SUMMER MOCKBUSTER Sketch Comedy Show on June 16

TCO_Summer Mockbuster.jpg

Yes, summer brings with it heat, humidity, Reds Baseball, and — in a cruel joke from Mother Nature — cicadas four years early. But it also brings with it explosions, giant robots, superheroes, and mutant animal hybrids.

On the big screen, that is.

On Friday, June 16th, The Company will celebrate the tradition of summer blockbusters. A tradition that started with a giant shark named Bruce, and will continue until like … Transformers 27 or something. SUMMER MOCKBUSTER is an all-original live sketch comedy show, featuring new sketches written by The Company members, along with some classic movie-themed favorites from our archives.

We will be performing at the wonderful Lindner Event Center at the Kennedy Heights Arts Center Annex (6620 Montgomery Rd., at the corner of Montgomery and Kennedy). Doors open at 7:30, and the show starts at 8. Tickets are only $10, and feel free to BYOB (but there will be some treats and things for purchase).
Tickets are available at the door for CASH ONLY, or on our website (www.thecompanypresents.com) with credit card or Paypal. So get your tickets now, and come ready to laugh with The Company. We’re gonna make it a thing.

(Please note that the show will feature adult humor and will not be suitable for children or anyone that might be offended by crude jokes and profanity.)

Directed by Colin Cronin

Auditions Announced for THE CURIOUS SAVAGE at Mason Community Players

MCP_logoAuditions for THE CURIOUS SAVAGE will be held at Theatre 42, 2752 S Route 42, Lebanon, OH 45036, on Thursday, June 22nd from 7:00 to 9:00 pm and again on Sunday, June 25th also from 7:00 to 9:00 pm.

Expect cold readings from the script.

THE CURIOUS SAVAGE, written by John Patrick, is a comedic play about Ethel P. Savage, an elderly woman whose husband recently died and left her approximately ten million dollars. Contrasting the kindness and loyalty of psychiatric patients with the avarice and vanity of “respectable” public figures, it calls into question conventional definitions of sanity while lampooning celebrity culture.

THE CURIOUS SAVAGE will be presented October 6, 7, 8, 12, 13 & 14 at Theatre 42. For a list of characters and a description of each, click on this link!

For additional information please contact the director, Gail Rudolph at grudolph@gmail.com.

Casting Call for 3rd Annual Cincinnati One-Minute Play Festival

KTC_One Minute Play Festival logoKaren O’Brien, a professional director, is looking for talent to perform in the Festival at the Know Theatre.  The One-­Minute Play Festival (#1MPF) is a grassroots community-engaged theatre festival. #1MPF is social barometer practice, which investigates local zeitgeist and narratives through dialogue, consensus building, and a performance of minute-long moments generated by each community. For more information visit: www.oneminuteplayfestival.com.

There are 6 – 10 new one-minute plays with flexible casting requirements that are diverse in race, age, gender and all frames of representation. There will be about 10-20 hours of rehearsal time in June and early July (times and dates TBD). Rehearsal time depends how many characters you are cast to portray. Alas, there is no pay for these performances.

Given that a roster of actors are needed by June 3rd, the director may make casting decisions based upon actors’ resume, headshot and list of conflicts for evening and weekend rehearsals between June 5th and July 9th rather than have actors audition.

Performances:

  • Saturday July 8th at 9a-8pm for Tech and Performance at 8P (7pm call)
  • Sunday, July 9th at 3pm (2pm call)
  • Sunday, July 9th at 8pm (7pm call)

If interested, email your resume, headshot and a file with a list of conflicts to Richard Zenk, Stage Manager at richardjoseph@gmail.com by June 3rd.
