10 Most Memorable Moments in 2019 Cleveland Theater

Cleveland Jewish News, The News Herald, The Morning Journal



When we reflect back on a live theater production, it is often a specific moment that we recall – an instant when a playwright’s idea, a director or designer’s vision, and/or an actor’s performance surpasses an audience’s expectations and something special happens.



Such moments seem frozen in time and suspended in space.  It is these isolated, elusive and brilliant moments that keep theatergoers coming back for more and win over the next generation of patrons.



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



Here are 10 of this past year’s most memorable moments – both fantastic and unfortunate – from productions that have graced Cleveland’s Playhouse Square, Off-the-Square professional theaters, and other area stages.
