CPT is embarking on a $12 million capital project to improve, expand and renovate its campus in the Gordon Square Arts District. A matching grant from the Jack, Joseph and Morton Mandel Supporting Foundation for $4 million will support the capital campaign. Through this campaign, CPT continues its work to center artists, celebrate diverse communities, and embrace audiences and students throughout Northeast Ohio.“Cleveland Public Theatre represents the impactful integration of both neighborhood engagement and the humanities—two key areas of focus for the Mandel Foundation,” said Dr. Jehuda Reinharz, President and CEO of the Jack, Joseph and Morton Mandel Foundation. “The Foundation’s support of CPT is not only an investment in its groundbreaking work, but also an investment in the Gordon Square Arts District as a hub of creativity and community in Cleveland.” The $4 million gift from the Mandel Foundation, along with a $2 million capital bequest from the Joan Yellen Horvitz Trust and $500,000 from the State of Ohio capital budget brings CPT to over half of its total capital campaign goal.“This is an important time for CPT and our community,” said Raymond Bobgan, Executive Artistic Director, Cleveland Public Theatre. "We have followed a different path than most theatres and that work, over decades, is needed now more than ever. CPT leads the region in developing new plays and producing world premieres, a majority of which are by artists who are Black, Latine, Arab, and other people of color. Through our education programs and our work on stage we are developing and nurturing deep connections throughout Cleveland’s diverse communities.”CPT anticipates breaking ground on the first phase of construction by the end of 2025.
