Although great storytelling is not limited to true, personal stories, True Theatre believes that these real moments of our lives, from the mundane to the extraordinary, give both the speaker AND the listener the ultimate sense of being part of a larger community than they were aware.

Come join us for an evening of True Theatre …where time slows down and we can listen.

Actress Needed for CRIMES OF THE HEART at Stagecrafters

SC_logoSadly, I just found out that the actress that I had cast in the role of ‘Chick’ in CRIMES OF THE HEART has to drop the role for personal reasons. I am going to miss working with her. However, that has opened up a part in the show.

Here are the particulars: Rehearsals begin with a read-thru on March 10, Tuesday in a rehearsal facility in Oakley. Show opens May 9, Saturday in Sharonville. Rehearsals divided into modified French Scenes (entrances only), and will be held, in general, TU-TH-FR at 7p, and SU at 2p. The actress will not need to be at all rehearsals until some time in April when we start working full acts, but will need to be available for 4-6 Rehearsals in March. Playing age is 30-‘ish’.

Stagecrafters is the producing theatre. The person in the role will have to be committed primarily to this show (meaning not having other show conflicts…I know you all think you can do it, but I would rather not have to worry about it). Please email director Michael L. Morehead at morehead71@gmail.com if interested

VIDEO: CCM Alum Performs with the Cast of GIGI on Good Morning America

Senior Musical Theatre major Max Clayton is Don Lockwood

Senior Musical Theatre major Max Clayton is Don Lockwood

Max Clayton (CCM MT ’14) is currently performing in the ensemble of GIGI on Broadway with Vanessa Hudgens.

Cincinnati audiences may remember Max in last season’s CCM production of SINGIN’ IN THE RAIN, where he played Don Lockwood.

On Wednesday morning, the GIGI cast performed “The Night They Invented Champagne” on Good Morning America.

It’s an energetic number. The easiest places to point Max out is at 1:35, he is on the right during the two-man lift of Gigi and at 1:50 where he is “knocked” to the floor during the catch.
