March 5 - March 22, 2026

Join us this week for the Northeast Ohio debut of Haunted, a National New Play Network Rolling World Premiere<https://nnpn.org/rolling-world-premiere>. Opening weekend festivities include an Indigenous Market featuring beautiful handmade beadwork, accessories and more, and a special talkback with playwright Tara Moses and Cynthia Connolly of The City Club.

Play Synopsis
Ash and Aaron have been dead for twenty years, and the Indigenous siblings pass their time dancing to Britney Spears and Destiny’s Child while haunting the families that try to move into their house; and wondering if they’ll ever be free from the shackles of racist stereotypes. As the cycle begins once more, the siblings ask: will they ever make it to the Spirit World? An Indigenous horror comedy with the sickest Y2K hits, Tara Moses’ Haunted forces us to confront the very land we walk on and our relationship (or lack thereof) with Native communities today.
