Hello Neopal Users; I am currently directing a production of "The Dining Room" for Bay Village Community Theatre and we were looking for a "fake" turkey for our Thanksgiving scene. I am wondering if any of the local theatres have a prop like that? If so, would it be possible for us to borrow from you? (would consider renting it, if we had to) Our production runs Sept 22-Oct 1, it would be nice to have the prop by 9/18. Please contact me at cmb164(a)zips.uakron.edu or 216-820-0674 if you can provide me at with any assistance/leads. Sincerely, Chris Bizub

by Douglas Bailey via NEohioPAL 08 Sep '17

08 Sep '17

Mighty Goliath Productions is celebrating their 59th season with BIG FISH! The proceeds from our annual production will be donated to the performing arts programs of the Avon Lake city schools. Based on the celebrated novel by Daniel Wallace and the acclaimed film directed by Tim Burton, Big Fish centers on Edward Bloom, a traveling salesman who lives life to its fullest… and then some! Edward’s incredible, larger-than-life stories thrill everyone around him – most of all, his devoted wife Sandra. But their son Will, about to have a child of his own, is determined to find the truth behind his father’s epic tales. Overflowing with heart, humor and spectacular stagecraft, Big Fish is an extraordinary new Broadway musical that reminds us why we love going to the theatre – for an experience that’s richer, funnier and BIGGER than life itself. Our process is very unique in that the whole cast rehearses just once per week on Friday evenings from 7-10 pm. For this production some principles will also rehearse on Monday evenings. Rehearsals will begin October 27th. The production runs February 9-17 at the Daniel B. Ross Performing Arts Center in Avon Lake. WHAT: BIG FISH Directed by Douglas F.
