CLEVELAND PUBLIC THEATRE ANUNCIA EL IMPLEMENTO DE ESCOGE TU PRECIO

El Director Artístico Ejecutivo de Cleveland Public Theatre (CPT), Raymond Bobgan, tiene el agrado de anunciar que, dentro de un espíritu de Hospitalidad Radical, todos los boletos para cualquiera de las producciones de CPT serán Choose What You Pay (Escoge tu Precio).

De esta forma, CPT ha eliminado el boleto de valor estándar, dando al público la opción de elegir el valor del mismo, al momento de comprar sus boletos.

“CPT cree que el teatro es esencial. La taquilla promedio que el teatro recauda cubre apenas la quinta parte del costo de una producción; de tal forma que si el público tuviera que pagar por ticket el valor real de la producción, éste dejaría de representar lo que para nosotros es más importante:  que el teatro debe estar al alcance de todos. Y nos ponemos este desafío en base a uno de nuestros principios fundamentales, que el arte es de gran valor para todos, y por esa razón, estamos bajando el valor de nuestro trabajo a un alto costo para nosotros.  Confiamos en que nuestro público sabrá elegir lo que es mejor y más apropiado. Asimismo, pensamos que nuestros espectadores son de alguna manera artistas también, y que el buen teatro requiere de un buen público. Ustedes son parte esencial de la experiencia CPT. Espero con ansias el momento de reunirnos nuevamente en el teatro.”—Raymond Bobgan, Director Artístico Ejecutivo, CPT.

CPT implementó su procedimiento Escoge tu Precio hace más de 15 años, considerando que el arte no debe tener barreras, mucho menos barreras económicas. En temporadas anteriores, estos boletos solo se podían adquirir en Boletería antes de cada función. A partir de esta temporada, TODO BOLETO será Choose What You Pay (Escoge tu Precio) para compras de boletos en internet, por teléfono o en Boletería, y pueden ser adquiridos en cualquier momento.


COMPRANDO BOLETOS

Cleveland Public Theatre Announces an Update to 2021/2022 Season

Cleveland Public Theatre (CPT)’s Executive Artistic Director Raymond Bobgan announces an update to CPT’s 2021/2022 Season.

On September 30, Actors’ Equity Association (AEA) announced new rehearsal and production guidelines. To give the play and the artists the best chance for success, CPT is moving Breakout Session (or Frogorse) into the winter slot, March/April, and How the Baby Died, by Tori Keenan-Zelt, will be rescheduled for the 2022/2023 Season. Though we are sad to postpone How the Baby Died yet another year, we are thrilled at the opportunity to promote the playwright and her work, and to support the launch of How the Baby Died into the national field.

CPT is committed to the play Breakout Session (or Frogorse) and playwright Nikkole Salter, and the actors and artists involved, and therefore made the difficult decision to postpone the production. CPT strives to create great art, and simultaneously values the humans creating the art. Through an honest and clear assessment of capacity, especially human capacity, CPT determined that given the timeframe of the AEA announcement and the start of rehearsals, CPT cannot reasonably uphold our values of integrity, artistic excellence, and humanity, and move forward with the scheduled performance dates. CPT is devoted to giving this production its best chance for success, and also to create great art and great working culture.
