The event will feature 20+ experimental performances and visual art installations ranging in level of completion―some pieces are new, while some have been developed over a longer period. Some pieces will operate as an art exhibit where patrons can come and go as they choose, while some will be timed and presented at multiple times throughout the day. Participating artists include the following: Raymond Bobgan, Molly Andrews-Hinders, Caroline Breder-Watts, Isaiah Burns, CHIMI, Ray Caspio, Michael Glavan, Brooke Lynlee, Demetria McCulloh, Molly McFadden, Dave Maher, Fatima Matar, Elizabeth Pollert, Lacy Talley, Nadia Tarnawsky, Anastasía Urozhaeva, Kerstin Vaughn and Chris Webb.

Our cast features Nicole Coury as Emma, Anne McEvoy as Alta, Maggie Rhodes as Mary, Doug Sutherland as George and Richard Worswick as Resten. Admission is $21 for adults, $20 for seniors (60+), and $13 for students (any age with a valid ID) and may be purchased by calling the Box Office at 440-331-0403 Wednesday through Saturday from 1-6PM or by visiting bit.ly/ClaguePlayhouseTickets.
