To submit a video audition:
I seen a rainbow yesterday
But too many storms have come and joined
Leavin’ a trace of not one God-given ray
Is it because my life is ten shades of gray
I pray, all ten fade away, seldom praise Him for the sunny days (Minimum stop point)
And like His promise is true, only my faith can undo
The many chances I blew to bring my life to anew
Clear and blue and unconditional
Skies have dried the tears from my eyes, no more lonely cries

Production: ANSCHEL by Michael London
ANSCHEL is the true story of a survivor. An 11 year-old boy when German soldiers over-ran Poland in 1939, Anschel was a Polish Jew who was clever beyond his years. Time after time, year after year, when captured by Nazi soldiers and armed SS guards, he escaped and escaped, and escaped. At the end of the war, he was a teenager and the only one of his family to survive the Holocaust. This is his story.
The tour sponsor, the Dayton Holocaust Resource Center (DHRC) is pleased to announce
the auditions for the play ANSCHEL. This one-person play will tour in a variety of cities in
Ohio in the Fall of 2025.
Creative Team:
Dates:
Compensation: Non-Union Contract.
Roles: Actor/ASM 1 & Actor/ASM 2 – for Anschel – Male 18 – 23
The role of Anschel requires great physicality and energy. As a solo performer, the talent will need to command attention and be able to shift between accents and characters of varying ages. Actors who are cast will need to learn Polish, German and Yiddish accents for the role. Please note: As this is a period piece, actors who are cast may be asked to change their hair and/or facial hair. In addition to performing, actors are also responsible for setting up and striking the show and possibly driving between venues.
Audition Details: Auditions will be conducted online via Zoom.

THE GHOSTLIGHT STAGE COMPANY SEEKS NEW BOARD MEMBERS FOR 25/26 SEASON
(RUNNING JUNE 2025 TO MAY 2026)
BOARD MEMBER DUTIES INCLUDE:
ABOUT THE GHOSTLIGHT:
The Ghostlight Stage Company is a nonprofit arts organization in the Greater Cincinnati area that is breaking down barriers and innovating new ways to experience the arts. The Ghostlight Stage Company is just as the name suggests. Similarly to how a ghost light in a theater is a constant reliable source of light at all times regardless of if the theater is open or not, we hope to be that for our community.
At The Ghostlight Stage Company, we constantly challenge the idea of what a “stage” can be with programming that inspires collaboration between all of the art mediums. With our founders being inspired by the way musical theatre encourages designers, dancers, composers, actors, directors, and more to collaborate and create something together; The Ghostlight wants to take this idea even further with programming that goes beyond just traditional theatre. We prioritize our four core values in everything we do and pursue our mission through: community-engaging theatrical experiences, innovative interdisciplinary arts events, and unique educational programming for both youth and young professionals.
