Auditions for Rabbit Run Theater's and Lake Erie College's Studio Series
by RRCAA via NEohioPAL 09 Aug '16

09 Aug '16

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - Rabbit Run Theater and Lake Erie College hold auditions for first two shows of 2016-17 The Studio Series As part of the 2016 - 2017 collaborative season, The Studio Series, Lake Erie College Department of Theatre and Rabbit Run Theater announce open auditions for the upcoming productions of "Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike" and "Almost Maine". "Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike" written by Christopher Durang is directed by Ann Hedger, Programming Coordinator at The Fine Arts Association. "Almost Maine" by John Cariani is directed by Dr. Jerry C. Jaffe, Associate Professor of Theatre, Lake Erie College. Auditions are Monday, Aug. 15, and Tuesday, Aug. 16, at 6:30 p.m. both nights at the Royce Hall for the Fine and Performing Arts on the campus of Lake Erie College (off of Gillett St. in Painesville). Chekhov is alive and well in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, in "Vanua and Sonia and Masha and Spike". Adult siblings Vanya and Sonia reside in their old family home, mourning their lost dreams and missed opportunities. When their often-wrong, fortune-telling maid warns of impending dangers, and their movie star sister, Masha, arrives unexpectedly with young, sexy, boy toy, Spike, the family is launched into a rollicking weekend of one-upmanship, exposed nerves, and a lot of broken mugs. With wit and absurdity, Christopher Durang's Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike blends Chekhov's famous ennui with the modern-day toils and troubles of celebrity, social networking, and age into a laugh-out-loud comedy. On a cold, clear, moonless night in the middle of winter, all is not quite what it seems in the remote, mythical town of Almost, Maine. As the northern lights hover in the star-filled sky above, Almost's residents find themselves falling in and out of love in unexpected and often hilarious ways. Knees are bruised. Hearts are broken. But the bruises heal, and the hearts mend-almost-in this delightful midwinter night's dream. Auditions will consist of readings from the script. No monologue need be prepared. Performance dates are Oct. 13 through Oct. 23 for "Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike" and Nov. 11 through Nov. 20 for "Almost Maine". All performances are at the C.K. Rickel Theatre in the Royce Hall for the Fine and Performing Arts on the campus of Lake Erie College, 391 West Washington St., Painesville, OH. Access to the theater is off of Gillette St. in Painesville. To confirm an audition, call Rabbit Run Community Arts Association at 440-428-5913. The Studio Series is made possible in part by funding through the National Endowment for the Arts and the Ohio Arts Council. Karen Ziegler Director of Marketing/Group Sales Rabbit Run Theater P. O.

NYC's Mystery Lights & Vanity Crash - Sun Aug 14, 8:30 - Beachland Tavern
by Dennis Van Crash via NEohioPAL 09 Aug '16

09 Aug '16

Vanity Crash will be rockin' with an excellent band from NYC, The Mystery Lights this Sunday, August 14 at 8:30 at the Beachland Tavern. This is going to be an outstanding show. Below is a bit about them. The Mystery Lights - Garage Rock | New York NY In an era when the city kvetches that there’re no good NYC bands, when half of the music scene has split for sunny California, the Mystery Lights are an anomaly. Not only did these bold young men reverse the direction – optimistically migrating east against the tide from the west coast, but they also landed in the wormy apple to immerse themselves in the action and diversity of New York City. They all share a Ridgewood apartment in Queens, playing music and recording in their basement. Betting against the odds to live the archetypical 20th century downtown musician lifestyle in 2016, though inevitably further east of the bridge, they also play with the kind of conviction, immediacy, and raw power of their mighty ancestors – from the Velvets to the Voidoids and beyond. The Mystery Lights are living proof that vital contemporary music, in this case real-deal rock’n’roll, can still be dreamed, constructed, and performed in the Empire City. Vanity Crash will be performing a song from our latest release that we have never played out live before, plus we are going to play a song from our first release that we haven't played in four years. And as always we will be tapping into that unique rock era of 70's glam giving our spin on the sounds of Velvet Underground, T-Rex, Mott the Hoople, Lou Reed, and David Bowie. Be a young dude, carry the news and join us. Show starts at 8:30pm. Good beer, drinks, friendly people and the best entertainment in the world. ================================ Sunday, August 14, 8:30pm - $10 - All Ages Beachland Tavern 15711 Waterloo Rd, Cleveland, OH 44110 (216) 383-1124 ================================ Vanity Crash has some great merchandise.
