    Pandemonium 2025: To the Moon was a night to remember. We immersed ourselves in art, imbibed local libations, and danced to music under a near-full moon. Our 2025-2026 season, Luminous, begins in just a few weeks with "Hallowed Owls," but for now, we just want to say... Thank you for celebrating with us.And SAVE THE DATE for Pandemonium 2026: September 12!!!📸: Emanuel Wallace ... See MoreSee Less

We're grateful for her leadership in fundraising and envisioning the future of CPT, including our $12 million capital campaign to revitalize our Gordon Square campus.Here's Melissa in her own words from the article (linked in our bio):“If you had asked me during undergrad what my dream job would be, I would have said to work at a small-to-midsized arts organization, ideally, a theater, doing interesting work and with really strong connections in the community, which is exactly what I got.”📸: Jason Miller of Cleveland Headshots ...
