Only a few days till Auditions for Nuncrackers @ Cassidy!
by The Cassidy Theatre via NEohioPAL 28 Sep '17

28 Sep '17

Cassidy Theatre is seeking men, women, and children for its holiday musical Nuncrackers, The Nunsense Christmas Musical! Direction & Musical Direction by Mike Caraffi Choreography by Melanie Leibold *Audition Dates:* October 1, 7:00 p.m. - 10:00 p.m. October 3, 7:00 p.m. - 10:00 p.m. Callbacks (by invitation of the director, as needed): October 4, 7:00 p.m. - 10:00 p.m. *What to Bring* A current and up-to-date Headshot and Resume, a vocal selection of your choosing, and comfortable clothes for movement/dance. An accompanist will be provided for the auditions. No monologues necessary - reading from the script will occur at callbacks, as needed. *Synopsis* NUNCRACKERS is presented as the first TV special taped in the Cable Access Studio built by Reverend Mother in the convent basement. It stars the nuns you love, plus Father Virgil, and four of Mount Saint Helen’s most talented students. Featuring all new songs including Twelve Days Prior to Christmas, Santa Ain’t Comin’ to Our House, We Three Kings of Orient Are Us and It’s Better to Give than to Receive, this show is filled with typical NUNSENSE humor, some of your favorite carols, and a “Secret Santa” audience participation. We’re certain this NUNSENSE Christmas Show will make you laugh, and maybe tug at your heartstrings. It’s the perfect way to insure that your holiday season is merry and bright! *Character Breakdown* (5 female; 1 male) *Sister Mary Regina* — (Reverend Mother) ) is the Mother Superior of the Little Sisters of Hoboken. She tries to be strict and keep order, but things often get out of her control. She grew up in a circus family, and her “showbiz” background and sense of humor always shine through her attempt at creating a tough exterior. *Sister Mary Hubert *– is the Mistress of Novices. She is second in command to Mother Superior. She wanted to be a nun all her life and at times finds it difficult to deal with problems she firmly believes are created by Mother Superior’s ineptness. She is very practical. She and Mother Superior have a healthy and humorous rivalry. *Sister Robert Anne* — also voice of the puppet nun, Sister Mary Annette – is a streetwise nun from Brooklyn, New York. She is one tough cookie but has a heart and soul of gold. The students love her because she “speaks their language.” She feels she has real theatrical potential and is constantly frustrated by Reverend Mother’s refusal to let her “star” in the show *Sister Mary Paul* — (also known as Amnesia) was hit on the head with a crucifix and for a long period didn’t remember who she was. Now, everyone knows she is Sister Mary Paul, a country singer who jump-started her recording career as the first nun to appear at the Grand Ole Opry. Even though she has her memory back, she always seems to be a “little vacant” but innocently endearing. **Sister Mary Leo* — (optional role), a novice in the first three shows, now has her black veil. She is very excited to be in the Christmas show because Reverend Mother has allowed her to dance in the Nutcracker Ballet. Sister Leo has dedicated her life to becoming the first famous nun ballerina. *Father Virgil Manly Trott* - is Sister Mary Leo’s “real-life” brother. He is a Franciscan Father of Fort Wayne and grew up in the Mississippi Delta where he and his sister were part of the Trott Family Singers. He now has his own radio show, and the sisters invited him to participate in the Christmas program because they knew he could give them pointers on presenting a good show. *Brothers & Sisters of the Mount Saint Helens Convent* - Ensemble, any age. *Mount Saint Helens Youth Chorus Members* - Ensemble of Eight Kids, Grades 1 - 8. *Sister Mary Leo appears only at the top of the show (and is usually portrayed by an assistant stage manager or other backstage crew person). For any questions you may have, give us a ring at The Cassidy Theatre by calling (440) 842-4600. Thank you, and hope to see you at auditions!

Two parking lots right next to the hall. 8-9 Jitterbug dance lesson for all levels 9-12 The Dan Zola Orhestra kicks off an awesome night of dance music. This 19 piece big band is steeped in the tradition of the famous swing and dance bands. Count Basie, Glenn Miller, Benny Goodman, Les Brown, Harry James, Ellington and Sinatra are just a sampling of the many authentic sounds that are featured by the Dan Zola Orchestra. Whether it's Swing, Latin, Waltzes or Fox Trots, this band has the arrangements that bring backthe nostalgia of the big band era that has thrilled countless audiences over the past decades. Our featured vocalist, Dianne Palmer recreates the great vocals of Ella Fitzgerald, Anita O'Day, Helen Ward, Doris Day and a host of others that made romantic ballads, jumpin' swing, and entertaining novelty arrangements come to life with words written by the greatest lyricists of our time. The cost is $12 per person, $10 for students and seniors with a valid ID, & $5 for first timers. No need to purchase tickets in advance. No need to bring a dance partner as we rotate partners during the lesson. If you would prefer not to rotate, that is fine too. We have some of the biggest swing dances in the area with over 150 people attending each month. Attendees have a variety of dance experience (including none) and come from all walks of life and ages. You will not need to bring a dance partner. We rotate partners during the dance lesson. How often do you get to meet 50-100 new people in under an hour? We provide the highest quality swing dance instruction from some of the nicest, most patient people you will ever meet. Our staff includes regional, national and international swing dance competitors (and winners) in multiple swing dance forms. We welcome anyone to join us who has an interest in dance, music, socializing and fun. We don't care what your physical ability or size is, where you are in life, where you are on the spectrum of sexual or gender orientation, what color or creed, or non-creed, you are. Are you a man who wants to learn how to follow or a woman who wants to learn how to lead? That's cool! This idea is not new to the swing dance scene. We are the easiest club to join. If you have an interest, you are in. :) We love spreading the gospel of swing dancing and we are excited to share the language and culture of this truly American, urban folk dance form with you. It is important for us to let you know that this dance style started in the African-American ballrooms of Harlem, New York in the late 1920s/early 1930s. This dance has a gritty earthiness that is incredibly empowering and joyful. We can't wait for you to experience this conversation of dance with us. Attire is anything from casual to dressy. The best shoes to wear are comfortable and will allow you to pivot and turn easily. The Slovenian not only has a beautiful ballroom; they also have a well stocked bar. They have alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks of all kinds for sale--including a very special Slovenian beer- Lasko! Please see www.GetHepSwing.com for the most up to date information on dances, bands playing at the dances, classes, private lessons, school programs, and special topic workshops.
