Perhaps best known for his appearances on television, including his Emmy-winning work as John-Boy on TV's The Waltons and most recently as Agent Frank Gaad in The Americans, it is Richard Thomas's accomplished career on Broadway that made him the perfect choice to be Pittsburgh CLO's next Scrooge. Richard's stage resume includes a string of hit new plays and revivals including The Fifth of July, Race and his 2017 Tony-nominated performance in The Little Foxes. "A MUSICAL CHRISTMAS CAROL is one of Pittsburgh CLO's favorite annual traditions," says Pittsburgh CLO Executive Producer and CEO, Van Kaplan, "and casting the perfect actor to play Scrooge is a key element of what makes the show so special year after year. I am so pleased that Richard is joining us in Pittsburgh to be a part of this special production and to entertain local audiences as the miserly Mr. Scrooge who finds love, hope and redemption in the end." Each December, Pittsburgh CLO's student matinees of A MUSICAL CHRISTMAS CAROL introduce over 7,000 young people to the magic of live theater, many for the first time. Families, co-workers and groups of friends from all across the region make this beloved holiday tradition an annual outing to experience the magic of this seasonal favorite. Thanks to the overwhelming support received from the Next Generation Capital Campaign, the production has stunning new costumes, state-of-the-art set elements and exciting special effects. The success of the Campaign ensures Pittsburgh CLO’s legacy as a cultural leader inspiring the next generation of theater audiences and artists.

  • Do You Have the Pipes to Become a Voice Over Star?
    Chaela Sumner To: Donna Belajac Cc: [email protected]; [email protected] Subject: RE: Article for website: Voice Overs Do You Have The Pipes to Become a Voice Over Star? Filed under: Success Stories, Hot Jobs, Industry ResearchPrint Article Posted Jul 16th 2010 6:22AM By Lisa Johnson Mandell If you've been told you have a great voice and would like to explore how you could make thousands of dollars working a just few hours, a couple of days a week, in your pajamas -- join the club. Millions of people would like to be self-employed in the voice over industry doing just that, especially now that employment is hard to come by. "I get hundreds of calls per week from people from all over the country who want to get into voice over," says James Mandell, owner of VoiceOver LA, a popular voice over agency, casting company and production studio. "Maybe one in a thousand really has the pipes and can get work," he observes. You can't deny it, it sounds like the ideal gig. To secure voice over work, you don't have to shave, put on makeup or even clothes. With technology what it is these days, it's not necessary to leave home to audition. All you need is a computer, a microphone and the right software. Those who believe they have a "face for radio" or live miles from an urban hub have a chance, albeit a remote one. It's not as easy as it sounds "It involves so much more than just having a pleasing voice," Mandell says.
