Auditions Announced for NET’s RACE

NETNew Edgecliff Theatre announces auditions for their production of RACE by David Mamet. The production will be directed by Daryl Harris. Auditions will be held Sunday January 25, 1-4pm with call-backs on Monday January 26 at 7pm at 1622 Blue Rock Rd.

Multiple Award-winning playwright/director David Mamet tackles America’s most controversial topic in a provocative new tale of sex, guilt and bold accusations. Two lawyers find themselves defending a wealthy white executive charged with raping a black woman. When a new legal assistant gets involved in the case, the opinions that boil beneath explode to the surface. When David Mamet turns the spotlight on what we think but can’t say, dangerous truths are revealed, and no punches are spared.

We are casting the following roles:

  • Jack Lawson – a white attorney in his forties or fifties
  • Charles Strickland – a white business man in his forties or fifties
  • Susan – a black woman in her twenties

The role of Henry Brown has been cast.

Rehearsals begin March 15. The performances run April 9 through 25.

To schedule an appointment, send an email to auditions@newedgecliff.com. Walk ups will be seen if time allows.

Seasons Sweetings with New Edgecliff Radio Show on Dec. 14

Seasons Sweetings with New Edgecliff Radio Show
It’s a new reason to believe.

NET_Seasons SweetingsThis December New Edgecliff Theatre’s (NET) ever-popular radio drama fundraiser “Sweet Suspense” becomes Seasons Sweetings for the holidays.

The players of fictional WNET radio station return to put their stamp on the holiday classic A Miracle on 34th Street. They bring to life the entire story through dozens of character voices and live Foley sound effects by Media Heritage’s Mike Martini. The WNET Radio Players will perform a one-night only event at 7pm, Sunday, December 14 at Northside Tavern. Seating is limited, so order tickets early. This holiday classic features returning NET actors and several new performers, portraying a variety of voice roles for a live studio audience – but not broadcast!

“Radio theatre is a wonderful thing to experience,” says artistic director Jim Stump. “The audience gets to actually see sound effects being created, while actors not only perform on microphone, but interact off-microphone as well. It’s fascinating and entertaining.”

In addition to the performance, the audience will be treated to The Midwest Culinary Institute of Cincinnati State providing delectable desserts to treat your taste buds, and “Sweet Suspense” regular Bob Allen returns to direct.

Listen as Macy’s Department Store comes to life in the Theatre of the Mind as you are whisked away to yesteryear in this radio adaptation of one of the most beloved retro Christmas tales. Listen as store manager Doris Walker frantically hires a replacement Santa for the Thanksgiving Day Parade. Is he the real Kris Kringle, or just a sad, delusional man? Beliefs and sanity are tested when Kris is thrown into an asylum, but with the help of a friendly lawyer and the belief of a little girl, the true Spirit of Christmas endures. Tickets are available online at CincyTicket.com or by calling 1.888.428.7311. All tickets are $35 for adults and $20 for children 12 and under.
