CPT's Kulas Foundation Theatre Composer Initiative Application Deadline for Application is Monday, December 5th, 2016 In anticipation of the renewal of this grant, CPT is now accepting applications for The Kulas Foundation Theatre Composer fellowships. The Kulas Foundation Theatre Composer Initiative is a six month fellowship program providing early-career composers with first-hand experience creating music and sound design for theatre. This initiative engages composer/designers in a collaborative process under the guidance of the show producer and director to compose and produce original music for full productions and works-in-development in CPT's Season and to learn about other parts of the creative and production process of theatre. Composers gain hands-on learning experiences through sound design opportunities. The program is intended to significantly grow CPT's capacity for developing original music and sound design, and to support the growth and emergence of local artists. In order to ensure the development of work past this residency, both the composer and Cleveland Public Theatre will own full rights to composed materials developed through the Theatre Composer Initiative. Program Expectations: The Composer and CPT will work together to develop an intense and fruitful fellowship. The following represents the primary pieces of the fellowship, but the plan will be adapted to the specific fellow chosen. * Compose and produce original music and sound design for one full stage production or work-in-development. Composer/Designers will be expected to attend the meetings and rehearsals for each show. These meetings do not include the actual time composing and producing music for the show. * 3 early stage meetings with director and artistic team (75 minutes). * Weekly production meetings for six weeks leading up to opening (75 minutes). * One rehearsal a week for first five weeks of rehearsal (4 hours each). * Tech and dress rehearsals leading up to performance. * Meet with director and/or producer throughout the project to engage in a collaborative creative process. The Composer/Designer will perform all tasks related to sound design and composition including recording, development of cues and cueing. * Participate in other learning opportunities and support CPT's work o CPT will provide a series of other opportunities for the composer to deepen their knowledge of theatre and collaboration including shadowing experiences, internships, workshops and forums. o Composer may be asked to take on a sound or music related project for the theatre-for example to run sound for a show, or to assist or produce specific music composed by others. o CPT may provide other intern level opportunities in non-music/sound areas. * Participate in the life of the theatre Composers will have opportunities to interact with staff, artists and audiences through attending opening nights, special meetings, volunteer opportunities and events. In addition to providing the experiences in this program CPT will also provide the following: * $1,500 Fellowship upon completion of program * Possible additional underwriting for musicians, specialized sound equipment for implementation of design, or recording to be approved by CPT Executive Artistic Director * Free Tickets for Composer and Guest to all CPT shows during the 16/17 season Eligibility * Applicant must be a resident of Northeast Ohio. * This program is not for current students. * Applicant must have a college degree or equivalent in music or theatre. * Applicant must have significant available time to work on major artistic projects. Rehearsals and other commitments are typically in the evenings and weekends. * Applicant must have had experience in music composition for theatre or dance and basic knowledge of sound design.

In addition to talent and ability, we are seeking an adventurous and generous artist that relishes the collaborative process and enjoys working with others in evolving environments. We want to have the largest impact on the community as possible, so we are looking for a composer who is at the "right time" in his/her growth to most benefit from the fellowship.

Complete and Total Spreads Awareness of Heroin Issue in Communities
by Kelly Miloro via NEohioPAL 09 Nov '16

09 Nov '16

*Complete and Total Spreads Awareness of Heroin Issue in Communities* *Geauga Lyric Theater: November 12 at 7pm* *Kent State/Geauga Branch campus November 16 at 7:30pm* *FREE ADMISSION* If you pay attention to the news, multiple overdose deaths are reported every day. In Ohio, in even our small communities, people are dying at a rate that alarms and saddens law officers and medical personnel. A common link between the tight-knit villages and big cities is that this problem is always seen as being in someone else’s back yard. Chardon and surrounding areas are not immune. Art sometimes helps to bridge the gap that exists between knowing and understanding. Because of this, several area businesses and groups are sponsoring *Complete and Total*, an original play by local playwright Greg Vovos, at Geauga Lyric Theater. Directed by Angela Miloro-Hansen, it follows the story of a high school student with a bright future ahead of him, but heroin and addiction quickly become his top priority. The Mind, the only sober part left of his brain, believes in his ability to become clean, but it’s not that simple. Performed by a small student cast, this production is offered to schools and other groups, as well as a public performance at Geauga Lyric Theater on November 12 at 7:00pm. The performance will be followed by a talk-back/question and answer period by several local professionals. Kent’s Geauga campus will also host a performance on November 16 at 7:30pm. *Complete and Total* will be offered to the public free of admission charge, thanks to the sponsors Walmart Foundation, New Vision at University Hospitals Medical Center, and Chardon Community Action Team. To book *Complete and Total* for your school or youth organization, please contact educationoutreach(a)geaugatheater.org <educationoutreach(a)geaugattheater.org>. . Geauga Lyric Theater is located on the beautiful Chardon Square at 101 Water Street. For more information about productions and educations, see our website at www.geaugatheater.org. -- Kelly Miloro GLTG Administrative Asst. 440-285-7701 officemgr(a)geaugatheater.org
