    What an incredibly interesting adventure it has been this month creating music (hand percussion and electronic creations) for this unique production at Cleveland Public Theatre. I must say I have thoroughly enjoyed and grown from this experience. A Huge thanks to Raymond Bobgan and his fiercely focused "Core ensemble" for the opportunity to collaborate and perform with very passionate and talented performers. (((You ALL Rock!))). There are 3 performances remaining; Tonight and tomorrow at 8pm and Sunday at 730pm. Come see it if you can! ... See MoreSee Less
