Lakeland Auditions for Merrily We Roll Along
by Martin Friedman via NEohioPAL 07 Jun '17

07 Jun '17

* Lakeland Civic Theatre announces **Auditions for* *Merrily We Roll Along* Music and Lyrics by *Stephen Sondheim* Book by *George Furth* Directed by *Martin Friedman* Musical Direction by *Jordan Cooper* Sound Designed by *Eric Simna * *The Play:* *Merrily We Roll Along, *written in 1981, is based on a 1934 play by George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart. The musical (with a book by George Furth) was first produced in November of 1981, where it ran for 17 performances. Not very successful eh? It tells of the disintegration of the friendship of successful songwriter Franklin Shepard, his lyricist and best friend Charlie Kringas, and novelist Mary Flynn. The action moves backward through time, from 1976 to 1957. This is one of Stephen Sondheim’s most accessible and difficult scores. It is most certainly about friendship and its importance in the lives of three people. This show has great personal meaning to me. And while the book is problematic; I am confident that our production team and the actors that are cast can overcome this. This is one great play. *Audition Information:* *Auditions will be held on Monday and Tuesday, October 23 and 24 at Lakeland Community College in Building D at 7:15pm. NO APPOINTMENTS ARE NECESSARY. * *Please: **One 32 bar cut in the style of the show. A Sondheim piece is preferred. A strong command of musical styles and vocal athleticism is greatly needed for this show.* *You need only come to one of the audition dates**. YOU DO NOT NEED AN AUDITION TIME. JUST SHOW UP AT 7:15 AND WE WILL HAVE YOU SING and then READ. * *CALLBACKS will be held on Wednesday, October 25 between 7:15 and 9:00pm.* *ALL ROLES ARE COMPENSATED. Sorry, no EQUITY contracts for this show. * *The Roles:* *Frank:* *Mid to late 30’s. Male. Piano playing experience is a bonus**. Range: A2 –Bb4.* *Charlie: **Mid to late 30’s.

Mercury Is Going Full Frontal http://bit.ly/2seiLWx Mercury Theatre Company, now in its 19th Season, is launching its Full Frontal initiative, offering $10 tickets of any unsold Front Row seats to theatre lovers under 25 years old. Full Frontal tickets are available 45 minutes prior to each performance of the 2017 mainstage season. “Young people are at the heart of what we do at Mercury Theatre Company. By creating an environment in which young people feel welcome and appreciated, and by bringing down the barriers that they face, we hope to safeguard the future of theatre. I am pleased to announce that, with our Full Frontal initiative, we will be offering any unsold Front Row seats for each performance of the 2017 season at a discounted rate of just $10 for under 25s. In doing this, Mercury Theatre Company theatre can offer seats to any young person regardless of how much disposable income they might have.” Pierre-Jacques Brault, Artistic Director How Full Frontal works: Starting with Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Carousel, and continuing all season, under 25s can nab any unsold Front Row tickets for just $10. It’s simple… if you’re under 25, all you have to do is check Facebook or Twitter to see how many Front Row seats are available at the performance of your choice (posted 2 hours prior to each performance), then turn up at the theatre and register your name with the box office at least 30 minutes before the show. Remember you’ll need to bring ID for proof of age. Each show at Mercury is handpicked to showcase the best of Broadway with a fresh look, including: • Carousel, June 9-24. Named the greatest musical of the 20th Century by Time Magazine, Carousel is Rodgers and Hammerstein at their finest, weaving a beautiful tale of love, loss and redemption with a stellar song-list, including “If I Loved You” and “You’ll Never Walk Alone.” • La Cage Aux Folles, July 7-22. Precursor to the well-known film The Birdcage, this hilarious Jerry Herman tuner about being your truest self remains one of the most revived, all time biggest hits of Broadway. • Hairspray, August 4-19. You can’t stop the beat with this fast-paced and fabulous musical set in 1960’s Baltimore, in an era of social progress that empowers average teen Tracy Turnblad to explore new heights of social justice, teen romance and her hair! At A Glance: What: Mercury Theatre Company goes FULL FRONTAL When: Any performance of the 2017 season with unsold Front Row Tickets Where: Regina Hall, Notre Dame College. 1857 South Green Rd., South Euclid, 44121 Cost: $10 for under 25s How: Check Facebook and Instragram 2 hours prior to each performance for availability and be at the Box Office 30 minutes prior to curtain.

The remaining thespians must save the show and their careers, solve the mystery, and stay alive for curtain call. - There will be a 50/50 raffle to discover who the murderer really is. Come join the fun and maybe win some bucks! Sent from Barb's iPad

Auditions
by Barbara Rhoades via NEohioPAL 07 Jun '17

07 Jun '17

Eleemosynary by Lee Blessing focuses on the lives of three women: seventy-five-year-old Dorothea; her middle-aged daughter, Artie; and Artie's sixteen-year-old daughter, Echo. Dorothea, an admitted New Age eccentric, has complicated the lives of the two other women by imposing her thwarted dreams on them, which has alienated Artie not only from Dorothea but from Echo as well. As the play begins, Echo is caring for Dorothea, who has just had a stroke. During the course of the play, Echo tries to bring the three women together. Blessing presents fragmented vignettes of the lives of the three women as they struggle to define themselves both as individuals and as part of a family unit. In this poignant and mature study of familial relationships, Blessing highlights the human need for connection and forgiveness. Auditions are Tuesday June 13 and Wednesday June 14 at Chagrin Valley Little Theatre, 40 River Street, Chagrin Falls. Show dates are August 11,12,18,19,20, and 25 in our little (65 seat) black box theatre. Hope to see you there. Sent from Barb's iPad

$30 head shots are back!!!
by Fenna Blue via NEohioPAL 06 Jun '17

06 Jun '17

Yes, $30 head shots are back!!! No, this is not a scam. This is a legit service I've been offering to NEOhioPAL subscribers for years. Just check out my work : Via Flickr : https://www.flickr.com/photos/shortgirl/albums/72157643730225194 Via Facebook : https://www.facebook.com/pg/unicornsandlovehandles/photos/?tab=album&album_… So why the great deal? Am I crazy or do I just suck at photography? No, I don't suck at photography. Like I said, I've been doing this for years. I've photographed many actors, musicians, and even businesses. I do this as a way of giving back to the community. I know there are a lot of artists in NEOhio who are not getting rich of their art but still need professional photos. That's why I created this service. What's the catch? You've gotta come to me in Akron. (If I come to you, I have to charge a bit more.) You get 10-20 images delivered digitally. Everything is done within a week. That's it! Simple! These are perfect for kiddos, those in community theater, anyone new to the head shot game, or just anyone who needs a quick photoshoot. I can also come to your business and do head shots for your employees. Book now! I'm not always around!
