The cast features Tony Award winner Mercedes Ruehl (The Goat, Lost in Yonkers), Tony nominee Kathleen Chalfant (Angels in America, W;t), Hazelle Goodman (The Vagina Monologues), author Michael Cunningham ("The Hours") and playwright Ain Gordon (A Disaster Begins).
Spalding Gray: Stories Left To Tell, a collection of Gray's well-known and unpublished work, was conceived by Gray's widow Kathleen Russo and Lucy Sexton. According to press notes, in Spalding Gray: Stories Left To Tell "each actor speaks directly to the audience, as Spalding himself would have done, focusing on a different aspect of his life, including adventure, love, career, family, and even includes writings from private journal entries. In addition to the selections from his diary as well as excerpts from other pieces of Gray’s unpublished works, Stories Left to Tell also includes bits and pieces from some of the shows that made him a household name—Swimming to Cambodia, Monster in a Box and Life Interrupted to name but a few."
Spalding Gray won an Obie Award for Swimming to Cambodia and filmed the monologue with director Jonathan Demme. Other works include Morning, Noon and Night; Monster in a Box; Gray's Anatomy; and It's a Slippery Slope. He performed on Broadway in Our Town and Gore Vidal's The Best Man. After a series of bouts with depression, Gray took his own life in 2004 by jumping from the Staten Island Ferry into the waters of New York Harbor.
