Located on Lee and actually seems to share a building with the public library. Got student tickets to Land of Oz for a show on a Friday. I bought them in person and the lady at the counter was super helpful and let me know about affordable ways to see a show like the "pay what you can" prices an hour before the show- which I definitely recommend for any weekday showings. You can also volunteer as an usher and see the show for free. Basically all seats offer a really good view because it is a smaller theater. But wow!!!! So much talent in one show. The actors were all amazing singers and dancers. It was pretty hilarious too. Very cool and creative set and costume design. My expectations were not the highest- I was a little unsure of seeing a show in a cleveland suburb, but I was absolutely blown away. They also serve reasonably prices drinks at the bar and even had a few special cocktails based on the theme of the show which was cute.

This is a really cute little theater that is a well kept secret, very easily overlooked. I know I…read morehad never heard of it until Yelp's ticket giveaway. It's actually in the same building as the town's library and only has 5 rows, so all seats offer a good view. The play we saw was wonderful, living up to the expectations of an Obie Award winner. Tickets are inexpensive, and the shows only play for about a month each. I think most of those in attendance have been longtime membership holders and go often. It's time that the theater reach other demographics, and I would strongly recommend going based on my experience! Bonus: you get 10% off your bill at the wine bar Taste across the street with a same day ticket, but the discount does not apply to happy hour.

This was our first time at this location and for a candlelight performance. https://case.edu/maltzcenter/ https://feverup.com/en/cleveland/candlelight I'd highly recommend both! The venue is absolutely beautiful! The seats are comfortable, the restrooms clean, the parking convenient. (Please note the parking is $10.00, I handed them ten in cash and they said they only take credit card). The music SUPERB! A great birthday concert for my husband! My only disappointment is that the program was not available throughout the entire show. :( . I suspect the wonderful musicians were listed but sadly, they only mentioned their names. I love that they had a digital QR code for the program, but they really needed to have it loaded and not pointing to the previous candlelight concert !!

This is a really unique venue. I came here to see a famous author speak, and the whole experience…read morewas great. Check in was very easy and finding our seats was simple, which made the event feel really organized. Parking costs money but wasn't too complicated and there was a golf cart type of shuttle which helped since it was raining. The ambiance is beautiful and truly one of a kind. I especially loved that some of the seating is church style pews, which gives the space a really cool historic feel. The sound quality was excellent, and we could hear the speaker clearly from our seats. Overall a really special place to see an event, talk, or performance.

CSF has been putting on free outdoor performances for 26 years at various locations around Cleveland. This year the 2 plays being produced are As You Like It and Measure for Measure. The production of As You Like It is edited to about 1 hour 45 minutes without intermission, and has modern costuming and touches including cell phones and recent songs. The real twist is that a number of the roles have been gender swapped; especially interesting since Shakespeare provides characters that were swapping genders already and all roles were played by men and boys. Overall the production was fun, had nice energy and was just simple and casual enough to make it work with the outdoor setting. The actors were energetic and personable. The leads were especially good and members of the company played multiple roles. Even though they use Shakespeare's words, they manage to make it easy to follow the show and understand what is going on; they are especially good at hitting the jokes and generating crowd interaction. I would recommend giving the Cleveland Shakespeare Festival a visit for a lovely way to spend a Summer evening outdoors soaking in some entertaining theater. The price is right (FREE!) and the performances are a great way to be introduced to Shakespeare or to see one of your favorites. Check out their schedule and stop by when they are near you.
