convergence-continuum hiring Designers/ SM for two productions
by Cory Molner 16 Aug '22

16 Aug '22

convergence-continuum is hiring designers for the following productions: INSURRECTION: HOLDING HISTORY by Robert O'Hara Oct14-Nov 5 directed by Jeannine Gaskin A collage-and-meta exploration wherein a modern-day black graduate student finds himself and his 189-yr-old grandfather transported back to slavery times and the Nat Turner rebellion. Insurrection is a work unafraid to utterly confound most traditional narrative assumptions, and in a surreal version of history also manages to address contemporary police violence against African-Americans, to explore who has the right to tell whose story, to look critically at African-American attitudes toward homosexuality, and to explore how different generations adhere to different rules. Open Positions: - Lighting Designer - Sound Designer - Stage Manager THE MOST FABULOUS STORY EVER TOLD by Paul Rudnick Dec 2-17, directed by Denise Astorino A stage manager, headset and prompt book at hand, brings the house lights to half, then dark, and cues the creation of the world. Throughout the play, she's in control of everything. In other words, she's either God, or she thinks she is. Act One recounts the major episodes of the Old Testament, only with a twist: Instead of Adam and Eve, our lead characters are Adam and Steve, and Jane and Mabel, a lesbian couple with whom they decide to start civilization (procreation proves to be a provocative challenge). Act One covers the Garden of Eden, an ark, a visit with a highly rambunctious Pharaoh and finally even the Nativity. Along the way, Mabel and Adam invent God, but Jane and Steve are skeptical. This brings about the Flood, during which Steve has a brief affair with a rhinoceros and invents infidelity. No longer blissful, Adam and Steve break up only to be reunited as two of the wise men at the Nativity. Act Two jumps to modern day Manhattan. Adam and Steve are together again, and Steve is HIV positive. It's Christmas Eve, and Jane is nine months pregnant even though she always thought of herself as the butch one. The two women want to marry and want Adam and Steve to join them in the ceremony. A wheelchair-bound, Jewish lesbian Rabbi from cable access TV arrives to officiate. The ceremony is interrupted as Jane gives birth, and Steve confides to Adam that his medication isn't working and that he'll probably not survive much longer. Bound by their long life together, and the miracle of birth they've just witnessed, the two men comfort each other even though they know their remaining time together will be short. Open Positions: - Lighting Designer - Sound Designer - Costume Designer - Stage Manager Designers will work closely with the Production's Director, the Executive Artistic Director, and Production Manager. Lighting Designers will serve as Master Electrician and are responsible for hang, focus, and programming for the show. Costume Designers have access to our costume inventory as well as a modest costume budget. All positions will receive a stipend of $400.00 To Apply: Please submit your resume, design portfolio (if available), and what positions you are interested in.

Unemployed and overwhelmed, Sherry retreats to her childhood bed and remains there until an unexpected employment opportunity gives her a renewed sense of purpose and hope. Now if only her mother would come downstairs, her sister would get off the couch, her very first therapy patient would do just one of his take-home assignments, her new boss would leave his gun at home, and someone would catch the tiger that escaped from the local zoo, everything would just be perfect.

Berko review: FROZEN--KEY BANK BROADWAY SERIES
by Roy Berko 16 Aug '22

16 Aug '22

*•••••••••••••••••••••••••••* *Capsule judgment: Disney has created some of Broadway's most memorable musicals including THE LION KING, BEAUTY AND THE BEAST, MARY POPPINS and NEWSIES THE MUSICAL. FROZEN, unfortunately, does not deserve to join that exalted list. It's not terrible, but kids will probably not be enchanted, adults should be adequately interested, and all will be awed by the special effects and lighting.* *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/> *••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••*
