CHARACTERS: ETHAN: M, 35 – 39, white (Paid – Travel Reimbursed) Ethan is a thin, yet fit, grade school math teacher who recently became a father. He sports Warby Parker style glasses and always keeps a little shadow on his face. In addition to starting a local community garden, Ethan is a politically active leftist.

CASSIDY: F, 15-17, white (Unpaid - Travel Reimbursed) Cassidy is the outgoing, yet distracted, teenager daughter of Brian. She’s mostly preoccupied with her phone and when she chooses to engage, it’s reluctantly.

Season Passes and Individual Show Tickets Available for ACTS OF DISSENT
by Craig Joseph via NEohioPAL 02 May '17

02 May '17

ONLY TWO MORE WEEKS TO PURCHASE SEASON SUBSCRIPTIONS! Seat of the Pants' 2017 summer season is entitled, ACTS OF DISSENT: Theatrical Explorations of Discord & Disagreement. Four very intriguing plays (a staged reading, a one man show, and two fully stage productions) all looking at how we debate and dialogue and disagree well in a society that seems to be increasingly strident. By turns thought-provoking, funny, moving, entertaining, and inspiring, these four shows will be staged around Canton. Details on dates at the links below. THAT CHAMPIONSHIP SEASON (a staged reading), by Jason Miller: Pulitzer Prize winning play about 5 former basketball heroes gathered together to reminisce about their glory days, bemoan their diminishing status in the world as white men, and confront some ugly racism from their shared past. CHESAPEAKE (a one man show), by Lee Blessing: A performance artist retaliates against a conservative senator who revoked his NEA funding by kidnapping the senator's dog. But when the artist and the dog die during the attempt, the unthinkable happens - and the two men have to learn how to get along. A BRIGHT ROOM CALLED DAY (full production), by Tony Kushner: a story of artists banding together during the Weimar Republic to resist the Nazis rise to power - poses some terrific question about what art can (and cannot) achieve in contemporary society. THE CHRISTIANS (full production), by Lucas Hnath: When a pastor announces to his congregation that he no longer believes in Hell and asks them to take a more loving and open approach to the world around them, it shakes the foundations that the church is built upon and creates many avenues for discussion and dialogue. *You can purchase a season pass to ALL FOUR SHOWS for ONLY $50 at www.actsofdissent.eventbrite.com <http://www.actsofdissent.eventbrite.com/> if you act through May 15th. *This is $10 off the face value of buying tickets a la carte and will allow you to pick any performance of each show to attend. *IF YOU'D PREFER TO PURCHASE ALA CARTE TICKETS TO INDIVIDIAL SHOWS.....* You can do that at the following URLs.
