Once we begin rehearsal in the performance space, we will be observing social distancing. mailto:ixionensemble@gmail.com www.ixiontheatre.com Longtime Lansing Theatre activist Todd Heywood is looking for a new home; Facebook has gleaned offers of moving help, but still no place to go:
"OK this is an official cry for help. It seems the landlord got offers on the property from the showing on Monday - that's great btw for him. BUT the offers are contingent on the ground floor apartments being vacated. I am one of those apartments. I was given a verbal 30 day notice today (7/1/20). I NEED to find a place, downtown Lansing preferred, ground floor, one bedroom, pets/EA animals allowed, prefer utilities included.” Message Todd Heywood on Facebook if you know of any suitable lodgings. (From Andromeda Community Theatre in Charlotte) to all theatre groups in the Greater Lansing Area - questions we are all grappling with:
• What streaming platform have you had the best luck with? Are there specific things you like or don't about certain platforms? • Do you have any plans to reopen? What do those plans include, ie, masks, social distancing, waiting for the governor, etc. Contact mailto:fboston@andromedaplayers.org Sorry for the rush but I didn't get the press release until this morning.

Peppermint Creek Theatre’s passion statement is to produce contemporary theatre that addresses vital issues in our society, raise awareness, and encourage dialogue while entertaining. When vital issues today include a pandemic and an American society raising its voice against centuries-long injustices, we at Peppermint Creek are looking to begin a project to lift up and engage community voices. We are asking you to share your suggestions for powerful and important texts from America’s past, reflecting all types of American voices with us. It may be in the form of letters, texts, speeches, song lyrics, PCTC is looking to raise voices that are not necessarily recorded in our history books. These texts will be combined into a project during our 2020-21 season with a goal to learn how we as a country have managed to get where we stand today. Once submitted, selected texts will be compiled into a presentation in partnership with young members of our communities to reflect upon and interpret through words, art, and performance. If you have ideas for any texts we should use in this performance, please send them to mailto:office@peppermintcreek.orgno later than July 10, 2020. Please include the title of the text (if applicable), the author, and the location of the text (either include the material in your email or a link to the source material). We are excited to create an original production for this coming season that leverages voices from our past and those of today's youth as guides as we form a roadmap for how we the people can move forward into a tomorrow worthy of our ideals. As we continue staying home and staying safe, Bay City Players are happy to be able to bring you another installment in the #MakeArtVirtual series.
This week our home-bound actors will be presenting an original play by T.E. Klunzinger “Shostakovich in New York: A Mostly True Story“ TUESDAY, June 16 - 7:30 pm go to http://baycityplayers.org/2020/06/15/bay-city-players-presents-virtually-shostakovich-in-new-york-a-mostly-true-story-an-online-event-jun-16/ As always, these events are free to all, but donations are appreciated and can be made at http://www.baycityplayers.org/donate Synopsis: In March 1949, under difficult circumstances, composer Dmitri Shostakovich was part of the Soviet delegation to the Cultural and Scientific Congress for World Peace at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York City. He had been told to deliver an unpalatable speech, but he got through it, perhaps helped by a host who provided some novel stress relief. About the Playwright: T.E. Klunzinger is a member of the Dramatists Guild, Community Theatre Association of Michigan and is a graduate of Michigan State University. He lives in Haslett and spends a lot of time with his faithful laptop. (And, of course, Tom has been active in Lansing area theatre for many years.) Jim Hoffmaster
This Lansing actor left the area nearly 20 years ago soon after playing Fagin in Riverwalk’s Oliver! He’s had some success and some struggles in L.A. since, and now plays a recurring, small, but notable role as barfly “Kermit” in Showtime’s Shameless, AND is having a documentary made about his life…https://www.actinglikenothingiswrong.com AND also just got laid off from his “day job” at Weight Watchers. Now he’s getting all electronic on us in these new virtual times. You can purchase a “Cameo” personalized message from him for birthdays or any occasion, https://www.cameo.com/search?q=Jim Hoffmaster&nodeType=user&nodeId=5dcefa1eaa0dc401701bb3b0 AND he has just started a Podcast, which is free to listen to, but I think he may get some money from ads or such? https://anchor.fm/jim-hoffmaster/episodes/Artistic-Expression-vs-Entertaining-Myself-eemsod So — check it out, if you remember Jim — or even if you don’t. He’s an interesting guy! |
