A CHORUS LINE opens NEXT WEEK at CASSIDY!
by The Cassidy Theatre 30 Mar '18

30 Mar '18

ONE! Singular sensation, every little step she takes! A Chorus Line opens at Cassidy Theatre April 6th, running weekends till the 22nd! Directed and Choreographed by Kristin Netzband Music Direction by Mike Caraffi A Chorus Line is a celebration of those unsung heroes of the American Musical Theatre: the chorus dancers– those valiant, over dedicated, underpaid, highly trained performers who back up the star or stars and often make them look even more talented than they are. It is also a celebration of the American Musical itself. A Chorus Line is also about competition, and competition might easily be the common denominator that grabs the audience and holds it by the collective heartstring until the final, ultimate choices are made. For everyone, at one time or another, puts his life on the line. We all compete, no matter what business we’re in, for promotion, for attention, for approval and for love. Specifically, A Chorus Line takes the audience through the final grueling audition run by the director, Zach, for a new Broadway musical. Tickets Are On Sale Online, by Phone, or in Person! Online: https://cassidytheatre.ticketleap.com/achorusline/ By Phone: 440 - 842 - 4600 Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday 9:30 a.m. - 3:30 p.m. In Person: 6200 Pearl Road, Parma Heights, OH 44130 Get your tickets now!

Audiences and critics alike are praising "It Shoulda Been You" at Weathervane Playhouse!
by Fred Gloor 29 Mar '18

29 Mar '18

>From our audiences: "Hysterical--See and enjoy!" "Very funny...Full of great music, dance and surprises!" "What a terrific performance! We'll be back." "What a wonderful production! Don't miss a good show!" "The whole cast was amazing. We really enjoyed the show! We also really thought it was an amazing set." >From the West Side Leader: "The cast is excellent" "Costume designer Jasen Smith did an excellent job" "the funny business, the physical humor and the choreography are controlled by director and choreographer Joshua Larkin. He manages the nonsense with a firm hand." http://www.akron.com/akron-ohio-entertainment-news.asp...<http://www.akron.com/akron-ohio-entertainment-news.asp?aID=37263> "You poor things. This is a wedding. Your problems have just begun." AKRON - Weathervane is set to bring you blushing brides, nervous grooms, overbearing moms, unexpected guests, and plenty of crazy twists and turns as we present the delightful musical, It Shoulda Been You, in the Founders Theater March 22 through April 15, 2018. The bride is Jewish. The groom is Catholic. Her mother is a force of nature. His mother is a tempest in a cocktail shaker, and, when the bride's ex-boyfriend crashes the party, the perfect wedding starts to unravel faster than you can whistle "Pachelbel's Canon!" Show times for this charming, funny, and original new musical are 7:30 p.m. Thursdays through Saturdays and 2:30 p.m. on Sundays. There is no show on April 1 (Easter Sunday). Tickets are $26, with special pricing for seniors, students, and groups of 12 or more, and can be obtained by calling the box office at 330-836-2626 or going to www.weathervaneplayhouse.com<http://www.weathervaneplayhouse.com> Weathervane's production of It Shoulda Been You is made possible by a generous donation from the Gay Community Endowment Fund of the Akron Community Foundation. It Shoulda Been You is directed by Weathervane Playhouse's Business Manager, Joshua Larkin, who says of the show: "This show, which enjoyed its Broadway run in 2015 with a star-studded cast, including Akron's own Lisa Howard, presents a good old-fashioned wedding farce, complete with all the trimmings: the cold-footed bride, the over-bearing mother, the 'surprise' appearance of an old flame. Neuroses and mischief give birth to panic and discord, and a nuptial once thought to be fully on track now seems destined for disaster of the highest order. This age-old tale could rest on its laurels, relying on over-the-top shenanigans to keep its audience in stitches. Yet, at the heart of this show are a cast of characters that, for all their wacky eccentricities, share a common thread. They are, in fact, real people. Not so much in the sense that the events before you are based on a true story, but more so that they are based on the truth that so many of us experience every day of our lives." The April 5 and 6 shows will feature a post-show talk-back with Carla Rose Fisher, who wrote the lyrics to Perfect for It Shoulda Been You. Ms. Fisher will also be teaching a master class on "Interpreting a Lyric" at Weathervane on April 7 at 4 p.m. For more information on this workshop, contact Lauren Sprowls, Weathervane's Education Director, at 330-836-2626 XT 35. AUDIENCE ADVISORY: The show contains adult themes and language and is therefore not suitable for young children It Shoulda Been You is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI). All authorized performance materials are also supplied by MTI. The videotaping or other video or audio recording of this production is strictly prohibited.

Tri-C Metro Theatre Department Announces the Opening of With Faith and Fury
by Joshua Caraballo 29 Mar '18

29 Mar '18

Tri-C Metro Campus Theatre Arts DepartmentWith Faith and FuryShowtimes April 6, 7, 11, 12, 13, 14 @ 7:30pmApril 12 @ 10:30amApril 8 @ 2pm Based on the Novel by Delos McKownAdapted to the Stage and Directed by Frederick Perry With Faith and Fury introduces us to Adrian DeWulf, a charismatic philosophy professor, who has renounced all gods and makes a practice of publicly exposing the fraudulent nature of all religions. He meets his match with a group of individual religious fanatics; a masterful evangelist, a college football athlete, and other college professors. The battle is joined in the rarefied atmosphere of a peaceful, rural university; but the greater danger is to Adrian, for he falls in love with one of his students, Claire Sumner, and their love threatens to crack open a world of religious hypocrisy. The gloves come off to reveal the sometimes-desperate struggle between the compulsion toward divine authority and the freedom of the human spirit, between love of God and human passion. Students and Community welcome!
