Beck Center for the Arts has announced the third production of their 2021-2022 Youth Theater Season. The 73rd season continues with the beloved musical that started it all for so many fans of musical theater.

Amélie, which is now on stage at Mercury Theatre, is a musical is based on the romantic comedy film of the same name.

Beck Center for the Arts' 2021-2022 Youth Theater Season is filled with entertaining and exciting titles perfect for the entire family. The season starts with a modern, original parody of the cult classic sci-fi comedy Little Shop of Horrors by Russ Stich titled Little Tech Shop of Horrors: When Good Science Goes Bad. 

Beck Center for the Arts has announced The Teen Untitled Sketch Show. This production allows for maximum creativity Beck Center students. Beck Center’s upcoming Youth Theater production presents a unique opportunity to bring out more than these students’ acting skills; this process also allows for real life writing for stage experience.

Greater Cleveland is blessed with a vital theater scene. It the purpose of BROADWAY WORLD.COM-PROFESSIONAL CLEVELAND THEATER TRIBUTES (BWW-CLE Theater Tributes), to recognize theatrical experiences and theater personnel that, in the subjective view of this reviewer, deserve distinctive mention.

Kenneth Lonergan is noted for writing about decent people who are unexpectedly challenged by issues of ethics. In his 'Lobby Hero,' now on stage at Blank Canvas, the 2016 Oscar winner for 'Manchester by the Sea' specifically asks, 'What happens when emotions come in conflict with principles.'

Blank Canvas has a niche audience. They love slasher, off-the-wall, ridiculous plotted plays, especially musicals.

Musicals come in different forms. Musical comedies, such as 'Cinderella' and 'School of Rock' intend to entertain. Musical dramas--think 'Dear Evan Hansen,' 'Come From Away,' and 'Hamilton,' relay thoughtful ideas in words, song and dance. The musical tragedy, such as 'Sweeney Todd' and 'The Kiss Of The Spider Woman,' which is now on stage at Blank Canvas, finds a 'victim' in a society which doesn't understand or appreciate them, resulting in dire consequences.

This season, Blank Canvas will welcome four female directors to its staff! Blank Canvas theater is committed to fostering a diverse and equitable theater community.

As Blank Canvas's program notes states, 'Before 'South Park.' Before 'The Book of Mormon. There was 'Cannibal! The Musical!'

Blank Canvas Theatre presents The Professional Cleveland Premiere of WE WILL ROCK YOU, with music and lyrics by QUEEN, and story and script by Ben Elton, August 3 - 18.
