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 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.

Visited the Maltz Performing Arts Center for a Candlelight concert, A Tribute to Adele. This was my…read morefirst time at this venue since I was a kid. It's a perfectly intimate performing arts center. The stage is a good size and I could imagine a plethora of different events being held here. I was seated close to the front, however, I imagine most people felt like they were close to the stage. I don't think there's much here besides the main hall and bathrooms. I know they don't do any food or anything. Nevertheless, it's a great location for an intimate music or performance experience.

Was so happy to get a chance to see the performance of As You Like It at the Van Aken Market…read moreDistrict by the Cleveland Shakespeare Festival. 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.

The concerts are at the beautiful Severance Hall as well as at Blossom in the summer. Although many people attend for the holiday concerts, summer series, and other modern performances, it is a real treat to go to the more classical programming as they often have other world class musicians performing with them, and it is a one of a kind experience to see in the beautiful Severance Hall. Additionally, they have significant discounted student tickets as well as a network, The Circle, that gives 20% off the regular tickets as well as in the gift shop. They also send a beautiful magazine once you join The Circle of upcoming performances. Could not recommend it more.
