slight and insult that has occurred over the past 80 years. The Spotlights’ production is directed by Brenton Cochran, and features a cast including Clorise Busch, Tara Corkery, Brett Heidinger, Dave Hopkins, Hayley Johnson, Stephanie Malfara (also serving as the production’s Stage Manager), Cheryl McConnell, Sean McCormick, Katie Morilak, Jaclyn Phelps, Sarah Price, Austin Sasser, and Kerstin Vaughn. Other production staff members include Adam Bowers and Jean Brennan (Co-Producers), Katie Atkinson and Jill Kenderes (Costumers) and Tim Anderson (Technical Director & Set Designer). Performance dates are April 27 through May 12. Performances will occur on Friday and Saturday evenings at 7:30 p.m., and there will be a Sunday matinee on Sunday, May 6 at 3:00 p.m. All performances are held at the Broadview Heights Cultural Arts Building, 9543 Broadview Road in Broadview Heights (next to the police station). Tickets are $14 for adults and $13 for seniors and students. Tickets may be purchased on-line at www.broadview-heights-spotlights.org. Dividing the Estate is presented in a special arrangement with the Dramatists Play Service.

*Auditions* Coach House Theatre in Akron-Moonlight and Magnolias
by Cassandra Capocci 21 Apr '18

21 Apr '18

Coach House Theatre in Akron will hold auditions for its 90th Season finale Moonlight and Magnolias by Ron Hutchinson on Sunday April 22 @ 6:00 pm and Monday April 23 @7:00. No appointment necessary. Please arrive at start of auditions (if you need to arrange a time contact ccapocci(a)akronwomanscityclub.com) Rehearsals begin April 25th Performances-May 24-June 10 (Thurs-Sat 7:30 and Sun 2:00) Please have ALL conflict dates at auditions. Cast Breakdown: David O. Selznick- producer of Gone with the Wind Ben Hecht- famed Hollywood screenwriter Victor Fleming- director of The Wizard of OZ Miss Poppenguhl- secretary to David O. Selznick Non traditional casting and age flexibility (over age 21) are being considered at this time. All are encouraged to audition. Synopsis: Legendary Hollywood producer David O. Selznick has a problem. He has just fired the director of Gone with the Wind and the script is on its umpteenth version. He desperately needs a new director and writer—immediately. However, the writer he wants, Ben Hecht, has never read the novel. Selznick gives him a brief synopsis of the story and offers him $15,000 to write a revised screenplay by the end of the week. Selznick also calls in director Victor Fleming, pulling him from finishing The Wizard of Oz to be the new director of Gone with the Wind. Hecht is still not sold on the success of the storyline, but Selznick believes in this movie, so much so that he locks the three of them in his office for five days, with bananas and peanuts as their only food, to pull together a new script. Work begins. Selznick and Fleming attempt to act out all the characters in the novel while Hecht types. Early in the week, Hecht and Fleming constantly clash. By day three, fatigue, hunger and sarcasm prevail. Tempers flare. There’s even an attempt to escape from the office—if only for just a shower and a meal. By the end of the week, Selznick asks, “Is there anything wrong with getting the job done, no matter what it takes?” Completing this job may take everything these men have to give! Take a fun, farcical look at the behind-the-scene birth of one of the most beloved films of all time.
