Pandemonium 2025 took us TO THE MOON. Now we need your help getting down. Literally.When CPT’s only elevator broke two weeks before Pandemonium, our staff sprang into action to ensure the biggest party of our year went off without a hitch. Our challenge now is getting the elevator up and running by October 23, when we welcome audiences back into our James Levin Theatre for "The End of Black Excellence." We hope that you, our CPT family, will help us raise $10,000 of the over $30,000 needed for these repairs. This timeframe will incur additional expenses above and beyond the repair, but we're committed to keeping theatre accessible. We know you prioritize accessibility too, which is why we invite you to partner with us in showing art is essential for everyone.Please consider donating to CPT today at cptonline.org/donate and the link in our bio. Thank you for supporting us through all the ups and downs. ... See MoreSee Less
