Independence Community Theater presents Barbecuing Hamlet
by Carolyn Todd 04 May '23

04 May '23

Independence Community Theater is proud to present Barbecuing Hamlet by Pat Cook. Directed by: Kevin Cline Show dates: May 5th, 6th, 12th, 13th, 19th, 20th at 8:00pm and May 14th at 2:00pm To purchase tickets please call our Box Office at 216.447.0443 Wouldn't it be great fun to direct William Shakespeare's "Hamlet"? That was what Margo Daley always thought...until she is hired to do just that by the Peaceful Glen Memorial Players in their theater, a renovated funeral home. They DO have a couple of conditions, however. Margo has to make the play a melodrama, so the audience will know when to throw the popcorn. And they can't be too loud because the lady who lives under the theater bangs her cane on the stage. Oh, and Margo has to insert the sponsors' names into the play and, by the way, has to take place in the Old West. "And make sure the actors talk real loud because of all the noise the audience makes sucking their fingers," states one of the council members, an occupational hazard brought about by them selling barbecue before the show. All kinds of eccentric characters come out of the woodwork in this riotous tribute to life on the community theater stage. Even the pizza delivery boy is given parts - several since Margo only has four actors to portray the five-act tragedy. Fast lines and even faster exits punctuate this farce as Margo and her troupe of misguided actors find out what it's like when they begin "Barbecuing Hamlet."

THE WALL: "Run to this experience," "A must see!"
by Ray Caspio 04 May '23

04 May '23

*"Powerful, thought provoking and provocative! A must see!"* -Cleveland Explored *"[Caspio's] presence is always compelling...and [their] words!"* -Christine Howey *"Vulnerable, beautiful, sexy, political, emotional art and performance in one gallery. Run to this experience, I’m so glad I got to be in town for this."* -NE, patron *"I’ve never felt art like this before. Ineffable. (My best tries: sensual, uncomfortable, brave, turbulent, inspiring, grave, poetic…not even close). I recommend taking some time with this soul collection that Ray Caspio has put together. Go in with no expectations and just feel it."* -AW, patron 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. *PERFORMANCES* Fridays, May 5, May 12, May 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, April 15-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, painter, and teaching artist. Their art is one of exposure. Caspio creates atmospheric works ranging from confessional to comedic 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*

OF MICE AND MEN opens Friday - Blank Canvas Theatre
by info blankcanvastheatre.com 04 May '23

04 May '23

"Blank Canvas's OF MICE AND MEN is a compelling piece of theatre. This is an absolutely must-see production filled with fine acting and focused staging." Blank Canvas Theatre Presents OF MICE AND MEN By John Steinbeck May 5 - 20 Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays at 8:00pm Sundays at 7:00pm This critically acclaimed revival from our first season is still relevant today. Hope slams headlong into a wall of tragic bad luck in this tale of migrant workers in Depression-era California. A seemingly impossible American Dream fuels sadness, yet the depth of tragedy is balanced by joy and friendship, hope and aspiration. In George and Lenny, we have one of literature's most memorable friendships. As relevant now as it ever was, Steinbeck's play follows his novel closely. An intimate portrait of two men facing a world marked by petty tyranny, misunderstanding, jealousy, and callousness, Of Mice and Men explores questions of strength, weakness, usefulness, reality and utopia in Depression-Era California. RATED: PG-13 RUN TIME: 2hr 20min WARNING: There are some disturbing words that the playwright (John Steinbeck) included which was reflective of the vernacular used during the period of the The Great Depression (1929-1939). ADDITIONAL TRIGGER & CONTENT WARNING: This play contains the following; racism, ableism, misogyny, murder, gun violence, and animal death.
