by Shari Schneider via NEohioPAL 05 Sep '17

05 Sep '17

*Act-It UP! Community Theatre announces auditions for the 2017 fall production....* *"A Suessified Christmas Carol"* *A Comedy By* Peter Bloedel *Produced by special arrangement with Playscripts, Inc.* *(www.playscripts.com <https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.playscripts.com%2F&h=ATMmFt…>)* *About the story:* A whimsical reinvention of Dickens' most beloved Christmas story in Seuss spoken rhyming couplets. With zoot fruited juices and binka bird geese, from Bed-Headed Fred to Timmy Loo Hoo, this tale of glorious holiday cheer is similar to something Dr. Suess might have come up with --if he had ever had his way with the story. *Items of Importance:* We are seeking a multi-generational cast of both males and females, ages 7 and up. All roles are open and auditions will consist of cold reads from the script. Act-It UP! Community Theatre engages in the practice of non-traditional casting. Rehearsals will occur on *Wednesday* and *Thursday* evenings *(unless otherwise noted on the rehearsal schedule)* and we ask that everyone auditioning bring their calendars with them to declare potential conflicts. Please consider carefully that if you are granted a role, the larger the role, the more rehearsals required. It is especially important to limit conflicts when further along in the rehearsal process and during Dress & Tech Week. *Dress & Tech Week:* November 27th - November 30th (Final Dress) *Performance Dates/Times:* Friday, December 1st, 7pm (Opening) Saturday, December 2nd, 4:30pm Sunday, December 3rd, 6pm Act-It UP! Community Theatre welcomes actors of all experience levels, from beginner to professional. We enjoy sharing the magic of theatre and are always seeking to grow our Act-It UP! family. Whether you like best to work behind the scenes or in front of the curtain, we invite you to join us! Act-It UP! Community Theatre is an organization comprised of volunteers from within the congregation and the community. After expenses, any profits earned from ticket sales support the future of the theatre group and/or any special fundraising project as agreed upon by the committee. -- ------------------------------ "I have finally reached the wonderful point in my life where I know exactly who I am and I continue to grow, without fear, each and every day. I think that comes from putting faith first." ------------------------------ *~Shari Lynn Schneider* Director Email: act.it.up.theater(a)gmail.com ------------------------------

Olde Towne Hall Theatre
by Lisa Carter, M. Ed. via NEohioPAL 05 Sep '17

05 Sep '17

Olde Towne Hall Theatre's 38th Season Our season opens with Breianne Saylor's sensationally funny play, "Without a Clue." Justin Tyme has a problem. It's not that his name is confusing. It's not that the hotel he owns is falling apart. It's not that a thunderstorm has trapped all of his guests together. And it's not that his guests include a wannabe rock star, a bumbling detective, a neurotic girl who faints at everything, or a weirdo in a cape. His problem is that there is a dead guy in room five and one of his guests is a killer. And when a building inspector arrives ready to condemn his hotel, he's going to have to get away with murder. Come join us at the Falcon Inn! We hope you survive your stay. You may die of laughter. Performances will be Friday, September 29th 7:30 p.m. Saturday, September 30th 7:30 p.m. Sunday, October 8th 3:00 p.m. Friday, October 6th or 13th 7:30 p.m. Saturday, October 7th or 14th 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $12 for ages 12-64 $10 for ages 1-11 or 65+ Call the Box Office to reserve yours today: 440-327-2909 Olde Towne Hall Theatre 36199 Center Ridge Rd.
