Test Flight
Jan 29 - Feb 14 | This multi-week series showcases new work on its way to full production. CPT encourages local and national artists to take risks and develop an entrepreneurial spirit toward creating as they co-produce original works-in-progress.
For Cleveland Public Theatre to continue its existing work, as well as expand and deepen its impact, CPT’s $12M capital campaign will support improvements to its Gordon Square Theatre lobby, classroom, Church and Parish Hall, and building exterior. Learn how this exciting project will increase the number of individuals the organization serves, expand artistic offerings, and create accessible spaces that celebrate its diverse stakeholders.
