Huntington Playhouse Memorabilia
by Elroy Johnson-Smith 15 Jan '24

15 Jan '24

Photos,videos, and Programs from 2 productions. I'm trying to find a home for them, as I have no one to leave them to and don’t wish for them to be chucked into the trash when the time comes. (1994): "You're A Good Man, Charlie Brown" (featuring beloved late community-theater actor Tom Castro as Charlie Brown and Ideastream's Peg Neeson as Lucy). Photos, Program, and video on VHS. (1996) Agatha Christie's "Murder At The Vicarage" (featuring Lakewood's Dr. Clifford "Kip" Thompson as Inspector Slack). Photos, Program, and video on VHS. One member of the cast went on to Hollywood. Just saw him playing a dirty cop in Season 6 of "Lucifer". If anybody fancies themselves an archivist, historian, chronicler, etc. or if you have any affiliation with or connection to these productions (could one or more of your loved ones be memorialized in these media?), message me to make arrangements for pickup in Lakewood.

The Language Archive needs your voice
by Lisa L. Wiley 15 Jan '24

15 Jan '24

I am the Sound Designer for The Language Archive opening soon at Clague Playhouse. The show is directed by Craig Joseph and opens on January 26th. It's a beautiful story of Love, Loss, Hope and Joy. It looks at what those feelings might sound like when people have their unique languages, either as a couple, community, or world. Those languages and words that are alive and those that are extinct. There are a couple of moments in the script when the audience hears these voices because The Archive collects them. I would love to be able to have many different voices. Voices with accents, English and non-English, 2nd and 3rd languages, old, young, ALL of the voices! If you could record on your computer or phone and send me an audio file of you speaking some of the words or phrases below- I would be so very grateful. I would like to also include your name in our program as a special thanks. Ideally, I would like the recordings submitted by Friday the 19th. - Some of the phrases include: - Mi estas amata - Mi estas amita - Mi estas amota - Mi estis amata - Mi estis amita - Mi estis amota - MIr Ne Glessala, the pronunciation should be Mere Nay GLESS a la - with the accent on the first syllable of the last word - Something you might say if you went to a library or lab in response to someone saying "Welcome to the Language Archive, How was your flight? - And either the words "I love you", or the equivalent of "I love you" in as many other languages as you know how to speak it. If you have the time and would like to give me something for each- that would be awesome. If you want to just do a couple, that too is awesome! Please include with the audio file or link, how you would like your name to be printed in the program as well as the accent or language you are submitting. Please submit to indigored01(a)gmail.com Thanks for considering and I hope to hear from you soon! Lisa -- *Lisa L. Wiley "Got Something To Say?

Workshop Players "The Dining Room" by A.R. Gurney Opens January 25
by Workshop Players 12 Jan '24

12 Jan '24

*The Dining Room* by A.R. Gurney Directed by Dave Stacko There is one setting: a dining room. Actors take on multiple roles in a mosaic of interrelating vignettes, each a new scene with new characters and new emotions. Some are funny, some dramatic, some touching, but all reflect a disappearing tradition of gathering around the dining room table. The New York Post called this charming play “A banquet of theatrical riches.” Don’t miss this smorgasbord of American nostalgia. In the cast are Kevin Boland, Kathy Dean-Dielman, Tim Hirzel, Melissa Lyle, Julie Marchand and Terry Smith Performances are January 25, 26, 27; February 2, 3 at 7:30 p.m. January 28; February 4 at 3 p.m. Doors open 45 minutes before show time. Tickets are $18.50 (includes all fees.) Group rates available. Tickets online at workshopplayers.org or by calling the Box Office: 440-634-0472. -- Workshop Players Theatre 44820 Middle Ridge Road P.O. Box 1193, Amherst, OH 44001 Box Office: 440-634-0472 Find us on Facebook, YouTube and Instagram!
