Public Theatre Executive Artistic Director Raymond Bobgan is proud to present
the 2008 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. Now in its sixth successful year, Cleveland Public
Theatre is proud to support and foster the work of area artists in this
unique program. Over eight weekends, ten artists are given keys to The James
Levin Theatre and the freedom to transform the space for the presentation of
their work. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

of fourteen one act comedies travel that distance and illustrate how close

In these plays it’s one detail that changes normal characters and
situations into abnormal ones. A desire to want. A casual Friday
gone too far. An interviewee with something to hide. An
unexpected church announcement. A notice for jury duty. A
consultant with a grudge. A one woman welcome committee. A goat
at a petting zoo. These are the points where everyday life turns
absurd. Modern Problems will change your life for the better ... or the worse
... or leave it absolutely unchanged. If it does not do one of these
three things you probably weren’t paying attention and have no one to
blame but yourself.</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>

they are being seen by an audience, or by anyone for that matter - their
invisibility is part of their problem. The play explores a spectrum of
gender expression from a completely closeted and repressed Irish Catholic
priest to a cross-dressing shaman doing a public access cable television
show. Each character searches for - and ponders what it means to
have - an essential self, in a world that makes it necessary to hide it.

mythical Khandihba, the Drooler, Sensualist, Nibbler, Fanatic, and S&M
Guy each enjoy YumBar, the local delicacy, in their own unique manner, and
all carry on a daily discordance as to whose method and perception is best.
A mysterious woman appears and seduces the folks to accept her MyBar
instead, modulating and altering each character's musical theme to bend that
person to her will and, more importantly, to destroy the economy of
Khandihba. Her game is exposed, and a dangerous mob forms! The wise
Mayoress recognizes that diversity is a necessary part of society, and
persuades everyone to welcome the interloper and her MyBar into their quirky
fold. Written in the American Neoromantic genre, <i><span style='font-style:
