CALLING ACTORS - Macamont!
by Manhattan Project via NEohioPAL 11 Feb '17

11 Feb '17

Between 1942 and 1945, J. Robert Oppenheimer gathered the most brilliant minds of the age at Los Alamos, New Mexico to create something awesome and terrible. The Manhattan Project - Cleveland Lab seeks to do the same for the Cleveland stage. Mac Wellman's Coming to Town! Let's Put on a Play! The Manhattan Project is pleased to join forces once again with our friends at Playwrights Local <http://facebook.us8.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=24718b1d6d5f7c398165fdc7…>. We will be taking part in the Mac Wellman Homecoming Festival <http://facebook.us8.list-manage.com/track/click?u=24718b1d6d5f7c398165fdc7b…> ! We will have four phenomenal Cleveland playwrights writing brand new ten-minute plays to be performed at the festival: Kevin Latimer, Nakanaela Bell, Amanda VanAllen, and Angelo Maneage! We need brilliant local actors to help them create these awesome and terrible plays! Join us for our Meet & Greet <http://facebook.us8.list-manage.com/track/click?u=24718b1d6d5f7c398165fdc7b…> at 8:00pm Monday, February 20 at Mahall's 20 Lanes! Performance <http://facebook.us8.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=24718b1d6d5f7c398165fdc7…> will be at 9:30pm Friday, March 24 outside Drinko Hall at Cleveland State University. We hope to see you there! What exactly is The Manhattan Project - Cleveland Lab? The Manhattan Project is a low-stakes, nonthreatening place for actors and playwrights to meet and work together. Based on the Theatre Lab model taught at the Carnegie Mellon School of Drama and inspired by The Brooklyn Generator in New York, The Manhattan Project wants to introduce Cleveland actors and playwrights to each other by organizing a bi-monthly production of brand new 10-minute plays. Participating artists will meet early in the month and will be broken into teams, each with one playwright. The playwright will then be given a writing prompt to write a new 10-minute play based on the prompt and including all the team's actors. The rest of the evening the team members will get to know each other and get a feel for each other's skills and voices. The teams will reconvene later in the month to perform these plays for each other. These 10-minute plays are not an end in themselves. Through these small collaborations we hope to build relationships between the two most vulnerable artists in theatre; the actors who put themselves on stage and the playwrights who pour themselves onto the page. Perhaps these 10-minute plays will grow into longer works or maybe these collaborations will become partnerships on larger projects. If you'd like to participate, please RSVP at TrinityCrater(a)gmail.com or introduce yourself at out next event. *Some additional notes on the play lab:* - In the spirit of shoe-string theatre, these 10-minute plays should have a budget of $0.00. - Playwrights will be directing the plays, or an actor from the team can volunteer to do so. - It's up to each team to schedule rehearsals together. Based on experience, it shouldn't take more than 3-4 hours of rehearsal time to get these plays on their feet. - Playwrights are invited in advance of the Meet & Greet. - *Playwrights are invited based on participation in past Manhattan Project events, so please come to our events so we can get to know you!*

This is an hour-long presentation and there is about 15 minutes of text wedded into the 45 minutes of music. This is a mix of direct audience narration with very short scenes.

This is the rehearsal/performance schedule. ALL performances are during the DAY. REHEARSALS Sunday- Feb 26- time depending on avail of cast Tuesday- Feb 28- 5:00-8:00 Wednesday- March 1 3:00 -8:00 (not the full time- depending on avail of cast) Friday- March 3 5:00-8:00 Sunday- March 5 time depending on avail of cast Monday 3/6 staging rehearsals at venue (time TBA) Tuesday, 3/7 10a-12 rehearsal with Orchestra Wednesday, 3/8 10 am Concert #1 12 noon Concert #2 Thursday, 3/9 10 am Concert #3 12 noon Concert #4 Friday 3/10 10 am Concert #5 12 noon Concert #6 Since there is very little text to learn and this is a remount, the rehearsal schedule is not heavy.
