THIS SATURDAY: Experience HELLFIRE, by Julia Fisher!
by Craig Joseph 12 Jan '26

12 Jan '26

Seat of the Pants is excited to present our Salon Series, where we focus on brand new work, hearing plays read aloud for the first time. Each reading is followed by a talkback with the playwright where audience members are asked curated questions that will guide next steps in edits and rewrites. And there's also an opportunity for our patrons to ask questions about the playwright's experience in crafting the piece up to this point. UP NEXT: HELLFIRE, by Julia Fisher Saturday, January 17th at 1:30 PM - Darl Center, Cleveland ( salon2A.eventbrite.com <http://salon2a.eventbrite.com/>) Saturday, January 17th at 7:30 PM - Yoga Central, Canton ( salon2B.eventbrite.com <http://salon2b.eventbrite.com/>) Tickets are $10 each. Synopsis You’ve received an invitation to a rehearsal of Hellfire, a Christian haunted house experience hosted by a local evangelical church. A frazzled stage manager/demon takes you from scene to frightening scene to bear witness to various sins and their consequences. But the night takes an unexpected turn as teenage actors run offstage in tears, the car for the drunk driving scene is accidentally driven away, and you stumble into rooms you’re definitely not supposed to be in. As you eavesdrop on backstage conversations and whispered hallway interactions between the actors and crew, you begin to see the people behind the hell house - and their stories might just complicate everything you’re supposed to be learning. A convergence of *Sleep No More* meets *Heroes of the Fourth Turning* meets *But I’m a Cheerleader*, *Hellfire* asks what - and who - we’re afraid of, and if we can really save each other from hell. Directed by Katherine Nash and produced by Benjamin Gregg, the reading stars Connor Defevers, Madeline Golya, Bridgett Martinez, Michael Montanus, Joe Pine, and Jasmine Renee. Content Notice discussion of: abortion, sex depiction of: alcohol, blood, death, drugs, homophobia, transphobia, religious trauma, gun violence

by Paul Kroeger 09 Jan '26

09 Jan '26

Happy 2026. Time for some of you to get your musical goals organized for the Year. I am looking forward to a schedule of students who want to learn more this year than ever before about how to sing, breathe and perform better. I am also hoping former students call me to continue learning how to reach their best quality singing. I can offer lessons in my home studio or at my church in Rocky River. It should be easy to find time for you. Tell me about your goals. Warm regards, Paul Kroeger - musician, singer, voice and trombone teacher, and teacher of Music Theory and of tone-deaf singers. They aren't really, you know! letgo2sing(a)gmail.com and 216-741-4762
