Upcoming auditions at ‘Players By The Sea’ for new show

So, you think you’ve got talent; well, Players by the Sea will hold auditions for the musical called “A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum” on Sunday, October 20 from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. Registration begins at 12 p.m.

Auditionees are asked to prepare 16 bars of a musical theatre song.  An accompanist will be provided, so those auditioning should bring sheet music with them.  No a cappella auditions or recorded accompaniment will be allowed.  A short movement audition will follow the singing portion, so attendees should be prepared to dance.  They may be asked to read from the script but preparation of a monologue is not necessary for this audition.

Players by the Sea is seeking a diverse ensemble cast of eighteen adults (age 18 and over).  All roles are available to any ethnicity.  Gender-fluid casting may also be considered. Roles are open to non-equity actors only.

Director, Michael Lipp said, “Farce is an exciting challenge for both the director and actor, and it requires painstaking specificity and a strong sense of comic split-second timing. I'm looking for a diverse cast as this is a meta "show within a show" and offers lots of roles that can be cast with many different "types." But comedy, and particularly farce, is tough so the cast needs to be ready to work!”

The show is based loosely on classical Roman comedies and tells the bawdy tale of a slave named Pseudolus and his attempts to win his freedom by helping his young master, Hero, woo the “girl next door.”  This hilarious farcical romp is filled with double entendres, puns, mistaken identity, comic deception, satirical comments on social class, and finally, true love.

Those interested in auditioning should bring a headshot and resume stapled if available (no previous experience is necessary), along with a list of all conflicts from October 20th through February 15th.  Please note: rehearsals will begin in early November and will be held primarily on weekday evenings and occasional weekend mornings or afternoons.  Significant time off from rehearsals will be provided the full week of Thanksgiving and the holiday break from December 21st. through New Year’s Day.  All cast members must be free of conflicts for all scheduled rehearsals the final two weeks, beginning January 13, and must be available for all performances.


Performance dates are as follows: January 24, 25, 30, 31, and February 1, 2, 6, 7, 8, 9, 13, 14, 15, 2020.

About Players By The Sea — For over fifty-three years, Players by the Sea has brought quality creative and classic theatre to the Jacksonville community.  Players mission is to enrich the community through excellence in theatre.  The nonprofit community theatre welcomes all creative artists to participate in making the magic of theatre come to life, whether on stage, through advocacy or assisting backstage.

Alhambra announces its 2020 schedule

The iconic Alhambra Theatre & Dining will open its 52nd season on January 9, 2020 with a four-week run of the Broadway hit, Love Letters. The Alhambra announced its 2020 season line up in early September to its current season subscribers, what the Alhambra refers to as “Season Partners”.  There are more than 4,000 such fans of the Alhambra and the 2020 release marked a new record for renewals.  Beginning Tuesday, September 30, 2019, the proverbial “ticket windows” will open to the general public, giving access to Season Partnerships and single-show purchasing.

The 2020 season features seven musicals, a dramatic love story (“Love Letters”) and a comedy.  The lineup will include recognizable titles like: “Singin’ in the Rain,” “Grease,” and “Footloose,” based on the hit-movie with Kevin Bacon and John Lithgow as well as a return engagement of Rogers and Hammerstein’s “Cinderella,” last shown at the Alhambra in 2010.  Concluding the year will be Broadway classic, “The Music Man” then the comedy “Love, Sex and the IRS” and the musical rendition of “A Wonderful Life,” a version new to the Alhambra.

In a letter to current Season Partners, Craig Smith, Managing Partner, thanked the Alhambra’s supporters for their continued love of the Theater’s unique brand of entertainment, mixing an award-winning culinary experience with a Broadway-quality show, all in a high-value package for about $50 per person.  Smith reminded the Alhambra’s most loyal fans that, “We truly look at you as partners in this journey, many who have been loyal to the Alhambra for more than 25 years.  Your continued commitment allows us to support organizations like the Jacksonville Sherriff’s Office, Child Cancer Fund, Rotaract Club, Wolfson Children’s Hospital, the USO of Greater Jacksonville and the countless other charities we support. You also allow the Alhambra to enrich the cultural fabric of our city in so many other ways.”

Season Partnerships start at just $299 for a six-show package.  Partnerships include a substantial savings on the single-show pricing and also allow guests to book desired seats long in advance.  Season Partners also receive first notice on the Alhambra’s many other events, including its popular Alhambra After Dark music series and perennially sold-out New Year’s Eve Gala.  Single-show tickets will be available for purchase beginning October on the Alhambra’s website, at the box office or by phone.  Season Partnerships are available by phone or at the box office.

Chris Stapleton will be in JAX for one night

Chris Stapleton will continue his extensive, sold-out “All-American Road Show” through 2019 with newly confirmed performances for this fall.  The shows kicked-off on July 9th. at Allentown’s PPL Center with a tour stop at Jacksonville Veterans Memorial Arena on October 10th.  Special guest openers include: Margo Price, Brent Cobb, Brothers Osborne, The Marcus King Band, and Kendell Marvel.  See complete details HERE.

The newly confirmed shows follow yet another monumental year for Stapleton, who is nominated in three categories at the 61st GRAMMY Awards: Best Country Album (From A Room: Volume 2) and Best Country Solo Performance (“Millionaire”) as well as Best Pop Duo/Group Performance for his performance on Justin Timberlake’s “Say Something.”  Additionally, last year, Stapleton won Male Vocalist of the Year (for the fourth-straight year), Single of the Year (“Broken Halos”) and Song of the Year (“Broken Halos”) at The 52 Annual CMA Awards,
Male Vocalist of the Year and Album of the Year (From A Room: Volume 1 as both artist and producer) at the 53rd Academy of Country Music Awards, Top Country Artist, Top Country Male Artist and Top Country Album (From A Room: Volume 1) at the 2018 Billboard Music Awards and Best Country Album (From A Room: Volume 1), Best Country Song (“Broken Halos”) and Best Country Solo Performance (“Either Way”) at the 60th GRAMMY Awards.

Released in December 2017 on Mercury Records Nashville, From A Room: Volume 2 takes its name from Nashville’s historic RCA Studio A (the capital “A” in “From A Room”) where it was recorded with Grammy Award-winning producer Dave Cobb. Along with Stapleton on vocals and guitar and Cobb on acoustic guitar, the album features Morgane Stapleton on harmony vocals as well as longtime band-members J.T. Cure on bass and Derek Mixon on drums.

In addition to his work as a solo artist, Stapleton is also featured on Justin Timberlake’s “Say Something.”  The music video—which was filmed in a single shot at L.A.’s historic Bradbury Building—has been viewed over 287 million times.  Watch the YouTube video

PBTS’s ‘The Wiz’ as good as Broadway’s


No, it’s not in Kansas, nor is it in NYC; but this rendition of The Wiz is in good-ole Jacksonville, Florida at the Players By The Sea.  It has been over 44 years since this writer had the opportunity to catch an Amtrak from Philly to NYC, in order to see the original production of The Wiz; featuring Stephanie Mills, Mabel King & Phylicia Rashad.  Today the privilege comes once again through the dynamic stage performance from PBTS.  If you’ve seen this representation before, you will not be disappointed, and if you’ve never had the experience, you will be thoroughly entertained.

There is an abundance of talented actors/actresses who grace the stage for this show.  Most are still in school (having to do homework, chores and get some sleep); some work every day (taking care of themselves and family members); yet they sing, remember lines and dance impeccably.  Even though there are no large movable props, the actors’ makeup, the background and other visuals (trees, poppy fields, monkeys etc.).  This writer had a smile on her face for the entire evening.

Please allow me to give a shout-out to a few of the phenomenal cast members of “The Wiz”.  Samantha Nelson (Dorothy) can sing, gyrate down the road, and act with the best of any older actor.  This young lady is a mere freshman at a local high school.  Samantha also speaks volumes with her beautiful expressive eyes.  Sherrod Brown (The Wiz) is a very animated on stage with all of his lines.  J’Quan Jarrell (Scarecrow), Juquan Vickers (Tinman), and Tyvin Mcswain (Lion) fill some gigantic shoes in portraying their characters - well done gentlemen!  Zoe Bell (Addaperle) kept a smile on my face.  You’ve got to read the program and not just judge a book by it’s cover, especially with Michael Clifton whose makeup is perfectly done for his character and accolades for his wonderful singing.

There are 6 background Wiz singers (Jade Higgs, Chantel Hatton, Kanesha Frederick, James Webb, & John White) who compliment the actors on stage.  Their harmony is phenomenal!  The music for the entire show is provided by a young talented ten-piece band (Carson Smisek, Adrienne Bell, Ihlanm Martinez, Marissa Alvarez, Alexander Hernandez, Luis Ocasio LaChelle Bruno, Meghan Ramsey, Mackenzie Jackson & Gena Fitzpatrick).

Special shout-out to DeWitt Cooper and assistant choreographer Arielle Bryant in creating the wonderful footwork for the main cast, ensemble and the children.  The amount of sweat that some of the dance number produced will probably accounts for some weight loss over the weeks of this presentation.

This whole production is the dreamchild of director Jereme Raickett who is an integral member of Players By The Sea.  You may have seen his work over the years from Boleros Dance Studio and also the Alhambra Theatre & Dining.  Don’t forget to take a look at the artwork of Erin Kendrick in the PBTS lobby and get your tickets for “The Wiz” before they run completely out.

Southern Rock Memorabilia at the Thrasher-Horne Center

Thrasher-Horne Center is pleased to announce a special gallery exhibit of “Southern Rock Memorabilia” featuring the history of the Van Zant brothers.  This limited time collection is available for viewing through November 9, 2019.

Jacksonville might be best known as the “Birthplace of Southern Rock” thanks in large part to the legendary Clay County natives who formed Lynyrd Skynyrd and 38 Special.  Ronnie, Donnie and Johnny Van Zant were “simple men” who paved the way, alongside their beloved bandmates, for many other Southern Rock Musicians.

Items from this exhibit are on loan from several private sources including: Donnie and Johnny Van Zant, Ellen Powell (widow of Billy Powell of Lynyrd Skynyrd), Ed “Tinker” Wingate, the Honorable Judge Don Lester and historical data originated by the Clay County Archives.

This gallery exhibit will be on display for a limited time from September 27 through November 9, 2019.  The gallery is free and open to the public weekdays from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.  It will also be available for viewing during the concerts of “Clint Black” (October 25) and “The Help Somebody 3”, featuring 38 Special, a “St. Michaels Soldiers” benefit (November 9).  Donnie and Johnny Van Zant plan to make a special on-stage appearance for this benefit.

LOCATION: The Thrasher-Horne Ctr.

The Thrasher-Horne Center is a performing arts venue and conference center owned and operated by St. Johns River State College.  It is located on the Orange Park campus at 283 College Drive in Orange Park, Florida.  For more information on this exhibit or other Thrasher-Horne Center events visit THcenter.org or call (904) 276-6815.

Alhambra’s ‘Brighton Beach Memoirs’ is phenomenal

Neil Simon's Tony Award winning play, Brighton Beach Memoirs is a MUST-SEE play at the Alhambra Theatre & Dining.  The cast consists of only 7 people, yet the dialogue is immense and none of the actors missed a beat (at least they never appeared to miss a line, and that is a representation of true acting).  This reviewer has never seen this play before, and it kept me laughing and interested throughout the entire performance.

As said previously, there is a lot of dialogue and allow me to give some credit to whom credit is due.  I can’t brag enough on a young veteran actor who is only a sophomore at Douglas Anderson School of the Arts and is also a member of the Actors Equity AssociationEvan Gray* portrays (Eugene Jerome and is also the Narrator for portions of the play).  Evan has been in four previous shows at the Alhambra and you don’t want to miss him in this one.  There has to be a love of the theater for this young man to do homework, go to school each day, accomplish his chores and be on stage Tuesday thru Sunday nights and matinees on the weekend.

You may have seen Hillary Hickam* (Kate Jerome) onscreen and yes, she plays a huge part along with Stacey Harris* (Blanche Morton) who has graced the stage of the Alhambra in “The Addams Family”.  Both ladies portray sisters who grow together in a blended household with the ups and downs associated with overcrowding in a one-family home.

Emma Decker (Laurie Morton) & Kelly Wolfe (Nora Morton) are newbies to the Alhambra, nonetheless, we may see these ladies in upcoming shows.  They both have an interest in acting and both are pursuing the acting bug.

Cameron Hale Elliott* (Stanley Jerome) was recently in Alhambra’s “Mamma Mia!” and he meshes well with younger brother Evan Gray, as the older brother who gives advice and has a surprise for the audience toward the end of the show.

Veteran actor Robert Herrle* (Jack Jerome) is the patriarch of the Jerome family as this marks his fourth show with the Alhambra. Herrle is more noted around his home in Orlando, Florida; yet you might have been privileged to see him working on stage with Disney Cruise Lines.

If plays are your choice of entertainment over musicals, then you’ll want to get you tickets NOW for a seat in the audience, while Neil Simon’s “Brighton Beach” is still on stage at the Alhambra.

NB - * Denotes Actors Equity Association!

RECOMENDATIONS OF THE MENU:
First Course
Old-Fashioned Chicken Noodle Soup,
OR Home Run Salad with chopped romaine, tomatoes, cucumbers, boiled eggs, green onions, green peppers, carrots, raisins, sliced almonds, Green Goddess dressing *GF*.  Both were good.  If you don’t like a lot of salad dressing, request your dressing on the side.
Second Course (Choice of One) Pierogi Shepherd’s Pie with ground beef and mixed vegetables and rich gravy, fluffy potatoes and cheese pierogies, OR Chicken & Waffles - with cardamom syrup and strawberry butter & Fruit with Poppy Seed Dressing.  As always, Chef DeJuan’s Fried Chicken is Da BOMB and the waffles have a sweet taste that didn’t require any additional syrup. 
Third Course (Choice of One) Lemon Chiffon Cake OR Boston Cream Pie  Both desserts were scrumptious and the portions are just enough to enjoy with coffee or tea.
