THE WALL: "Check out this stunning work thru May 27"
by Ray Caspio 11 May '23

11 May '23

*"Beautiful, layered, inviting whole selves and deep inquiry...richly philosophical and utterly present.Check out this stunning work thru May 27."* - Molly Andrews-Hinders, artist *"[Caspio's] presence is always compelling...and [their] words!"* -Christine Howey *"Powerful, thought-provoking and provocative! A must see!"* -Cleveland Explored *raycaspio.com/thewall <http://raycaspio.com/thewall>* *for tickets and more information* THE WALL is a durational performance installation centered around a 6’4” x 6’4” wall of text from Caspio’s studio composed of automatic writings recorded during their 18 month pandemic isolation. The result is a dreamlike meditation on loss, Self, sexuality, and memory inviting participants to face the walls we erect around ourselves. THE WALL's raw vulnerability and immersive reflection in a time of lies, chaos, and fear of "the other" is a journey of acceptance toward the wholeness of ourselves, and each other, before our time is through. THE WALL brings the story to life through paintings, audio, photography, and automatic and homoerotic drawings, with performance uniting all of the elements. *REMAINING PERFORMANCES* Fridays, May 12 and 19: 6-9pm Saturday, May 27, 11am-8pm Tickets are Pay-What-You-Can, with a suggested amount of $25 *Come and go as you wish during the performance time.* *Ages 18+ only* *TICKETS:* https://www.raycaspio.com/thewall *GALLERY DAYS* Open to the public Saturdays and Sundays, 2-5pm, thru May 21. Gallery days are free. No performance on Gallery days. Other gallery hours by appointment. Reply to this e-mail to schedule a time. *LOCATION* 1300 Gallery at 78th Street Studios 1300 West 78th Street Cleveland, OH 44102 THE WALL is supported by The Satellite Fund, administered by SPACES, and funded by The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts Regional Regranting Program. It is co-produced by Caspio and Ohio City Theatre Project. *ABOUT RAY CASPIO* Ray Caspio (b. 1979, they/he) is a performance and conceptual artist, and educator. Their art is one of exposure. Caspio creates atmospheric works ranging from confessional to camp/satirical to sincere in an inquiry into memory, Queer identity, loss, the grotesque of society, and profound emotion. They possess a visceral vulnerability and irreverent humor that opens an authentic conduit between the artist and their audience collaborators. Their performances have been recognized as “magical” and “intensely honest and unflinching,” with Ray being called “a shapeshifter” and “one [person] tour de force.” Caspio’s creations have been performed at The Cleveland Museum of Art (CMA), BorderLight Fringe, Theater Ninjas, and Cleveland Public Theatre’s Pandemonium. Caspio’s work appeared on “Best of” lists for Scene Magazine and WCPN’s The Sound of Applause. Ray was profiled by Scene as “The Thespian'' of 2014. Caspio founded Michael Chekhov Center Cleveland to share their understanding of Chekhov’s psychophysical performance principles with Northeast Ohio artists. Ray received a 2016 Creative Workforce Fellowship for their performance work. Through the revealing of cathartic truths of their inner life, Caspio inspires the questions: Who am I? Who are you? Who are we? What is this space we inhabit, together? And what does it mean to be alive? *ABOUT OHIO CITY THEATRE PROJECT* Actively involved in the Cleveland area since 2012, Ohio City Theatre Project (OCTP) strives to create world class theatrical experiences that are experienced intellectually and touch the heart. OCTP uses creative innovation to drive civic dialog about contemporary issues and connects with regional partners to develop synergistic opportunities for local artists to produce new theatrical work and impactful education programs. OCTP is led by Executive Artistic Director Pandora Robertson. OCTP has produced the premieres of new works by Northeast Ohio artists, which include the film But to work! (2021) as well as the plays Central Concern (2019 premiere, 2022 Borderlight Festival Producer’s Choice Award), Incendiaries (2016 premiere, 2018 Ohio Arts Council Individual Excellence Award for playwriting), Snake Oil (2015), Free Radical and The Late Night Sketchbook (2014), Summer Storefront (2013), Living Storefront: A Night of New Theatre (2012), as well as productions of Eugène Ionesco’s The Bald Soprano (2013) and Matt Larsen’s Kid Mystery (2012). *raycaspio.com/thewall <http://raycaspio.com/thewall>* *for tickets and more information*

The play will run on CVLT's main stage at 40 River Street from June 2-18, with curtain times at 7:30pm Fridays and Saturdays, and 2:00pm on Sundays, June 11 and 18. "The Play That Goes Wrong" follows the fictional Cornley Drama Society as they attempt to stage a murder mystery. However, everything that can go wrong on their opening night does so in spectacular fashion. The result is a cascade of hilarious mishaps and calamities, from collapsing sets to forgotten lines and slapstick mayhem. This play-within-a-play will have audiences in stitches from start to finish. "We are thrilled to bring 'The Play That Goes Wrong' to the Chagrin Valley Little Theatre stage," says CVLT veteran Michael J. Rogan, director of the production. "This is a show that truly celebrates the unpredictability of live theatre and the art of physical comedy." The production also features costumes by Jacklyn Kruyne and scenery ingeniously designed by Tom West. Helen Rizi serves as producer. Chagrin Valley Little Theatre has assembled a talented cast and crew to bring this madcap comedy to life. The cast features actors Christopher Bizub, Kevin Derrick, Brandon Ferris, Miron Gusso, Julian Kruyne, Bekah Neubecker, Greg Smith, and Laura Telepak. They are joined by Victor Bernardo, David Bruney, Kaitlyn Poschner, Sarah Dellinger, and John Telepak.
