Cincinnati Actor's Studio & Academy (CASA)

The Living Room Series:

As the founder of CASA, I want you, the audience, to feel as if I am inviting you into my house, my living room, for an evening of entertainment.

The image of Queen Elizabeth I bringing guests into her court to see the newest masque or hear the newest play comes to mind. There was nothing "elaborate" to it, except the queen, her castle, the lords and ladies...ok, so it was elaborate...but the idea of opening one's home to guest and providing them with entertainment in an intimate setting thrills me! Thus, the Living Room Series.

Goals of the Living room Series:

1. Casts which require young performers - giving them the opportunity to work side by side with experienced professionals - doing shows that would most likely NOT be done in a high school theatre.

2. An intimate setting for the audience with uniquely environmental productions.

3. Making art by telling a story.

4. Keeping all productions affordable to anyone by using pay-what-you-can prices, then giving back to the community by donating proceeds to a charitable cause.

Thank you for your support!

Sincerely,

Gina Cerimele-Mechley
