Dia de Muertos in its 22nd year at CPT, the return of Chris Webb’s masterpiece The End of Black Excellence, and a new piece in partnership with the Educational & Cultural Ukrainian American League (ECUAL) called Train: Ukrzaliznytsia (English and Ukrainian words for “Train”).
We can’t wait for you to check out our newly renovated Gordon Square Theatre and Joan Yellen Horvitz Performance Gallery (the former church). Also, patrons will be able to access the James Levin Theatre through the main box office lobby outside of the Gordon Square Theatre.
“Cleveland Public Theatre’s 2026–2027 season celebrates what is rising, opening, and becoming visible. As our campus transforms, so does the work we make and the ways we gather. There’s much more to come.”—Raymond Bobgan, Executive Artistic Director & CEO
