Cleveland Public Theatre Presents Big [BOX]
Award-winning artists in residency program returns


Cleveland Public Theatre Executive Artistic Director Raymond Bobgan is proud to announce the participating artists for the 2010 Big [BOX] series.  Big [BOX] is an award-winning residency program produced by Cleveland Public Theatre that focuses on the independent creative artist and the exciting things that can happen when one is given the space and time to create. Cleveland Public Theatre is proud to support and foster the work of area artists in this unique program. Over eight weekends, local artists are given keys to The James Levin Theatre and the freedom to transform the space for the presentation of their work.


Big [Box]
Onstage through March 7
Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30pm, Sundays at 3:00pm
Tickets:  General Admission $15 | Students and Seniors $12

February 19th - February 21st
Concentric Cycles
Choreographed by Lisa K. Lock, performed by Amy Compton and Lisa K. Lock

Choreographer and performer Lisa K. Lock's new work ponders questions about the privilege of owning a body, in a fable of incarnating souls. As time passes, memories weave a fabric that connects with the present, shaping every moment of our lives. A mysterious karmic tale that spans a lifetime repetitively gives second chances and allows for grasping wisdom through mistakes made in the heat of passion.
Dirt
Choreographed and Performed by Michael Medcalf

Dirt is the title piece and the first installment of a multimedia dance trilogy loosely inspired by the book The Prophet by poet, philosopher and artist Kahlil Gibran. Dirt is a solo dance piece performed by Medcalf along with live musicians and projected video.

February 26th - February 28th
Hum
Written by Sebastian H. Orr

In Hum, four characters gently weave their disparate narratives. A letter from a long-forgotten ex-girlfriend, a monster in the backyard, a math lesson, and a road trip to the Ohio Caverns. Four very different stories with one ominous, unifying thread. "Apparently Dan was just gone. He hadn't left a note or anything and he just wasn't there. Vanished. And so I suggested Randall take a look to see if Dan's car was still there, but Randall said Dan always got a ride, and poor Randall. He just didn't know what to do." Featuring Nathaniel Ewert-Krocker, Robert Hawkes, Jennifer Hayek and Anne McEvoy.

March 5th - March 7th
McInjun
Written and performed by Cat Kenney
Directed by Lisa Ortenzi

McInjun is the story of a geeky 15-year-old half-Seminole, half-Irish boy, new to the city of Cleveland, but not new to the feelings of isolation that being the oddest of all outsiders brings. When the bus leaves him stranded, he must make a late-night journey through Cleveland from the Playhouse to his home in Bay Village. With folktales, memory, and imagination, he combats fear, fatigue, and the unknown as he struggles to find his own path home.

HonkFest!
Created by James Krouse

HonkFest! 2010 is coming to Cleveland, and you're invited. HonkFest! is a festival of arts, culture, and ideas presented every year in Hohonkus, NJ. Originally conceived as the Hohonkus Festival of Arts, Culture, and Ideas in 1998 by the Hohonkus League of Women Leaders (with Jean Brackenbridge as the Executive Director), the festival was rebranded this past year as HonkFest! and now incorporates talent from all over the world under the leadership of Greg Musmeci, Artistic Liaison. Come hear actual Hohonks (as they like to be called) discuss art, culture, and their personal lives. Not necessarily in that order. Featuring Katelyn Cornelius, Jim Lenahan, Adam Smith and Susan Wagner.
