TRAVEL & PARKING

The Eastbound Shoreway (Rt. 2) will be closed from 7:00pm-10:00pm on September 8, due to a large cycling event. There is also other construction happening on the Shoreway and some exits may be closed. We recommend freeway commuters use I-90.

In general, please plan plenty of time for travel, as we are expecting higher than normal traffic in our neighborhood. As parking space is extremely limited, we encourage you to take advantage of the complimentary valet parking beginning at 6:30pm.

Want to skip the valet line? Thanks to our friends at Lyft, you can ride to Pandemonium at a discounted rate! There will be a drop-off location at the eastern end of our campus on Detroit Ave. Use discount code TEN4CLE for $10 off your first ride (if you’re new to Lyft), or CPTPAN20 for 20% off two rides.

Live on Lakeside: Pandemonium 2018

“It’s hard to put it into words because it’s so amazing and spectacular with all the talent of the artists – I mean, there’s bands, and performance artists, poetry reading, rock climbing, there’s jugglers. I feel like it’s just gotten bigger and bigger over the years and more amazing. They always try to outdo what they did the year before. I can only imagine what this year’s going to bring.”

-Brandon Sitler, Owner of Urban Orchid and Pandemonium Table & Floral Designer

CPT Executive Artistic Director Raymond Bobgan and Urban Orchid Owner Brandon Sitler were on WKYC’s Live on Lakeside to talk about the Party of the Year… Pandemonium 2018: Labyrinth of Desire!

Pandemonium in American Theatre magazine: “How to Stage a Must-Go Gala”

“We don’t call Pandemonium a gala, because it’s not one. We just don’t think of it like that. It is just a great way to show off our artists and our artistry to a wide swath of the community who might not be theatregoers, but who believe in our impact and love a great party.”

-Raymond Bobgan, CPT Executive Artistic Director
