Test Flight is a part of CPT's New Play Development program
The new play development was designed to produce work that is outside the mainstream, offering a much broader range of work available to the Cleveland public and expanding the impact and originality of theatre across the country.
Test Flight is a multi-week series that showcases new work on its way to full production. Test Flight provides both local and national/international artists with the keys to the theatre and the opportunity to co-produce original works-in-progress. The series encourages risk-taking and an entrepreneurial spirit towards creating new work while offering artists a structured support system. Test Flight includes workshop performances of theatre, dance, performance art, and genre-defying performances.
In this partnership, 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 Test Flight dedicate themselves to creating new and original work, or stretching their artistic powers by working in new disciplines.
