Theatre Director available
by Dena M. Warmuth 16 Mar '25

16 Mar '25

Dear Northeast Ohio Theatre Colleagues: My name is Dena M . Warmuth, and I have been a Stage Manager and Director in the Greater Cleveland community for the past 20+ years. I have many production experiences “under my belt”, mostly as a Stage Manager and/or Assistant Director/Director. I have a B.A. degree in Theatre Arts from Cleveland State University (I was a student back at the ol’ Factory Theatre!). I am looking for directing projects for the upcoming 2025/2026 season. I most recently (November 2024) directed a one-act play called THE TYPISTS, by Murray Schisgal…and it was very successful and well-received by audiences. Please reach out to me with any projects you may have. I am interested in Assistant Directing as well as Directing. I am looking for more Directing opportunities as compared with stage management. I am interested in working on non-musical plays only as of this time. Pay is negotiable. I am not a part of any unions. Thanks so much! I am looking forward to talking with you all! Yours in Creativity, Dena M. Warmuth Director/Stage Manager Email: denawarmuth(a)gmail.com

Casting Call for "No Place Like Home" Stage play
by ashiadakar 15 Mar '25

15 Mar '25

*Auditions will be held at the Maple Heights Library 5/22 from 1:30pm-3:30pm* **🎭 NO PLACE LIKE HOME – A Must-See Musical Stage Play! 🎶✨** Get ready for an **unforgettable theatrical experience**! **No Place Like Home** is a high-energy **musical stage play**—a **bold, gospel-infused remix** of the Broadway classic, *The Wiz*! This **soul-stirring production** blends **powerful storytelling, electrifying choreography, and a show-stopping soundtrack** that fuses **gospel, hip-hop, and contemporary music**. Follow Rachel on a journey of **faith, self-discovery, and redemption** as she searches for **something more—only to realize that everything she’s been looking for is right where she left it.** ✨ **Expect:** 🔥 Show-stopping performances 🎶 Soulful, foot-stomping music 󰙎 High-energy dance numbers 😂 Laughter, tears, and moments that will move you 󰚣 A powerful message that speaks to the heart **Will Rachel find her way back home? Will YOU be there to witness the magic?** **Don’t miss this one-night-only event!** Secure your seats NOW before they’re gone! 🎟 “No Place Like Home” Story Synopsis No Place Like Home follows Rachel, a young woman struggling to reconcile her faith with her longing for independence and self-discovery. Feeling trapped in a life of rules and expectations, she embarks on a journey that mirrors the classic tale of The Wiz, but with a modern, urban twist. Along the way, Rachel encounters characters who represent key aspects of faith and self-growth—a Scarecrow seeking wisdom, a Tin Man seeking a new heart, and a Lion seeking courage. Guided by God (represented as "The Wiz"), Rachel learns that true freedom and joy are found not in the world but in the presence of God. With laughter, tears, and powerful music, No Place Like Home is a moving reminder that there’s no greater refuge than the love of God. **Character Synopsis & Breakdown – *No Place Like Home*** --- 🎭 RACHEL (Lead) – The Seeker ● Age: Early 20s ● Personality: Strong-willed, intelligent, but conflicted. Rachel is ambitious yet restless, feeling trapped by the routine of church, school, and work. She craves more freedom and experiences, believing she’s missing out on life. Deep down, she’s searching for purpose, identity, and a connection with God that feels real—not just routine. ● Journey: She embarks on a path of self-discovery, only to realize that true fulfillment isn’t in the world, but in the presence of God. ● Performance Notes: Requires strong acting, singing, and movement skills. Rachel’s journey is emotional, demanding both vulnerability and strength. --- 💔 TINNMAN – The Guarded Heart (Commitment-Phobic Player) ● Age: Mid-20s to early 30s ● Personality: Charming, smooth, but emotionally unavailable. Tinman is a former player who has spent years avoiding commitment, keeping relationships shallow, and guarding his heart at all costs. He’s broken a lot of hearts but tells himself he’s doing them a favor by not getting too close. ● Backstory: After years of treating love like a game, he eventually became numb—unable to truly feel, love, or connect. He doesn’t even realize how empty he’s become until his own emotional detachment starts to feel like a curse. ● Journey: Tinman believes that love makes you weak, but through Rachel’s journey, he learns that a hardened heart isn’t protection—it’s a prison. True strength is found in being open, loving fully, and trusting God to lead. ● Symbolism: He represents those who use detachment as a shield against pain, only to realize they’ve locked themselves away from real love and connection. ● Performance Notes: Actor must exude charm and confidence at first, then slowly reveal the depth of his emotional struggle. His transformation should feel genuine and powerful. --- 🦁 LIONEL – The Fearful One ● Age: Mid-20s to early 30s ● Personality: Tough on the outside, scared on the inside. Lionel is an ex-gang member who barely escaped a dangerous lifestyle that claimed the lives of many of his friends. He struggles with guilt, fear, and doubt, questioning if he truly has the courage to start fresh and live righteously. ● Journey: Through Rachel’s journey, Lionel realizes that true strength comes from faith in God, not just physical bravado. ● Performance Notes: Needs powerful acting skills to balance gritty toughness with vulnerability. --- 🎩 KEVIN – The Misguided One (Scarecrow Representation) ● Age: Early 20s ● Personality: Good-hearted but insecure. Kevin grew up being told he wasn’t smart, and over time, he started to believe it. He’s been raised in an environment that ridiculed his desire to learn, especially when it came to his faith. His mother was verbally abusive, constantly putting him down and making him feel worthless. ● Journey: Kevin seeks wisdom and knowledge, but his self-doubt holds him back. He believes he’s “not smart enough” to change his life, make better choices, or walk in faith. Through Rachel’s journey, he realizes that true wisdom comes from God, not from the world’s validation. ● Symbolism: Kevin represents those who have been mentally and emotionally conditioned to believe they are less than they truly are. His story is about breaking free from those lies and stepping into the truth of his worth. ● Performance Notes: Actor must balance humor with vulnerability, portraying Kevin’s internal battle between self-doubt and the desire to grow. His transformation should be both heartfelt and inspiring. --- 󰬞 RICHARD (Rachel’s Father) – The Rock ● Age: 40s-50s ● Personality: Wise, loving, protective, and humorous. A devoted father and faithful believer, Richard represents wisdom, discipline, and tough love. He’s firm in his beliefs and wants Rachel to trust God, even though he struggles with how to guide her without pushing her away. ● Journey: As Rachel distances herself, Richard is challenged to love her through her doubts while trusting God to bring her back. ● Performance Notes: Actor must have a strong presence, comedic timing, and the ability to deliver heartfelt monologues. **Final Thoughts** Each character plays a **pivotal role** in shaping Rachel’s journey, **representing different spiritual struggles**—fear, heartbreak, temptation, wisdom, and grace. Let me know if you’d like any additions or tweaks! 🎭✨ 󰬄 ROSE (Rachel’s Mother) – The Heart ● Age: 40s-50s ● Personality: Nurturing, compassionate, but firm. Rose has a deep faith in God, believing in prayer and patience. She’s a strong yet gentle guide, supporting Rachel but also struggling with watching her daughter question everything she taught her. ● Journey: Rose teaches Rachel that love, grace, and faith will always welcome her back home. ● Performance Notes: Needs a warm stage presence
