"The Flick" previews Thursday and OPENS Friday at Weathervane Playhouse.
by Fred Gloor via NEohioPAL 04 May '17

04 May '17

Weathervane Playhouse presents Annie Baker’s Pulitzer Prize-winning The Flick Beautiful, moving, keen, and insightful, “The Flick” explores the humor and significance of the mundane. AKRON, OH – Join Weathervane Playhouse as we turn the stage of the Founders Theater into a run-down movie house for our upcoming production of Annie Baker’s humorous and moving The Flick May 4 through 14. Show times are Thursday through Saturday at 7:30 p.m. and Sundays at 2:30 p.m. Tickets are $10 - $22 and can be purchased by calling 330-836-2626<tel:(330)%20836-2626> or going to www.weathervaneplayhouse.com<http://www.weathervaneplayhouse.com/>. Due to mature themes and language, The Flick is recommended for adult audiences only. In a run-down movie theater in central Massachusetts, three underpaid employees mop the floors and attend to one of the last 35-millimeter film projectors in the state. Their tiny battles and not-so-tiny heartbreaks play out in the empty aisles, becoming more gripping than the lackluster, second-run movies on the screen. With a keen insight and finely-tuned comic eye, The Flick is a hilarious and heart-rending cry for authenticity in a fast-changing world. The Flick was commissioned by Playwrights Horizon in New York City, where it received its world premiere on March 12, 2013. Following its limited engagement there, the production transferred to the off-Broadway Barrow Street Theatre, where it played from May 7, 2015, to Jan. 10, 2016. Among its many honors, The Flick won the 2014 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, the 2013 OBIE Award for Playwriting and the 2013 Susan Smith Blackburn Prize. The Flick was also a 2013 Drama Desk Award nominee for Outstanding Play, a 2013 Lucille Lortel Award nominee for Outstanding Play and was a finalist for the 2013 New York Drama Critics' Circle Award for Best Play. Director Craig Joseph says “The Flick is not so much plot-driven as it is a character study of folks who both desire to connect with one another authentically, and also fear being entirely known. What makes for good drama in The Flick is watching how they each navigate both the joys and pains of becoming oneself. Annie Baker is a playwright and teacher who won the 2014 Pulitzer Prize for her play The Flick. Among her works are the Shirley, Vermont plays, which take place in the fictional town of Shirley: Circle Mirror Transformation, Body Awareness, and The Aliens. Baker graduated from the Department of Dramatic Writing at New York University's Tisch School of the Arts. She earned her Master of Fine Arts degree in playwriting from Brooklyn College in 2009.

Stocker Arts Center Presents Songwriting Made Simple Songwriting Made Simple featuring Jonathan Kingham and Ryan Shea Smith will take the stage at 10 a.m. Friday, May 19 at the Stocker Arts Center Cirgliano Studio Theatre at Lorain County Community College. Kingham and Smith are back again. They will perform with area students who have written amazing new songs with them during the week's songwriting workshops. LCCC Early College High School students and alumni will participate. Additionally, 8-year-old Avery will return to the stage with her mother, Tori Lambert. The Elyria second-grader was called onto the stage at a recent St. Jude Jam benefit and entertained the group with her sing-along with Chris Janson. She plans to share a song she wrote about best friends. With diverse musical styles ranging from folk, pop and jazz to R & B, the concert is all about great songs. Kingham wrote his first song in 1996 and since then, has won first place in The Unisong International Song Contest, has twice placed in the top five of the John Lennon Song contest, won first in the USA Songwriting Competition in the folk category as well as the Overall Grand Prize out of 33,000 entries, and was awarded first place in the gospel category of the ISC songwriting contest. His singing has been featured in films, soap operas and on "Felicity." Based out of Nashville he splits his time between touring the country and writing, recording and producing. In addition to his solo career, Jonathan currently plays keyboard and steel guitar for Toad the Wet Sprocket. Seattle native Ryan Shea Smith is also a veteran songwriter and recipient of multiple songwriting awards. His musical skill has been honed through jazz studies at the University of Washington and a steady touring schedule. He is known for his singing voice and has an impressive command of keyboard and guitar. Smith's sophomore release "Stay Awhile" is a John Lennon song contest winner. For more information or tickets, call the Stocker Arts Center box office at (440) 366-4040 or visit www.stockerartscenter.com. Tickets are $5 each for this one hour Student Matinee Series concert.
