Reminder: Auditions for "It's Only a Play" at Weathervane Playhouse THIS weekend
by Fred Gloor via NEohioPAL 21 Jun '17

21 Jun '17

Weathervane Playhouse announces auditions for "It's Only a Play" on June 24 and 25 from 3-6 pm on both days. Callbacks (if necessary) will be on June 26 at 7 pm. It's Only a Play By Terrence McNally Directed by Fred Gloor It is preferred that you come with a prepared with a comedic monologue of no more than three minutes in length and your headshot and resume (If you have one), but if you don't there will be sides from the script to read from. Rehearsals begin July 23rd and run Sunday through Thursdays. The show runs Thursdays through Fridays from August 31 through September 17. All performers are volunteers and there are no Equity contracts available. To sign up http://www.signupgenius.com/go/20f054aaaa62aa2f49-its Synopsis It's the opening night of The Golden Egg on Broadway, and the wealthy producer Julia Budder is throwing a lavish party in her lavish Manhattan townhouse. Downstairs the celebrities are pouring in, but the real action is upstairs where a group of insiders have staked themselves out in the producer's bedroom, waiting for the reviews to come in. Included are the excitable young author; the brilliant but unstable director (who courts failure and is devastated when his work is well received); the pill-popping leading lady (who is hoping to revive her career after a series of flop movies); and the playwright's best friend, an egotistical but insecure comic actor who passed up a chance to star in the play for a television series-which has since been cancelled. Also present are a fawning, hypocritical drama critic (who is a closet playwright); a would-be singer working as a part-time servant; and a hard-boiled lady taxi driver who has seen it all, many times over. Cast of characters * Julia Budder, a first-time producer of the Broadway play The Golden Egg * Peter Austin, the nervous playwright * James Wicker, an egotistical but insecure comic actor who passed up a chance to star in the play for a television series-which has since been canceled * Virginia Noyes, dissolute, aging star of the play; she wears an ankle monitor and drinks and snorts cocaine throughout * Frank Finger, the young, egomaniacal, "genius" British director * Ira Drew, insecure theater critic * Gus, who checks the coats and hats but has aspirations for a Broadway career Questions can be addressed to the director at fgloor(a)weathervaneplayhouse.com<mailto:fgloor@weathervaneplayhouse.com>

Vanity Crash and An Evening With(out) David Bowie - Fri June 30 & Sat July 1 - Bop Stop
by Dennis Van Crash via NEohioPAL 21 Jun '17

21 Jun '17

Vanity Crash had some amazing shows these past few weeks. The Glam/Jam Fashion show at the Aquarium, Shaker's Tavern and the Dancing Wheels benefit at Nautica Pavilion Stage are three of them. Thank you to all who attended!!! - Now for what's upcoming: A Crash Course For The Ravers... Dear friends, Many of you attended last January's presentations on David Bowie that we hosted at the BOP STOP. And many of you were unable to attend as four separate shows sold out quickly. Now's your chance to see it, for Friday June 30 and Saturday July 1 we're mounting An Evening With(out) David Bowie, and we've posted a page specifically for folks like you: http://www.BowieShows.com I wanted to send a reminder that we have revised the show and expanded it into two parts. On Fri 6/30 at 7:30PM, we present Early Bowie (through Young Americans), then at 9:30PM it's Mid- to Late-Bowie (Station to Station through Blackstar ★ and beyond). http://www.themusicsettlement.org/calendar/2017/06/30/an-evening-without-da… The same two parts are repeated the next night, Sat 7/1. Most folks are coming to both Part 1 and Part 2 and staying all night either Fri or Sat. http://www.themusicsettlement.org/calendar/2017/07/01/an-evening-without-da… As before, Cleveland's premiere glam punk superstars Vanity Crash will hit the stage after each section to bring a cathartic jolt with newly prepared Bowie classics, along with a few of their stellar originals, including NEW SONGS from their NEW UPCOMING FALL RELEASE. If you attended past presentations, you should know that the show has been re-designed and DOUBLED in size! So much material has surfaced since the artist's passing: unseen videos and photos, new details and factoids, re-mastered and cleaned up audio and video, and rare outtakes. We'll have a lot more time to play clips and songs that we had to breeze through before. Full bar and kitchen service will be provided by the BOP STOP, and all proceeds from the food & bev will go towards supporting their mission to educate Cleveland area youth through the age of 18 with music instruction, music therapy, and preschool, day school, and kindergarten. Written in pain, written in awe/By a puzzled man who questioned/What we were here for I invite you to attend one or more of these exciting special presentations!

Audiences and critics are raving about "Hairspray" at Weathervane Playhouse.
by Fred Gloor via NEohioPAL 21 Jun '17

21 Jun '17

"Hairspray" review from the West Side Leader: http://www.akron.com/akron-ohio-entertainment-news.asp?aID=34513 And here are just a few of the things that audiences are saying about "Hairspray" at Weathervane Playhouse: "Hairspray was phenomenal" "The set was amazing, the costumes were beautiful" "WHAT A SHOW!! KUDOS! Bravo! Don't miss this show, folks" Weathervane Playhouse presents the multi-Tony Award-winning Hairspray. "You Can't Stop the Beat" in this delightful story of dancing, romance, and social justice. AKRON - The 1950s are out, and change is in the air! Hairspray, the winner of eight Tony Awards, including Best Musical, makes its way to the Weathervane stage June 8 through July 2. This family-friendly musical is piled bouffant-high with laughter, romance, and deliriously tuneful songs. It's 1962 in Baltimore, and the lovable plus-size teen, Tracy Turnblad, has only one desire - to dance on the popular Corny Collins Show. When her dream comes true, Tracy is transformed from social outcast to sudden star. She must use her newfound power to dethrone the reigning Teen Queen, win the affections of heartthrob, Link Larkin, and integrate a TV network... all without denting her 'do! Hairspray runs Thursdays through Saturdays at 7:30 p.m. and Sundays at 2:30 p.m. Tickets are $22 - $26 and are available by calling 330-836-2626 or going to www.weathervaneplayhouse.com<http://www.weathervaneplayhouse.com/> Director Marissa Leenaarts says "Hairspray still holds relevance in today's society. Laugh, sing, and tap your feet through this upbeat fast-paced show, but take this lesson away - we as an audience must always continue to strive for acceptance of all people. Together, we can do so much more to overcome what has divided us in the past. YOU can't stop the beat!" Weathervane Playhouse's production of Hairspray is sponsored by a generous donation from the Akron/Summit Convention and Visitors Bureau.
