La Fleur de la Renaissance
by Kira McGirr 30 Apr '26

30 Apr '26

The Cleveland Chamber Choir finishes their season on May 8 & 9 with "La Fleur de la Renaissance," a program of rich, resplendent polyphony from Renaissance France. The concert is shaped around a pastiche mass built from several L’Homme armé settings, interwoven with chansons and motets by Josquin des Prez, Clément Janequin, Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck, and others. These towering figures shaped the soundscape of the 15th and early 16th centuries—Josquin, hailed as the “master of the notes,” transformed vocal expression with emotional depth and technical brilliance. Janequin was famous for his descriptive programmatic chansons, with vivid vocal pieces mimicking sounds like birds, street cries, and battles. Sweelinck was known as the “Orpheus of Amsterdam,” bridging Renaissance and Baroque music. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to hear their sublime compositions brought to life—an evening of exquisite harmony, historic beauty, and musical flowering. Charles Edward McGuire, PhD, from Oberlin College & Conservatory, will present a pre-concert talk 45 minutes prior to each performance. Reserve Your FREE Tickets at clevelandchamberchoir.org Friday, May 8, 7:30pm, Trinity Cathedral, Cleveland Saturday, May 9, 7:30pm, First Lutheran Church, Lorain Inspired by the Center for Arts-Inspired Learning’s mission of nurturing the creative spark in youth across the NEOhio region, the choir will direct a portion of the pay what you wish ticket donations to them, as their charitable partner for this concert. The choir is grateful for the grant support provided by the Cleveland Foundation, Cuyahoga Arts & Culture, The George Gund Foundation, The Louise H. and David S. Ingalls Foundation and the Ohio Arts Council, and support by Trinity Cathedral as named Artist in Residence.

-Workshop Players Seeking Directors for 2027-2028 season
by Workshop Players 29 Apr '26

29 Apr '26

April 28, 2026 Good Afternoon, We at Workshop Players Theater in Amherst, OH are happy to invite you to apply to direct during our 2027-2028 season. It may seem early, but our process takes some time. Last November, we chose our season for 2026-2027, blurbs and logos have been created, and licenses applied for and granted. We are currently primed to print our brochure for next season …. SO, it’s time to start again. It is our belief that directors need to have an investment in whatever is chosen to produce. Therefore, instead of choosing a season randomly and then searching for directors, we like to do it the opposite way. *We ask that you, as a potential director, submit no fewer than 4 and no more than 5 shows that you would like to direct. Include a description of, each play (that could be copied from the licensing site), why you believe those particular pieces would be effective in our theater, and, if you have not directed with us before, also include a theatrical resume. * *The deadline to apply is JULY 31, 2026. * The Board of Trustees may choose to interview some of the candidates. They will select our five directors and after they are chosen, the play reading committee will read the 25-30 submitted plays and work to establish a balanced season, which will be approved by the Board in November. *We are especially interested in CHRISTMAS PLAYS, and CHESTNUTS *(both *Arsenic and Old Lace *and *Harvey *sold particularly well). Our audiences like to be entertained, and that is our focus. Please do not submit absurdist or highly controversial pieces. Workshop Players Theater is proud to be the longest-running theater-in-the-round in the state of Ohio. Housed in a former one-room schoolhouse, the magic of theater is inches away from our audience members. Naturally, that means we do have some limitations to be kept in mind when applying. We have very limited backstage space, so we cannot store a lot of scenery. Having very large casts with 20+ cast members would be difficult to accommodate. We also do no more than one musical a year, and some seasons do not include a musical at all. If you are interested in submitting a musical, please also suggest straight plays to enhance your chances of being selected. *Everyone at Workshop Players is a volunteer. * We do it for the love of theatre, and each year we have been delighted to receive more applications from potential directors than we have slots— reaffirming to us that the love of theatre is alive and well! Thank you for being among that number. *Submit applications * *by July 31, 2026* * to: * *Pat Price, Chair of the Play Reading Committee . **pprice203(a)gmail.com* <pprice203(a)gmail.com> -- Workshop Players Theatre 44820 Middle Ridge Road P.O. Box 1193, Amherst, OH 44001 Box Office: 440-634-0472 Find us on Facebook, YouTube and Instagram!

This feel-good show is a milestone."- The New York Times Dear Evan Hansen,<https://beckcenter.org/theater> in collaboration with Oberlin College & Conservatory Music Theater Program,<https://www.oberlin.edu/music-theater> Book by Steven Levenson, Music and Lyrics by Benj Pasek, and Justin Paul.

Nominated for nine Tony Awards (r), this musical proves You Will Be Found. A powerful, deeply human musical about connection, identity, and the longing to belong. When Evan Hansen, a misunderstood high school student, becomes caught in a web of lies born from good intentions, his story unexpectedly resonates with an entire community. Featuring a soaring, emotionally charged score, this musical explores the pressures of growing up in a hyperconnected world, and the courage it takes to be honest, even when it feels impossible. "Leaving a new musical with a great song or two running through your head is a rare but exciting thing. Leaving with about 10 great songs running through your head is pretty much unheard of. But that's the power of Dear Evan Hansen."- Entertainment Weekly "One of the most remarkable shows in musical theater history." The Washington Post Anne McEvoy as Emily Dickinson in The Belle of Amherst. Written by William Luce. Directed by Bill Roudebush. Studio Theater. April 9, 2027 through May 9, 2027. Presented in arrangement with Concord Theatricals. Premiering on Broadway in 1976, this one-woman play stars the tour de force local talent, Anne McEvoy. Set in her Amherst, Massachusetts home, this solitary nineteenth-century poet shares her life's events through her famous works, her diaries, letters to loved ones, and some glimpses into encounters with those who shaped her voice on the page. In a world where so many feel lonely today when technology should connect us, experience the pains and joys of a poet in her secluded world. A must-see for poetry and literature lovers. "The text is marvelously comprehensive, emotional, and revealing." Brooks Atkinson, The New York Times Violet,<https://beckcenter.org/theater> Book and lyrics by Brian Crawley, and Music by Jeanine Tesori. Directed by Scott Spence, Musical Direction by Larry Goodpaster. Choreography by Lauren Marousek. Violet is inspired by the short story, The Ugliest Pilgrim by Doris Betts.

Violet features show-stopping anthems, ranging from American-roots to folk to gospel. The score from Tony-winning composer Jeanine Tesori (Thoroughly Modern Millie; Shrek; Fun Home), astounds critics and audiences alike in two separate decades. As a girl, Violet was struck by a wayward axe blade when her father was chopping wood, leaving her with a visible scar across her face. To escape her past, she travels across the Deep South in 1964 towards a miracle - the healing touch of a TV evangelist who will make her beautiful. Will Violet be able to repair those scars that are lying deeper than her skin? On the way, she meets a young Black soldier whose love sees her true, ever-lasting beauty.
