AUDITIONS FOR THE TWENTIETH CENTURY WAY BY TOMJACOBSON, DIRECTED BY CLYDE SIMON SUNDAY,OCT 17, starting 2pm at convergence-continuum (2438 Scranton Rd, Cleveland 44113) Rolesfor two 30ish, white males TheTwentieth Century Way by Tom Jacobson is a two-person play and a real tourde force for two good actors. The two characters are themselves actors,Brown and Warren, and the play is based on the true story of two actual actorswho hired themselves out in 1914 to the Long Beach, CA police department toentrap gay men in private clubs and public restrooms for “oral sodomy.” Butit’s a fictionalized, very theatrical version, starting with the two actorsBrown and Warren waiting backstage before an audition for a movie. It turns outto be a long wait and to pass the time, Warren challenges Brown to animprovisation – which becomes the story of entering the hidden world ofrestrooms and private parties (mostly the latter) and the interactions with themen they ensnare. Overthe course of the “improvisation” they each play 6 – 10 roles, dropping in andout of character (i.e. back to Brown and Warren) in rapid succession. The playis as much about the nature of acting (both onstage and off) as it is about therelationship between the two men and sexual identity, institutionalizedcorruption and the conscience of civil servants carrying out questionableduties. (Also been described as “hilariously funny and simultaneously deadlyserious”) PLEASECONTACT CLYDE SIMON AT CSIMON(a)CONVERGENCE-CONTINUUM.ORG FOR FURTHER DETAILS AND FOR SETTING UP AUDITION TIMES. Another of Jacobson's plays, Ouroboros, had been produced at con-con before. His plays have a very shrewd, intricate,layered, meta-theatrical approach to bending and blending the real and unreal.Challenging, and really good stuff!

Berko review: THE EXONORATED @ Beck Center for the Arts
by Roy Berko 09 Oct '21

09 Oct '21

*•••••••••••••••••••••••••••* *CAPSULE JUDGMENT: THE EXONERATED has a strong and important message. It is one that anyone interested in civil justice should hear. The docu-drama methodology of one speech following another relayed the idea, but didn’t make for compelling theater.* *To read the entire review go to: **www.royberko.info* <http://www.royberko.info/>*. ** To read the capsule judgements of the other Cleveland reviewers go to: **www.clevelandtheaterreviews.com <http://www.clevelandtheaterreviews.com/>* *••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••*

The Exonerated at Beck Center for the Arts
by Julie Gilliland 08 Oct '21

08 Oct '21

Opening Weekend! Don't miss the amazing direction of Colleen Longshaw Jackson, and the cast of Stuart Hoffman, Amy Fritsche*, Greg White, Isaiah Betts, Mell-Vonti Bowens, Abraham Adams*, Andrea Belser, Samantha Cocco, Keith Kornajcik, and John Polk (* denotes AEA member) Beck Center for the Arts Produces Spellbinding Docu-Drama, The Exonerated Lakewood, OH-Beck Center for the Arts<http://www.beckcenter.org/> is honored to announce an important production in the realm of social justice, The Exonerated<https://www.beckcenter.org/shows/exonerated>. The Exonerated, written by Jessica Blank and Erik Jensen, is directed by local talent, Colleen Longshaw Jackson<https://www.linkedin.com/in/colleen-longshaw-jackson-959237169/>, and runs October 8 - November 7, 2021, in the Studio Theater. This cast of ten talented local actors includes Actor Equity Association members Amy Fritsche<https://www.kent.edu/theatredance/profile/amy-fritsche>, and Abraham Adams<https://abrahammadams.com/>. This docu-drama recounts first-person narratives in dramatic form through the legal records of six wrongly convicted inmates. The accounts of the falsely-accused explore these people's lives after being sentenced to death, and the legal proceedings that gained their exoneration. Called "The number one play of the year.....intense and deeply satisfying" by The New York Times. Director Colleen Longshaw Jackson says, "What drew me to this piece was the opportunity to showcase human resilience with an honest glimpse of the consequences and lasting effects trauma can have on a person. As we all fight to come out on the other side of this pandemic it is important that we recognize the cost to fight and realize that the effects will last far longer than the pandemic itself. As a nation, we will ultimately survive but we will forever be changed. And as some of us commit or recommit to social justice causes across the country we are challenged to 'Say Their Names' and 'Never Forget' until justice. The lives of the exonerated in this piece matter as well so we say their names and tell their stories, and my hope is that the audience will be inspired to act in some way to make our country a more just and equitable place to be. There are innocent people still suffering. Still waiting. The fight is not finished, and whatever your weapon; power, privilege, prayer - I urge you to pick it up and fight." This play is produced by special arrangement with Dramatists Play Service, Inc., New York. Tickets are currently on sale at 216-521-2540 x 10, on Beck Center's campus at 17801 Detroit Ave, Lakewood, Ohio 44107 or at beckcenter.org.<https://www.beckcenter.org/shows/exonerated> Ticket prices start at $34 (adults), $30 (for seniors 65 and older) and $12 for students with valid ID.
