TMPAC Audition Notice
by Annette Fernandez 23 Mar '22

23 Mar '22

TMPAC announcing Auditions for Lonestar/Laundry and Bourbon written by James McClure, Directed by Annette Fernandez Auditions will be Sunday March 27th and Monday March 28th at TMPAC 9076 Church Street, Stes. 2&3, Twinsburg, OH 44087 Sign up Here:https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10c0e4ca4ac2da4f5c25-auditions Laundry and BourbonTHE STORY: The setting is the front porch of Roy and Elizabeth’s home in Maynard, Texas, on a hot summer afternoon. Elizabeth and her friend Hattie are whiling away the time folding laundry, watching TV, sipping bourbon and Coke, and gossiping about the many open secrets which are so much a part of small-town life. They are joined by the self-righteous Amy Lee who, among other tidbits, can’t resist blurting out that Roy has been seen around town with another woman. While the ensuing conversation is increasingly edged with bitter humor, from it emerges a sense of Elizabeth’s inner strength and her quiet understanding of the turmoil which has beset her husband since his return from Vietnam. He is wild, and he is unfaithful, but he needs her, and she loves him. And she’ll be waiting for him when he comes home—no matter what others may say or think. LonestarTHE STORY: The play takes place in the cluttered backyard of a small-town Texas bar. Roy, a brawny, macho type who had once been a local high-school hero, is back in town after a hitch in Vietnam and trying to reestablish his position in the community. Joined by his younger brother, Ray (who worships him), Roy sets about consuming a case of beer while regaling Ray with tales of his military and amorous exploits. Apparently, Roy cherishes three things above all: his country, his sexy young wife, and his 1959 pink Thunderbird. With the arrival of Cletis, the fatuous, newlywed son of the local hardware store owner, the underpinnings of Roy’s world begin to collapse. Sent from Yahoo Mail for iPhone

As part of our mission, we have been working with local organizations and events such as Destination Cleveland, the NFL Draft, the NBA All-Star Game, Ingenuity Cleveland, Cleveland Public Library, and the Rock Hall to coordinate buskers, street performers, and venue performances during highlight events downtown. Our goal is to show off the incredibly diverse and high-level talent of musicians, dancers, and more that can be found in Cleveland! Our experiences programming entertainment for multiple events have taught us many lessons, and continue to reveal new ways that ListenCLE can adapt to better serve our community and its members. After completing our full NBA All Star Weekend programming of local music - showcased on Playhouse Square in the heart of downtown - we’re looking towards adding some additional resources for our performers and our potential clients and partners through the addition of an online performer database. ALL performance types are welcome, including music, dance, circus, variety, live art, etc. Submissions are FREE for all performers, and we will never charge you for a listing with us. Submit your act here: https://listencle.com/advanced-performer-search We have many conversations active with large Cleveland events this summer, and are working with city partners to create programmed spaces throughout the downtown and neighborhood footprints. Paid opportunities are on the very near horizon, be sure to submit your information today!

by Beatrice Katz 22 Mar '22

22 Mar '22

Hathaway Brown Theatre Institute is thrilled to announce its summer 2022 production of: JOSEPH AND THE AMAZING TECHNICOLOR DREAMCOAT July 14-July 24, 2022 Music by Andrew Lloyd Webber Lyrics by Tim Rice Auditions for 2022 season: March 31st & April 1st (4-6, 6:30-8:30pm) Saturday April 2nd (5:30-8:30 pm) Call- backs Sunday April 3 (3-7 pm) Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat (colloquially known as Joseph) is a sung-through musical by Tim Rice (lyrics) and Andrew Lloyd Webber (music). "Sha la la, Joseph, you’re doing fine! You and your dreamcoat, ahead of your time!” One of the most enduring shows of all time, *Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat* is a reimagining of the Biblical story of Joseph, his father Jacob, eleven brothers and the coat of many colors. Told entirely through song with the help of a main character, the Narrator, the musical follows preferred son Joseph. After he is sold into slavery by his brothers, he ingratiates himself with Egyptian noble Potiphar, but ends up in jail after refusing the amorous advances of Potiphar’s wife. While imprisoned, Joseph discovers his ability to interpret dreams, and he soon finds himself in front of the mighty, but troubled, Elvis-inspired, Pharaoh. Joseph’s solution to Egypt’s famine elevates him to Pharaoh’s right-hand man and reunites him with his family. It was the first Lloyd Webber/Rice musical to be publicly performed and their first ever collaboration. *Joseph* started out as a 15 minute vocal cantata in the early 1970’s and became a full length musical in early 1980’s. It has received 6 Tony Award nominations including Best musical and Best original score. This magical musical is full of catchy songs in a variety of styles, from a parody of French ballads (“Those Canaan Days”), to country-western (“One More Angel in Heaven”) and calypso (“Benjamin Calypso”), along with the unforgettable classics “Any Dream Will Do” and “Close Every Door.” *Hathaway Brown Theatre Institutes production will be directed and choreographed by Bebe Weinberg Katz, with musical Direction by John Krol.* A full synopsis of the entire story is available on the Concord Theatrical website: Joseph <https://www.concordtheatricals.com/p/44899/joseph-and-the-amazing-technicol…> *Open auditions* will be held at the school on Thursday,3/31 and Friday 4/1 (4-6pm and 6:30-8:30 pm), Saturday 4/2 (5:30-8:30 pm) with dance auditions and callbacks on Sunday 4/3 (3-7pm). *Roles* are available for children, (grades 4-6) teens and young adults (7th grade – College.
