Alcott Arts Center*
Alcott's Shakespeare in the Parking Lot VII "Merchant of Venice" by William Shakespeare: Sept 14,15, 21& 22: 3 pm Sat-Sun
"The Merchant of Venice" is the story of money lending, religious faith, and husband finding. In Venice we meet Shylock, a Jewish merchant and father, and Antonio, a Christian merchant, who have money-lending issues, which result in the call for a literal 'pound of flesh' as repayment. In the neighboring city of Belmont we meet Portia, a wealthy unmarried lady whose marriage prospects are dictated by her dead father's wishes. Directed by Anna Jennings. Featuring Jeff Shehan, Aaron Gotzon, Frank Presler, London Smith, Khalid Johnson, Liz Swick, Timothy Willett, Erik Johnsen, Kelsey Matthias, Heather Hare, Jen Morris, Sean Hill, and Ronald Davis. Rain (inside) or Shine (outside).

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

AUDITIONS on Saturday afternoon at St. Pius School.
AUDITIONS!
An Evening with Jack Kennedy
A Re-enactment of Sen. John F. Kennedy's appearance at Shawnee Mission East High School on October 22, 1960
JFK directed by Eric Magnus
Event produced & directed by Charles Schollenberger
Musical Direction by Jonathan Lane & Ken Foley
AUDITIONS:
Sat. Aug. 31, 2013
from 1:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m.
At St. Pius Church
55th and Woodson, Mission, KS
EXPECTATION and PREPARATION:
Auditions will be an open call, and will consist of recitation from a 13-minute speech given by Sen. John F. Kennedy at a banquet held at Shawnee Mission East High School on October 22, 1960.
Please Provide: Headshot/Resume (if available).
Invited Callbacks may be a part of the audition process and will be held at a later date.
Rehearsal sessions will be held sometime in late October and early November. The rehearsal schedule will consist of 4 – 5 rehearsals sessions, will be held on the weekends and will include a final dress rehearsal of the entire evening in November at Shawnee Mission East High School.
Given the limited rehearsal schedule, attendance is required at each. The first 3 or 4 rehearsals can be worked out between the director and the actor, as these rehearsals are one-on-one sessions.
PERFORMANCE
ONE NIGHT ONLY
Saturday, Nov. 16, 2013
at 6 p.m. through 7:30 p.m.
The performance takes place at…
The Shawnee Mission East High School Auditorium
7500 Mission Road in Prairie Village, KS
SYNOPSIS:
This original production has been two years in the making and commemorates a significant event in Prairie Village history as well as the 50th anniversary of the JFK presidency. It will be the only known such salute to this martyred president in Missouri and Kansas at a time when the news media will be remembering the 50th anniversary of his tragic death. While primarily a local and county event, people from across the state have been invited to attend.
CAST BREAKDOWN:
Senator John F. Kennedy
The only cast role will be Sen. John F. Kennedy. We are looking for someone to play him with grace and dignity. JFK was known for his good looks, long-ish hair (for the time), for his wit and humor, and for his charisma. Some participants from the original 1960 SME event, who will participate in a panel discussion after the event, said there was a high level of anticipation among the crowd prior to his arrival. The night before JFK had appeared before millions of Americans on television in the last of the first modern presidential debates.
JFK's entry at SME was said to have "electrified" the crowd. Part movie star, part politician, and now legend, JFK has continued to fascinate Americans and the world in the 50 years since his death. Like the actor James Dean, he remains immortal – eternally 46-years-old – in the memories of those who knew and loved him. This event is intended to give the audience a little glimpse of the famous man who appeared here so many years ago and has now become a legend.
Who was this intensely personal, yet out-going man, a president who was perhaps as close to being an intellectual as any president since Thomas Jefferson? That is the fascinating enigma of JFK, who historians are still trying to understand. Some say that no one really knew the real JFK: that he played many roles to many people and revealed himself totally to no one.
The actor playing this role should exude Kennedy's confidence, fondness for crowds and for people, and should be willing to greet members of the audience and to sign autographs at the end of the program, as the campaigning politician JFK himself did in 1960. He will be invited to mingle with the cast and special guests in a private cast party to follow off-site.
For more information, please contact Eric Magnus, Artistic Director of
The Barn Players, at emagnitude@me.com

Kansas City, Mo. (August 27, 2013) … like a bull out of the shoot! The Mystery Train's fall show, "Murder at the Royal" will take you back to the swinging seventies and the American Royal of way back then. Opening September 6th at The Golden Ox, and starring (l to r) Sabrina Henderson, Emali Kimker, and Claudia Copping as the Usual Suspects, the production runs through October 26, with shows on Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings. Get ready to keep on truckin'.
Murder at the Royal -- It's 1976, and the competition is fierce at The American Royal. Whether it's the livestock show, the rodeo, the parade or just some good barbecue—there's a lot going on in Kansas City … which may be the perfect cover for a murder!
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 Conductor at 6:30 pm 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, or at Californos Westport. Cost is $64 on Friday and Saturday, and $54 each on Thursday. 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.
The Mystery Train offers group rates and is also available for private parties.

AUDITIONS on Saturday afternoon at St. Pius School.
AUDITIONS!
An Evening with Jack Kennedy
A Re-enactment of Sen. John F. Kennedy's appearance at Shawnee Mission East High School on October 22, 1960
JFK directed by Eric Magnus
Event produced & directed by Charles Schollenberger
Musical Direction by Jonathan Lane & Ken Foley
AUDITIONS:
Sat. Aug. 31, 2013
from 1:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m.
At St. Pius Church
55th and Woodson, Mission, KS
EXPECTATION and PREPARATION:
Auditions will be an open call, and will consist of recitation from a 13-minute speech given by Sen. John F. Kennedy at a banquet held at Shawnee Mission East High School on October 22, 1960.
Please Provide: Headshot/Resume (if available).
Invited Callbacks may be a part of the audition process and will be held at a later date.
Rehearsal sessions will be held sometime in late October and early November. The rehearsal schedule will consist of 4 – 5 rehearsals sessions, will be held on the weekends and will include a final dress rehearsal of the entire evening in November at Shawnee Mission East High School.
Given the limited rehearsal schedule, attendance is required at each. The first 3 or 4 rehearsals can be worked out between the director and the actor, as these rehearsals are one-on-one sessions.
PERFORMANCE
ONE NIGHT ONLY
Saturday, Nov. 16, 2013
at 6 p.m. through 7:30 p.m.
The performance takes place at…
The Shawnee Mission East High School Auditorium
7500 Mission Road in Prairie Village, KS
SYNOPSIS:
This original production has been two years in the making and commemorates a significant event in Prairie Village history as well as the 50th anniversary of the JFK presidency. It will be the only known such salute to this martyred president in Missouri and Kansas at a time when the news media will be remembering the 50th anniversary of his tragic death. While primarily a local and county event, people from across the state have been invited to attend.
CAST BREAKDOWN:
Senator John F. Kennedy
The only cast role will be Sen. John F. Kennedy. We are looking for someone to play him with grace and dignity. JFK was known for his good looks, long-ish hair (for the time), for his wit and humor, and for his charisma. Some participants from the original 1960 SME event, who will participate in a panel discussion after the event, said there was a high level of anticipation among the crowd prior to his arrival. The night before JFK had appeared before millions of Americans on television in the last of the first modern presidential debates.
JFK's entry at SME was said to have "electrified" the crowd. Part movie star, part politician, and now legend, JFK has continued to fascinate Americans and the world in the 50 years since his death. Like the actor James Dean, he remains immortal – eternally 46-years-old – in the memories of those who knew and loved him. This event is intended to give the audience a little glimpse of the famous man who appeared here so many years ago and has now become a legend.
Who was this intensely personal, yet out-going man, a president who was perhaps as close to being an intellectual as any president since Thomas Jefferson? That is the fascinating enigma of JFK, who historians are still trying to understand. Some say that no one really knew the real JFK: that he played many roles to many people and revealed himself totally to no one.
The actor playing this role should exude Kennedy's confidence, fondness for crowds and for people, and should be willing to greet members of the audience and to sign autographs at the end of the program, as the campaigning politician JFK himself did in 1960. He will be invited to mingle with the cast and special guests in a private cast party to follow off-site.
For more information, please contact Eric Magnus, Artistic Director of
The Barn Players, at emagnitude@me.com

JFK's entry at SME was said to have "electrified" the crowd. Part movie star, part politician, and now legend, JFK has continued to fascinate Americans and the world in the 50 years since his death. Like the actor James Dean, he remains immortal – eternally 46-years-old – in the memories of those who knew and loved him. This event is intended to give the audience a little glimpse of the famous man who appeared here so many years ago and has now become a legend.
Who was this intensely personal, yet out-going man, a president who was perhaps as close to being an intellectual as any president since Thomas Jefferson? That is the fascinating enigma of JFK, who historians are still trying to understand. Some say that no one really knew the real JFK: that he played many roles to many people and revealed himself totally to no one.
The actor playing this role should exude Kennedy's confidence, fondness for crowds and for people, and should be willing to greet members of the audience and to sign autographs at the end of the program, as the campaigning politician JFK himself did in 1960. He will be invited to mingle with the cast and special guests in a private cast party to follow off-site.

Emporia State University Theatre presents its 100th Theatre Season of Plays
Emporia State University Theatre presents
its 100th Theatre Season of Plays
Since our first production of Nathan Hale in 1913 under the
direction of Caroline Medders with settings designed by Franklin
Gilson, ESU Theatre has been a vital element of the cultural life
of Emporia and the region. In the year in which we celebrate the
150th birthday of the university, we look forward to our next
season of plays:
October 10-13 All Shook Up! (Our 41st Homecoming
Musical) by Joe DiPietro
November 19-24 reasons to be pretty (comic-drama) by Neil
LaBute
March 5-8 Boeing Boeing (Farce) by Camoletti, Cross
and Evans
April 16-19, 23-26 Uncle Vanya (tragicomedy) by Anton
Chekhov
May 2 Our Spring Dance Show by Lindy Bartruff
The 2013 season begins with Joe DiPietro's All Shook Up! A
musical comedy by the writer of Memphis and I Love You, You're
Perfect, Now Change, All Shook Up! is built around hit songs
made famous by Elvis Presley. Set in 1955, a dreamer and a
mysterious guitarist form an unlikely pair that inspires a small
town to open its eyes to the magic of romance and the power of
rock & roll. Borrowing some familiar plot devices from
Shakespeare, the score highlights classics like "Heartbreak
Hotel," "Love Me Tender," "Don't Be Cruel," "Can't Help Falling in
Love," and the title song.
ESU has ties to the Broadway production of All Shook Up! It was
stage managed on Broadway by ESU Alumna Lois Griffing who
also stage managed Hairspray and (currently) Kinky Boots. This
spicy musical, with music adapted by Tony-winning Stephen
Oremus will have you dancing out of your seat. Jim Bartruff
directs it, with choreography by Lindy Bartruff and musical
direction by Penny Speedie.
Our winter production has been entered as a participating entry
into the Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival. Neil
LaBute's reasons to be pretty is a love story about the
impossibility of love. The play is under the direction of senior
Mike Koetkemeyer (Salina). LaBute introduces us to a couple,
Greg and Steph, a flawed but likable twenty-something couple.
When Greg is asked to comment on Steph's "looks," chaos
ensues. A romantic and adult play, reasons to be pretty explores
the hopelessness of romance in the 21st century. It earned its
author and original cast numerous awards including a Tony
Award nomination for Best Play in 2008. A sequel to the play,
Reasons to Be Happy, enjoyed a celebrated off-Broadway run last
spring starring Jenna Fisher (The Office).
The third production, Boeing Boeing, is a French farce adapted
for the English-speaking stage. It was also a movie vehicle for
Jerry Lewis and Tony Curtis in 1965. Revived on Broadway in
2008 in a Tony-winning production, the farce features Bernard
who is engaged to marry three different women, one French, one
German, and one American. Each fiancée is an airline hostess
with frequent layovers. Bernard keeps "one up, one down and
one pending" until unfavorable layovers bring them all to his
apartment at the same time. Theresa Mitchell will direct.
Uncle Vanya, Chekhov's classic tragicomedy will be the final
production of the season. In Uncle Vanya, a retired professor and
his beautiful young wife, Elena have return to the professor's
country estate. Uncle Vanya discovers his hopeless and
unrequited feelings for the professor's wife. Meanwhile, the
professor's daughter, Sonya, yearns for the doctor, Astrov, who
only has eyes for Elena. If things don't seem complicated
enough, the professor has an announcement that could change
the lives of the entire household. A timeless observation of
human behavior and relationships, Uncle Vanya remains relevant
to audiences of our time. Our production will be under the
direction of Dr. Jim Ryan.
On May 2, we present our fourth annual spring dance show
under the direction of Choreographer Lindy Bartruff. Further
details will be made available at a later date.

AUDITIONS
AUDITIONS!
An Evening with Jack Kennedy
A Re-enactment of Sen. John F. Kennedy's appearance at Shawnee Mission East High School on October 22, 1960
JFK directed by Eric Magnus
Event produced & directed by Charles Schollenberger
Musical Direction by Jonathan Lane & Ken Foley
AUDITIONS:
Sat. Aug. 31, 2013
from 1:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m.
At St. Pius Church
55th and Woodson, Mission, KS
EXPECTATION and PREPARATION:
Auditions will be an open call, and will consist of recitation from a 13-minute speech given by Sen. John F. Kennedy at a banquet held at Shawnee Mission East High School on October 22, 1960.
Please Provide: Headshot/Resume (if available).
Invited Callbacks may be a part of the audition process and will be held at a later date.
Rehearsal sessions will be held sometime in late October and early November. The rehearsal schedule will consist of 4 – 5 rehearsals sessions, will be held on the weekends and will include a final dress rehearsal of the entire evening in November at Shawnee Mission East High School.
Given the limited rehearsal schedule, attendance is required at each. The first 3 or 4 rehearsals can be worked out between the director and the actor, as these rehearsals are one-on-one sessions.
PERFORMANCE
ONE NIGHT ONLY
Saturday, Nov. 16, 2013
at 6 p.m. through 7:30 p.m.
The performance takes place at…
The Shawnee Mission East High School Auditorium
7500 Mission Road in Prairie Village, KS
SYNOPSIS:
This original production has been two years in the making and commemorates a significant event in Prairie Village history as well as the 50th anniversary of the JFK presidency. It will be the only known such salute to this martyred president in Missouri and Kansas at a time when the news media will be remembering the 50th anniversary of his tragic death. While primarily a local and county event, people from across the state have been invited to attend.
CAST BREAKDOWN:
Senator John F. Kennedy
The only cast role will be Sen. John F. Kennedy. We are looking for someone to play him with grace and dignity. JFK was known for his good looks, long-ish hair (for the time), for his wit and humor, and for his charisma. Some participants from the original 1960 SME event, who will participate in a panel discussion after the event, said there was a high level of anticipation among the crowd prior to his arrival. The night before JFK had appeared before millions of Americans on television in the last of the first modern presidential debates.
JFK's entry at SME was said to have "electrified" the crowd. Part movie star, part politician, and now legend, JFK has continued to fascinate Americans and the world in the 50 years since his death. Like the actor James Dean, he remains immortal – eternally 46-years-old – in the memories of those who knew and loved him. This event is intended to give the audience a little glimpse of the famous man who appeared here so many years ago and has now become a legend.
Who was this intensely personal, yet out-going man, a president who was perhaps as close to being an intellectual as any president since Thomas Jefferson? That is the fascinating enigma of JFK, who historians are still trying to understand. Some say that no one really knew the real JFK: that he played many roles to many people and revealed himself totally to no one.
The actor playing this role should exude Kennedy's confidence, fondness for crowds and for people, and should be willing to greet members of the audience and to sign autographs at the end of the program, as the campaigning politician JFK himself did in 1960. He will be invited to mingle with the cast and special guests in a private cast party to follow off-site.

The Barn Players, at emagnitude@me.com

Miss Saigon at Starlight
A CLASSIC LOVE STORY IS BROUGHT UP-TO-DATE IN MISS
SAIGON AT STARLIGHT, SEPTEMBER 7-13.
A team of international artists have been
assembled to produce one of the most stunning
theatrical spectacles of all time
Miss Saigon, one of the most stunning theatrical
spectacles of all time, will be produced by
Starlight Theatre, September 7-13. In Miss
Saigon, Puccini's Madame Butterfly is brought to
the modern world. This powerful pop opera is an
emotional tale about forbidden love, the tragedies
of war and the sacrifices made to achieve the
American Dream.
Miss Saigon is a love story about the relationship
between an American GI and a young Vietnamese
woman during the American occupation of Saigon
during the Vietnam War. The Tony Award-winning
musical was created by Claude Michel Schonberg and
Alain Boublil, the visionaries behind Les
Miserables, and features a series of sensational
musical numbers including, "Why God Why?" and "The
American Dream." It remains the 11th longest-
running Broadway musical in musical theatre
history.

production will travel to the Bushnell Theatre in
