by Alice Blumenfeld 06 Jan '26

06 Jan '26

JOIN ABREPASO FLAMENCO THIS YEAR FOR FLAMENCO DANCE! Classes begin January 12th and run thru Feb. 18th Classes are held at Murphy Irish Arts Center in Beachwood, OH 6-week class sessions throughout the year All info and registration: https://www.abrepaso.org/upcomingevents/2026-session1 For people just wanting to get a feel for flamenco: Sign up for the *Monday evening 7pm technique class*. We’ll cover basic posture, arms, footwork, and some traveling steps. We’ll move at a relatively slow pace so you have time to work each concept. For beginners wanting a little more: add on the *Monday repertory class at 7:45pm*. We’ll be learning *Sevillanas*, a traditional dance from southern Spain that is a great introduction to flamenco choreography. The steps used in Sevillanas will show up in many other flamenco styles, and the rhythm is similar to a waltz. For beginners wanting to really understand flamenco: Add on the third class, *Monday rhythm circle at 8:30pm**. *This is where students learn flamenco’s improvisational structures in order to fully understand flamenco culture, music, and how to express yourself via flamenco. *All three classes amount to 2 hours total, and the last half hour is more music than dancing, so relatively manageable.* Questions?

WRP Announces Auditions for "The Outsiders"
by Braelin Andrzejewski 06 Jan '26

06 Jan '26

NOW AUDITIONING FOR “THE OUTSIDERS” THE WESTERN RESERVE PLAYHOUSE ANNOUNCES AUDITIONS FOR THE FIRST PLAY IN OUR 2026/2027 SEASON BUILT BY US *THE OUTSIDERS* A Play by Christopher Segel >From the novel by S.E. Hinton *Full-Length Play, coming of age drama* Seen through the eyes of young Ponyboy, a Greaser on the wrong side of life, caught up in territorial battles between the have-it-made rich kids—the Socs—and his tough, underprivileged "greaser" family and friends. In the midst of urban warfare, somehow Ponyboy can't forget a short poem that speaks of their fragile young lives: *Nature's first green is gold, Her hardest hue to hold.* *Her early leaf's a flower; But only so an hour.* *Then leaf subsides to leaf. So Eden sank to grief,* *so dawn goes down to day. Nothing gold can stay.* While the Socs appear to have everything, the only thing a Greaser has is his friends. As these young people try to find themselves and each other, as the sadness of sophistication begins to reach them and their battles and relationships reach a resolution, Ponyboy's dying friend, Johnny, sends him a last message … I've been thinking about the poem that guy wrote. He meant you're gold when you're a kid, like green. When you're a kid everything's new, dawn. It's just when you get used to everything that it's day. Like the way you dig sunsets, Pony. That's gold. Keep it that way. It's a good way to be. This is a play about young people who are not yet hopeless about latent decency in the midst of struggle.

Micro Theater CLE accepting submissions for "A Microdose of Love!"
by Mindy Herman 06 Jan '26

06 Jan '26

Micro Theater CLE is accepting submissions for "A Microdose of Love" on Friday, February 13th, 2026 at The Hermit Club in Playhouse Square. Presented by Arts in the Abbey, this iteration of Micro Theater CLE will feature short performances centered on the theme of love (we're talking partners, friends, canine companions - get creative!). The submission deadline is Wednesday, January 14, with creators notified by Monday, January 19. You don't need to have a fully-developed piece, just an idea. Click here for more information: https://www.microtheatercle.com/submissions At Micro Theater, we produce short performances that are staged simultaneously in different spaces throughout the same general area. Each show is performed a few times per night, so the audience can see a few short plays in an evening with time in between to chat over beers. The micro theater concept started in Madrid before launching in Miami and Buenos Aires, and in 2024 and 2025 we staged several Micro Theater events in and around Cleveland. We had a blast and we want to do it again! Traditional plays, experimental plays, dramas, comedies, physical theater, sketch, clown, burlesque, performance art, and immersive performance are all fair game. Performances should be 15-minutes or less. If you're excited about it, we'll try and make it work. We have experienced producers, directors, performers you can collaborate with, or you’re welcome to direct and cast the show on your own. And if you’re a director (or interested in trying out directing) and/or an actor and would be interested in being in someone else’s show, let us know! Please send any questions to info(a)microtheatercle.com. Micro Theater CLE is produced by Mindy Childress Herman, Samantha Cocco, and Jonathon Morgan. -- Mindy Childress Herman www.mindychildress.com www.artsintheabbey.com www.microtheatercle.com
