Sister Mary and Actor's Nightmare open Friday April 10th!
by Doug Tennant via NEohioPAL 07 Apr '15

07 Apr '15

*Gilda Shedstecker Presents!* a Christopher Durang double feature. Opening April 10, we pair the one-act plays *The Actor’s Nightmare *with *Sister Mary Ignatius Explains It All For You*. GSP! last performed Durang with *Baby with the Bathwater* two seasons ago. GSP! is delighted beyond words to empower Jacki Dietz in her directorial debut with *The Actor’s Nightmare*, a comic exploration of that moment every actor has experienced: the dread dream of going on stage and having no clue what the show is! With the marvelous ensemble cast of Benjamin Seeley, Ellen Fox, Patrice Rittenhouse, Linda Alexander-Radak, and Roman Feemster, and stage managed by Dana Marshall, the foibles and flubs of* The* *Actor’s Nightmare* will leave the audience gasping with laughter. Following is director Doug Tennant’s *Sister Mary Ignatius Explains It All For You*, featuring Joey Anderson, Benjamin Seeley, Jacki Dietz, Tiffeny Brown, and Roman Feemster, and starring Holly Barstow Riley as the nun who has the answer to all life’s problems. If the children are unhappy it’s because they didn’t follow her simple rules! A comedy like no other, *Sister Mary* has been called Durang’s most ferociously funny work and was a film starring Diane Keaton. Stage manager is Linda Alexander-Radak. The shows open April 10 and run the 11, 17, and 18 for four performances at the Kathleen Howland Theatre, 324 Cleveland Ave NW, Canton, OH 44702. Tickets $10 each, available online at secondapril.org or call : 330-451-0924. Parental discretion is advised.

Auditions (PAID) for 'The Devil's Milk: Goosetown', new musical workshop at CATAC in Akron.
by JT via NEohioPAL 06 Apr '15

06 Apr '15

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE April 6, 2015 Contact: James Slowiak nwplab(a)gmail.com 330-867-3299 The Center for Applied Theatre and Active Culture (CATAC) and New World Performance Laboratory (NWPL) seek NON-EQUITY actors (PAID) for the development of a new musical, “Goosetown,” written and directed by JT Buck. “Goosetown” is the second part of CATAC/NWPL’s “The Devil’s Milk Trilogy.” When: Saturday, April 18th at 2PM Sunday, April 19th at 6PM Where: The Balch Street Theatre 220 South Balch Street Akron, Ohio 44302 Contact: Email JT Buck at buckjam(a)gmail.com Performance Dates: We will present TWO weekends of ‘open rehearsals’ this summer. Actors will be asked to rehearse for approximately 3 weeks prior to EACH weekend of ‘open rehearsals.’ Rehearsal schedule will be written in collaboration with artist availability. Open Weekend One: June 19-21. 8PM Friday and Saturday, 2PM Sunday. Open Weekend Two: August 14-16. 8PM Friday and Saturday, 2PM Sunday. Available Roles Female Characters: - The Lady: 50s. German immigrant, proprietor of prosperous local brewery. In early stages of Alzheimer’s. - The Woman: 20s-40s. The Boy’s mother. Sensual, capricious. Male Characters: - The Man: 20’s. Tall, Strong, rugged. - The Boy: Early to mid-teens. Precocious and intelligent - The Baron: 40s-50s. Wealthy, relentless entrepreneur Gender-Flexible/Age-flexible - Pigmeat: African-American. Seen by others as the local eccentric, wandering the streets selling small wares and singing strange songs. But of course, there’s more. How to Prepare: 1. If you can play a musical instrument with intermediate proficiency or higher, please bring it! (This is not a casting requirement, just a plus!) 2. Please come dressed comfortably for movement. There will be NO dance requirement in the audition, but the ultimate performance may include learning basic German folk dances (polka, waltz, etc…). 3. Please prepare ONE song which demonstrates both vocal range and ‘heart’ connection AND one short monologue or poem, both memorized and not to exceed 5 minutes TOTAL. Accompanist will be provided. Please provide readable music, clearly marked, and in the correct key. NO A CAPPELLA OR PRE-RECORDED MUSIC! All selections should be memorized. Actors may be asked to cold-read a short section of the script. Auditioners will be heard one-on one and may be asked for a callback. A word on ‘style’: The score is generally Americana/Folk-style with some contemporary influences. Actors should be able to learn music quickly, and professional training is not a prerequisite. German folk or art songs, American folk or contemporary Americana, or songs from musical theatre scores such as ‘Big River’, ‘Billy Elliot’ and ‘The Fantastiks’, etc….would be appropriate. Performance Schedule We will present TWO weekends of ‘open rehearsals’, one in late June and one in mid-late August. We’ll work for approximately 2-3 weeks of consistent daily rehearsals preceding each weekend. Schedule can be flexible based around actor conflicts, and performance dates will be finalized by the time of auditions. Please BRING YOUR CALENDAR TO AUDITION! A determination of the dates of performance for a FULL production of the show will be announced by August. About the show: Spring, 1913. All the world rolls into Akron, Ohio on a river of white, raw rubber fresh from the jungles of the equator...tainted by the blood of unknown slaves. As City booms, Man is busted into parts for the machine. Family is cracked like concrete...broken by and underground torrent myth buried so deep it can only be known in songs of the mad. Strikes and floods, Sex and fortunes, plagues and gangs, fathers and sons, the raw materials of nature transformed by obsession into the treasures of men... Akron. Hell. You ain't been nowhere near the like of it..... “The Devil’s Milk Trilogy” is funded in part by a generous grant from Knight Foundation.

06 Apr '15

Spring is on the way, and summer will be here before we know it...so now is the time to save the dates for the 2015 CAN/API and ATFGC benefit musical! We're happy to announce that this year's production will be the local premiere of SAUCY JACK AND THE SPACE VIXENS Book and Lyrics by Charlotte Mann and Michael Fidler Music by Jonathan Croose and Robin Forrest Additional music by Adam Meggido and James Compton Based on original ideas by Johanna Allitt, Simon Curtis, Charlotte Mann and Michael Fidler Murder, mayhem, magic and glitter boots come together in this sci-fi thriller with a disco beat! The action takes place on a faraway planet...but we're raising money for agencies working to fight the spread of HIV/AIDS right here in Northeast Ohio. So plan to join us for one of our two performances: On Monday, August 24, 2015, the show will be presented at Weathervane Playhouse to benefit the Community AIDS Network / Akron Pride Initiative ! On Monday, August 31, 2015, the show will be presented at the Cassidy Theatre to benefit the AIDS Taskforce of Greater Cleveland ! Come to either show...or come to both! More details -- including how to get tickets -- will be posted on NEOhioPAL over the summer, so stay tuned. Saucy Jack and the Space Vixens was first performed at C Venue at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival on 9th August, 1995, produced by Johanna Allitt and Michael Fidler. It premiered in the West End of London, produced by Ian Lenagan for Counterpoint Theatre at the Queen's Theatre, Shaftesbury Avenue on 25th March 1998....and now the Space Vixens are coming to Cleveland and Akron! #Spacevixens This communication may contain privileged and/or confidential information.
