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

Tickets are on sale now for the first full production of our 2025 - 2026 season, "The End of Black Excellence"!In this multimedia solo play from globally recognized spoken word artist, Emmy-winning journalist, and filmmaker Chris Webb, we meet a man who just may be the first Black person born without “Black excellence.” In his attempt to prove this theory wrong, he puts on an (ever-failing) solo show to prove his worth, value, and connection with the elusive excellence that he craves."The End of Black Excellence" runs October 23 - November 8, and Jimmie Woody ("Showin' Up Black") directs. Chris performed the first 15 minutes of this show at SoftLaunch to standing ovations, and tickets are already selling fast. Head to cptonline.org or the 🔗 in our bio to grab yours now! ...
