OVER THE RIVER AND THROUGH THE WOODS opens tonight at OCTA!
Olathe Civic Theatre Assn presents...
OVER THE RIVER AND THROUGH THE WOODS
by Joe DiPietro
directed by Tiffany Garrison-Schweigert
A hilarious family comedy that is even funnier
than his long-running musical revue I Love You,
You're Perfect, Now Change. —BackStage. "Loaded
with laughs every step of the way." —Star-
Ledger.
THE STORY: "Nick is a single, Italian-American
guy from New Jersey. His parents retired and
moved to Florida. That doesn't mean his family
isn't still in Jersey. In fact, he sees both
sets of his grandparents every Sunday for
dinner. This is routine until he has to tell
them that he's been offered a dream job. The
job he's been waiting for—marketing executive—
would take him away from his beloved, but
annoying, grandparents. He tells them. The news
doesn't sit so well. Thus begins a series of
schemes to keep Nick around. How could he
betray his family's love to move to Seattle,
for a job, wonder his grandparents? Well,
Frank, Aida, Nunzio and Emma do their level
best, and that includes bringing to dinner the
lovely—and single—Caitlin O'Hare as bait…we
won't give the ending away here." - DPS

Call for Directors - OCTA - Deadline Sept 15
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 2015-
2016 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@olathetheatre.org, accompanied
by your theatrical resume, by September 15,
2014. Additionally, please indicate the months
of the year, from late Fall 2015 to late Spring
2016, 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, one or two 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 available upon request 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 September 15,
2014.
We will review the submissions and let
candidates know if we would like to set up and
interview in the weeks following mid-September.
We aim to have our season selected by December.
Sincerely,
Ellie DeShon
Chair, OCTA Season Selection Committee

Shakespeare's lighthearted tale of romantic love intertwines a

A feud among fairies haunting the woods nearby our mythical
Athens propels the mischievous fairy Puck across the paths of 4
young lovers and the would-be actors, authoring much merry
confusion eventually put right in 3 weddings blessed by magic,
and a "play" to end all plays. Lord, what fools these mortals be!

MTH to bring back Jacques Brel!
MUSICAL THEATER HERITAGE PRESENTS...
Jacques Brel; The Life & Music of a Legend
Off Center Theatre - Crown Center
In 2003 -in a rare stroke of inspiration - George Harter and Nathan Granner decided to put on a show featuring the songs of Belgian singer/ songwriter
Jacques Brel….for reasons neither of them can recall.
It may have been that they really wanted to produce "Jacques Brel is Alive and Well and Living in Paris"; except, that in 2003 Brel had been dead some 26
years. So Nathan hired local composer/ arranger Brad Cox to arrange fifteen of Brel's songs for a Tango Band and four singers and George wrote a simple
narrative to tie them together. There result was only three performances on the Belger Cartage Company loading dock that –apparently - no one has forgotten.
At least once a month for the past ten years someone has asked George: "When are you going to bring back the Jacques Brel?"
Now – at last – the answer is: Friday, November 7 and Saturday, November 8th at the Off Center Theater at Crown Center. Three performances only.
Jacques Brel; the Life & Music of a Legend
Arrangements by Brad Cox/ written by George Harter
Directed by Paul Hough
Music Direction by Brad Cox
Performed by Tango Lorca with
Jessalyn Kincaid, Justin McCoy, Lucas Pherigo & Shay Estes
The songs of Jacques Brel written and performed by him in Paris in the late 1950's through the early 1970's are powerful, violent, passionate songs of the
human spirit, with each one like a small theater piece.
Some will be sung in English, some in French. Highlights will include AMSTERDAM, IF WE ONLY HAD LOVE, JACKY (Chanson de Jacky, OLD FOLKS (Les Vieux, SONG OF
AGING LOVERS (Chanson des Vieux Amants), MARIEKE, MARIEKE, MADELEINE, LES BOURGEOIS and, of course his most well-known song of all NE ME QUITTE PAS, better
known as IF YOU GO AWAY.
3 Performances only, produced by Musical Theater Heritage at the Off Center Theatre, Crown Center. Friday, November 7 @ 7pm, Saturday, November 8 @ 2pm,
and Saturday November 8 @ 8pm. Tickets are $22-$75, and may be ordered by calling (816) 545-6000, or online at www.MTHKC.com.
