 When we reflect back on a live theatrical production, it is usually a specific moment that we recall – an instant when a playwright’s idea, a director’s vision, or an actor’s performance surpasses an audience’s expectations.

Theatrical missteps and creative miscarriages are similarly memorable and, for the audience if not the performers or production staff, they are just as entertaining.  Awe can be found in work both awesome and awful.



Here are ten of this past year’s most memorable moments – both fantastic and unfortunate – from productions that have graced Cleveland’s stages.
