Meet the cast for OF MICE AND MEN - Blank Canvas Theatre
by info blankcanvastheatre.com 28 Apr '23

28 Apr '23

"Blank Canvas's OF MICE AND MEN is a compelling piece of theatre. This is an absolutely must-see production filled with fine acting and focused staging." Blank Canvas Theatre Presents OF MICE AND MEN By John Steinbeck May 5 - 20 Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays at 8:00pm Sundays at 7:00pm This critically acclaimed revival from our first season is still relevant today. Hope slams headlong into a wall of tragic bad luck in this tale of migrant workers in Depression-era California. A seemingly impossible American Dream fuels sadness, yet the depth of tragedy is balanced by joy and friendship, hope and aspiration. In George and Lenny, we have one of literature's most memorable friendships. As relevant now as it ever was, Steinbeck's play follows his novel closely. An intimate portrait of two men facing a world marked by petty tyranny, misunderstanding, jealousy, and callousness, Of Mice and Men explores questions of strength, weakness, usefulness, reality and utopia in Depression-Era California. RATED: PG-13 RUN TIME: 2hr 20min WARNING: There are some disturbing words that the playwright (John Steinbeck) included which was reflective of the vernacular used during the period of the The Great Depression (1929-1939). ADDITIONAL TRIGGER & CONTENT WARNING: This play contains the following; racism, ableism, misogyny, murder, gun violence, and animal death.

Each juror reveals his or her own character as the various testimonies are re-examined, the murder is re-enacted and a new murder threat is born before their eyes! Tempers get short, arguments grow heated, and they become 12 angry jurors. Tell a friend. -- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. www.avast.com

Request to Use Medical Facility for Short Film
by Peter Anthony Fields 26 Apr '23

26 Apr '23

I hope you are all doing well. I am sending this email on behalf of a friend and fellow filmmaker/storyteller. See the message below. Thank you. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Hello. My name is Jabari Cole and I'm a videographer with a local, grassroots, Columbus filmmaking group. We are gathering up resources to shoot a short film (10-20 minutes long), involving a medical theme. The story centers around a teenage daughter, who donates one of her kidneys to her father - but not telling him, until way after the fact, before his last stay at the hospital. We would like one day (6 hours max) to film two scenes. Or, just two separate dates, (3 hours each day). We would need two different rooms, for each scene. One that looks, or is an actual surgery room, while the other has to be a recovery room. We are looking to begin filming at the start of the summer season. If you can assist us with finding this location (preferably in Columbus, Ohio, and the surrounding area but we are more than willing to travel to other locations in Ohio), please feel free to contact me at jabarcole1(a)yahoo.com. Thanks again for your time and I included samples of my work below to give you an idea of what the film would look like. Sincerely, - Jabari Cole, email: jabarcole1(a)yahoo.com Viral Marketing Piece #12: Domestic Violence PSA (Definitive Audio Edit 2 / Alternate Edit 2) <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/youtu.be/4kQDd3NIMko__;!!NiUAmZJ8c1GNWg!…> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4kQDd3NIMko. <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4kQDd3NIMko.> Viral Marketing Piece #13: Local Theater Group Promo (Best Audio Mix) <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/youtu.be/sySEClm8Ybc__;!!NiUAmZJ8c1GNWg!…> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sySEClm8Ybc

Directed by: Rich Jagunic By Peter Quilter Produced by special arrangement with Concord Theatrical on behalf of Samuel French, Inc 1940’s New York, the performer who everyone wanted to see live was Florence Foster Jenkins, an enthusiastic soprano whose pitch was far from perfect.

But this delusional and joyously happy woman paid little attention to her critics, instead she was surrounded by a circle of devoted friends who were almost as eccentric as she was. Based upon a true story, the play spins from Florence’s charity recitals and extravagant balls, through to her bizarre recording sessions and ultimate triumph at Carnegie Hall in a hilarious and heart-warming comedy. Tickets are just $15 and are available online at www.HudsonPlayers.com or by calling the Hudson Players box office at 330-655-8522. Group, student and senior discounts are available.
