Prop Designer for Upcoming Production
by Playwrights Local 13 Apr '18

13 Apr '18

PLAYWRIGHTS LOCAL SEEKS A PROP DESIGNER FOR UPCOMING PRODUCTION Playwrights Local (http://playwrightslocal.org/) seeks a Prop Designer to work with director Jimmie Woody on the premiere production of a new play. ‘The Panther Dancer’ by Logan Cutler Smith runs for three weeks in Cleveland in May 2018. Rehearsals are currently underway and will continue until May 10. Info on the production is available at http://www.playwrightslocal.org/the-panther-dancer/. This is a paying position on the non-Equity scale. Reply with a cover email and resume to playwrightslocal(a)gmail.com. About the Director Jimmie Woody’s recent credits include ‘To Kill A Mockingbird’, ‘Clybourne Park’, and ‘Raisin in the Sun’ (Weathervane Playhouse); ‘The America Play’ (University of Akron); and ‘Glass Menagerie’, ‘For Colored Girls…’, and ‘Jitney’ at Cuyahoga Community College. Find his full bio at http://www.dobama.org/artists/2017/7/18/jimmie-woody. About the Play >> ‘The Panther Dancer >> By Logan Cutler Smith >> Directed by Jimmie Woody >> Performances May 11 - 26, 2018 >> ‘The Panther Dancer’ is an innovative new play that digs deep beneath the iconicity of a childlike American star. A series of inventive, offbeat-but-affecting vignettes, this knowing satire explores how a monolithic entertainer was created by our culture and, in turn, how he redirected that culture towards his own conflicting ends. ‘The Panther Dancer’ follows a young wonder as he strives to become, in his own person, the very greatest show on earth. Tracing the arc of his campaign, the play becomes a playful synthesis of biography and tabloid journalism–a sidelong glance at a meteoric rise and a catastrophic fall. Come along for this portrait of a timeless pop archetype rendered flatly, mattely, and in fast-forward. Find more info on the play at http://www.playwrightslocal.org/the-panther-dancer/. About the Company Playwrights Local is a theater company based in Cleveland. Billed as a playwrights’ center, the organization’s goal is to provide a home for dramatic writing in Northeast Ohio. They offer classes and workshops, produce original plays, provide networking opportunities, and engage the community through outreach projects.

In this asylum, the Marquis de Sade (played by Associate Professor of Theatre Dr. Michael Mauldin) directs the inmates in his play about the assassination of the revolutionary leader Jean-Paul Marat, opening up the exploration of political change, the use of violence to bring about that change, and the nature of life and death. "It is a play dense with experiences, it is total theatre, engaging our senses and our intellect, funny, terrifying, sexual, savage, and exhilarating." - Director Allan Byrne The CSU Cast Features Cheyenne Bizon, Anthony Brown, Raven Bryant, Allan Byrne, Rebekah Ferro, Jordan Ficyk, Jacob Gaspar, Benjamin Gillooly, Casie Griffis, David Holmberg, Frank Ivancic, Alyssa Jacobs, Christina Katsaras, Kaitlyn Levigne, Steven Livingston, Matthew Logan, Evan Martin, Dr. Michael Mauldin, Timothy Parks, Sullivan Ratcliff, Mia Snyder, Lauren Stepanski, Suzanna Szabados, Cody Thomas, and Eric Wloszek. --------------------------------------------------

Berko review: THE HUMANS @ Connor Palace (Key Bank Series)
by Roy Berko 12 Apr '18

12 Apr '18

*•••••••••••••••••••••••••••* *CAPSULE JUDGEMENT: Key Bank subscribers may be thrown off by the fact that “The Humans’” is not a musical. But it, like last season’s “The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night,” and “War Horse,” the marvelous hit of several seasons ago, is a straight play that has special appeal. Unlike those shows, it lacks the outstanding technical and special effects to grab and hold attention. What it does have is a finely-written story that gets an outstanding performance that is well-worth experiencing.* *To read the entire review go to: **www.royberko.info* <http://www.royberko.info>* to read the capsule judgements of the other Cleveland reviewers go to: **www.clevelandtheaterreviews.com* <http://www.clevelandtheaterreviews.com> *••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••*
