Cleveland Public Theatre is proud to support and foster the work of area artists in this unique program. Artists are given keys to The James Levin Theatre and the freedom to transform the space for the presentation of their work.
The goal of Big Box is to support new work and local artists.
CPT provides:
- The James Levin Theatre
- Basic production staff, stage management, box office support

The artists provide the rest!
