Toledo Rep’s ‘Young Frankenstein’ auditions to be held March 22
Auditions for the Toledo Rep’s “Young Frankenstein: The New Mel Brooks Musical” will be held at Toledo School for the Arts, 333 14th Street #4, on Saturday, March 22 beginning at 1 p.m. “Young Frankenstein,” the wickedly inspired re-imagining of the Frankenstein legend, is based on Mel Brooks’ classic 1974 comedy film masterpiece. The story follows bright, young Dr. Frankenstein (that’s Fronkensteen) as he attempts to complete his grandfather’s masterwork and bring a corpse to life with scary and hilarious complications. This musical comedy hit was the winner of the 2008 Outer Critics Circle Award. Accompanied by a live musical combo, the show includes memorable tunes such as “The Transylvania Mania,” “He Vas My Boyfriend” and the famous “Puttin’ On the Ritz.” Directed by Amy Spaulding-Heuring, performances will take place June 6 and 7, 13-15 and 19-22. For a list of character descriptions, please visit www.toledorep.org under the Auditions tab.

Toledo Rep to present ‘The Glass Menagerie’ April 4-6, 10-13
The Toledo Repertoire Theatre will present Tennessee Williams’ classic drama “The Glass Menagerie,” April 4-6 and 10-13 on the 10th Street stage. Directed by Jeffrey J. Albright, this memory play depicts the story of Amanda Wingfield - a remnant of a Southern Belle, now living in poverty with her son, Tom, and her disabled daughter, Laura - who longs to provide her children a life with purpose and direction. Tom escapes to alcohol and the movies, while Amanda’s anxiety for her daughter’s marriage prospects drives Laura further into isolation from the outside world. A dinner guest of Tom’s is maneuvered as a possible suitor for Laura, but the worlds of illusion that both mother and daughter have created soon crash around them. Thursday, Friday and Saturday performances are at 8 p.m., Sundays at 2:30 p.m. To purchase tickets, please visit www.toledorep.org or call 419-243-9277.
