Mark Your Calendars! The Mac Wellman Homecoming Festival
by Playwrights Local via NEohioPAL 26 Oct '16

26 Oct '16

PLAYWRIGHTS LOCAL ANNOUNCES THE MAC WELLMAN HOMECOMING FESTIVAL COMING IN MARCH 2017! Playwrights Local announces *The Mac Wellman Homecoming Festival*, a three-day celebration of the widely renowned, groundbreaking playwright who was born and raised in Cleveland. Running March 23 through 25, 2017, the Festival provides long-overdue recognition of one of the city’s most-lauded literary products. Most events are free and do not require reservations, and will be held at Cleveland State University, a major partner in the event. Playwrights Local proudly welcomes Mr. Wellman himself to the proceedings, thanks in part to funding provided by the Northeast Ohio Master of Fine Arts (NEOMFA) creative writing program. As a playwright, Mac Wellman has been described as an “avatar of alternatives to the well-made play” (American Theatre) and “James Joyce reborn as a rap artist” (The New York Times). As a professor of playwriting, he has been praised by prominent former students as “a teacher who changed my life” (Annie Baker) who “explodes all the boundaries” (Sibyl Kempson) and “extends the limits of what’s possible on stage” (Sarah Ruhl). He has received multiple Obie awards along with NEA, Guggenheim, and Rockefeller fellowships; had hundreds of productions in the U.S., U.K., Europe, and Asia; and founded one of the country’s most prestigious Master of Fine Arts programs at Brooklyn College. The Festival is the first Cleveland-based event in honor of this tireless theatrical innovator, who moonlights as an accomplished writer of poetry and fiction. The Mac Wellman Homecoming Festival features *productions and readings of classic plays* *including **Cleveland, Bitter Bierce, Harm’s Way, and The Sandalwood Box*. There will be *a Q&A with the playwright, an exhibit of memorabilia, a panel discussion, and an open wrap party*. Special sessions include *Bad Scenes**, a collection of short plays by local writers* responding to a signature Wellman exercise. Additional *partners for this event are Cleveland State University’s Department of English and Michael Schwartz Library. Along with Playwrights Local, performers include Theater Ninjas, convergence-continuum, Baldwin Wallace University Department of Theatre and Dance, and Cleveland State University Department of Theatre and Dance*. The Festival was curated by David Todd, Artistic Director of Playwrights Local in Cleveland. The Festival’s primary locations will be Drinko Hall and the Michael Schwartz Library, both on the campus of Cleveland State University (2121 Euclid Ave, Cleveland, OH 44115). All events at those locations are free and open to the public, with no tickets or reservations required. Tickets for the March 25 performance of Harm’s Way at The Liminus can be purchased through convergence-continuum at http://www.convergence-continuum.org/. A final gathering at The Tremont Tap House also will be free. *Complete information, including a schedule and a Mac Wellman press pack, is available on the Festival website at http://playwrightslocal.org/mac-wellman-homecoming-festival/ <http://playwrightslocal.org/mac-wellman-homecoming-festival/>. * “Mac Wellman is the present-day experimental theatre’s wily uncle,” says Clyde Simon, Artistic Director of convergence-continuum. “His plays are roller-coaster rides across this strange landscape we call America, and the Mac Fest is a rare chance for us all to hop on.” CONTACT Tom Hayes Managing Director Playwrights Local (216) 302-8856 hayes(a)playwrightslocal.org

Has unfulfilled dreams of the great big world outside of central Pennsylvania. (Age: 25-35) DUNCAN WOOLEY: Local minister, engaged to Meg. A good man, but fussy, headstrong, egocentric. (Age: 40-45) DOC MYERS: Local doctor, Chief Moose, likeable curmudgeon, boisterous, stocky, father to Butch. (Age: 50's) LEO and JACK: Since they cross-dress as women, they must be clean-shaven in time for opening night :). Both must have great English accents. LEO CLARK: A Shakespearean actor, marginally gifted, charming yet mildly pompous, prone to temper tantrums, longs to achieve stardom. (Age: 35-45) JACK GABLE: A Shakespearean actor, easily dragged into Leo's harebrained schemes, nice guy, longs to settle down. (Age: 35-45) AUDREY: Extremely sweet and good-natured, an "intelligent airhead." Audrey roller-skates.

(Age: Early 20's) FLORENCE SNIDER: Meg's aunt, an extremely crusty lady, terrible eyesight, wealthy, wily, ailing... or hypochondriac?

26 Oct '16

*FREE PLAYWRITING WORKSHOPS* *SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 5* *Offered by Playwrights Local* *& The Dramatists Guild of Ohio* Join Playwrights Local and The Dramatists Guild (Ohio Region) for a pair of free workshops in “Alternative Modes for Practicing Playwrights” on Saturday, November 5, from 11:00am to 3:30pm. Both sessions will be presented as part of Playwrights Local's *2nd Annual Cleveland Playwrights Festival <http://playwrightslocal.org/2nd-annual-cleveland-playwrights-festival/> *at the Creative Space at Waterloo Arts <https://www.google.com/maps/place/397+E+156th+St,+Cleveland,+OH+44110/@41.5…> . Registration is not required, but is recommended. Click on the links below to reserve your spot in each session. Classes are intended for adults and teens. 11:00 am *"Podcasting: New Opportunities in Dramatic Storytelling" <http://playwrightslocal.org/events/workshop-podcasting-new-opportunities-dr…>* *Led by Justin Glanville & Angie Hayes* In this presentation, writer Justin Glanville and sound designer Angie Hayes talk about creating the scripted audio drama Munchen, Minnesota. They’ll share stories about writing in an audio-only, serialized format, as well as how they cast, record and sound-design each episode. 1:30 pm *"Crafting the Screenplay: Three-act Structure" <http://playwrightslocal.org/events/workshop-crafting-screenplay-three-act-s…>* *Led by Simone Barros* One of the building blocks of the screenwriting craft is the three-act structure. In this workshop, novice screenwriters gain a deep understanding of that structure--including the inciting incident, climax, and dénouement--while more experienced screenwriters enhance their creative problem-solving techniques. For playwrights, this workshop serves as a great way to step into screenwriting, as the craft of playwriting directly translates into the form.

Tickets are also available 60-minutes prior to performances at the Allen Theatre Complex. CSU Students, Faculty and Staff can purchase one $5.00 ticket per Valid CSU ID presented at time of in person purchase. The Story The laugh-out-loud musical tells the story of a recent college grad named Princeton who moves into a shabby New York apartment all the way out on Avenue Q. He soon discovers that although the residents seem nice, it's clear that this is not your ordinary neighborhood. Together, Princeton and his new-found friends struggle to find jobs, dates, and their ever-elusive purpose in life. Winner of the Tony Award for Best Musical, Best Score and Best Book, Avenue Q is part flesh, part felt, and packed with heart. Filled with gut-busting humor and a delightfully catchy score, Avenue Q is a truly unique show that has quickly become a favorite for audiences everywhere. The zany, irreverent musical is directed by CSU Associate Professor Russ Borski, and music directed by Maria DiDonato. It was conceived by Robert Lopez and Jeff Marx, who together wrote the music and lyrics, with book by Jeff Whitty. Warning: mature themes explored through poly-foam puppetry! The Cast The Avenue Q cast includes Jeremy Adkins (Male Bad Idea Bear/Ricky), Cheyenne Bizon (Lucy/Mrs. Thistletwat), Sarah Blubaugh (Kate Monster), Nick Earl (Nicky), Alexa Fatheringham (Christmas Eve), Frank Ivancic (Rod), Zavier McLean (Princeton), Brooke Morrison (Female Bad Idea Bear/Newcomer), Stephen Noreck (Trekkie Monster), Tim Parks (Brian), and Kim Simbeck (Gary Coleman).
