OHIO YOUTH ENSEMBLE STAGE (OHYES) ANNOUNCES AUDITIONS FOR “PIRATES OF PENZANCE” MUSICAL The Ohio Youth Ensemble Stage (OHYES) announces auditions for The Pirates of Penzance, a farcical musical by Sir William Gilbert and Sir Arthur Sullivan. The production will be directed by Nate Sayatovich and produced by Ansley Valentine. Auditions are scheduled for Sunday, May 7th 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. and Monday, May 8th 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the Summa Lake Medina Healthcare building located at 3780 Medina Road (across from “Yours Truly” on Route 18) in Medina. Auditions will be in the Main Floor Conference Room. Audition appointments can be made online at https://ohyes.acuityscheduling.com/. The production will be presented June 29th, 30th, July 1st in Medina. Any school-age students from elementary through high school may audition. Auditioning students do not need to prepare anything in advance. Auditions consist of reading from the script and learning a song. First-time participants are encouraged to audition. There is a $100 participation fee for any student in the cast. The fee helps to defray some of the program costs, and every child receives a t-shirt and two tickets to the production. There is financial assistance available for any child who demonstrates a need. A new adaptation scaled for student actors, The Pirates of Penzance brings to life a gang of swashbuckling pirates, dainty maidens, bumbling police officers and one very fast-talking Major General in a 70-minute musical romp that will delight the whole family. The Ohio Youth Ensemble Stage was formerly called Summer Youth Musical. Past productions include Alice in Wonderland and Shrek the Musical Jr.. Students from Cuyahoga, Medina and Summit counties regularly participate in the program. For more information about the production, contact Ansley Valentine at (330) 899-7150 or email at ansleyvalentine(a)gmail.com. *ABOUT THE DIRECTOR AND PRODUCER* Nate Sayatovich works in the education department at Cleveland Play House, the recent recipient of the 2015 Regional Theatre Tony Award. Ansley Valentine teaches acting at Indiana University, and received the Kennedy Center American College Theater Festival Gold Medallion for his efforts to promote quality educational theatre across the country. The two have collaborated on a number of youth theatre productions including *Little Mermaid*, *Willy Wonka*, *Pinocchio *and others. *ABOUT THE OHIO YOUTH ENSEMBLE STAGE (OHYES) * Ohio Youth Ensemble Stage (OHYES) is a program for children from elementary through high school age. The program offers theatre classes, and a fully-produced musical production each summer. Participation is open to all students, regardless of ability, and financial assistance is available to those who qualify. We encourage first time participants and believe that *every child* should have the opportunity to experience the performing arts. The program is funded by participation fees, corporate and local sponsorships.

11 Apr '17

The fourth and FINAL round of auditions for the 2017 Great Lakes Medieval Faire will be held Saturday April 22nd at the Great Lakes Medieval Faire from 10am to 5pm. We have a huge cast list to fill this year, and are still looking to fill a variety of roles. For our principal cast, we still need two men preferably age 30+ to play our Knights Templar We also to fill the role of our main villainous noble the Earl Edmund of Lancaster, as well as their hired help; a chaotic neutral group of rogues and their leader. This year, our principal cast is based on people that actually existed (save for the rogues. They were just added for dramatic effect). Please research the character you are auditioning for, and tailor your audition piece appropriately. While the names of our leads are historically accurate, the age of the actor portraying them does not have to be. In addition to these named characters we also need to fill the following roles: 2 ladies maids to Lady Blanche 2 footmen to the Earl A Faerie princess 4+ elemental fae A mysterious Oracle A Court Jester Two Squires to the Knights 6 to 8 Rogues A sheriff to the village of Avaloch As well as, of course, a diverse and wide cast of villagers. Request an audition by emailing us at glmfcast(a)gmail.com. Please direct all questions you have to glmfcast(a)gmail.com as well. We would be happy to answer any questions you have about the audition or rehearsal process, or about joining cast in general. AEA contracts are not available for this performance.

SEAT OF THE PANTS Announces Summer 2017 Season: ACTS OF DISSENT
by Craig Joseph via NEohioPAL 11 Apr '17

11 Apr '17

During the recent presidential campaign, on Election Night, and in the months following, one thing has become abundantly clear: there's quite a bit of discord and dissension in our country. Rallies that turn strident. Debates that feel more like boxing matches. News programs that feel increasingly polarized. On both sides, folks protest feeling marginalized, unheard, fearful for their futures, and more. And it's everyone: conservatives and liberals, Blacks and Whites, rural residents and city dwellers, blue collar workers and white collar professionals, men and women. Lots of talking at or above each other doesn't seem to make any headway, and our leaders often model gridlock rather than compromise. What can be done? The theatre has a long tradition of being the place where battling political ideologies, conflicting philosphical worldviews, and varying theologies can be translated into captivating stories and performances. With just a bit of distance, audience members can watch conflicts they may have a stake in a bit more dispassionately and with a critical, rational eye. Sometimes, these conflicts are lightened and made comedic; at other times, allegory or metaphor soften the rancor; in the best case scenario, watching a character onstage allows audience members to identify with and begin to empathize with someone who looks and thinks much differently than they do. To that end, Seat of the Pants Productions is proud to present an entire season of plays that do just this: dramatize and "storify" some of the conflicts that exist in America today in an effort to move hearts and open minds, thereby creating an avenue for increased understanding and potential dialogue. The plays are: 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. - Runs May 19-21 at the Founders Hall Theatre at Malone University, starring Bob McCoy, Aaron Brown, Michael Laymon, Stuart Hoffman, and Andrew Knode 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. - Runs June 9-18 at the Black Box Theater at GlenOak High School, starring Craig Joseph 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 questions about what art can (and cannot) achieve in contemporary society. - Runs July 14-23 at the Black Box Theater at GlenOak High School, starring Olivia Wimberly, Justin Edenhofer, Rachel Kall, Natalie Welch, Richard Worswick, Moriah Roberts, Andy Simmons, Barbara Howitt, and more 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. - Runs August 18-27 at a location to be determined, starring Scott Stachiw, Meg Hopp, Tom Stephan, Julie Connair, and more Performances are always Friday and Saturday evenings at 8 PM and Sundays at 2 PM. And our entire season is kindly underwritten in part by a grant from ArtsinStark, the county arts council. WE'D LOVE FOR YOU TO JOIN US! And here are two ways to be a part of the season! 1. *THROUGH MAY 15TH, buy a season pass to all 4 shows for the discounted rate of $50 at www.actsofdissent.eventbrite.com <http://www.actsofdissent.eventbrite.com/>. *You'll purchase your pass and then we'll follow up with a call to help you select your exact nights for each show. 2. *OR AT ANY POINT, purchase tickets for individual shows, priced anywhere from $5 to $20, depending on the show. *Tickets will become available as the summer progresses. At current, you can buy tickets for the first show, THAT CHAMPIONSHIP SEASON, at *www.championshipseason.eventbrite.com <http://www.championshipseason.eventbrite.com/>.*
