OUR WORLD and THE REWRITE on March 10

CPI_logoOUR WORLD and THE REWRITE
Cincinnati Playwrights Initiative
March 10
Aronoff Center Fifth Third Bank Theatre [Downtown]

Three related scenes — Bang, BangAisle 3, Seat 7Thoughts & Prayers — under the umbrella title OUR WORLD comprise the first part. The plays by Jim Flavin add up to tragedy emanating from our country’s besetting sin of greed.

The evening’s Part Two is Gray Shaw’s THE REWRITE, which is just what the title says it is.  A playwright constantly tinkers with his work, frustrating his characters and pushing them toward comedic rebellion.

Auditions Announced for TWO ON THE AISLE, THREE IN A VAN at Oxford Area Community Theatre

OXACT_logoSaturday, February 22nd, from 4:30-6:30pm
Sunday, February 23rd, from 5-7pm

Oxford Community Arts Center
10 S College Ave.
Oxford, OH 45056

Welcome to another stellar season at the Neighborhood Actors Summerfun Repertory Theatre, a friendly little playhouse where, due to a lack of wing space, the company spends their downtime in the parking lot around an aging hippie/now turned techie’s van.

The members of the company are the egos and obstacles that fall into the lap of Mike, a nice-guy director who ends up with far more than he bargained for. Anyone who’s ever seen a show may know these people. Anyone who’s ever done a show may be these people.

Performances: Apr. 17, 18, 19 and 24, 25, 26

Looking for a cast of six males and four females, aged 18 to 65-plus.

Questions? Contact Kayleigh Swatzell at kaswatzell@outlook.com.
