    Dear friend of Cleveland Public Theatre,The holidays mean giving season at CPT, and your investment—as an audience member, supporter, and collaborator—is an investment in innovative storytelling. Cleveland Public Theatre is a driving member of National New Play Network, a collaborative alliance of professional theatres revolutionizing the landscape of new plays. CPT is a trusted home for new works, having launched many groundbreaking performances that have received continued productions and acclaim. Here are just a few of the extraordinary productions that have graced our stage:"Akarui"—a haunting take on transformation and love set in a rave at the end of the world—by Jen Silverman, recipient of a Yale Drama Series Award, plus National Endowment for the Arts and Guggenheim Fellowships.Lauren Yee's "in a word," which follows a grief-stricken mother as she sorts through her memories. Samuel French published "in a word" in 2015, and the play has been staged in California, Florida, Illinois, New York, Virginia, Texas, and London, England. Yee also won the Francesca Primus Prize and the Will Glickman Playwright Award for "in a word."India Nicole Burton's "Panther Women: An Army for the Liberation," a piece that utilizes movement, monologue, and music to tell the story of one woman’s journey to self-discovery through exploring three prominent female members of the Black Panther Party and Black Liberation Movement. "Panther Women" has traveled to Bloomington, IL and Chicago, where it was nominated for a Jeff Award (think Chicago's Tonys).Your gift to Cleveland Public Theatre empowers storytellers whose works are transforming minds—and lives—in our community and beyond. It is through your generosity that we continue to raise consciousness and nurture compassion through theatre, and we are grateful for your partnership.
