OPEN THEATRE AUDITIONS for What We're Up Against by Theresa Rebeck September 6 & 7 at 6 p.m. Kent State University at Stark Fine Arts Theatre 6000 Frank Avenue NW North Canton, Ohio 44720 The Kent State University at Stark Theatre has announced open auditions for the first theatrical production of the season, What We're Up Against by Theresa Rebeck, and directed by Kent State Stark Associate Professor of Theatre and Theatre Director Brian Newberg. Auditions are open to everyone, including students and community persons. We encourage diversity in our casting. What We're Up Against features Eliza, an intelligent and impetuous female associate at a male-dominated architecture firm, who challenges boundaries and sexist rules in her dog-eat-dog profession. Watch as she takes a whack at outdated office politics to break through the glass ceiling, and rocks the architecture world to its core in this in-your-face dark comedy. Auditions will be held on September 6 and 7 at 6 p.m. in the Fine Arts Theatre, 6000 Frank Avenue NW in Jackson Township. Roles are available for two women and three men. No children. Those auditioning may perform a prepared monologue, if they wish, and the director may also choose sides (selected scene excerpts) to perform. The production will be performed November 11 - 20 in the Kent State Stark Theatre. Rehearsals will begin September 12, and will occur five evenings a week until opening. Scripts are available for perusal for periods up to 24 hours from the Fine Arts secretary (330-244-5151), Monday through Friday, during business hours (8 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.). The campus will be closed on September 5, in observance of the holiday. Audition appointments are recommended, but not required. Scripts will also be available in the reserve area of the Stark Campus Library.

This year's script, entitled "Telethon of Trouble and The Blossomtini" is penned by newcomers Carol Dolan and Marianne Veniero (a member of CVLT's RSVP in-house improv troupe). Director Kourtney Daugherty brings the show to the stage. The dastardly plot involves a fictional CVLT telethon, with an array of scheming theater executives, local notables, and con artists serving as the phone screeners. The titular "Blossomtini" is a popular cocktail with a recipe worth committing a crime over. Several area bars and restaurants will be featuring their own "Blossomtini" cocktails in honor of the event - if you try one, you'll be able to vote for your favorite at the event! The suspicious cast features Cleveland's own Jan Jones as "Joan Johns," along with CVLT regulars Kris Tesar, Michael Rogan, Eric Oswald, Don Bernardo, Brianna Arko, Elyse Mulvaney, Claire Mulvaney, and Emma Moughan. Cristy Wright and Steven R.

Short Horror Film - Synesthesia
by Tom Loveman via NEohioPAL 26 Aug '16

26 Aug '16

Greetings from Hollywood! “Synesthesia,” the short horror film I wrote and produced this spring, was just honored with a screening as an official selection of the Nightpiece International Film Festival, part of the Edinburgh Fringe 2016 art festival in Edinburgh, Scotland. You can learn more about the film and watch the trailer at http://www.synesthesiafilm.com <http://www.synesthesiafilm.com/>. Due to film festival restrictions, the entire film cannot be screened publicly online in it’s entirety yet. I will share it with you once we’ve cleared the festival circuit and/or hopefully we can get it screened in Cleveland at a festival in the near future. Just want to add, that I miss Cleveland a lot. Appreciate how great you have it there.
