Canal Fulton Players- Performances for Death on the Canal will be on June 19
by via NEohioPAL 13 Jun '16

13 Jun '16

The Canal Fulton Players are proud to present the original murder mystery comedy, Death on the Canal, by David Van Gaasbeek, who is also producing the play, on June 18-19, 25-26 at 6:00 pm at the Canalways Center, the Canal Fulton Park towpath, Lock 4 Park, and the St. Helena III. This play is presented in a dinner theatre boat ride format in which the audience eats a fine meal prepared by the Canal Grille Restaurant and then enjoys the play which is performed on the walkways of the Canalways Center the Canal Fulton Park towpath, Lock IV Park, and the St. Helena III. The play is performed as the boat sails down the canal, pulled by our two good friends, Dan and Willie. The play starts as relatives and employee...s of Mason Robinson, an eccentric but wealthy inventor in the automotive and electronics industries, gather for the will reading after Mason’s untimely and rather tragic death. The relatives are a motley crew of sinners and the employees are not much better. One can see why they are not very well liked by their now deceased relative or employer. After all are seated by the head housekeeper for the will reading, the attorney walks in to the room only to discover that there is no will. When he presses the head housekeeper for answers, she states that she is to do only one thing. When she does it, much to the shock of all, Mason Robinson appears as a hologram. Full of venom and vitriol, he tells everyone why they are there and why he will get his revenge on them. There is no will because he has hidden the entire estate’s assets on a canal boat in Canal Fulton, Ohio. Now, it is up to the relatives, the attorney and the employees to discover the clues that he has left to determine the location and the identity of the treasure as they sail down the canal. Sounds simple, right? Not really. The major problem is that Mason is constantly taunting and ridiculing them as they make their search. Fearful of being killed, all of them are determined to find the treasure and escape the horrible deaths they think that he has planned. Starring as Mason Robinson is David Van Gaasbeek, the playwright. He is supported by Geri Marken as Ivy Robinson-Weaver, Mason’s scattered brained niece, Jennifer Neal as Amanda Robinson-Miller, his other scattered brained niece, Charles Bonakoski as Allan Weaver, Ivy’s lazy and meek husband, Gabriel Chuna as Morris Miller, Amanda’s sleazy husband who is a movie producer, Melanie Snier as Lesly Johnson, Morris’ new prodigy and meal ticket, Sean Wirfel as Isadore Manuel, Mason’s dishonest pool boy, Madison Witte as Violet Buford, Mason’s loyal and efficient personal secretary, Zach Donahue as Ephram Blair, the attorney who is called to read the non-existent will, and Sharon Nolan as Victoria, the loyal housekeeper in the tradition of Downton Abbey. The play will be performed on June 18-19, 25-26 at 6:00 pm with the dinner starting the program at 6:00 pm. The location is at the Canalways Center, 125 Tuscarawas Street West, Canal Fulton, Ohio. Tickets for the dinner, boat ride, and performance can be purchased by calling 330-854-6835. The total cost is $37.00. Come and see an original murder mystery comedy which will scare you while you laugh out loud.

Canal Fulton Players- Auditions for Taming of the Shrew June 21-22
by via NEohioPAL 13 Jun '16

13 Jun '16

Auditions for The Taming of the Shrew are on June 21-22 at 7:00 pm at Community Connections, 2381 South Locust Street (Rear), Canal Fulton, Ohio Two sisters, one a sweet innocent girl, while the other is an obnoxious, demanding, and unpleasing person. The problem is that the sweet, innocent girl is the youngest and the only way she can wed one of her many suitors is to get someone to marry her older obnoxious sister. That problem is compounded when no one, and I mean no one, wants the honor of taking the older sister’s hand in marriage. That is until one of the suitors remembers that there is an obnoxious and demanding man who lives in the hinterlands. The suitors summon this unlikely person to come to tow...n and woo the older sister, who is very determined to spurn his advances. Thus, in a nutshell, is the plot to The Taming of the Shrew, by William Shakespeare. The Canal Fulton Players will be holding auditions on June 21 and 22 at Community Connections, 2381 South Locust Street (Rear), Canal Fulton, Ohio for this absolutely raucous comedy which will be performed on August 20-21, 27-28 on the St. Helena III. The auditions are open and all persons wishing a part should be prepared to read from the script. The auditions will be from 7:00 to 8:30 pm at Canalways Center. The director is David Van Gaasbeek. For more information, please call Mr. Van Gaasbeek either at 330-494-1022 or 330-854-4387.

But tonight he has to save four doomed campaigns, his own disintegrating marriage, and fend off an FBI investigation — with no one to help him but eager intern Daphne. And he’s stuck at Gate C19 of Cleveland Hopkins Airport. A no-holds-barred look at how we choose our elected officials (and every other product) in our winner-take-all-world. *“Eric Coble’s hilariously funny, psychologically astute portraits hit home with rib-tickling acuity.” -The New York Times"Eric Coble’s ‘Margin of Error’ captures the mayhem of political campaigning, almost too well." -Idaho Statesman* *The Night Thoreau Spent in Jail*. By Robert Edwin Lee & Jerome Lawrence . Directed by Celeste Cosentino *November 18th-December 11th* "If the law is of such a nature that it requires you to be an agent of injustice to another, then I say, break the law." So wrote the young Henry David Thoreau in 1849. Three years earlier, Thoreau had put his belief into action and refused to pay taxes because of the United States government's involvement in the Mexican War, which he firmly believed was unjust. For his daring and unprecedented act of protest, he was thrown in jail. The Night Thoreau Spent in Jail is a celebrated dramatic presentation of this famous act of civil disobedience and it's consequences. It's poignant, lively and accessible scenes offer a compelling exploration of Thoreau's philosophy and life. *"Absolutely fascinating...

[Joseph] adroitly shows how power dynamics can turn on a dime." -TheaterMania.com. "Joseph has a gift for penetrating to the depths of human nature.
