by Julie Gilliland 02 Aug '21

02 Aug '21

Now through August 8th, for Beck Center for the Arts' This Girl Laughs, This Girl Cries, This Girl Does Nothing, First Live And In-Person Production Since Start of Pandemic Lakewood, OH-Beck Center for the Arts<http://www.beckcenter.org/> is pleased to announce its first live and in-person play since the start of the worldwide pandemic, This Girl Laughs, This Girl Cries, This Girl Does Nothing. Produced by Scott Spence, This Girl Laughs, This Girl Cries, This Girl Does Nothing reminds us we are all born of flesh and made of dreams. This tale brings to life the struggles and aspirations of three sisters as one walks the globe to find her purpose, one searches for adventure, and the third grows where she is planted. Years later their journeys convene in a lovely home in the woods, albeit with a truculent badger. Experience this brilliant piece of theater--perfect for audiences young and old alike-with actress Derdriu Ring, and director Eric Schmiedl as they light our imaginations on fire. Front Row Center, NewYorkTheatre.com says of Irish playwright Finegan Kruckemeyer, "He has created a kind of magical mythical fairy tale. In anticipation of welcoming theater patrons back to the newly named Senney Theater Beck Center made a number of investments in HVAC and air filtration to provide a safe environment for patrons as they return to live theater. Now in his 31st season, Beck Center for the Arts' Artistic Director Scott Spence<https://www.beckcenter.org/about/leadership> says, "I can't think of a better way to plunge back into the world of live theater where vibrant storytelling draws the audience in. This Girl Laughs, This Girl Cries, and This Girl Does Nothing tells the story of three very different sisters as they take life-altering journeys, and is brought to life by one of Northeast Ohio's preeminent actresses...Derdriu Ring. It's a story that is perfect for young and old alike, and you'll rarely get a chance to see anything quite like it on area stages."

Acting is a competitive business, put yourself a step ahead of your competition by taking acting classes at Houde School of Acting
by Jessica Houde 01 Aug '21

01 Aug '21

Hi Guys, August online classes are nearly filled, but we do have a few more spots available in our Complete, Full and Whole packages. Each of these monthly packages includes up to 5 classes per week for $200 per month. Classes include Meisner, Improv, Script Analysis, Self-Tape Coaching and Working Actor's Class Check out each package on our website for details about the classes and class times. Classes start Wednesday August 4th. https://www.houdeschoolofacting.com/online-registration Sincerely,Jessica Houde-MorrisHoude School Of Acting P.S. Below is a little more info about each class: Meisner Technique - An interdependent series of exercises that build upon one another. The more complex work supports a command of dramatic text. Meisner students work on a series of progressively complex exercises to develop an ability to improvise, to access an emotional life, and finally to bring the spontaneity of improvisation and the richness of personal response to text Improv - Considered by some to be the core of good acting, improv training develops the performers ability to be spontaneous and in the moment. Very useful in the audition room and on set. Script Analysis - Learn how to analyze audition sides and find all the clues hidden within. This class helps actors make specific, informed choices about their characters and relationships with other characters, as well as familiarize actors with the setting and plot. Self-Tape Coaching - Learn how to apply the Script Analysis into a professionally recorded self-taped audition by submitting and receiving feedback on a weekly basis. The Working Actor’s Class - Taught by either James Madio, Keith Brooks, Robert Pralgo or Kurt Yue (Combined 446 IMDB TV & Film Credits) Each Friday one of these working actors will go over a choice topic pertaining to the field of acting. Here is an opportunity to learn from the best! You can take all of these classes by signing up for one of our all-inclusive packages or sign up for just one of these classes.

Berko review: Altar Boyz @ Porthouse
by Roy Berko 01 Aug '21

01 Aug '21

*•••••••••••••••••••••••••••* *Capsule Judgment: ALTAR BOYZ has a weak script and score, but in the hands of the competent Kent/Cespedes/Swoboda combo, the Porthouse production is more than the material deserves. It’s worth the drive to the grounds at Blossom to see how to make a near “something” from a near “nothing.”* *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/> *••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••*
