But Holly has little interest in a future without heroin, despite her love for Jack. Looming over all these characters is the Gravedigger who has the unfortunate task of burying the dead.

Auditions for North Coast Men's Chorus, Sunday, September 13
by via NEohioPAL 03 Sep '15

03 Sep '15

YOU DO IT IN THE CAR. YOU DO IT IN THE CLOSET. YOU DO IT IN THE SHOWER. COME AND DO IT WITH US! We know you're out there! You are that guy who enjoys singing, but for some reason, you just haven't made the decision to join the North Coast Men's Chorus and sing with us on stage. Now is the time to change all of that! We are holding auditions and first rehearsal for our exciting 28th season on Sunday, September 13 at 6:00 p.m. These auditions are for our holiday concert on December 5 & 6 at the Hanna Theatre at Playhouse Square! If you can't make that date (but really try because we have treats the first night!), additional audition dates are September 20 and 27. NCMC AUDITIONS SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 20, & 27 AT 6:00 CHURCH OF THE ASCENSION 13216 DETROIT AVENUE, LAKEWOOD What do you need to be a member of NCMC? It's really pretty simple. We are looking for men who have a passion for singing, some level of musicality, a good voice, movement skills (Do you know what jazz hands are?), openness, teamwork and a positive attitude, and a commitment to our mission of presenting high quality musical entertainment for diverse audiences; promoting a positive influence within and beyond the gay community; and providing a supportive environment for its members and participants. Whatever your skills, all we ask is that you embrace singing in all styles. And, you don't have to be gay, just an ally. The "Audition Process" So, what do you need to prepare for your audition? Nothing really. You'll meet with Rich Cole, Artistic Director, and he will have you sing some scales, match some pitches and determine what section of the chorus your voice is best suited for. It is a pretty painless process and you'll be on your way to performing on-stage with the Chorus! Rehearsals We have rehearsals every Sunday evening from 7:00 - 9:30 at Church of the Ascension, 13216 Detroit Avenue, Lakewood. Singers are expected to arrive by 6:45 pm to greet their friends and settle in so rehearsal can begin on time. As we get closer to the concert, rehearsals will start a little earlier at 6:30. The Chorus also holds a "mini-retreat" on a Saturday during each concert preparation period. These are scheduled months in advance, and the dates can always be found on the Members' website calendar. Production Week rehearsals are also required, and attendance is expected at dress rehearsals and tech rehearsals. Additional rehearsals are required of the dancers, but they all say that extra time is more fun than work! Attendance Attendance is expected at all rehearsals, but we realize that everyone has a busy life. When absences are necessary, it is expected members will contact their Section Leader (in advance where possible) to report their absence. Membership Dues and Other Expenses Membership dues are an important part of the Chorus budget. Dues are $150 for the season, or just $125 if you pay dues for the whole season by November 1. While we rely on membership dues to help pay our bills, we do not want to exclude talented, dedicated singers because of inability to pay dues. Please communicate with our Treasurer or Business Manager if finances are an issue. Payment plans are available and no one will be turned away because of inability to pay. Members are responsible for acquiring their own basic black tuxedo, shirt, cummerbund and bow tie. Occasionally there might be an additional fee for a shirt or accessory rental. Tell Me More! So you think you are interested and you're asking yourself..."How can I get more information?" Call the NCMC hotline at 216-556-0590 or e-mail us at membership(a)ncmchorus.org

Thank you for your interest in the Standardized Patient (SP) program at the Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine. SPs portray patients in cases which are used to train our student doctors in Communication Skills. SPs also present as themselves in Physical Diagnosis sessions. Special Project SPs work a more varied schedule with other caregivers here at CCF. We are located in the Lerner Research Institute on the main Cleveland Clinic campus near University Circle in a dynamic professional and educational environment. - We have sessions every week during the academic year (September to May), along with Special Projects which occur on various dates. - SP work is dependent upon which cases we use and whether any of the patient profiles in those cases match up with your profile. (That is why it is not necessary to be available *every* Tuesday or Wednesday as this is intermittent part-time work.) Special Project hours are varied. - We will invite you to participate in a specific session(s). You are welcome to say Yes or No. *Communication Skills Simulations* These sessions occur on various Tuesday and/or Wednesday afternoons. *You will not be needed all Tuesday or Wednesday afternoons; you will be invited to specific Tuesday and/or Wednesday afternoons. * Special Projects vary in needs and dates. In order to participate in Communication Skills simulations, you must memorize the character profile of a particular patient. You will be given all information that is necessary either before or at the training. You will not be required to wear a hospital gown or have a physical diagnosis examination. *Training for Communication Skills* We have a 2-hour training session that accompanies *each* of the Communication Skills cases. The timing of the training session varies, but it is most often on the Monday or Thursday of the week before the simulation event. You will be paid for this training. *Physical Diagnosis Simulations* These sessions occur on various Wednesday afternoons from 12:45 p.m. until 5:00 p.m. For this type of session, you must wear a hospital gown, but you are welcome to wear your own sports clothing (shorts, and for women, sports bra or tank top with skinny straps) underneath. There is no character profile to memorize and no training for this type of session. *Special Projects* cover various simulations, e.g., a concerned parent of a child who is a patient, a difficult patient, a patient who has just received bad news. It may be to portray a patient or family member in a sim that is live in the hospital, or that is needed in a video. There are many different types of Special Projects. *Pay* You will be paid $20.00 to $23.00 per hour as an independent contractor. You will not be an employee of the Cleveland Clinic. *Parking* Parking is provided in the garage located directly across the sky-way from the College in Lerner on main campus, or for Special Projects, the garage closest to that location. A parking validation ticket will be given to you at each training and simulation in which you participate at the College, or for Special Projects, you will be reimbursed through your invoice at project completion. *If you are interested, please e-mail answers for each of the following requests to the email address listed below for your last name:* - Name - Age *and *Date of birth (We cast within a 10-year time frame of your actual age.) - Contact information (home phone and cell phone) - Availability - The type of simulation in which you would like to participate - Communication Skills, Physical Diagnosis, or both.
