Berko review: THE WILD PARTY (Baldwin Wallace's MUSICAL THEATRE PROGRAM)
by Roy Berko 10 Nov '22

10 Nov '22

*•••••••••••••••••••••••••••* *CAPSULE JUDGMENT: If watching decadence is your thing, you’ll be turned on by **The Wild Party**. If you prefer being in the presence of characters who have redeeming values so you can feel empathy, this is not going to be your show. The singers, actors, dancers, and the musicians are top-notch. They reach levels of excellence that far exceed those of college students. But, what else can you expect? They are part of the respected and oft-revered Baldwin Wallace Musical Theatre Program. Bravo!* *To read the entire review go to: *https://royberkinfo.blogspot.com/ *To read the capsule judgements of the other Cleveland reviewers go to: **www.clevelandtheaterreviews.com <http://www.clevelandtheaterreviews.com/>* *••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••*

TMPAC audition announcement for Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? Nov 20 and 21
by Claudia Lillibridge 09 Nov '22

09 Nov '22

*Twin Masks Performing Arts Center (TMPAC)* is excited to announce auditions for the first show of its 2023 season, *Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?*, by Edward Albee. Performance dates are Feb 3, 4, 10, 11, 17 and 18, 2023. Twin Masks Performing Arts Center is located at 9076 Church Street, Suites 2 & 3, Twinsburg, OH 44087. Twin Masks is a 501c3 organization. No AEA contracts are available. The director, D. Keith Stiver, will be holding auditions at Twin Masks on Sunday, November 20 from 1:00-3:00 and Monday, November 21 from 7:00-9:00. Auditions will be done via reading from the script. *THE STORY:* George, a professor at a small college, and his wife, Martha, have just returned home, drunk from a Saturday night party. Martha announces, amidst general profanity, that she has invited a young couple—an opportunistic new professor at the college and his shatteringly naïve new bride—to stop by for a nightcap. When they arrive the charade begins. The drinks flow and suddenly inhibitions melt. It becomes clear that Martha is determined to seduce the young professor, and George couldn’t care less. But underneath the edgy banter, which is crossfired between both couples, lurks an undercurrent of tragedy and despair. George and Martha’s inhuman bitterness toward one another is provoked by the enormous personal sadness that they have pledged to keep to themselves: a secret that has seemingly been the foundation for their relationship. In the end, the mystery in which the distressed George and Martha have taken refuge is exposed, once and for all revealing the degrading mess they have made of their lives. >From the Dramatists Play Service website. *THE CHARACTERS: *as described in the script. *Martha:* a large, boisterous woman, fifty-two, looking somewhat younger. Ample, but not fleshy. *George:* Her husband, forty-six. Thin; hair going gray. *Honey:* Twenty-six, a petite blond girl, rather plain. *Nick:* Twenty-eight, her husband. Blond, well put-together, good-looking.

PRESS RELEASE: CVLT brings the musical adaptation of the beloved film ELF to the stage this holiday season
by Chagrin Valley Little Theatre 09 Nov '22

09 Nov '22

*PRESS RELEASE* FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Date: 11/9/2022 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Contact: Andrew Rothman From: Chagrin Valley Little Theatre 40 River Street Chagrin Falls, OH 44122 Phone: 440-247-8955 E-mail: cvlt(a)cvlt.org Website: www.CVLT.org <http://www.cvlt.org/> CVLT brings the musical adaptation of the beloved film ELF to the stage this holiday season Adapted from one of the most beloved modern Christmas movies, "Elf the Musical" transforms the story (originally a vehicle for actor Will Farrell) into a theatrical holiday treat for the whole family. "Elf" features songs by the Tony Award nominated Matthew Sklar and Chad Beguelin (/Disney's Aladdin on Broadway, The Wedding Singer/) and a script by Tony Award winners Thomas Meehan (/Annie, The Producers, Hairspray/) and Bob Martin (/The Drowsy Chaperone/). The New York Times called it “splashy, peppy, sugar-sprinkled holiday entertainment!” and Variety said “ELF is happy enough for families, savvy enough for city kids and plenty smart for adults!” Chagrin Valley Little Theatre's production runs weekends from November 18 through December 17, with performances on Fridays, Saturdays and select Sundays. Evening performances begin at 7:30 PM on Fridays Nov. 18 & 25, Dec. 2, 9 & 16 as well as Saturdays Nov. 19, 26, & Dec. 10. Matinees at 2 PM on Saturdays Dec. 3 & 17 and Sundays Nov. 27 & Dec. 4. Tickets are $21 with a $4 discount for students, seniors, and military. Many of these performance dates are already sold out, so advance reservations and early arrival are highly recommended. "Elf" is the tale of Buddy (John Kolar), who mistakenly crawls into Santa’s toy sack as a child and is raised by elves at the North Pole. Buddy’s comparatively enormous size and lack of natural toy making skill forces him to face the realization that he is a human. With the blessing of Santa (Nick Alder), Buddy embarks on a journey to New York City to find his birth father, Walter Hobbs (Steve Brown), a cynical workaholic with a wife Emily Hobbs (Emily Stack) and son Michael (Lucy 'Red' Mango). He soon makes friends with his step-family, as well as Walter's secretary Deb (Amy Mango), and even finds love with a Macy's holiday employee, Jovie (Sarah Gordon). However, Buddy also discovers that most New Yorkers no longer believe in Santa, which threatens Christmas, as Santa's sleigh can only fly if people still believe. Through relentless cheeriness and a childlike adoration of Christmas, Buddy the elf attempts to save the day and mend his relationship with his estranged dad. Director Louis Petrucci, with musical director Jonathan Gordon and choreographer Melanie Leibold, bring the magic to life with an all-ages cast of 31 performers that also includes Pamela Sheehan Brown, Alexa Decker, Christine Francisco, Dave Jezek, Koriander Jezek, Nathan Miller, Allie Morrison, Charlie Morrison, Frankie Morrison, Sacha Morrison, Tobias Morrison, Vivien Morrison, J.J. Nightwine, Sofia Palma, Michela Palma, Kathy Pekarcik, Matt Rondini, Elisabeth Roter, Louis Schwartz, Lily Shumaker, Juliana Shumaker, Kara Simpson, Wrenn Warren, Christopher Wuehler. Chagrin Valley Little Theatre is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit funded through individual and corporate contributions. Our programming is made possible in part by the citizens of Cuyahoga Country through Cuyahoga County Arts and Culture and by state tax dollars allocated by the Ohio Legislature to the Ohio Arts Council (OAC). The OAC is a state agency that funds and supports quality arts experiences to strengthen Ohio communities culturally, educationally, and economically. ###
