For the eleventh year in a row, CPT's season centerpiece, Big Box, provides local artists with the opportunity to create and produce new work. Over eight weeks, Big Box includes more than ten world premiere workshop showings of theatre, dance, opera, and genre-defying performances. Cleveland Public Theatre is proud to support and foster the work of area artists in this unique program. Artists are given keys to The James Levin Theatre and the freedom to transform the space for the presentation of their work. Research and Development.
The goal of Big Box is to support new work and local artists. CPT provides:
– The James Levin Theatre
– Basic production staff, stage management, box office support
– Marketing and advertising support
The artists provide the rest! The writers, directors, actors, and designers selected for Big Box dedicate themselves to creating new and original work, or stretching their artistic powers by working in new disciplines.
