In need of a Projection Designer/VFX Artist for a production of It's A Wonderful Life at Garfield Players Performance Dates: December 9, 10, 16, 17 at 7:00 pm December 18 at 3:00 pm Project/Quality: This show features an Angel moving through the years 1919-1945 of George Bailey's life and changing events in his life to create an alternate timeline where he never existed in order to prove to him that his life has meaning. I would need a presentation that includes photos, video clips, and possibly animations that would be able to run seamlessly along side the action taking place onstage. I'm looking for something better than a power point presentation, which is all I would be able to come up with. I'm open to your create ideas as to how we can accomplish this task. Payment: Any payment you would receive would be coming out of my own pocket, so I would like to negotiate a price that is fair for the both of us. Contact: If interested please email Chris Bizub at cmb164(a)zips.uakron.edu Resume Links to previous work Anything else that is relevant Thank you very much and looking forward to hearing from you!

All performances take place in the Allen Theatre Complex at Playhouse Square. The Selected CSU Benefit Dates * "A CHRISTMAS STORY" - Thursday, 12/1/16 @ 7:30 p.m. He's back! One boy. One holiday wish. And a world that seems to be conspiring to make certain it doesn't come true. The record-breaking show returns to the CPH stage in all its pink-bunny-suit, glowing-leg-lamp, triple-dog-daring glory. The perfect holiday treat for the entire family. * "KEN LUDWIG'S BASKERVILLE: A SHERLOCK HOLMES MYSTERY" - Sunday, 1/22/17 @ 6:30 p.m. The hunting and haunting of the heir to the Baskerville fortune proves the most puzzling - and dangerous! - case in the illustrious careers of Sherlock Holmes and his trusty sidekick, Dr. Watson. Cleveland favorite Ken Ludwig is back with his madcap adaptation of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's classic mystery, transforming The Hound of the Baskervilles into an all-out comedic theatrical adventure. Full of humor, horror, and plenty of stage magic, five actors play nearly 40 roles in this kooky and spooky caper that will have you howling with laughter. * "FREAKY FRIDAY" - Sunday, 4/16/17 @ 6:30 p.m. When an overworked mother and her teenage daughter magically swap bodies, they have just one day to put things right again before mom's big wedding.
