Cleveland Public Theatre to Present RED ASH MOSAIC Public Workshop

Cleveland Public Theatre (CPT) announces a public work-in-progress sharing of RED ASH MOSAIC (formerly Blue Sand Dreaming) a new work by CPT Executive Artistic Director Raymond Bobgan and his ensemble. The workshop production of RED ASH MOSAIC (a workshop production) will take place 4 nights only in CPT's historic Gordon Square Theatre, located at 6415 Detroit Avenue, Cleveland OH 44102.

Throughout the 2015-2016 season, CPT has expanded the way in which it invites audience into the process of developing new work, including extended preview periods and public workshops of shows-in-process. The workshop production of RED ASH MOSAIC offers audiences an opportunity to play a part in the critical research and development stage of a new work.

To support the development and production of RED ASH MOSAIC (a workshop production), CPT received a $30,000 grant from the National Endowment for the Arts - the largest NEA production grant in CPT's history. These funds will go toward the 2016 work-in-progress showing of the piece, as well as the full production at CPT slated for the spring of 2017.

About the Workshop Production of Red Ash Mosaic

RED ASH MOSAIC is an experiment in theatrical form, with interwoven and contradictory narrative threads, powerful physical action, chanting and poetic texts - designed not to show, but to invoke; not a presentation, but a transmission. Beginning in the daily doldrums of a video game store, RED ASH MOSAIC erupts into a fracturing of quotidian realities and parallel lives before launching into an otherworldly land of dreams, spirits and the awakening of one man as he confronts his own death.
