    Thanks to @clevelanddotcom for this preview of SoftLaunch. It's the second year of this boundary-breaking performance festival, and we can't wait to welcome you into every nook and cranny of our building (ok, not EVERY nook and cranny, but many of them!). SoftLaunch 2026 opens TOMORROW NIGHT, January 15 and closes Saturday, January 17. Purchase a weekend pass to see everything and gain entrance to the Closing Night party on Saturday. Regular Saturday ticketholders can also come to the Closing Night party, but it takes more than one night to see everything SoftLaunch has to offer! ... See MoreSee Less
