Olathe Civic Theatre Assn (OCTA) Call for Director Submissions
Directors wanted. Passion required!
The board of directors of the Olathe Civic Theater Association (OCTA) is looking for directors to bring to life an exciting 2014-2015 season. We're inviting you to submit a slate of no more than three scripts you'd like to direct at OCTA (any additional scripts beyond the first three listed will not be considered).
Send them to us at octa.directors@olathetheare.org, accompanied by your theatrical resume, by December 20, 2013. Additionally, please indicate the months of the year, from late Fall 2014 to late Spring 2015, that you are available.
This year OCTA is selecting its season based on submissions from directors and selections from the OCTA Season Selection Committee. We encourage all directors to submit shows that you have a passion for. An important consideration to keep in mind when you submit shows to OCTA is that our season is typically five shows, only one of which may be a musical. The rest of the season is usually a mix of comedies and dramas. For the best chance of having one of your scripts selected, please include a variety of genres in your submission. If, however, there's one show that's your dream show, please submit it. We'll review it and see if we can fit it into our season. At OCTA, we respect and encourage your passion for the material.
Also take into consideration that OCTA productions have certainly stretched and put our wonderfully intimate theatre facility to the test, but the OCTA stage and theater are geared toward smaller shows - although many of our past productions have used imaginative staging within the space. Our stage dimensions are included with this letter to use as a guideline as you consider your submissions. You can also request a list of past shows to give you a sense what we've done before. Don't be afraid to submit a show that you see on the list! We're open to reviving a production from our history.
At OCTA we own our building. You have access to the performance space for rehearsals from day one, so you won't have to lug props or costumes from one location to another. Also, we don't interfere with your artistic decisions: Show us you can do it and we'll help make it possible!
If one of your submissions is considered for our season, we'll contact you to set up an interview. OCTA is a great place to bring your theatrical artistry alive, and we hope you'll consider partnering with us to produce a great piece of theater. We look forward to seeing your submissions no later than December 20, 2013.
Sincerely,
Ellie DeShon
Chair, OCTA Season Selection Committee

New music, singers & stories.
Tickets benefit TOYS FOR TOTS.
Musical Theater Heritage is presenting 15 performances of "A SPECTACULAR CHRISTMAS",
its 6th annual holiday concert featuring spectacular vocal arrangements and Christmas stories designed to bring out the
holiday spirit in everyone.
"Richard Alan Nichols and Marilyn Lynch, long-time Kansas City actors have been added to serve as storytellers". As Artistic
Director, Sarah Crawford explains, "The stories of Christmas are a profound and powerful part of the holiday season. By
adding Richard & Marilyn to the cast we wanted those stories to be as powerful as the music."
Stories combined with music, is how the MTH annual holiday show excels each year. This year the program features local
favorites Lauren Braton, Justin McCoy, Stefanie Wienecke, and Bryan LaFave. Jeremy Watson - one of the top pianists in the
region - will be at the piano. Jeremy has played for every major theater company in town including a recent national tour of
Miss Saigon.
Of course – what's a Christmas show without kids? MTH welcomes back Brendan Hulla (13), Willa Walberg (11), and Jordan Haas
(10). New this year is 17 year old Maggie Marx, a Shawnee Mission West student, impressing KC audiences with her powerful
vocals.
And MTH is proud to announce a ticket deal to benefit TOYS FOR TOTS. MTH has donated 100 tickets for needy families and
Toys For Tots volunteers. Theater patrons can receive one free ticket if they donate a toy to TOYS FOR TOTS. Donated toys
should be new, in original packaging and valued at $10 or more. Toys may be brought to the Off Center Theatre lobby on 3rd

No Sleep November: 5 Plays in 24 Hours
Play On... Productions and GVB Theatricals*
No Sleep November: Nov 17-18: 7 pm Sun-Mon
WE'RE GIVING FIVE KANSAS CITY PLAYWRIGHTS A DAY TO
REMEMBER AND YOU'RE INVITED!!!
Join us November 17th and 18th as Forrest
Attaway, Pete Bakely, Brian Huther, Natalie
Liccardello and Bryan Moses lose sleep and
possibly their minds in this caffeine-fueled orgy
of dramaturgical debauchery!
We're giving five of the best playwrights Kansas
City has to offer a chance to strut their stuff...
but we're only giving them 24 hours to do it. As
if that weren't enough, we're throwing all sorts
of curve-balls their way with surprise props,
dialogue an NFL-style draft pick for actors. Join
us at the Living Room and see who survives!
Tickets are $10 for the kick-off banquet and draft
event (sure to be a real screamer) and "Pay What
You Can" for the next night's premier of five new
15-minute original works. Packages are available
for tickets for both nights.

No Sleep November: Nov 17-18: 7 pm Sun-Mon
WE'RE GIVING FIVE KANSAS CITY PLAYWRIGHTS A DAY TO
REMEMBER AND YOU'RE INVITED!!!
Join us November 17th and 18th as Forrest
Attaway, Pete Bakely, Brian Huther, Natalie
Liccardello and Bryan Moses lose sleep and
possibly their minds in this caffeine-fueled orgy
of dramaturgical debauchery!
We're giving five of the best playwrights Kansas
City has to offer a chance to strut their stuff...
but we're only giving them 24 hours to do it. As
if that weren't enough, we're throwing all sorts
of curve-balls their way with surprise props,
dialogue an NFL-style draft pick for actors. Join
us at the Living Room and see who survives!
Tickets are $10 for the kick-off banquet and draft
event (sure to be a real screamer) and "Pay What
You Can" for the next night's premier of five new
15-minute original works. Packages are available
for tickets for both nights.
Kick-Off Banquet: Sunday, November 17 Doors open

Heavenese - Japanese Tsunami relief concert
Acclaimed by Legendary Quincy Jones, R.H. Barnum, and other renowned musicians, "HEAVENESE" returns to U.S. for the third time!
2013 HEAVENESE USA TOUR
November 5~25, 2013
Sponsored by The Japan Foundation & Iwate Prefecture City of Rikuzen-Takata
HEAVENESE is a Japanese music performance company who has come to the US to do a concert for the ongoing awareness and relief
effort for the victims of the tsunami in Japan. Their highly entertaining show features original music, dancers, Taiko drums,
and Samurai performers. It's an amazing experience for all ages.
HEAVENESE was founded by Marré and Kumiko, but was prompted to start its activities by the King of Gospel, a 9-time Grammy
Winner, Andraé Crouch. In October 2012, their first EP was released world wide on Sheila E's Stilettoflats Music that fuses
Japanese soul music and Black music into a new art form previously not existing.
From the nation often referred to as "The Rising Sun," there has risen a brand new genre of music with a promise to shine
throughout the nations. This alliance, comprised of 14 members with diverse careers and backgrounds, has been brought together
through an unchanging spirit. It proclaims timeless truth, an aroma to the soul.
Actively involved in restoration of Iwate Prefecture Rikuzen-Takata City from 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake since 2011.
Charity concert tours to US in 2011 & 2012 benefitting victims of the earthquake and tsunami were well received and successful.

All My Sons - Final Weekend
River City Community Players announces the final weekend for All My Sons by Arthur Miller.
Place your reservation now before the good seats are taken.
One person in attendance over the weekend commented, "Thank you for the pwerful production of All My Sons - so topical, even now!
"Sometimes being moved to tears . . . walking into the performance; left with a changed heart walking out."
During World War II Joe Keller and Herbert Deever ran a machine shop that 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 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.
Directed by Denny Dey.
Featuring Richard S. Bayse, Linda Finch, Tracy Conrad, Kevin H Albee, Derrick Freeman, Jill Seib-Schaub, Nino Casisi, Justin Spear, and Shannon Walsh.
Performance dates are Nov. 8 & 9 at 8 p.m.
