THE STORY: In The Realistic Joneses, we meet Bob and Jennifer and their new neighbors, John and Pony, two suburban couples who have even more in common than their identical homes and their shared last names. As their relationships begin to irrevocably intertwine, the Joneses must decide between their idyllic fantasies and their imperfect realities. Performances are the first three weekends in May, 2019 (Friday and Saturday nights only, 8pm). Director: Claudia Lillibridge. Rehearsals will typically be Sunday – through Wednesdays from 7pm – 9pm. Much will be based on cast conflicts / availability. Characters: BOB JONES – Jennifer’s husband JENNIFER JONES – Bob’s wife JOHN JONES – Bob and Jennifer’s new neighbor; husband to Pony PONY JONES – Bob and Jennifer’s new neighbor; wife to John Bob and Jennifer Jones are the “older” couple and John and Pony Jones are the “younger” couple, but ages ultimately will depend upon those auditioning 🙂 TMPAC is a 501c3 non-profit entity and is a proud member of the Twinsburg Chamber of Commerce, Twinsburg Historical Society, OCTA and AACT.

Western Reserve Playhouse Announces Auditions for ...

Auditions ; Call for Artists ; Volunteer

Posted: Feb 09, 2019

Show Dates May 31-June 15, 2019 SYNOPSIS: George, a professor at a small college, and his wife, Martha, have just returned home, drunk from a Saturday night party. Martha announces, amidst general profanity, that she has invited a young couple—an opportunistic new professor at the college and his shatteringly naïve new bride—to stop by for a nightcap. When they arrive the charade begins. The drinks flow and suddenly inhibitions melt. It becomes clear that Martha is determined to seduce the young professor, and George couldn’t care less. But underneath the edgy banter, which is crossfired between both couples, lurks an undercurrent of tragedy and despair. George and Martha’s inhuman bitterness toward one another is provoked by the enormous personal sadness that they have pledged to keep to themselves: a secret that has seemingly been the foundation for their relationship. In the end, the mystery in which the distressed George and Martha have taken refuge is exposed, once and for all revealing the degrading mess they have made of their lives. Audition Dates: March 3, 2019 -7:30PM-9PM March 4, 2019 – 6:30PM-8PM Callbacks if needed March 4, 2019 8PM Location: 3326 Everett Road, Bath, Ohio 44286 PLEASE SIGN UP AT: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/508054EADA92AA5F85-whos Directed By Kelly Strand Auditions will consist of cold readings from the script.

Call for Student Artists: Art Inspires Scholarship...

Call for Artists

Posted: Nov 07, 2018

StriveTogether launched the Art Inspires Scholarship in spring 2018 to support student artists in their educational journeys. Students created artwork that reflected StriveTogether’s core values: community, courage, equity, progress, and results. Five winners received a $1,000 scholarship and now have their artwork displayed in StriveTogether’s Cincinnati headquarters. This year, to help additional students pay for their schooling and associated costs, StriveTogether is launching the scholarship again, searching for more creative students to receive this prize and for more original artwork to exhibit in our offices. The artwork created will inspire StriveTogether staff and partners each day as they work to achieve the organization’s vision: the success of every child from cradle to career. At our 2018 national conference, we were inspired by Christian Paige, a talented spoken word poet, first-generation college student, and educator. At the conference, he performed two poems. His poem “Trees” speaks of supporting and empowering youth — “watering seeds” — to grow community change. His poem “The Eyes of Your Enemy” challenges communities to act urgently to support their children. Learn more by reading Christian’s guest blog. Applicants will be asked to create a work of art that reflects a theme from one of Christian’s poems. Applications must be submitted by Friday, May 10, 2019. Scholarship winners will be notified by Wednesday, May 29, 2019, and will receive their award upon receipt of proof of enrollment at an eligible postsecondary institution and submission of their artwork to the local Cradle to Career Network partnership. In addition to the scholarship award, StriveTogether will cover costs to ship the selected artwork to its offices.

Founded in 1981, the Ucross Foundation in Sheridan, Wyoming, provides uninterrupted time, work space, and living accommodations to competitively selected visual artists, writers, and composers from all over the world. The foundation currently is accepting applications for its 2019 Fall Residency program, which runs from August to December. Residencies vary in length from two weeks to six weeks. At any one time, there are up to nine individuals in residence — a mix of visual artists, writers, and composers. In most cases, studios are separate from living quarters. Lunch and dinners are prepared Monday to Friday by a professional chef with ample provisions on hand for breakfasts and weekends. In addition, there is cell phone service on the property and several wireless Internet connection sites are available for resident use. Residents are responsible for providing their own working materials and for their travel to Sheridan. While there is a $40 nonrefundable application fee, there is no charge for a residency. Artists, writers, and composers from around the United States and the world, in any stage of their professional career, are invited to apply to work on an individual or collaborative project.

If your school or non-profit organization believes in the role of fine instruments in your program, and can show evidence of need and commitment to raising matching funds, you are a strong candidate for the Classics for Kids matching grant program. The Classics for Kids Foundation empowers young people to shape their futures through music, helps build sustainable stringed instrument music programs, and provides grants for the purchase of high-quality instruments. To that end, matching grants of up to $5,000 will be awarded to schools or nonprofit organizations that incorporate fine instruments in their music programs. To be eligible, public or private schools and nonprofit organizations must demonstrate need and a commitment to raising matching funds. We accept grant applications quarterly. Grant deadlines are: June 30, September 30, December 31 and March 31.
