CSP(OH) Seeks Angel

HELP! We lost our Angel in the CenterStage Players – Ohio production of THE BUTTERFINGERS ANGEL, MARY & JOSEH, HEROD THE NUT, AND THE SLAUGHTER OF TWELVE HIT CAROLS IN A PEAR TREE. This is a funny, charming Nativity play. Think Saturday Night Live meets a church pageant.

We need an actor who can play early 20’s who has a flair for comedy.

Performance dates are December 7, 8, 9, 13, 14, 15.

Rehearsals are mostly Tues and Thurs nights and Sunday afternoons. Rehearsals and performances are at the North College Hill City Center.

Interested? Contact the director Dee Dunn dunnt@fuse.net.

TDW Seeks Directors for 2013-2014 Directors

The Drama Workshop is scheduling director interviews for our 2013-2014 season. This is a very exciting time for The Drama Workshop as we now own our own theater in the former Glenmore Bowling Alley in Cheviot. We hope to produce a season consisting of 4 shows in the new Glenmore Playhouse in the fall of 2013.

TDW has a list of 15 plays that are under consideration by the TDW board for the 2013-2014 season. We encourage potential directors to read any or all of the plays under consideration. To obtain the list of plays contact Gretchen Gantner (contact info below). It is not necessary to read all of the plays to apply for a directorship.

*** This year we are asking our director candidates to pitch one additional “wild card” show of your choosing, suitable for attracting a wide audience in our new theater space. These can be a holiday show, musical, comedy, drama, children’s show etc, but should be of a big-draw, widely known caliber. ***

We are asking that interested potential directors attend a scheduled interview at The Glenmore Playhouse.

Interviews will be conducted in early November. Should you wish to schedule an interview time, please contact Gretchen Gantner at 513.470.5516 or at GRoose1876@aol.com.

9/24 – Roles have been filled.

Want to be a hero and save a production? Stagecrafters needs an actor and actress for two parts in “Central Park West”, part of “Death Defying Acts.” This is about an hour-long play.

Show opens October 6 then matinee on the 7th, evenings on the 12th & 13th and another matinee on the 14th. Rehearsal this Sunday and Thursday then every night the following week. Need to be motivated and quick to learn lines and able to make all remaining rehearsals.

Female to play Juliet, early to mid 20s. Earnest & polite supposed girlfriend of married, middle-aged man. One male to play Howard. Good comedic role with many lines when he is onstage but he exits several times for several pages.

Call or text immediately if you can seriously do either of these parts. The other actors ate fun to work with, prepared and eager to do the show and deserve the chance to have their work seen.

If you know anyone who might be interested please pass this along. Next rehearsal is Sunday Sept. 23 so time is crucial. Cynthia.emmer@yahoo.com. 513.227.1334.
