Review of “Tall Skinny Cruel Cruel Boys,” performed by Theater Ninjas
by Bob Abelman via NEohioPAL 08 Nov '15

08 Nov '15

‘Tall Skinny Cruel Cruel Boys’ an intriguing but indecisive psychodrama Bob Abelman Cleveland Jewish News, The News Herald, The Morning Journal Member, International Association of Theatre Critics Franklin Delano Roosevelt famously said, “The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.” Not according to a recent Time magazine survey, which reported that most people also fear cyber-terrorism, bio-warfare, and public speaking. Topping the list is the fear of clowns. Tapping this particular trigger of anxiety and cold sweats is Cleveland native Caroline V. McGraw’s psychodrama “Tall Skinny Cruel Cruel Boys,” performed by Theater Ninjas at Near West Lofts in Gordon Square. The clown in question is a damaged and disturbed young woman named Brandy (a hauntingly detached and lissome Rachel Lee Kolis), who performs at children’s parties when not mindlessly succumbing to their Dads’ sexual advances (Val Kozlenko) in the bathrooms and seducing high school boys (Bryon Tobin) in her bedroom.

Ensemble Presents Sam Shepard's AGES OF THE MOON. Opens Friday!
by Ensemble Theatre via NEohioPAL 08 Nov '15

08 Nov '15

Ensemble Theatre continues its 36th MainStage Season with *Sam Shepard's *wickedly funny play... *AGES OF THE MOON.* Directed by *Stephen Vasse-Hansell. * Give thanks with Ensemble Theatre as we present this NE Ohio Premiere from American Master Sam Shepard. Byron and Ames are old friends, reunited after a desperate phone call. Over bourbon on ice, they sit, reflect and bicker until fifty years of love, friendship and rivalry are put to the test at the barrel of a gun. A powerful play about love, aging and the things we don't say to each other. At once raucously funny and heartbreakingly poetic, Ages of the Moon reaches down into our collective guts and touches the humanity, joy and pain we all experience. "A poignant and honest continuation of themes that have always been present in the work of one of this country's most important dramatists, here reconsidered in the light and shadow of time passed." *-NY Times.* "The back and forth between the two is classic Sam Shepard—a mixture of humor, hostility and something that is at once folksy and dark. The language is pure poetry that seems to wrap up the characters in a strange, solitary song that is all their own. The tension between the desolation of the present and their dueling reminiscences of a rich past seems to cast Ames and Bryon into a universe that is limitless and lonely—their voices their only refuge against the encroaching, infinite darkness." *-DC Theatre Scene. * *With and Amazing cast of CLEVELAND actors! * *Allan Byrne* *as Ames. *Allen Branstein *as Bryon **(Member of Actors' Equity Association) * *Production Team:* *Production Stage Manager: *Becca Moseley *Lighting Design: *Steven Barton *Set Design/Technical Director: *Stephen Vasse-Hansell *Sound Design: *Stephen Vasse-Hansell & Ian Hinz.

Irving Berlin's "White Christmas" Opens November 13-22!
by dave banks via NEohioPAL 08 Nov '15

08 Nov '15

The Walsh Jesuit High School CenterStage Theatre will present Irving Berlin’s “White Christmas,” November 13, 14, 15, 20, 21 and 22. Friday and Saturday performances are at 7:30 pm; Saturday and Sunday matinees are at 2:00 pm. The music and lyrics are by Irving Berlin and the show is based upon the Paramount Pictures film written for the screen by Norman Krasna, Norman Panama and Melvin Frank. The book is by David Ives and Paul Blake. The story has veterans Bob Wallace and Phil Davis, who perform a successful song-and-dance act after World War II. With romance in mind, the two follow a duo of beautiful singing sisters en route to their Christmas show at a Vermont lodge, which just happens to be owned by Bob and Phil's former army commander. The dazzling score features well known standards including Blue Skies, I Love A Piano, How Deep Is the Ocean and the perennial favorite, White Christmas. WHITE CHRISTMAS is an uplifting musical that the entire family can enjoy. This is the same book that was recently on National Tour. We have a cast of 34, a crew of 25, and a 22-piece live orchestra! David Banks directs the show, and has been with CenterStage Theatre for 15 years. Tickets are only $12 for adults and $8 for students and Senior Citizens, and they are on sale at www.walshjesuit.org. <http://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.walshjesuit.org%2F&h=UAQEelT…> Walsh Jesuit High School 4550 Wyoga Lake Road Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio 44224 Contact Phone: 330-929-4205 Purchase tickets: http://www.walshjesuit.org/component/civicrm/?task=civicrm/event/info&reset…

by Jonathan Kronenberger via NEohioPAL 07 Nov '15

07 Nov '15

Beck Center for the Arts Youth Theater, one of the oldest continuously running Youth and Teen Theaters in the country, will be holding auditions on November 21 & 22, 2015 for the third production of our 67th Anniversary Season: Bright Ideas Written by Eric Coble Directed by Jonathan Kronenberger The Story: How far would you go for your child? For Genevra and Joshua Bradley, the question is no longer hypothetical. Their three-year-old son, Mac, is next on the waiting list to get into the Bright Ideas Early Childhood Development Academy-and everyone knows once you're in there, your life will unfold with glorious ease. Josh and Gen have had to scramble all their lives to get this far...and now they are one fatal dinner party away from the ultimate success as parents: The Right Pre-School. You may never look at pre-school-or pesto-the same way again... Audition/Callback dates: (open to Beck Center students ages 12 to 19*) Saturday, November 21: 2:30 to 4:30pm & Sunday, November 22: 1:00 to 3:00pm Callbacks: Monday, November 23 from 5:30 to 8:00pm Starting Saturday, November 7, you may sign up for a one-hour audition slot at Beck Center Customer Service or by calling 216-521-2540 x10. *Please note: Youth Theater roles are only eligible to students who will be enrolled in our Winter/Spring 2016 semester. Actors do not necessarily need to be enrolled at the time of the auditions, however, participation in the actual production does require Beck Center enrollment. Students do not need to be specifically enrolled in a Theater class at Beck Center to qualify. Students who will be enrolled in a Winter/Spring 2016 semester class in Beck Center's Dance, Music and Visual Arts Departments are equally eligible. Bottom line: if you are accepting a role in the show, you will need to enroll prior to the start of rehearsals. However, classes are already filling up! Any questions, please feel free to contact Jonathan Kronenberger, Associate Director of Theater Education, at 216-521-2540 x27. Unlike some other youth theaters, there is NO additional participation fee required beyond enrollment. What to Prepare: Students are asked to prepare a short monologue of no longer than one minute to present as their audition piece. Memorization is encouraged. Potential Rehearsals: January 4 - February 19, 2016 * Mon, Tues, Weds, Thurs, Fridays: between 5:30 - 8:30pm * Saturdays: between 2:30 - 5:30pm * Sundays: between 1:00-4:00pm We will NOT be rehearsing every day or the full time range listed. The director will pick the days that best accommodate everyone's schedules - once we know conflicts and availability for the above dates. Tech Week: February 21 - 25, 2016 Sunday between 1:00 - 9:00pm and Weekdays between 5:00 - 9:30pm All cast members are expected to attend ALL rehearsals during Tech Week. We may not need full times listed above.
