SUMMARY:Imagine Productions presents Cry-Baby The Musical
DESCRIPTION:Join Imagine Productions at the Columbus Performing Arts Center (Van Fleet Theater) from May 2-11\, 2025 for this jumping\, jiving Tony nominee is a rebellious teen comedy event! Based on the cult classic\, 1990 John Waters film\, Cry-Baby features a delightfully demented book from the writers of Hairspray and a rockabilly score from the co-founder of Fountains of Wayne and the executive producer of “The Daily Show.” \nIt’s 1954. Everyone likes Ike\, nobody likes communism and Wade “Cry-Baby” Walker is the coolest boy in Baltimore. He’s a bad boy with a good cause – truth\, justice and the pursuit of rock and roll. Cry-Baby and the square rich girl\, Allison\, are star-crossed lovers at the center of this world. Fueled by hormones and the new rhythms of rock and roll\, she turns her back on her squeaky clean boyfriend\, Baldwin\, to become a “drape” (a Baltimore juvenile delinquent) and Cry-Baby’s moll. At the other end of the topsy-turvy moral meritocracy of 1954 America\, Baldwin is the king of the squares and leads his close-harmony pals against the juvenile delinquents\, who are ultimately arrested for arson\, sending the drapes all off to prison. It’s Romeo and Juliet meets High School Hellcats. \nTwo weekends only! For more information and tickets please go to www.imaginecolumbus.org

SUMMARY:Vessels in Red
DESCRIPTION:Vessels in Red is a multisensory exhibition exploring the body as a portal for emotional transformation. Expanding on Vessels in Blue\, it merges visual art\, dance\, and spoken word into an immersive experience where the gallery becomes a living laboratory of collaborative artmaking. \nArtists and curators\, Miriam King\, Ashley Martin\, and Christina Navarro use monochromatic red works to examine how our bodies process love\, shame\, guilt\, anger\, and grief. The exhibition engages multiple senses: sight through artwork and lighting; touch through varied fabrics; sound through spoken word\, music\, and installations; and smell through rich\, primal scents and performances on opening night. \nBy dissolving the boundary between artist and audience\, Vessels in Red challenges traditional art consumption\, fostering a space for self-liberation\, inspired by Audre Lorde’s words: “When I dare to be powerful—to use my strength in the service of my vision—then it becomes less and less important whether I am afraid.” \nCurated and created by Christina Navarro (visual and performance artist\, writer)\, Miriam King (transformative practitioner exploring movement and emotional transmutation)\, and Ashley Martin (visual artist\, community builder\, storyteller)\, this exhibition invites viewers to see their own emotions reflected\, making Vessels in Red as much about the audience’s journey as the artistic vision that brought these vessels of transformation into being. \nExhibition Run: Tuesday\, May 13 – Saturday\, June 7 \nOpening Reception: Friday\, May 16\, 6–8 PM \nClosing Panel: Saturday\, June 7\, Time TBD
