The Knights last show tomorrow
TOMORROW IS YOUR LAST CHANCE TO SEE THE KNIGHTS! The Gorilla Theatre Productions will be presenting their 22nd annual Greek show on the South steps of the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, Saturday, June 29 and Sunday, June 30, at 7:30am.
This year's show will be a production of Aristophanes's The Knights (424 BCE). Aristophanes was a Greek comic playwright in 5th c. Athens, and what that means is a crazy plot, vicious swipes at political and social leaders, and lots of sex jokes. In this play, which won first prize at the Lenaea festival, Aristophanes takes on Cleon, who once sued Aristophanes for his play The Babylonians. Aristophanes vowed revenge, and this play was that revenge. Come and watch an ancient political grudge match played out with jokes and general silliness. It's a great way to start the day, and should provide lots of fodder for water cooler discussions come Monday, July 1st.
WARNING: Parental Guidance suggested, this is -- after all -- a Greek Comedy.
The play this year will be directed by James Dean Carter & David Brisco Luby with original live music by Patrick Conway and musicians Mark Southerland and Brad Cox. Choreography of by Kosha Johnson. Neil Swanson-Chrisman is the Costume Designer and Chester White will be the Scenic and Props Designer.
Cast List: the CHORUS of the KNIGHTS: Carol Leighton, Michelle Stelting-Mauler, Marc Abelson, Bernard Norcott-Mahany & Mark Bryant. Joe Whalen as DEMOSTHENES, Frank McCabe as NICIAS, Darrel Bailey as AGORACRITUS the SAUSAGE-SELLER, Ray Ettinger as CLEON, & Michael Patton as DEMOS.
Gorilla Theatre is working its way through all surviving Greek plays without repeating. This will be one of the last plays of the playwright Aristophanes. Here are some of the Summer Greek Shows of Aristophanes's we have done:
LYSISTRATA by Aristophanes 1992
THE POET & THE WOMEN by Aristophanes 1996
THE FROGS by Aristophanes 1998
THE CLOUDS by Aristophanes 2002
THE WASPS by Aristophanes 2006
THE BIRDS by Aristophanes 2009
For more information call Gorilla Theatre Productions at: 816-510-3372 or on Facebook

Flashdance - The Musical brings ‘80s pop culture to Starlight Theatre’s stage July 9-14
Thirty years after the film Flashdance hit the box office, it is being brought to life in a national tour on its way to Broadway. Grab an oversized sweatshirt, some leg warmers and throw a bucket of water over yourself in preparation for Flashdance-The Musical at Starlight Theatre July 9-14.
Flashdance -The Musical tells the inspiring and unforgettable story of Alex Owens, a working-class girl from Pittsburgh with a dream of becoming a professional dancer.

In addition to these hits, 16 new original songs have been written for the stage by Robbie Roth and Robert Cary. This show contains mature content and strong language which is not suitable for all ages. Parental Guidance is suggested.
"For me, a baby boomer, this show is just iconic," said Denton Yockey, President and Executive Producer of Starlight Theatre. "The theme of pursuing your dream despite the obstacles is a timeless message. And adults will love the '80s retro music with cultural references."

Mr. Hays received his Bachelors in Music in Instrumental Education with an emphasis in piano performance from William Carey University in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. Ryan has had the privilege to work with high school & college students as well as working with individual performing arts groups throughout his career. Over the past ten years, it has been his honor to work with the Miracles choir, a group of 24 men & women with intellectual disabilities at a prestigious community center in Mississippi; traveling over 15000 miles and performing over 80 concerts annually as their choral director and accompanist. In addition to his artistic direction Mr. Hays managed the performing & creative arts program at the center, developed strategic publicity initiatives and produced two recordings with the Miracles.
Ryan is excited about transitioning to Kansas City to continue his love of coaching and mentoring youth as the artistic director of PerformOUTKC. Ryan is looking forward to contributing his time and talents to POKC at the start of their 5th season. Mr. Hays will be pursuing his Masters of Fine Arts in Musical Theater which is uniquely aligned with the mission of POKC and will contribute to the success of the organization as a choral theater program for many generations to come. "I am so honored to be a part of such a wonderful TEAM and I'm looking forward to working with and getting to know all the youth, volunteers, staff and board leaders involved.
Chad Smith is originally from Olathe, KS. He received his Bachelors of Fine Arts in Theatre from Emporia State University. After graduating from ESU, Chad received a Hilberry Repertory Theatre Fellowship to attend the MFA program at Wayne State University, where he trained with members of the Shaw Festival and the Royal Shakespeare Company.

Chad has taught acting and an improvisation workshop all over the country, is a member of the Actors' Equity Association, and was on the nominating committee for Actors' Equity Association Central Region Advisory Board.

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

500 E Loula
Olathe, KS 66061
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

All performances take place at:
Olathe Community Theatre Assn
500 E Loula
Olathe, KS 66061
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

Press Release Summer Show
For Immediate Release
Contact: Wendy Thompson
(816) 813-9654, direct
(816) 225-1018, cell
A dark comedy—or, at least a dusty one.
Kansas City, Mo. (June 12, 2013) When a dust storm darkens the westbound train, a murder happens and everyone is groping for their alibis! "Death in the Dustbowl", starring Erik J. Pratt, Philip blue owl Hooser, and Joshua Gleeson, is the next stop on The Mystery Train line! The summer show opens June 28 and runs through August 18. Performances are Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings at 6:30 pm, and alternating Sunday shows at 5:30 pm in area restaurants. If dishing the dirt is your favorite pastime, come stir things up!
Death in the Dustbowl -- Two hobos hop a train in 1935, only to find themselves headed for disaster! Not only does a dust storm loom on the horizon, but a killer is loose on the train. Will the black blizzard cover the tracks of the murderer? Or can the bums solve the crime before they're ridden out on a rail?
Murder mystery dinner theater is presented as a live interactive game, but not everyone is as they appear: one of them may be an accomplice to murder—or even the murderer himself! Check in with the Matron of the Station when you arrive and get in the line-up. Then, get ready for a marvelous meal and some murder-mystery-mayhem!
The "train car" is located within The Golden Ox, downtown KC, Californos Westport, or at The Hereford House Zona Rosa. Cost is $64 on Friday and Saturday, and $54 each on Thursday and Sunday. (No show on July 4th) A cash bar is available. Advance reservations are required and can be made by calling The Central Ticket Office at 816-235-6222, or online at www.kcmysterytrain.com See our website for a complete schedule.

A dark comedy—or, at least a dusty one.
Kansas City, Mo. (June 12, 2013) When a dust storm darkens the westbound train, a murder happens and everyone is groping for their alibis! "Death in the Dustbowl", starring Erik J. Pratt, Philip blue owl Hooser, and Joshua Gleeson, is the next stop on The Mystery Train line! The summer show opens June 28 and runs through August 18. Performances are Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings at 6:30 pm, and alternating Sunday shows at 5:30 pm in area restaurants. If dishing the dirt is your favorite pastime, come stir things up!
Death in the Dustbowl -- Two hobos hop a train in 1935, only to find themselves headed for disaster! Not only does a dust storm loom on the horizon, but a killer is loose on the train. Will the black blizzard cover the tracks of the murderer? Or can the bums solve the crime before they're ridden out on a rail?
Murder mystery dinner theater is presented as a live interactive game, but not everyone is as they appear: one of them may be an accomplice to murder—or even the murderer himself! Check in with the Matron of the Station when you arrive and get in the line-up. Then, get ready for a marvelous meal and some murder-mystery-mayhem!
The "train car" is located within The Golden Ox, downtown KC, Californos Westport, or at The Hereford House Zona Rosa. Cost is $64 on Friday and Saturday, and $54 each on Thursday and Sunday. (No show on July 4th) A cash bar is available.

Call Backs: June 2013. By appointment. We will work with your schedule
Shooting: July 2013 [1-2 days for Jacqui and Young Peter/1 day for Adult Peter]
Synopsis:
"Lucky" is a short film that explores the nuances of an ever-evolving relationship between an adoptive single mother and her adopted son. Specifically this film highlights the newly formed family of two as they relocate for her new job and try to navigate the emotions that come with change.
Character BIOS
[Jacqui] [GENDER: FEMALE] [AGE: Late 30's] [We welcome and encourage all ethnicities]
As a product of a broken home, Jacqui has always wanted a family of her own to reclaim and redefine what "family" can truly mean. As she hit 30, she found herself in the last year of putting herself through nursing school and instead of rejoicing in her great accomplishment, she felt an emotional void — an absence. After a few years of working hard, sailing up through the ranks at work but still not having any luck in relationships, she decided to pursue adoption to help her feel complete.
[YOUNG PETER [GENDER: MALE] [AGE: 7-9] [We welcome and encourage all ethnicities]
The first few years of Peter's life were difficult in that he and his single mom never quite had "enough" but were always full of love and happiness. His mother worked hard to give her son whatever she could to make his life joyous. But when she became terminally ill with no outside family support and little medical intervention, he witnessed the light of his life slowly extinguish and leave him alone before his 5th birthday as a ward of the state.
[ADULT PETER [GENDER: MALE] [AGE: mid to late 20's] [We welcome and encourage all ethnicities]
After years of hard work in school and small parts in various ensembles, Peter, now in his mid to late 20's has landed his first starring role in a Broadway show. As he prepares to step out onto the stage for the opening night performance he acknowledges the hard work and sacrifice of the one who helped him get here.

The Gorilla Theatre Productions will be presenting their 22nd annual Greek show on the South steps of the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, Saturday, June 29 and Sunday, June 30, at 7:30am.
This year's show will be a production of Aristophanes's The Knights (424 BCE). Aristophanes was a Greek comic playwright in 5th c. Athens, and what that means is a crazy plot, vicious swipes at political and social leaders, and lots of sex jokes. In this play, which won first prize at the Lenaea festival, Aristophanes takes on Cleon, who once sued Aristophanes for his play The Babylonians. Aristophanes vowed revenge, and this play was that revenge. Come and watch an ancient political grudge match played out with jokes and general silliness. It's a great way to start the day, and should provide lots of fodder for water cooler discussions come Monday, July 1st.
WARNING: Parental Guidance suggested, this is -- after all -- a Greek Comedy.
The play this year will be directed by James Dean Carter & David Brisco Luby with original live music by Patrick Conway and musicians Mark Southerland and Brad Cox. Choreography of by Kosha Johnson. Neil Swanson-Chrisman is the Costume Designer and Chester White will be the Scenic and Props Designer.
Cast List: the CHORUS of the KNIGHTS: Carol Leighton, Michelle Stelting-Mauler, Marc Abelson, Bernard Norcott-Mahany & Mark Bryant. Joe Whalen as DEMOSTHENES, Frank McCabe as NICIAS, Darrel Bailey as AGORACRITUS the SAUSAGE-SELLER, Ray Ettinger as CLEON, & Michael Patton as DEMOS.
Gorilla Theatre is working its way through all surviving Greek plays without repeating. This will be one of the last plays of the playwright Aristophanes. Here are some of the Summer Greek Shows of Aristophanes's we have done:
LYSISTRATA by Aristophanes 1992
THE POET & THE WOMEN by Aristophanes 1996
THE FROGS by Aristophanes 1998
THE CLOUDS by Aristophanes 2002
THE WASPS by Aristophanes 2006
THE BIRDS by Aristophanes 2009
