Cleveland Public Theatre announces two interconnected opportunities for performance creators: SoftLaunch and The PILOT Project.

SoftLaunch

SoftLaunch is a new performance festival that seeks bold experimentation, innovation, and complete reinvention of what theatre can be. (Think installation art, immersive performance, shows for one or two people, and way beyond all that—we don’t know what all this can be!)
