03 Nov '16

LAST CHANCE TO SEE WILD AND WONDROUS DARK COMEDY "LIKE I SAY" THIS THURSDAY, FRIDAY AND SATURDAY AT CONVERGENCE-CONTINUUM LIKE I SAY is a wild, weird and oddly comic whirlwind of a play with stories within stories, weird puppet shows, an Alpine zombie resort, and much, much more. A truly wild ride! A writer holed up in a run down seaside hotel tries to overcome a tragic accident by teasing a story out of himself. He's joined by a wildly bizarre band of hotel staff and guests (a tattoo artist, a slow-moving handyman, two sinister Russian puppeteers and their dancing rat, and the writer’s creation himself: Coconut Joe of Kokomo). The assembled band of misfits brings his weird and wondrous story to life, while creating a few wild ones of their own. LIKE I SAY is directed by Tyson Douglas Rand, and features actors Robert Branch, Robert Hawkes, Marcia Mandell, August Scarpelli, Linda Sekanic, Clyde Simon, Lauren B. Smith and Logan Smith. LIKE I SAY has its final three performances this Thurs-Sat at 8 pm through at the Liminis Theater, 2438 Scranton Rd, Cleveland 44113 in the historic Tremont neighborhood. Tickets are $15 general admission, $12 seniors (65+), $10 students. Reservations and information at http://convergence-continuum.org [1]and 216-687-0074. Play Your Part: SAVE THE LIMINIS THEATER. convergence-continuum faces the possibility of losing its artistic home. The Liminis Theater building is slated to be sold at the end of 2016. We're currently in the midst of a fund-raising campaign to buy and secure it for the company for the years to come.

by Cole Kornell via NEohioPAL 03 Nov '16

03 Nov '16

In need of a Motion Designer/VFX Artist for a Title Sequence (30-60 seconds) for a short film Me/Project: I'm Cole Kornell the Writer, Director, Editor, and Executive Producer of my student Thesis film, Unending Love, a story about the connection between two people in three different lifetimes and their struggle to stay together through obstacles from outside threats. I'm from Northeast Ohio and about to graduate from Ringling College of Art & Design majoring in Film. Concept:The idea is of universal proportions (literally). PART I takes place in the Cosmos with celestial beings made up of stars, galaxies, nebulas, and gases. With the concept that Love is bigger than all us and that this story is about these two beings. There's also an important quote or V.O. to start it off. PART II is the ending title sequence (still in the Cosmos) that then turns into credits. Also there's one shot in the third life (Future) where I would love for the sky to be replaced with an alien feel (as the characters are on another planet), such as other planets, moons, stars, spaceships or whatever may work. Quality: - I'd the like the work to be of 4K dimensions (3840 x 2160 pixels) - Made up of 3D & 2D work - Running Time est. 30-60 seconds of work - Exported file of 4K dimensions (ProRes, whatever is the best exported file for the film) Personal Note:I'm completely open to your thoughts and ideas for overall concept. I just have the general outline and what was written in the script. I would like for you to have creative freedom. Payment:This has a 1min running time and is for a low budget student film, so I would like to negotiate a price that is fair for the both of us. Contact:If interested please email Cole at kornelukfilm(a)gmail.com - Resume - Links to previous work - Anything else that is relevant Thank you very much and looking forward to hearing from you!

First review - RED - now playing at Weathervane Playhouse
by Todd Dieringer via NEohioPAL 02 Nov '16

02 Nov '16

Red A drama by John Logan<http://weathervaneplayhouse.com/red-2016-07-07> "Weathervane Playhouse offers a solid production about abstract art," says Cleveland Jewish News critic - read the full review here<http://www.clevelandjewishnews.com/news/culture/theater/weathervane-playhou…> Based on the real-life story of the American abstract expressionist painter Mark Rothko, Red reveals the dynamic tension between an artist and his works. The play begins in 1958, just as Rothko has been hired to create a series of enormous murals that will hang in the most exclusive room at the The Four Seasons, an elaborately posh restaurant set to open inside the Seagram Building in Midtown Manhattan. As Rothko prepares his large canvases, he barks orders at his young assistant Ken, and inbetween brushstrokes lectures his young protégé on his uncompromising philosophies of both art and life. But when Ken attains the confidence to challenge his teacher, Rothko must confront the agonizing possibility that his greatest achievement could prove to be his ultimate downfall. Red was first produced by the Donmar Warehouse in London in December 2009. The original production was directed by Michael Grandage and performed by Alfred Molina as Rothko and Eddie Redmayne as his fictional assistant Ken. The production, with its two leads, transferred to Broadway at the John Golden Theater for a limited engagement which began on March 11, 2010 and closed on June 27. It was the 2010 Tony Award winner for Best Play. Additionally, Redmayne won a 2010 Tony Award for Best Performance by a Featured Actor in a Play. Audience Advisory: Due to adult language and themes, this play is not suitable for children. PERFORMANCE SCHEDULE Thursdays - Nov. 3 and 10 - at 7:30 p.m. Fridays - Nov. 4 and 11 - at 7:30 p.m. Saturdays - Nov. 5 and 12 - at 7:30 p.m. PLUS Saturdays, Nov. 5 and 12 at 3:30 p.m. Sundays - Nov. 6 - at 2:30 p.m. BUY YOUR TICKETS ONLINE<https://www.choicesecure03.net/mainapp/eventschedule.aspx?clientID=weatherv…> Tickets $22 adults $20 for seniors on Thursdays and matinees only $11 for college students Red is presented through special arrangement with Dramatists Play Service.
