Theatre Thursday: The Art of Connection
Thursday, February 18 | 7:00 PM EST
On Demand Saturday, February 20 - Sunday, February 21
A Live Interactive Virtual Program from Cleveland Play House
Focusing on CPH’s core values of Artistry, Community and Life-Long Learning.
Make a match this February at Theatre Thursday! We’ve paired four of our favorite playwrights with a specific Cleveland artwork, asking each to write a brand-new short play inspired by the piece. But like with any juicy romance, we’re adding a dash of intrigue — and keeping our matches a mystery! Audience members will work together to read the plays and uncover the creative couplings. Get ready for a fun, unique night that explores the love affair between theatre and visual art.
To play along, be sure to print out or read the scripts before the show begins. Scripts will be sent with your Cleveland Play House Order Receipt once your registration has been placed.
No printer? No problem! You can view the scripts by pulling them up on your screen during the event. We’ll let you know when!
Hosted by Laura Kepley
