My Fair Lady: Laura Kennelly Review
by Laura Kennelly 13 Jun '22

13 Jun '22

Although *My Fair Lady *is over 60 years old, she is not showing her age. Director Bartlett Sher has kept the glamour and modernized the emphasis without changing a word in Playhouse Square’s latest touring show. Yes, Alan Jay Lerner (book and lyrics) and Frederick Loewe (music) still create theater magic. See complete review at https://coolcleveland.com/2022/06/theater-review-my-fair-lady-playhouse-squ…

Workshop Players Seeking Directors
by Workshop Players 13 Jun '22

13 Jun '22

June 2022 The purpose of this letter is to recruit directors for Workshop Players’ 2023-2024 season. We are striving to get back to a sense of normalcy after the pandemic. The 2022-2023 season is set with a limited number of shows and several fund raisers. By the fall of 2023 it is our intention to return to a full five show slate. To that end we are hoping that you may be interested in submitting an application along with a list of plays you may be interested in directing. *The deadline for applying is August 1, 2022.* *Please submit to Play Reading Committee Chair Pat Price at * joeandpatprice(a)centurytel.net *if you have not directed with us before, please include a theatrical resume. **Submit 4-5 plays that you would be interested in directing at Workshop, along with synopsis of the play (*may be copied and pasted from licensing agent)*.* *** *Give a brief summary of why you believe the play would be eﬀective in our unique theater-in-the-round space. **Please be prepared to have at least one copy of each script available for the play reading committee should you be selected as one of the directors.* Workshop Players Theater is a non profit, fully volunteer theater. It is the longest running theater-in-the-round in Ohio (minus the pandemic break). We have a strong following in the surrounding community and hope that you would like to be part of our theatre family. Submitting directors may be interviewed by the Board of Trustees in August. Due to the cost of production Workshop Players would do no more than one musical in a season, so if submitting musicals also include some straight plays to increase your chance of being chosen to direct. Be aware that our backstage space is very limited, making massive scene changes diﬃcult. Workshop enjoys producing plays for children and adults alike, musicals, comedies, and dramas —- and we will strive to put together a balanced season based on what is submitted to us. Thank you for your interest in our theater. Pat Price Play Reading Committee Chair Workshop Players Theater Amherst, OH 44001 -- Workshop Players 44820 Middle Ridge Road, Amherst, OH 44001 Box Office: 440-988-5613 (Box Office hours: 9 a.m. to 7 p.m.) Find us on Facebook!
