Radio on the Lake Theatre, the only professional theater company in Northeast Ohio exclusively dedicated to the illumination of the radio play, is delighted to announce that its newest project, presented in partnership with Interplay Jewish Theatre, in conjunction with the Cleveland Arts Prize Past Masters series, is now streaming online. Out of the Past: The Stories of Martha Wolfenstein is a series of recorded readings of three short stories by the late Cleveland author Martha Wolfenstein, who was selected by Dennis Dooley for the Cleveland Arts Prize as a Past Master . These stories first appeared in her 1905-published collection A Renegade and Other Tales, and have been enhanced in these recordings by a sound effects design by ROTLT Artistic Director John Watts. The project was directed by Faye Sholiton, and the stories are read by Kathryn Wolfe Sebo, Rosette Barron Haim and Sarah Sager. Out of the Past: The Stories of Martha Wolfenstein is now available at Radio on the Lake Theatre and will also be donated to the Cleveland Public Library system. This project was generously funded by the Leonard Krieger Fund of the Cleveland Foundation, Dr. Mark Levine and Ellen Levine, and Interplay Jewish Theatre. For more information about Out of the Past: The Stories of Martha Wolfenstein, please contact Caroline Breder-Watts at caroline(a)radioonthelaketheatre.org.

Vitalitas
by Stephen Markwei 27 Feb '22

27 Feb '22

Vitalitas, Spring 2022 The Department of Dance at Case Western Reserve University continues its 2021-22 season with the MFA thesis concert Vitalitas. Vitalitas will be performed on March 24, 25 and 26 at 8pm and March 27 at 2:30pm at Mather Dance Center, 11040 Bellflower Road, on the Case Western Reserve campus in University Circle. Vitalitas features works from MFA candidates Mary-Elizabeth Fenn, Stephen Martey Markwei, Tingyu Xie, along with a work by the chair of the department Karen Potter. Mary-Elizabeth Fenn will premiere two solo works, Reverie and Anamnesis. Reverie explores an enriched and broadened movement vocabulary while focusing on a deepening of the embodiment/experiment process, while Anamnesis is inspired by recollections of moments in time. Be Yourself is a solo work choreographed and performed by Stephen Martey Markwei. The work employs a pragmatic approach to bring symbolism, analytical, and intellectual ideas connoting two personalities within one character. Tingyu Xie will premiere two works, Escape and Ruach. Xie’s ensemble work, Ruach, looks at the relationship between a figure and a higher being by presenting a story about the transformation of the figure as she is redeemed and led by the powerful spirit. Escape, based on Xie’s own personal experiences, presents a solo figure trying to escape from a situation in which she is trapped, only to question what is actually holding her back. Fenn and Xie will also dance in Tracing Time, choreographed by department chair Karen Potter. This duet traces the common ground and the echoes of the uniqueness of two individuals on a similar path in their life journeys. Tickets are $10 for students, $12 for seniors age 60+ and CWRU personnel, and $15 for general admission. For reservations call (216) 368-5246 or visit dance.case.edu/reservations. **Increasing COVID-19 cases within Northeast Ohio have prompted Case Western Reserve to resume its requirement that masks be worn indoors. In addition, only those who are fully vaccinated (two weeks past their final dose) should attend any campus event. Leaders continue to monitor pandemic developments and may need to adjust health protocols further as circumstances warrant. In-person is subject to change based on COVID-19 guidelines.**

Beginning Voice Acting Class Starting Next Saturday
by Colors Audio 27 Feb '22

27 Feb '22

There's not much time to enroll in our upcoming Voice Acting Fundamentals course! We'll meet Saturdays from March 5 through April 2, from 2:00 to 4:00, at the Colors Audio studios <http://www.colorsaudio.com/map-directions> in Akron for 10 hours of instruction and coaching. The cost is $600 (plus tax for Ohio residents - total $640.50). You'll be taught by a successful voice actor with 30 years' experience. You'll learn in an actual commercial studio <http://www.colorsaudio.com/>. And we'll limit the number of students, to give you more time on the mic. What will you learn? You'll discover how to understand a script, develop a solid acting approach to it, and perform it. I'll teach you techniques for developing skills that will set you apart from everyone who believes that "voice acting is just talking." To find out more, or to register, please email Dan Popp at colorsaudio(a)neo.rr.com. Here's what past students have said about this training: Dan’s coaching stretches your voice, your talent and your mind. - Carrie D. What you taught me was BIG. You are the first coach who taught me how to have an ear. - Felicia N. You are a marvelous teacher. I learned so much and had a great time becoming more professional and skilled. - Phil S. If you're on the fence about taking this class, I highly recommend jumping on board should you be seriously ready to jump into the voiceover world! You'll learn so much in each session from Dan's years of experience. He's very down to earth and gives individualized advice. - David T. Profoundly worth every penny. - Greg P.
