"His workshop made me look at acting in a way I never have before. I still carry his lessons with me every time I perform, and I highly recommend everyone take his class who is serious about their craft." - Andrew G. "We learned how to use Meisner as a means of connection to scene material and as a way to cultivate focus while on set. I'm excited to continue learning in his upcoming workshop." - Alex L.

Last Call for Discount Tickets to AMERIKIN, Opening Friday!
by Craig Joseph 08 Mar '25

08 Mar '25

Seat of the Pants' second Mainstage show of the season is coming up - running March 14th through the 30th, Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 and Sundays at 2:30 - and we're excited to offer a discount to theatre makers of every kind on tickets that are purchased *between now and Thursday, March 13th at midnight.* Tickets are regularly $20-$32 and can be purchased at *amerikinsotp.eventbrite.com <http://amerikinsotp.eventbrite.com/>*; at checkout, *use the code CLEVE to receive $3 off each ticket that you purchase.* When new father Jeff Browning receives the results of an ancestry test that he's taken to gain admittance to a white supremacist brotherhood, he gets an unexpected surprise. What transpires garners the attention of a prominent Black journalist-- attention that Jeff (and his small town) aren't sure they want. A dark comedy about the lengths we'll go to to feel connected to something larger than ourselves, AMERIKIN makes a passionate and provocative case for walking a mile in someone else's shoes - regardless of the cost. Directed by Craig Joseph, produced and assistant directed by Jeannine Gaskin, the production stars Michael Glavan*, Chennelle Bryant Harris, Mugs Johnson, Rachel Lee Kolis, Andy Knode*, Katherine Nash, and Geoffrey Short. Sam Landgraf stage manages, with scenic design by Alan Costa, costume design by Victoria Mearini, sound design by Megan Trimarchi, lighting design by Micah Harvey, props design by Mia Jones, and cultural consultancy by Martine Kei Green-Rogers.

Casting call
by ashiadakar 07 Mar '25

07 Mar '25

CASTING CALL!! (Cleveland,OH area) Seeking Exceptional Actors/Singers. 3 Male Leads (23-35), 2 Male Supporting Leads (30+), 5-7 Women. Paid opportunities available. Please DM or send info to: noplacelikehome.musical(a)gmail.com or sonya.inspired(a)gmail.com 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. - 🎭 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. 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. Strong singing skills --- 🦁 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. Performance Notes: Needs powerful acting and singing 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. Performance Notes: Singing skills. 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. ---
