Auditions for HG's Production of "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time" are July 13, 14 & 15
Auditions to cast characters in "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time” are at 3 p.m. on Saturday, July 13 and at 7 p.m. on Sunday, July 14 and Monday, July 15 in the Warehouse Theatre at 3 Central Avenue in Wellsboro.
The play is written by Simon Stephens based on the 2003 mystery novel by British writer Mark Haddon. The first performance was given in London on Aug. 12, 2012.
Being cast are: Christopher, a 15-year-old boy on the autistic spectrum who is a math genius; Siobhan, his teacher; Ed, his father; Judy, his mother; and three women and three men, who each play various roles.
“The actors will be on stage almost the entire play,” said Director Thomas Putnam. “The set and staging are highly theatrical in that the actors often play or create the set pieces and sound effects. The play is set in England and although we may explore the use of accents that shouldn’t discourage people from auditioning,” he noted. “It’s a beautiful, ensemble play and one that requires actors to be willing to extend the limits of their comfort level and explore new ways of thinking,” Putnam added.
Performances will be at 7:30 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays, Nov. 1 and 2 and Nov. 7 and 8 and at 2:30 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 3 in the Deane Center’s Coolidge Theatre at 104 Main Street in Wellsboro. Co-sponsoring this production are Dr. Richard and Kate Black and Partners In Progress.
For more information, call Putnam at 570-724-2079 or email him at hamgib@gmail.com.

Brian Hoffman Tribute to Red Skelton is Friday, July 12
Pictured is Brian Hoffman dressed as Red Skelton characters. |
While people are coming into the theatre at Wellsboro, Hoffman will run video and slides of 1950s and 60s TV and radio celebrities, old cars and TV commercials to bring back wonderful memories for baby boomers.
Hoffman looks, moves and sounds like Skelton, according to those who have seen his show. It is family friendly clean comedy for all ages and is the only tribute endorsed by the Skelton Estate.
In Variety, it was stated in a review of the show, "Mr. Hoffman's tribute reminds us that Red's clean humor and love of country should still have a place in today's world."
"Brian's tribute to Red is a must-see for those that watched the Red Skelton Show on TV. It's sweet family humor and sadly missed," wrote a reviewer in the Las Vegas Review Journal.
Between 1937 and 1971, Skelton, a comic genius, created many famous characters and was called "America's favorite clown." He hosted The Red Skelton Show on television from 1951 to 1971.
Admission is $25 and $22 for seniors 65 and older. For tickets or information, call 570-724-6220 or visit www.deanecenter.com.

Auditions for Hamilton-Gibson Women's Project Fall Production "Let's Cast Some Light on the Subject" are July 16, 17, 27 & 28
Being cast are roles for the organization's October theatrical production "Let's Cast Some Light on the Subject." Chosen for the production are already published works, none of them by local playwrights.
Co-producers are Barbara Biddison and Coleen Evert. "Everyone is welcome to audition," Biddison said. Those who do are reminded that it is important to attend rehearsals and performances.
Auditions for men and women who range in age from their 20s to their 80s will be at 6 p.m. on Tuesday and Wednesday, July 16 and 17, at 9 a.m. on Saturday, July 27 and at 1 p.m. on Sunday, July 28. No preparation or acting experience is necessary to audition.
The seven directors will be at the four auditions, select their casts and schedule rehearsals in August, September and early October. Performances are at 7:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, Oct. 11 and 12 and 2:30 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 13 in the Warehouse Theatre.
Those directing short plays include: Yolie Canales, "Relative Strangers"; Noyes Lawton, "Grunions"; Kacy Zuchowski Hagan, "Precipice"; Jessie Thompson, "First Fireworks"; and Linda Iseri, "Lost". Directing two monologues apiece are Linda Young, "Prometheus" and "Tangerine Hunter" and Jen Painter, "Where Do Mermaids Stand" and "Cinderella and the Barking Pig".
"Relative Strangers" is a funny, touching story about three women traveling on an airplane. Marie Harvey is a middle-aged woman who wants to be alone with her Bloody Mary. Marie Barrett is a 20-something woman looking for motherly advice. Virginia is a flight attendant with a Southern accent.
"Grunions" is a comedy/drama about a married couple in their 30s or 40s who argue constantly. They go on the same trip every year to see grunions, a small fish, but haven't been successful yet.
"Precipice" explores how people react to stress. A man and a woman, both in their late 20s to early 40s, are stranded on Mount Rainier. They are faced with a choice - leap across a chasm veiled with fog and hopefully land safely on the other side or remain where they are and try to weather a storm, for which they are ill-prepared.
With humor and insight, "First Fireworks" paints a meaningful and poignant picture of the relationship between a mother, 50 or older, and daughter, 25 to 40 years old. The mother shares some hard-earned wisdom with her daughter as they discuss family, marriage and children.
"Lost" is a one act comedy about Helen and Alice who are preparing for a theatre outing. These two women of a certain age appear to be really old friends.
The monologues "Prometheus" and "Tangerine Hunter" both focus on the differences between "classes" as the characters find their sense of place in the world. Needed are one woman of any age and a young woman who can pass for a child.
"Where Do Mermaids Stand" and "Cinderella and the Barking Pig" are monologues that explore the boundaries of what is "normal" and "acceptable" through the eyes of a child. Cast members include two adults of any age and a child under the age of 12.
The "Let's Cast Some Light on the Subject" production is sponsored in part by Keith and Hilma Cooper, Dunkin Donuts of Wellsboro, the Wellsboro Business & Professional Women's Club and the Friday Club of Wellsboro.

Hamilton-Gibson Productions is bringing "Mamma Mia” to the Straughn Auditorium stage on the Mansfield University campus. Performances by the 30-member cast will be at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, July 12, Saturdays, July 13 and July 20 and at 2:30 p.m. on Sunday, July 21.
“Here are 30 people, many heretofore unknown to each other, spending hours and hours together, singing, dancing, laughing, creating something wonderful for the whole family,” said Director Thomas Putnam. “Some of these folks had never been on stage before, ever. Others have not only been on stage, but know the words to every ABBA song ever recorded. It's a wonderful mix of people and backgrounds and interests in a dramatically creative process. We're looking forward to sharing it with the community.”
It is said that on any given day at least seven performances of the musical are taking place somewhere around the world.
"Mamma Mia!" premiered in the West End at the Prince Edward Theatre on April 6, 1999. The London production was one of the first times producer Judy Craymer, book writer Catherine Johnson and director, Phyllida Lloyd collaborated as a creative team. The show's immense commercial success was significant for the image of female creators in musical theatre.
The storytelling magic of ABBA's music and lyrics for this global smash hit, such as "Gimme Gimme, Gimme," "The Name of the Game," "Knowing Me, Knowing You" and "Super Trouper," are from Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus who, along with Anni-Frid Lyngstad and Agnetha Fältskog formed ABBA in 1972. The band shot to fame by winning the 1974 Eurovision Song Contest with "Waterloo," and, before splitting up 37 years ago in 1982, had many big hits in the 1970s such as "Dancing Queen." The Swedish pop group recently reunited and is planning to release a new song this September or October.
A film adaptation of "Mamma Mia!" was released in 2008 featuring many members from the original London production creative team. On July 20, 2018, a film sequel, Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again" was released.
Sponsors of the HG production are Elite Therapy, Chris Jones and Drs. Maria Cruz and Edgar Wong. Admission for adults of all ages is $12 and $6 for youth, 18 and under. Purchase tickets online at the HG website at hamiltongibson.org or via links to TicketLeap on HG's Facebook page or at the door. For more information, call 570-724-2079 or email hamgib@gmail.com.

Brian Hoffman Tribute to Comedian Red Skelton is Friday, July 12
Comedian Brian Hoffman is shown as Red Skelton portraying Clem Kadiddlehopper, one of his many characters. |
This family friendly, clean comedy show is for all ages. It is the only tribute endorsed by the Skelton Estate.
Richard Bernard Eheart was called Red Skelton professionally. As Skelton, he was best known for his national radio and television acts between 1937 and 1971, and as host of the television program The Red Skelton Show, which aired from 1951 to 1971. The comedian passed away on Sept. 17, 1997 at the age of 84.
Hoffman's expert portrayal of Skelton's famous characters keeps audiences in stitches and reminds them why Skelton was called "America's favorite clown." His ability to look, move and sound like Skelton gives audiences the opportunity to laugh with Clem Kadiddlehopper, giggle with Gertrude and Heathcliff and feel the love of Freddy the Freeloader.
Originally from North Dakota, Hoffman remembers watching the Red Skelton Show when he was a little boy. "Red left the airwaves in 1971 when I was 10 years old," he said.
Hoffman's career in comedy began when he got on stage at an amateur night at the Hilarities Comedy Club in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio. "I had fun and so did the audience," he said.
His comedy was based on his life experiences. Before becoming a comedian, Hoffman was an over-the-road truck driver, a door-to-door cold call salesman, a used car salesman and finally a service writer at a Dodge dealership.
He began emceeing at Hilarities one week a month for six months, became a featured comedian there and also began headlining shows elsewhere across the states of Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Kentucky and West Virginia. To satisfy the joy of making people laugh, Hoffman also booked his own gigs with small companies and private organizations.
"One night after a show at Hilarities, one of their regular couples came up to me and said the words that would eventually change me into what I do now. 'Do you know who you remind us of? Red Skelton.' Shortly thereafter, I started to end my shows with an impression of Red Skelton doing a Gertrude and Heathcliff joke. People loved it," he said.
From there Hoffman found as many DVDs and videos of Skelton's show and comedy routines as he could and began developing his Red Skelton tribute show.
Today, Hoffman has his own theatre in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee next to Dollywood where he performs his tribute show to Skelton. A few weekends each year, he takes his show on the road.
Admission is $25 and $22 for seniors 65 and older. For tickets to the show, call 570-724-6220 or visit www.deanecenter.com.
