A season of premiere performance and original work

"Cleveland Public Theatre is the place for new, adventurous and
politically relevant works of performance. We offer works that no one
else in Cleveland will in a way that no one else can," says Bobgan.  The
07-08 Season includes 5 Ohio premieres, CPT's original creation The
Confessions of Punch and Judy, a Nobel Prize Winning Playwright who has
never been produced in Cleveland, a new performance series, a play
reading series, DanceWorks and much more.=20

CPT's philosophy, that the arts can literally change the world, is
actualized through strategic programming and investing resources in
artists and communities that have traditionally been underserved.  The
mission of CPT is to raise consciousness and nurture compassion through
ground breaking performances and life changing educational programs.=20

The Confessions of Punch and Judy

by Raymond Bobgan, Tannis Kowalchuk and Ker Wells

Directed by Raymond Bobgan

Gordon Square Theatre

February 14 - February 23

=20

Just in time for Valentine's Day, CPT brings back the critically
acclaimed The Confessions of Punch and Judy.  Don't miss this wild
all-night argument that captures the anarchic spirit of the classic
Punch and Judy puppet show. Slapstick, stylish, viciously honest, and
full of surprises, the show is performed by virtuoso performers Tannis
Kowalchuk and Ker Wells, who leap between realism and surrealism,
exposing the horror and beauty of a relationship. The Confessions of
Punch and Judy had its World Premiere at CPT in 2005 to rave reviews and
has since been performed off-Broadway, throughout the United States,
Canada, Serbia and the UK.  Original Work

=20

Living Tall=20
by Mike Geither
Directed by Karen Randoja
James Levin Theatre
February 28 - March 1

=20

An audience favorite and a sell-out from last year's Big [BOX] series,
CPT presents this new play by a local playwright for a one week limited
engagement. In Living Tall, a businessman attempts to give a lively
workshop on increasing sales, but he can't seem to stay on message.
Living Tall is a wondrous performance that reveals the hollowness of the
marketplace and the resiliency on the spirit. Featuring the versatile
and talented Ker Wells, Living Tall had its World Premiere at CPT in
2007. =20

In the Continuum

by Danai Gurira and Nikkole Salter

Directed by Tony Sias

Gordon Square Theatre

April 3 - April 26

=20

The powerful In the Continuum explores the devastating problem of AIDS
among African and African-American women - a timely topic and an often
underexposed topic. Living worlds apart in South Central, LA and
Zimbabwe, two young women experience a bizarre weekend of darkly comic,
life altering revelations. With two actors playing dozens of roles, In
the Continuum promises to engage audiences in its story of parallel
denials and self-discoveries. Ohio Premiere

=20

Between Life and Death=20
The Other Shore
Two plays by Gao Xingjian
Directed by Michael Mauldin and Holly Holsinger
Gordon Square Theatre
May 22 - June 14

Gao Xingjian is the 2000 winner of the Nobel Prize for literature. Born
in China, he now lives in exile in France. His plays are virtually
un-produced in the United States due to their adventurous style and
non-narrative structure. CPT presents two of his works, Between Life and
Death and The Other Shore, in collaboration with the Cleveland State
University Department of Theatre.  CPT will conduct a series of public
outreach projects related to these plays focusing on the Asian American
community. Ohio Premiere

=20

I Fall to Pieces=20
by Raymond Bobgan and Chris Seibert
James Levin Theatre
June 5 - June 8

A workshop production.  Merging intense physical theatre, a cappella
singing, electronic music, live video mixing, complex interaction with
pre-recorded video, and a highly visual installation-style set, I Fall
to Pieces tells an archetypal tale of intrigue. This original CPT
production features Chris Seibert. Original Work
