Cleveland Play House Names Rachel Fink as Managing Director

Beck Center for the Arts' Creative Arts Therapies Department will produce an original theatrical production with music, our 21st Razzle Dazzle: By The Book--The Clef Notes, to be performed April 28 and April 29, 2023 in the Music & Creative Arts Therapies (MCAT) Building on the Oatey Recital Hall Stage.

The cast consists of adults with disabilities, and community volunteers, many of whom have been part of numerous Razzle Dazzle productions over the last twenty one years. Many hours of rehearsal come together in this adapted arts musical theater production that culminates in performances for the public at Beck Center's Lakewood campus. These 34 performers will take the stage to razzle and dazzle you - filling the room with joy and entertainment form beginning to end!

Razzle Dazzle is a theatrical production with music, about and related to books of every type. The cast will check out the books and dust off the covers with everything from Shakespeare, Harry Potter, Steven King, and even The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy as they move and get creative to the music from every genre that an audiophile would enjoy.

Ed Gallagher, Director of Education and Creative Arts Therapies, states, "Razzle Dazzle is always a much-anticipated event each year at Beck Center. This is a wonderful collaboration. Cast members of all abilities come together to create an engaging and entertaining show that is complimented by amazing art in the accompanying Razzle Dazzle Art Exhibition."

Show times on Friday April 28 is 7:30 pm, and Saturday April 29, 2023 at 3:30 pm, and 7:30 p.m. Performances will be held in Beck Center's Music & Creative Arts Therapy (MCAT) Building on the Oatey Recital Hall Stage.
