Paseo's Announces Auditions for school next year 2013-2014
Auditions
for
Paseo Academy
of Fine & Performing Arts
2013-2014 Academic Year
May 2nd & May 15th at 3:30 p.m.
Paseo is located at 4747 Flora, Kansas City, MO 64110
It has been proven in many studies that students who have a strong training in the arts do better on standardized test than students who have no arts education. The arts make not only the students better, but the community as well.
All art forms have a place at Paseo Academy. It's a place to improve your talents, show off your talents and cultivate your talents that you might not have known you had. The school, which becomes like a family, integrates the arts throughout college preparatory classes many other activities that prepare you for life after high school.
Theater is the only art form that encom¬passes all of the art forms such as creative writing, music, dance, and visual arts. The¬ater students can obtain analytical and oral language skills as well as self confidence and discipline for careers in the ever growing entertainment industry. The skills learned in theater will also be helpful in other careers outside of the entertainment industry such as, public speaking, law, and politics.
Dance is a visual art form that allows the body to act as an instrument for expression. Dance Majors have the chance to participate in the All Arts holiday performance "Holiday on the Hill", and take a trip to The Big Apple experience. To rap up the year, the entire Dance Department will present the All Arts Dance & Theater senior showcase.
VISUAL ARTS Through drawing, graphic de¬sign, ceramics, painting and printmaking, the visual art major develops a thorough under¬standing and range of skills using two-dimen¬sional media. Students are led to employ a wide range of vocabulary in visual art and polish skills, which readies them for a post secondary program of study in visual art.
Television Production/Broadcast¬ing is a Career and Technical Education program that operates out of Paseo Academy of Fine and Performing Arts. The goal of the program is two-fold: first to introduce all stu¬dents in the Kansas City Public schools to the television and broadcast journalism industry, teach them how it works and present the ca¬reer opportunities. Second, the program will prepare students to be college, career and work ready in the television and broadcasting journalism industry.
Technical theater at Paseo focuses on resume and portfolio building through hands on real life learning. Students will learn the basics in technical theater production and de¬sign in the classroom and by acting as interns for Paseo Academy and assist in the techni¬cal productions for all school events such as music, dance, and poetry performances.
The Choral Music Conservatory students study Voice Pedagogy of Perfor¬mance, Concert Choir, Chamber Choir, Theory 1 and 2, Piano 1 and 2 and Individualized Lessons. We also offer a Middle School component for 7th and 8th graders. Our Choral Music Conservatory provides many performance opportunities for students to formally and creatively express themselves. Upon completion of their choral studies stu¬dents are worthy for music scholarship, for the post secondary studies or ready for entry into the professional arena.
Creative Writing students study poetry, fic¬tion, nonfiction and playwriting. In addition to studying published works, students write critical responses to literature. Writing of exceptional merit is published in the Poets Voice, Paseo's literary magazine. You might find students reading at The Writers Place and the Blue Room.
Instrumental Music/Band students will have the desire to perform music other have composed. They either have developed skills and already play a musical instrument or have a desire to learn. They will have the discipline to be able to follow a teacher's directions and the self-discipline to practice.
Instrumental Music/Orchestra students will have the desire to perform music other have composed. They either have the skills and already play a stringed instrument or have the desire to learn. They will have the discipline to be able to follow a teacher's directions and the self-discipline to practice.
It has been proven in many studies that students who have a strong training in the arts do better on standardized test and are more likely to succeed in post secondary education than students who have no arts education. The arts make not only the students better but the community as well. Paseo Academy of the Fine and Performing Arts can make it better.
Auditions are required of all students interested in attending Paseo Academy of Fine and Performing Arts. Audition details can be found on the school website at:

Paseo Academy
of Fine & Performing Arts
2013-2014 Academic Year
May 2nd & May 15th at 3:30 p.m.
Paseo is located at 4747 Flora, Kansas City, MO 64110
It has been proven in many studies that students who have a strong training in the arts do better on standardized test than students who have no arts education. The arts make not only the students better, but the community as well.
All art forms have a place at Paseo Academy. It's a place to improve your talents, show off your talents and cultivate your talents that you might not have known you had. The school, which becomes like a family, integrates the arts throughout college preparatory classes many other activities that prepare you for life after high school.
Theater is the only art form that encom¬passes all of the art forms such as creative writing, music, dance, and visual arts. The¬ater students can obtain analytical and oral language skills as well as self confidence and discipline for careers in the ever growing entertainment industry. The skills learned in theater will also be helpful in other careers outside of the entertainment industry such as, public speaking, law, and politics.
Dance is a visual art form that allows the body to act as an instrument for expression. Dance Majors have the chance to participate in the All Arts holiday performance "Holiday on the Hill", and take a trip to The Big Apple experience. To rap up the year, the entire Dance Department will present the All Arts Dance & Theater senior showcase.
VISUAL ARTS Through drawing, graphic de¬sign, ceramics, painting and printmaking, the visual art major develops a thorough under¬standing and range of skills using two-dimen¬sional media. Students are led to employ a wide range of vocabulary in visual art and polish skills, which readies them for a post secondary program of study in visual art.
Television Production/Broadcast¬ing is a Career and Technical Education program that operates out of Paseo Academy of Fine and Performing Arts.

From Bangkok to Budapest the players, lovers, politicians, and spies manipulate and are manipulated to the pulse of a monumental rock score that includes "One Night in Bangkok" and "Heaven Help My Heart."

PRESS RELEASE
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
KC show Cirque du Gay is honored to open GayFest! in Philadelphia this August
CONTACT:
Dennis Porter at dennis@happyfacesentertainment.biz or 816-309-2460
Starting four years ago in the Kansas City Fringe Festival, Happy Faces Entertainment's production of Cirque du Gay is now heading across the United States. The show will be the opening two night performances for the three week theater festival on August 6 & 7, 2013. They have enjoyed two successful years with the Kansas City Fringe Fest, where they were selected as the "Best of" both years and highly talked about performances at the New Orleans Fringe Festival. They are honored to be the opening performances for the Philadelphia GayFest! this August. Although unable to attend, the show has also been invited to perform in the New York City Fresh Fruit Festival this summer. They are excited to "expose" new audiences to their unique blend of passion and laughter.
To help with travel costs for their trip, a fundraiser show will be held on Friday, May 3rd starting at 8:00pm at Missie B's, 805 W 39th St., KCMO. The Cirque du Gay Cabaret will feature a variety of local entertainers, as well a some segments from the Cirque du Gay show. This will not be the entire Cirque show, which you will have to wait and see the latest version at this year's KC Fringe Festival.
The full show includes Kansas City natives Dennis Porter and Peyton Westfall as they present a rainbow of entertainment and pure happy fun. After years of playing with audiences of all ages, Porter and Westfall have developed an high-energy adult show that encourages audience participation and interaction for the enjoyment of everyone. Porter and Westfall combine their impressive variety of skills and invite you into a new world of the circus. Experience the adult circus that keeps you laughing with music, dancing, clowning, juggling, puppetry, S&M and even Broadway. We also bare all, as you get a look at what happens behind the circus tent. It's not just a gay thing! "My husband and I attended your show last night. It was smart, funny and very entertaining. We had a fantastic time and laughed all the way home chatting about the show. Thanks!"-Wendy McDermott
WHAT THE CRITICS SAY!
"If you can only see one fringe show this is it. These two performers are smooth and slick and have their shtick down. Fun for everyone, with a little skin thrown in!" Richard D. Eberle, KC Stage
"This is NYC, San Francisco (and Paris, bien sûr) caliber talent. The numbers combine music, dance, lip synching, mime and comedy. The costumes were as garish and sometimes comical, as they were gorgeous and creative. The performers are at the top of their game." Joi B., Yelp.com
"Top-notch entertainment, as always Mr. Porter. Thanks for joining us last night!" Damian Blake, Kansas City Society of Burlesque

"If you can only see one fringe show this is it. These two performers are smooth and slick and have their shtick down. Fun for everyone, with a little skin thrown in!" Richard D. Eberle, KC Stage
"This is NYC, San Francisco (and Paris, bien sûr) caliber talent. The numbers combine music, dance, lip synching, mime and comedy. The costumes were as garish and sometimes comical, as they were gorgeous and creative. The performers are at the top of their game." Joi B., Yelp.com
"Top-notch entertainment, as always Mr. Porter. Thanks for joining us last night!" Damian Blake, Kansas City Society of Burlesque

Open call for "Pirates at Union Station
OPEN CALL FOR ACTORS TO PORTRAY PIRATES FEATURED
IN UNION STATION'S NEXT TRAVELING EXHIBIT
REAL PIRATES – A NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC EXHIBITION
Sunday, May 5, 2013
WHAT:
Union Station Kansas City is hiring adult actors to portray characters related to the real history of pirates in conjunction with a national exhibit scheduled to open in late June, 2013. Some actors will be needed for appearances beginning in late May, 2013. Organized by National Geographic, the exhibit titled, Real Pirates, includes the restored remains of the Whydah ship, one of the most successful pirate ships of the 18th century. It was the flagship of legendary pirate Sam Bellamy's flotilla that raided ships throughout the waters of the Caribbean and up the Atlantic coastline. It sank during a Nor'easter storm in 1717, and was discovered off the coast of Cape Cod, MA, in 1984.
Actors portraying the pirates featured in the exhibit will be needed to work in the exhibit from late June through the first week of January, and these auditions are to find the best actors for the pirate characters.
Actors should prepare a 1-minute audition monologue and bring their resume and photo. The monologue may be pirate-related, but that is not a requirement. Pirate costuming for the audition is also permitted, but not required. No weapons, please.
An online audition form is available at: https://uskc.wufoo.com/forms/pirate-auditions/
Actors may also complete the audition form at Union Station on the audition day. Those who pre-register to audition will be seen first that day.
For more information, call Charlie Frank at 816-460-2026.
WHEN:
The open auditions for these roles will be Sunday, May 5th from 11 am to 3 pm
WHERE:
Union Station Kansas City, 30 W. Pershing Road, Kansas City, MO 64108
Auditions will be held in Sprint Festival Plaza, the main hall inside of Union Station. Actors will audition on a first-come, first-serve basis. Actors who pre-register to audition will be added into the cue line for their audition before those who did not pre-register, but come that day.

It premiered on Broadway in 1959, where it broke box-office records and won the Tony Award for Best Musical. The 1965 film version won the Best Picture Oscar. Today it is an evergreen classic -- as popular in opera houses and outdoor amphitheaters as it is in high school auditoriums. "The Sound of Music" features a libretto by Howard Lindsay & Russel Crouse and a score by Richard Rodgers (music) and Oscar Hammerstein II (lyrics) that includes "My Favorite Things," "Do-Re-Mi," "Edelweiss," and "So Long, Farewell."

OCTA Announces 2013-2014 Season
OCTA is pleased to announce our 40th Season!
COMPANY
Music and Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, book by George Furth
Directed by Jason Coats
Synopsis
The clashing sounds and pulsing rhythms of New York City underscore this landmark "concept" show, considered by many to have inaugurated the modern era of musical theatre. COMPANY follows our anti-hero bachelor Robert as he makes his way through a series of encounters with April (the stewardess), Kathy (the girl who's going to marry someone else), Marta (the "peculiar" one), as well as with his married friends.
On the night of his 35th birthday, confirmed bachelor Robert contemplates his unmarried state. In vignette after hilarious vignette, we are introduced to "those good and crazy people," his married friends, as Robert weighs the pros and cons of married life. In the end, he realizes being alone is "alone, not alive."
An honest, witty, sophisticated look at relationships, COMPANY is as contemporary and relevant as ever (witness the recent hit revivals on Broadway and the West End). It features a brilliant energetic score containing many of Stephen Sondheim's best-known songs (including "Another Hundred People," "The Ladies Who Lunch" and "Being Alive"). -- MTI
Production Dates:
Sept 6, 7, 8, 13, 14, 15, 20, 21, 22 2013

SYNOPSIS
This is a powerful, true drama of six women who went to Vietnam: five nurses and a country western singer booked by an unscrupulous agent to entertain the troops. The play portrays each young woman before, during, and after her tour in the war-torn nation and ends as each leaves a personal token at the memorial wall in Washington.A Piece of My Heart premiered in New York at Manhattan Theatre Club, and now has enjoyed over 1000 productions here and abroad. It has recently been named "The most enduring play on Vietnam in the nation," by The Vietnam Vets Association.
"There have been a number of plays dealing with Viet Nam, but none with the direct, emotional impact of Ms. Lauro's work.-The New York Times - Samuel French

CHRISTMAS BELLES
By Jessie Jones, Nicholas Hope, Jamie Wooten
Directed by Gregory Chafin
It's Christmas-time in the small town of Fayro, Texas, and the Futrelle Sisters—Frankie, Twink and Honey Raye—are not exactly in a festive mood. A cranky Frankie is weeks overdue with her second set of twins. Twink, recently jilted and bitter about it, is in jail for inadvertently burning down half the town. And hot-flash-suffering Honey Raye is desperately trying to keep the Tabernacle of the Lamb's Christmas Program from spiraling into chaos. But things are not looking too promising: Miss Geneva, the ousted director of the previous twenty-seven productions, is ruthless in her attempts to take over the show. The celebrity guest Santa Claus—played by Frankie's long-suffering husband, Dub—is passing a kidney stone. One of the shepherds refuses to watch over his flock by night without pulling his little red wagon behind him. And the entire cast is dropping like flies due to food poisoning from the Band Boosters' Pancake Supper. And when Frankie lets slip a family secret that h!
as been carefully guarded for decades, all hope for a successful Christmas program seems lost, even with an Elvis impersonator at the manger. But in true Futrelle fashion, the feuding sisters find a way to pull together in order to present a Christmas program the citizens of Fayro will never forget. Their hilarious holiday journey through a misadventure-filled Christmas Eve is guaranteed to bring joy to your world! – DPS

LITTLE WOMEN
Music by Jason Howland
Lyrics by Mindi Dickstein
Book by Allan Knee
Based on the novel by Louisa May Alcott
Directed by Julie Ewing
SYNOPSIS
Based on Louisa May Alcott's own family experiences (and novel), LITTLE WOMEN, follows the adventures of Jo, Meg, Beth and Amy March as they grow up in Civil War America. The beloved story of the March sisters is timeless and deals with issues as relevant today as when they were written. Now, this wonderful narrative has been brought to life as an exhilarating new musical filled with glorious music, dancing and heart. LITTLE WOMEN embodies the complete theatrical experience, guaranteeing a night filled with laughter, tears, and a lifting of the spirit. This powerful score soars with the sounds of personal discovery, heartache and hope -- the sounds of a young America finding its voice. In years to come, we are sure that hundreds of productions by schools and theatres throughout the world will make this stage adaptation of the American classic novel a classic musical theatre treasure in its own right. – MTI

SYNOPSIS: The collaborators on Chess (Music by Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus of the pop group ABBA and lyrics by Tim Rice of Jesus Christ Superstar and Evita), have created a complex rock opera that played to full Broadway houses and standing ovations.

The pawns in this drama form a love triangle: the loutish American chess star, the earnest Russian champion and a Hungarian American female assistant who arrives at the international chess match in Bangkok with the American but falls for the Russian. From Bangkok to Budapest the players, lovers, politicians, and spies manipulate and are manipulated to the pulse of a monumental rock score that includes "One Night in Bangkok" and "Heaven Help My Heart."

The Barn Players 2014 Season!
Announcing
THE BARN PLAYERS 2014 SEASON
Our 59th continuous season of great plays and musicals!
BLOODY BLOODY ANDREW JACKSON February 28 – March 16
Music & Lyrics by Michael Friedman RATED R
Book by Alex Timbers
This musical tells the story of America's first political maverick. A.J. kicked British butt, shafted the Indians and smacked down the Spaniards all in the name of these United States--who cares if he didn't have permission? An exhilarating and white-knuckled look at one of our nation's founding rock stars, the show recreates and reinvents the life of "Old Hickory," from his humble beginnings on the Tennessee frontier to his days as Commander-in-Chief.
FOLLIES April 18 – May 4
Music & Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim RATED PG
Book by James Goldman
The year is 1971, and theatrical impresario Dimitri Weissmann hosts a reunion of ex-Follies performers in his crumbling theatre, setting the stage for a parade of brilliant pastiche numbers, including "Losing My Mind," "I'm Still Here," and "Broadway Baby." Amid the reminiscing, two middle-aged couples confront some unpleasant truths about their past and present and come face to face with the future. Surreal, sophisticated, compelling, heart-wrenching and epic in scope, this show uses the musical theatre as a metaphor for the collapse of American innocence and naivete in the post-Kennedy years.
AUGUST: OSAGE COUNTY May 30 – June 15
By Tracy Letts RATED R
A vanished father. A pill-popping mother. Three sisters harboring shady little secrets. When the large Weston family unexpectedly reunites after Dad disappears, their Oklahoman family homestead explodes in a maelstrom of repressed truths and unsettling secrets. Mix in Violet, the drugged-up, scathingly acidic matriarch, and you've got a major new play that unflinchingly—and uproariously—exposes the dark side of the Midwestern American family.
NOISES OFF July 18 – August 3
By Michael Frayn RATED PG-13
Called the funniest farce ever written, this play presents a manic menagerie of characters as a cast of itinerant actors rehearsing a flop play called Nothing's On. Doors slamming, on and backstage intrigue, and an errant herring all figure in the plot of this hilarious and classically comic play.
HAIR September 19 – October 5
Music by Galt MacDermot RATED R
Lyrics & Book by Gerome Ragni & James Rado
This classic rock musical tells the story of Vietnam-era youths awkwardly but exuberantly creating their own rite of passage through the confusion around them. With themes of alienation and civil disobedience Hair illustrates the '60s generation's search for meaning through various "be-ins," "love-ins" and protests. Phenomenal musical numbers include Aquarius, Good Morning Starshine, Hair, I Got Life, Let The Sunshine In and Easy To Be Hard.
LA CAGE AUX FOLLES November 7 - 23
Music & Lyrics by Jerry Herman RATED PG
Book by Harvey Fierstein
After twenty years of un-wedded bliss Georges and Albin, two men partnered for better-or-worse get a bit of both when Georges' son (fathered during a one-night fling) announces his impending marriage to the daughter of a bigoted, right-wing politician. Further complicating the situation is the 'family business': Albin and Georges run a transvestite nightclub in St. Tropez, where Albin is the "star" performer 'Zaza'. When Anne's parents want to come and meet Jean-Michel's mother and father, chaos ensues.
BARN JUNIOR PRODUCTIONS…
SHREK: THE MUSICAL A Barn Jr. Production January 17 - 26
Music by Jeanine Tesori RATED PG
Book & Lyrics by David Linsday-Abaire
Based on the Oscar® winning DreamWorks film that started it all, this musical brings the hilarious story of everyone's favorite ogre to dazzling new life on the stage. In a faraway kingdom turned upside down, things get ugly when an unseemly ogre — not a handsome prince — shows up to rescue a feisty princess. Throw in a donkey who won't shut up, a bad guy with a short temper, a cookie with an attitude and over a dozen other fairy tale misfits, and you've got the kind of mess that calls for a real hero.

THE BARN PLAYERS 2014 SEASON
Our 59th continuous season of great plays and musicals!
BLOODY BLOODY ANDREW JACKSON February 28 – March 16
Music & Lyrics by Michael Friedman RATED R
Book by Alex Timbers
This musical tells the story of America's first political maverick. A.J. kicked British butt, shafted the Indians and smacked down the Spaniards all in the name of these United States--who cares if he didn't have permission? An exhilarating and white-knuckled look at one of our nation's founding rock stars, the show recreates and reinvents the life of "Old Hickory," from his humble beginnings on the Tennessee frontier to his days as Commander-in-Chief.
FOLLIES April 18 – May 4
Music & Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim RATED PG
Book by James Goldman
The year is 1971, and theatrical impresario Dimitri Weissmann hosts a reunion of ex-Follies performers in his crumbling theatre, setting the stage for a parade of brilliant pastiche numbers, including "Losing My Mind," "I'm Still Here," and "Broadway Baby." Amid the reminiscing, two middle-aged couples confront some unpleasant truths about their past and present and come face to face with the future. Surreal, sophisticated, compelling, heart-wrenching and epic in scope, this show uses the musical theatre as a metaphor for the collapse of American innocence and naivete in the post-Kennedy years.
AUGUST: OSAGE COUNTY May 30 – June 15
By Tracy Letts RATED R
A vanished father. A pill-popping mother. Three sisters harboring shady little secrets. When the large Weston family unexpectedly reunites after Dad disappears, their Oklahoman family homestead explodes in a maelstrom of repressed truths and unsettling secrets. Mix in Violet, the drugged-up, scathingly acidic matriarch, and you've got a major new play that unflinchingly—and uproariously—exposes the dark side of the Midwestern American family.
NOISES OFF July 18 – August 3
By Michael Frayn RATED PG-13
Called the funniest farce ever written, this play presents a manic menagerie of characters as a cast of itinerant actors rehearsing a flop play called Nothing's On. Doors slamming, on and backstage intrigue, and an errant herring all figure in the plot of this hilarious and classically comic play.
HAIR September 19 – October 5
Music by Galt MacDermot RATED R
Lyrics & Book by Gerome Ragni & James Rado
This classic rock musical tells the story of Vietnam-era youths awkwardly but exuberantly creating their own rite of passage through the confusion around them. With themes of alienation and civil disobedience Hair illustrates the '60s generation's search for meaning through various "be-ins," "love-ins" and protests. Phenomenal musical numbers include Aquarius, Good Morning Starshine, Hair, I Got Life, Let The Sunshine In and Easy To Be Hard.
