    THE GALLERY SERIES Clayton the Dork a new work by Daniel McCoy GET TICKETS Testing the boundaries of solo performance and new artistic territory, early, never-before-seen experimental work finds a home in front of an audiences for the first time, THE GALLERY SERIES champions the unique potential of the individual performer and challenges artists to craft ambitious explorations of the specific and intimate relationship between solo performers and spectators. Artists with highly experimental, combustible, pliable works receive up to 25 hours of rehearsal and two nights of performances in our intimate Gallery, for audiences of no more than 20 people as a catalyst for future development Theaterlab invites you to join Daniel McCoy as he develops his new work, Clayton the Dork. Clayton James is a fourteen-year-old high school freshman with few friends. He’s an avid trumpeter and online gamer who digs a Friday night watching TV with Mom. In other words, Clayton’s a real dork. One day, out of the blue, Clayton’s invisibility spell is broken and he goes from zero to hero in the blink of an eye. Beginning in the midst of the 2024 election season, then moving back in time to spring of 2020, Clayton is shaped by pandemic isolation, political division, and the ever-present threat of gun violence. Clayton the Dork is a solo show with a cast the size of the audience, and the story of 2020s America told through the eyes of one ordinary boy. photo by Jody Christopherson @redheadjody
