The New Century Follies production company and Byrd Productions is thrilled to present two workshops by dynamic theatrical performer Paco Fish!
The New Century Follies production company and Byrd Productions
is thrilled to present two workshops by dynamic theatrical performer Paco Fish!
"Power in Silence"
60 minutes
$20
1 pm
There is power in silence and strength in stillness. In this class, we will explore stillness and movement as contrasting tools for communication through games and exercises in mime. We will focus on clarity of movement, double takes, and comedic beats. Students should wear comfortable clothes in which they can move freely.
"Creating Character and Embodying Emotion"
60 minutes
$20
2:15pm
Using guided visualizations and physical explorations, we will discover many different personalities hidden within our bodies and the physical ways they express themselves. We will learn how to create clear characters and express distinct emotions with our whole bodies. Students should wear comfortable clothes in which they can move freely.
Paco Fish thrives on duality. He is a dynamic performer of spoken and physical comedy, burlesque, boylesque, stilt walking, clown, mime, and a variety of other media. Most of Paco's characters exist in multiple forms and his acts are visual representations of the transitions between these coexisting identities. Whether playing a freshwater turtle in forbidden saltwater love, a tramp with a deal with the devil, or the whole history of modern France, Paco dismantles assumptions and defies convention with humor and passion. He is the founder of Baltimore's Sticky Buns Burlesque and
currently holds the titles, "King of Southern Exposure," "King of Carolina Sweet Tease," and "Most Humorous" from both the Great Burlesque Exposition and The Carolina Burlesque Festival.
"The Burlesque Vanguard Tour" is a year-long international burlesque tour organized by boylesquer,Paco Fish. The 52-week tour will be spent living in a minivan, performing, and teaching burlesque in all 48 contiguous US states, the District of Columbia, and 3 Canadian provinces. Throughout the journey,
Paco will be joining local performers (including The New Century Follies and Byrd Productions on October 12th at Just Off Broadway Theater) for a different live entertainment experience each night, and documenting his adventures at www.burlesquevanguard.com

Romeo & Juliet last weekend
She&Her Productions*
She&Her Productions
Romeo & Juliet by William Shakespeare: Sep 13-22:
8 pm Fri-Sat, Mon; 2 pm Sun
Romeo and Juliet is a tragedy written early in the
career of William Shakespeare about two young
star- crossed lovers whose deaths ultimately
reconcile their feuding families. It was among
Shakespeare's most popular plays during his
lifetime and, along with Hamlet, is one of his
most frequently performed plays. Today, the title
characters are regarded as archetypal young
lovers.
A NOTE FROM THE DIRECTOR:
Shakespeare's timeless tale of love and woe comes
to life again in She&Her's production of Romeo and
Juliet. This classic story of star crossed lovers
is, arguably, the most read and performed of all
of the Bard's works. This is for good reason.
Scholars praise it as the most beautiful of all
the Shakespearian plays. Audiences love it
because it speaks so clearly to our hearts about a
subject that is near and dear to all of us.
The idea that love can persist against all
obstacles, but the reason that it still persists
is because it asks some tough questions. About
love, sex, family bonds, revenge and duty. These
are all human traits that are explored in Romeo
and Juliet and can give all of us cause to think
and perhaps apply its lessons to our own lives.
Directed by Jeremy Riggs.
$12-$15. Just Off Broadway Theatre, 3051 Central
Street, (816) 405-9200,

Jekyll & Hyde
Conceived for the Stage by Steve Cuden and Frank
Wildhorn
Book and Lyrics by Leslie Bricusse
Music by Frank Wildhorn
Based on the story by Robert Louis Stevenson
An evocative tale of the epic battle between good
and evil, JEKYLL & HYDE is based on Robert Louis
Stevenson's classic story about a brilliant doctor
whose experiments with human personality create a
murderous counterpart. Convinced the cure for his
father's mental illness lies in the separation of
Man's evil nature from his good, Jekyll
unwittingly unleashes his own dark side, wreaking
havoc in the streets of London as the savage,
maniacal Edward Hyde.
The show offers great flexibility for cast size
and use of ensemble and its powerful rock score
will require strong, versatile singers.
We will be casting over 20 individuals.

We are updating the show. Setting it in present
day London.

SYNOPSIS:
SHREK THE MUSICAL, based on the Oscar® winning DreamWorks film that started it all, 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. Luckily, there's one on hand...and his name is Shrek. Full of all-new songs, great dancing and breathtaking scenery, SHREK THE MUSICAL is part romance, part twisted fairy tale and all irreverent fun for everyone!
CASTING INFORMATION:
Shrek
Voice Type: Tenor
An erasable ogre who lives in self-imposed exile in a swamp, but yearns (beneath the surface) for friendship and acceptance. He is outwardly bitter and sarcastic, but his true nature is loving and loyal.
Princess Fiona
Voice Type: Lyric Soprano
Severely (emotionally) damaged by her exile to a tower for 23+ years of her life, Fiona believes that she will be saved by a storybook prince. She is simultaneously feisty, rude and vulnerable in her loneliness, but she is also blindly optimistic. The mental strain of captivity is beginning to show.
Teen Fiona
Voice Type: Mezzo Soprano
A lonely, dreamy tween – a bit more cynical than her younger version, who waits in a tower for her prince. She is getting tired of the wait, but is convinced he will appear to save her.
Young Fiona
Voice Type: Soprano
She is energetic, courageous, hopeful, slightly scared, but she clings to the belief that the prince from her storybook will rescue her.
Donkey
Voice Type: Baritone
Sassy and confident, he yearns to belong somewhere. Feels he can be the best companion EVER to anyone who might accept him. He is energetic and overenthusiastic to the point of irritation.
Lord Farquaad
The dwarfish dictator of tiny storybook DuLoc, Farquaad harbors deep resentment for his father who abandoned him. Behind his princely charm, he is pompous, self-centered and cruel. He has a smooth and charming speaking voice and tends to shriek when he is angry.
Dragon
A lonely and soulful female chained within Fiona's tower. She falls head-over-heels for Donkey.
Pinocchio
He is the sassy wooden puppet who yearns to become a real boy. Pinocchio badly wants to fit in but needs to learn to accept his "wooden-ness" first.

SYNOPSIS:
SHREK THE MUSICAL, based on the Oscar® winning DreamWorks film that started it all, 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. Luckily, there's one on hand...and his name is Shrek. Full of all-new songs, great dancing and breathtaking scenery, SHREK THE MUSICAL is part romance, part twisted fairy tale and all irreverent fun for everyone!
CASTING INFORMATION:
Shrek
Voice Type: Tenor
An erasable ogre who lives in self-imposed exile in a swamp, but yearns (beneath the surface) for friendship and acceptance. He is outwardly bitter and sarcastic, but his true nature is loving and loyal.
Princess Fiona
Voice Type: Lyric Soprano
Severely (emotionally) damaged by her exile to a tower for 23+ years of her life, Fiona believes that she will be saved by a storybook prince. She is simultaneously feisty, rude and vulnerable in her loneliness, but she is also blindly optimistic. The mental strain of captivity is beginning to show.
Teen Fiona

Donkey
Voice Type: Baritone
Sassy and confident, he yearns to belong somewhere. Feels he can be the best companion EVER to anyone who might accept him. He is energetic and overenthusiastic to the point of irritation.
Lord Farquaad
The dwarfish dictator of tiny storybook DuLoc, Farquaad harbors deep resentment for his father who abandoned him. Behind his princely charm, he is pompous, self-centered and cruel. He has a smooth and charming speaking voice and tends to shriek when he is angry.
Dragon
A lonely and soulful female chained within Fiona's tower. She falls head-over-heels for Donkey.
Pinocchio

Last Night - Open Audition Call - All My Sons
River City Community Players announce an Open Audition Call for All My Sons by Arthur Miller.
Directed by Denny Dey.
Be prepared to conduct cold readings from the script.
Auditions will be held at the Riverfront Community Center, 123 S. Esplanade, Leavenworth, KS, Sep 17 from 7 - 9 p.m.
A tremendously impressive drama that received the New York Drama Critics Circle Award for Best Play.
During the war Joe Keller and Herbert Deever ran a machine shop which made airplane parts. Deever was sent to prison because the firm turned out defective parts, causing the deaths of many men. Keller went free and made a lot of money.
The twin shadows of this catastrophe and the fact that the young Keller son was reported missing during the war dominate the action.
The love affair of Chris Keller and Ann Deever, the bitterness of George Deever returned from the war to find his father in prison and his father's partner free, are all set in a structure of almost unbearable power.
The climax showing the reaction of a son to his guilty father is fitting conclusion to a play electrifying in its intensity.
The characters being sought are:
Joe Keller is the uneducated common man-determined-amazed by the world around him-watchful-strong-capable of immense rationalization-easily shaken by reality. Mid 50's to mid 60's
Kate Keller is submerged in the disappearance of her son-her mind is locked inside chains of hope and rationalization-she sees everyone around her much the way a master sees chess pieces on a board-to be moved into a position where her concept of reality may come true. Mid 50's to mid 60's
Chris Keller is strong-brave-idealistic-loving-nurturing-more aware of the reality of a changing world than his father-hopeful-spirited. Late 20's to early 30's
Ann Deever can hold her own with anyone-torn between her desire to re-create her own future and the need to deal with her past-heavily convicted about her father's wrong doing-devoted to Chris and supportive of George. Mid 20's
George is depressed-angry-volatile-but responds to kindness and slivers of hope. He seeks justice and wishes that his sister saw the world as does he. Late 20's to early 30's
Jim Bayliss is another example of the common man-professional-exact-caring-observational-connecting to others-but unable to connect to his own desires and personal designs. Late 30's to mid 40's
Sue Bayliss controls with skill-manages her husband-accepts her place in the social strata with a bitter taste well camouflaged-money protects her from falling further down the social ladder. Late 30's to mid 40's
Frank Lubey is harmless-yet another formation of the common man-his backyard is his kingdom-nice guy-interested is "stuff" but not overly capable of anything but interest. Early 30's
Lydia Lubey lives in the moment-for her kids-her husband-her friends-doing someone's hair is a real treat for her-she genuinely enjoys the "live" in the neighborhood. Late 20's
Bert is the "boy" in all of us-eager-inquisitive-always in motion-always thinking. Under 12
Show performances will be Oct 25 and 26 at 8 p.m. Nov 1, 2, 8 and 9 at 8 p.m. and Nov 3 at 2 p.m.

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

"The clashing sounds and pulsing rhythms of New

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

Romeo & Juliet Opens FRIDAY
She&Her Productions*
She&Her Productions
Romeo & Juliet by William Shakespeare: Sep 13-22:
8 pm Fri-Sat, Mon; 2 pm Sun
Romeo and Juliet is a tragedy written early in the
career of William Shakespeare about two young
star- crossed lovers whose deaths ultimately
reconcile their feuding families. It was among
Shakespeare's most popular plays during his
lifetime and, along with Hamlet, is one of his
most frequently performed plays. Today, the title
characters are regarded as archetypal young
lovers.
A NOTE FROM THE DIRECTOR:
Shakespeare's timeless tale of love and woe comes
to life again in She&Her's production of Romeo and
Juliet. This classic story of star crossed lovers
is, arguably, the most read and performed of all
of the Bard's works. This is for good reason.
Scholars praise it as the most beautiful of all
the Shakespearian plays. Audiences love it
because it speaks so clearly to our hearts about a
subject that is near and dear to all of us.
The idea that love can persist against all
obstacles, but the reason that it still persists
is because it asks some tough questions. About
love, sex, family bonds, revenge and duty. These
are all human traits that are explored in Romeo
and Juliet and can give all of us cause to think
and perhaps apply its lessons to our own lives.
Directed by Jeremy Riggs.
$12-$15. Just Off Broadway Theatre, 3051 Central
Street, (816) 405-9200,
www.sheandherproductions.com (Suitable for
Everyone)

Updated - Open Audition Call - All My Sons
River City Community Players announce an Open Audition Call for All My Sons by Arthur Miller.
Directed by Denny Dey.
Be prepared to conduct cold readings from the script.
Auditions will be held at the Riverfront Community Center, 123 S. Esplanade, Leavenworth, KS, Sep 14 from noon to 2 p.m. and Sept 16 and 17 from 7 - 9 p.m.
A tremendously impressive drama that received the New York Drama Critics Circle Award for Best Play.
During the war Joe Keller and Herbert Deever ran a machine shop which made airplane parts. Deever was sent to prison because the firm turned out defective parts, causing the deaths of many men. Keller went free and made a lot of money.
The twin shadows of this catastrophe and the fact that the young Keller son was reported missing during the war dominate the action.
The love affair of Chris Keller and Ann Deever, the bitterness of George Deever returned from the war to find his father in prison and his father's partner free, are all set in a structure of almost unbearable power.
The climax showing the reaction of a son to his guilty father is fitting conclusion to a play electrifying in its intensity.
The characters being sought are:
Joe Keller is the uneducated common man-determined-amazed by the world around him-watchful-strong-capable of immense rationalization-easily shaken by reality. Mid 50's to mid 60's
Kate Keller is submerged in the disappearance of her son-her mind is locked inside chains of hope and rationalization-she sees everyone around her much the way a master sees chess pieces on a board-to be moved into a position where her concept of reality may come true. Mid 50's to mid 60's
Chris Keller is strong-brave-idealistic-loving-nurturing-more aware of the reality of a changing world than his father-hopeful-spirited. Late 20's to early 30's
Ann Deever can hold her own with anyone-torn between her desire to re-create her own future and the need to deal with her past-heavily convicted about her father's wrong doing-devoted to Chris and supportive of George. Mid 20's
George is depressed-angry-volatile-but responds to kindness and slivers of hope. He seeks justice and wishes that his sister saw the world as does he. Late 20's to early 30's
Jim Bayliss is another example of the common man-professional-exact-caring-observational-connecting to others-but unable to connect to his own desires and personal designs. Late 30's to mid 40's
Sue Bayliss controls with skill-manages her husband-accepts her place in the social strata with a bitter taste well camouflaged-money protects her from falling further down the social ladder. Late 30's to mid 40's
Frank Lubey is harmless-yet another formation of the common man-his backyard is his kingdom-nice guy-interested is "stuff" but not overly capable of anything but interest. Early 30's
Lydia Lubey lives in the moment-for her kids-her husband-her friends-doing someone's hair is a real treat for her-she genuinely enjoys the "live" in the neighborhood. Late 20's
Bert is the "boy" in all of us-eager-inquisitive-always in motion-always thinking. Under 12
Show performances will be Oct 25 and 26 at 8 p.m. Nov 1, 2, 8 and 9 at 8 p.m. and Nov 3 at 2 p.m.
