by Mark Little 09 Nov '17

09 Nov '17

One of Dover Players local playwrights, Gregory J. Lavelle, created a Christian mini-musical based on his original full length musical, A Fresh Start at the Sunrise Laundromat, performed by Dover Players in the summer of 2012. If you could post the following press release in NEohioPAL, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you. Mini-Musical - A Clean Start at the Sunrise Laundromat Instead of a traditional service. which normally includes a scripture and sermon, on November 12th, the North Olmsted United Methodist Church (NOUMC) at 4600 Dover Center Road will present a service which centers around an original Christian mini-musical, "A Clean Start at the Sunrise Laundromat." The 10:30 a.m. service will be followed by a free pot-luck dinner open to the public. At North Olmsted UMC, we feed body and soul in a variety of ways, both traditional and otherwise. All are welcome for this special event and at all the "happenings" at NOUMC. For more information, call (440) 779-6634. --- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG. http://www.avg.com

LAND OF CLEVE REVIEW: The Brecksville Theatre Boldly Brings *'Chicago'* to Cleveland For Its Premier Production For this current revival, Kristin Netzband provides dynamic direction and crisp choreography, which helps scenes and songs blend perfectly. The marvelous musical direction by Heidi Herczeg (along with her accomplished orchestra comprised of Clare Panek, Allie Denham, Gary McPhearson, Mike Marks, Devon Tingley, JP George, and Taylor Pohlig) really showcases the songs. Together, Netzband and Herczeg keep the all the triple-threats on stage always on their toes and on the right note. Speaking of the amazing actor-singer-dancers in the cast, it is a pleasure to see such a talented ensemble tackling this timeless-but-tricky material. Led by the brassy, sassy duo of Kim Eskut and Trinidad Snider, the company also includes Neil Scheibelhut, Brian Pichola, Caron Wykle, Joel Fenstermaker, Laura Henri, David Turner, Melanie Leibold, Annie Unk, Sarah Menser, Jen Justice, Jeremy Jenkins, Bradley Kohl, Anthony Salatino, Jacob Schafer, Paul Hoffman, Brenden Junge, Megan Polk, and Lindsey Wilkins... *READ THE FULL REVIEW AT:* *https://inthelandofcleve.blogspot.com/2017/11/cleve-review-brecksville-theatre-boldly.html <https://inthelandofcleve.blogspot.com/2017/11/cleve-review-brecksville-thea…>*

4of the he final 5 performances of "Talking With..." at Weathervane Playhouse are Sold Out!
by Fred Gloor 09 Nov '17

09 Nov '17

Your only chance to see the show now is Saturday afternoon at 3:30 p.m. Weathervane Playhouse to present Jane Martin's Talking With... 11 stories from 11 women set to grace the Dietz Stage AKRON - Weathervane Playhouse presents the first Dietz Theater production of the season as Jane Martin's iconic monologue play Talking With... is set to run November 2 - 12 in Weathervane's intimate Dietz Theater. Show times are Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays at 7:30 p.m. and Sundays at 2:30 p.m. There is also a single Saturday matinee performance on November 11 at 3:30 p.m. Tickets are $10- $22 and are available by calling the box office at 330-836-2626 or by going to www.weathervanplayhouse.com<http://www.weathervanplayhouse.com> Talking With... is a play made up of monologues, each eight to ten minutes long and featuring a different female character who talks about their life and personal ordeals. These idiosyncratic characters amuse, move, frighten, and speak from the depths of their souls. They include a baton twirler, a fundamentalist snake handler, an ex-rodeo rider and an actress willing to go to any length to get a job. Many of the monologues are touching, some are intensely emotional, and a couple are even comical. All of the pieces, however, show how the varied experiences and events in one's life affect who we are as humans. These extraordinary monologues received a standing ovation when they premiered at The Actors Theatre of Louisville and won the 1982 American Theatre Critics Association Award for Best Regional Play. Jane Martin, a Kentuckian, first came to national attention for Talking With..., a collection of monologues premiering in Actors Theatre of Louisville's 1982 Humana Festival of New American Plays. Since its New York premiere at Manhattan Theatre Club in 1982, Talking With... has been performed around the world, winning the Best Foreign Play of the Year Award in Germany from Theatre Heute magazine. Her other work includes: Vital Signs, Cementville, Keely And Du (Pulitzer Prize nominee; 1994 American Theatre Critics Association Best New Play Award), Jack And Jill (1997 American Theatre Critics Association Best New Play Award), Anton In Show Business (2001 American Theatre Critics/Steinberg Principal Citation), Mr. Bundy, and Flaming Guns Of The Purple Sage. Good Boys premiered at Guthrie Theater in 2002. Flags was co-produced by Guthrie Theater and Mixed Blood in 2004, and her most recent work, Sez She, premiered at Illusion Theatre in April 2006. Weathervane's production of Talking With... includes performances by a kitten named Pongo courtesy of Paws and Prayers and a ball python named Bedford courtesy of The Herps Alive Foundation. Both animals will be up for adoption during the run of the show. Weathervane's production of Talking With... is sponsored by a generous donation from Margaret J. Dietz and produced in partnership with The Big Love Network. Audience Advisory: Due to adult language and themes, this play is not suitable for children.
