Leftover Stories to Tell A Tribute to Spalding Gray at P.S. 122

Leftover Stories to Tell: A tribute to Spalding Gray, created by Kathleen Russo (Spalding's Widow) and Lucy Sexton from a selection of Spalding Gray's published and unpublished writings, at P. S. 122 from the 31 May - 4 Jun 2006.

Leftover Stories to Tell: A tribute to Spalding Gray is a bicoastal co-production at the center of a series of events celebrating the life and writing of Spalding Gray timed to coincide with what would have been his 65th birthday

When Spalding Gray succumbed to depression and took his life in the winter of 2004, he left behind a loving family, a legion of devoted fans and an enormous body of work. Leftover Stories to Tell charts a uniquely personal journey through Spalding�s inimitable perspective and voice, featuring excerpts from his hilarious monologues juxtaposed with journal entries, poems, and other unpublished � and previously unperformed � writing.

Vallejo Gantner, Artistic Director of P.S. 122. said, �It is only fitting that Performance Space 122 is co-presenting Leftover Stories to Tell and his eponymous award; Spalding long considered P.S. 122 a creative home-base, and it is still home to his signature desk.�

Spalding developed and created 'Morning, Noon and Night', 'Gray on Gray', and 'Interviewing the Audience' at P.S. 122, where he was working on 'Life Interrupted' at the time of his death.

Directed by Kathleen Russo and Lucy Sexton, Leftover Stories to Tell features James Urbaniak, Bob Holman, Ain Gordon, Jonathan Ames, Hazelle Goodman.
