THEATER NINJAS presents "Adventure!"
by via NEohioPAL 07 Aug '15

07 Aug '15

Embark on Adventure Adventure is a workshop of interactive experiments that mix theater, puzzles, games and arduino gadgets to create surprising emergent narratives driven by the audience’s decisions. We're partnering with Tabletop Board Game Cafe to bring you a week long workshop full of game experiences that blur the boundaries between play, story and theatre. Borrowing from live interactive fiction and video games, (with a dash of Locked Room puzzles and tarot cards readings), these gaming experiments use the audience’s decisions and the human mind's agility for drawing connections to reveal and create stories. Audience ‘players’ will explore different modes of interaction in very different worlds that unveil and reconfigure story elements to generate new meanings. Importantly, there are no ‘actors’ in these experiments; the theater exists in each players’ experience. The workshop consists of three different ‘games’ that explore audience agency in different ways. Each game can be played in any order and played multiple times. These are works-in progress, so the audience can also give suggestions on how to develop each piece further. The goal of the workshop is discover new theatrical techniques that will make their way into future Theater Ninjas productions. Tickets for the Adventure workshop are $5 (Tabletop gaming fee) plus the roll of a 6-sided die (on a roll of ‘6’, players can keep the die). Become a daring gumshoe in 1940's Cleveland, explore the strange curios of a cursed estate, or glimpse endless futures in the cards. Take a chance on a new experience, and cross the threshold into Adventure from August 12 - 16. Created by Ryan Edlinger, Christopher Hisey, Ryan Lucas and Jeremy Paul Adventure workshop August 12-16, 2015 6-8pm on Wed-Fri 4-7pm on Sat & Sun Tickets: $5 + $1d6 Tabletop Board Game Cafe 1810 W. 25TH Cleveland, OH 44113

Cleveland Public Theatre announces Auditions for The Loush Sisters Love Dick’ns: Great Expectations
by Caitlin Lewins via NEohioPAL 06 Aug '15

06 Aug '15

Cleveland Public Theatre announces Auditions for The Loush Sisters Love Dick’ns: Great Expectations Created by Liz Conway, Michael Seevers, Jr. & Beth Wood Directed by Beth Wood Looking to cast… 2 – 3 funny women (over the age of 18) who can sing/carry a tune, move/shake your maracas, and don’t take themselves too seriously, to join the dysfunctional Loush Sisters. Specific characters will be created based on the actors cast. About the play… Fueled by booze, fairies, and “holiday cheer,” The Sisters are visited by ghosts of Christmases past, present and future that remind them how to make the Yuletide gay…er. Holly and Jolly Loush (aka The Loush Sisters) return to the stage for a bawdy, boozy holiday cabaret. Fueled by song, sidekicks and a hefty dose of “holiday cheer,” the Loush Sisters reinterpret A Christmas Carol as you’ve never, ever seen it before. About The Loush Sisters… Originally created in 2003 for a Cleveland Public Theatre special event, The Loush Sisters have become a favorite of CPT audiences, performing in 2011 at Playhouse Square’s 14th Street Theatre and in 2013 at CPT with The Loush Sisters DO the Nutcracker to critical acclaim. The brain children of Liz Conway, Michael Seevers, Jr. and Beth Wood, The Sisters are an unapologetically raunchy, lounge-singing duo. (Imagine Saturday Night Live’s Sweeney Sisters (1980’s) but raunchier & more inappropriate.) About the process… There may be a workshop period to develop material from September 16th – October 21st. There may be 1 – 2 rehearsals a week during this period for some cast members. Full rehearsals will begin October 26th with 5 – 6 rehearsals a week. Performances are December 5th – 22nd; Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays and Mondays in CPT’s Gordon Square Theatre. Auditions… Saturday 8/15: 1p-3p Auditions are by appointment only and will be conducted in a group setting. Auditioners must attend the full session. What to prepare… § 1-2 minute contemporary comedic monologue § 16 bars of a POP song; bring sheet music in your key (a cappella and CD accompaniment are acceptable) § Be ready to improvise as a member of the Loush Family § Dress appropriately for shimming-ing and movement § Bring your sense of humor and be prepared to play and have fun! To schedule an audition appointment, please email New Play Associate, Caitlin Lewins at clewins(a)cptonline.org<mailto:clewins@cptonline.org>. Be sure to include your name, email address, phone number and preferred audition date & time in your email. No phone calls please.

Back-To-School Theater - AUG 21, 22, 23: Manners Matter and Other Stuffy Life Lessons
by Kulture Kids Admin via NEohioPAL 06 Aug '15

06 Aug '15

*What Happened to The Golden Rule?* *Kulture Kids’ Original Children’s Theater Performance Shows Manners Matter* Children and their families are invited to journey with a zany (and not so polite) archaeologist in search of The Lost Temple of Ma’at, the Egyptian goddess of truth, justice, and civility. Ancient Egypt comes to life in a spectacle of magic, comedy, music, dance, and hieroglyphics that urges us all to remember our manners. This is a show you don’t want kids to miss! Kulture Kids’ newest original children’s theater production, *Ma’at is Missing: Deciphering Manners* addresses the seeming lack of civility, manners, and kindness in society today. The audience is tasked with helping a nutty professor discover and unravel clues to the Lost Temple of Ma’at and decipher the ancient hieroglyphics within that illustrate how we should treat one another. From simple etiquette when coughing or sneezing, to how we consider others’ thoughts and feelings before we speak, Ma’at is Missing guides children on an expedition to find out why our manners matter. Ma’at is Missing: Deciphering Manners will take the stage on August 21 at 7:00pm, August 22 at 3:00pm and 7:00pm, and August 23 at 7:00pm. A hands-on family art workshop is included in the ticket price and will take place 30 minutes before the start of each performance. A reception will follow the opening night performance. The performance will tour throughout September and October 2015 at branches of the Cuyahoga County Public Library. Additionally, schools, libraries, community centers, and other venues are encouraged to bring Ma’at to their venue by contacting Kulture Kids at schedule(a)kulturekids.org. Funding by CUYAHOGA ARTS AND CULTURE, THE GEORGE GUND FOUNDATION, and THE OHIO ARTS COUNCIL. *PERFORMANCE DETAILS* *DATES/TIMES* August 21 at 7:00PM, August 22 at 3:00PM & 7:00PM, August 23 at 3:00PM *LOCATION* Kultivation Theater, 2134 Lee Road, Cleveland Heights, 44118 *TICKETS* $10 each, includes performance and pre-show family arts workshop *AGES* This show is ideal for children between the ages of 4 and 10, but all children and adults are welcome. *ABOUT KULTURE KIDS* Founded by Robin Pease in 1999, Kulture Kids is a nonprofit dedicated to promoting and enhancing arts and cultural awareness for children through arts education programming.
