Beck Center For The Arts Opens The Door To A Doll's House Part 2 Lakewood, OH-Beck Center for the Arts<http://www.beckcenter.org/> is pleased to announce a production of A Doll's House, Part 2<https://www.tcg.org/Default.aspx?TabID=251&productId=7580387>. The performance occurs from May 31-June 30, 2024, in the intimate Studio Theater. This play will be directed by Don Carrier<https://theater.case.edu/faculty/donald-carrier/> and features the work of playwright, Lucas Hnath<https://www.tcg.org/Default.aspx?TabID=251&productId=7580387>. This eccentric, probing, and bold play is both a continuation of Henrik Ibsen's complex exploration of traditional gender roles, as well as a sharp contemporary take on the struggles inherent in all human relationships across time. This 2017 Tony Award Winner of Best Play starts fifteen years after Nora Helmer slammed the door on her stifling domestic life. Now a knock comes at that same door. It is Nora, and she has returned with an urgent request. What will her sudden return mean to those she left behind? Director Don Carrier shares, "A Doll's House or Doll's House by Ibsen was a play that really impacted me when I read it as a child. The subject matter was so unique and more so for those who saw/read it when it first came out. Just hearing Doll's House Part II as a title seemed preposterous and yet in reading the play we see a wonderful mix of contemporary and period of drama and comedy of ideas and one liner's. The audience will still walk away invested in the decision Nora makes and her journey in making it." Run dates are May 31-June 30, 2024, in the Studio Theater. Ticket prices range from $38 (adults), $34 (for seniors 65 and older), and $17 for students with valid ID. A $3 service fee per single ticket will be applied at time of purchase. Curtain times are 7:30 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays, and 2:30 p.m. Sundays. Preview performance is at 7:30 p.m. the Thursday before opening night, May 30, 2024 with general-admission seating for just $10. Smart Seats(r) are available for each performance at just $10 per person. For more information on A Doll's House Part 2, please visit beckcenter.org<https://www.beckcenter.org/shows/dolls>. According to Christian Lewis of the Huffington Post, "An incredibly enjoyable play...The true triumph of A Doll's House, Part 2 is its refreshingly feminist political message." This production is presented through special arrangement with Theatre Communications Group, Inc. All performances are at theaters inside Beck Center for the Arts<http://www.beckcenter.org/> located at 17801 Detroit Avenue in Lakewood, just ten minutes west of downtown Cleveland. Free onsite parking is available. For more information visit beckcenter.org<http://www.beckcenter.org/>.

Casting Youth Lead - Short Film
by Art - Animals - Adventure 26 Jun '24

26 Jun '24

Role - Chris (boy or girl) age 8 to 12 Accepting Recorded auditions - submitted to vasenhouse(a)gmail.com <mailto:vasenhouse@gmail.com> Deadline Friday July 1, 2024 Call backs will be the week of July 1 Movie Description - Filming will take place July 26,27,28 CM is a short film produced by Vasenhouse creative group based in Cleveland. The film is a fictional narrative about a young boy or girl named Chris, who experiences the world with curiosity and a great deal of naivete. Chris has an insatiable need to create, is an artist, but does not know what that means, and lives in a world where teachers, parents, etc do not provide guidance that fosters creativity. All Chris wants to do is be imaginative and to create things. Chris is kind of lost. Chris is easily distracted, but not hyperactive, is a dreamer and cannot relate to the world. Chris does not belong and only enjoys creating and channeling art alone (drawing, music, dance, cooking, painting). Chris channels all of the feelings of discomfort creatively. Audition Process: Step 1 - 1 minute monologue Choose and perform a monologue for a minimum of 1 minute. Select a character and scene that you feel best demonstrates a range of thoughtfulness, creativity and emotion. The character and scene can be from a TV show, cartoon, movie, or something you create yourself. Step 2 - 1 minute Scene work Perform Scene 5 - Toy Battle (below) Record scene 2 times if possible - performed differently each time Scene 5 Toy Battle CHRIS MONSTER Chris is sitting in his bedroom, alone. Camera is toward his face at desk level. Chris is only visible from the nose up and two action figures are in the forefront (in focus) and his right and left hand control each character. He is playing out the interactions between the characters. CHRIS (ACTION FIGURE 1) “I said look at me when I talk to you.” CHRIS (ACTION FIGURE #2) “Excuse me… Do you know who you’re talking to?” Chris motions figure #1 toward figure #2 and speaks in a more confrontational tone. CHRIS (ACTION FIGURE 1) “Oh, I know exactly who I'm talking to bitch.” CHRIS (ACTION FIGURE #2) “Bitch?”...pause “Are you sure you want to go there?” CHRIS (ACTION FIGURE 1) “Oh, I’m sure?… pause Chris makes the action figures lunge at each other and simulates that they are fighting, making grunting, punching and fighting sounds. Fighting between the two figures lasts about 10 seconds - when he is surprised by the sound of a loud crashing noise. Camera focuses closely on his face as he listens intently for another noise. His eyes dart back and forth - his anxiety is palpable - he starts to breathe more rapidly as if he is waiting for another loud crashing noise to interrupt the silence. Chris waits…looks… He hears the deepest, husky, but curious and calm voice ask. MONSTER “Do you think they even love each other?” In immediate response to the voice, Chris inhales deeply and sits up - quickly straightening his back, grabbing the arms of his chair and looking around for where the voice is coming from. His stature is stiff as he scans with only his eyes Long pause - and CUT TO:camera is no longer looking at Chris, but scanning the room from Chris’ perspective - mirroring the furtive and nervous glances in search of the voice. CUT TO:After a long pause the camera refocuses on Chris’ face As he fumbles, stutters to find words… CHRIS “Uh… umm - who’s there?” Period of silence CUT TO: Chris looks under his desk CUT TO:Camera shot is from under the desk from the ground up as Chris searches the floor CHRIS “Come on now… this isn’t funny.” CUT TO: Chris glances to the side of his desk CUT TO: Top down view of the drawing from earlier and the monster that he drew is no longer on the paper, but the club with the blood that the monster was holding in his drawing is still the only remaining visual element on the paper. It looks like the drawing of the monster has disappeared from the paper, and left his bloody club behind. CUT TO: Chris’ face looking puzzled and his eyes are looking worried and unsure. He scratches his head and rubs his eyes - shakes his head trying to remember if he actually drew a monster in the first place. Camera that is capturing a close shot of Chris’ face slowly moves away from him showing more of the bedroom. This is the first time we even see what Chris’ bedroom looks like. It is dark (desk light is only light on) giving the room a dark and mysterious feel. There is a muted outdoor glow (streetlight) Everything is muted - it is dark outside. The camera continues to move away and Chris becomes smaller in the room - behind Chris is a window with long curtains that extend to the floor - as the camera moves away, you can begin to see the hulking shoulders of a figure from behind the curtains. Chris does not have any awareness that he is not alone in the room.
