    New Ground Theatre Festival

    Roe Green, Honorary Producer bio

    Every year, Cleveland Play House celebrates the art of playwriting by inviting actors, directors, and dramaturgs to workshop new plays, offer insights to the visiting playwrights, and inspire the next phase of the scripts’ development. The most exciting part of this festival is hearing an audience respond to a new play being read aloud for the first time — with laughter, tears, gasps, and applause.

    Murder Play

    Murder Play

    (or, The Aristocrats!)

    May 17, 2025

    Hit Off-Broadway ensemble The Aristocrats has gathered in the Catskills to workshop a new adaptation of Uncle Vanya (yes, another new adaptation of Uncle Vanya), directed by their charismatic and toxic artistic director, Don Templeton. But just after the troupe is snowed in, a sudden death occurs… and old (and new) grudges are revealed. Now, the ensemble must figure out which of them is a killer before they strike again. From Kate Hamill, comes a farcical new murder mystery and dark comedy that is a celebration and exploration of what’s best (and worst) in both contemporary theatre culture and human nature.
