cleveland PUBLIC theatre presents CPT at the Holidays is like no other in the city-we've got a burlesque show by Cleveland's Burlesque Queen "Bella Sin" that sells out each year back for a third; and we conclude our holiday season with the bang of African drums with a 2nd year of a Kwanzaa celebration (that also sold-out last year) by Djapo Cultural Arts Institute. Tease the Season: A Burlesque Holiday Spectacular (Part Trois)<https://www.cptonline.org/performances/seasons/2025-2026/tease-the-season-c…> Conceived and produced by Cleveland Burlesque<https://www.clevelandburlesque.com/> December 11 - December 13, 2025 After a sold-out run last year, "Cleveland Burlesque Queen" Bella Sin and friends are back for a second adults-only evening of new burlesque, drag, aerials, live singers, and... more burlesque. This show is for 18+ only! The 10pm show on Sat., Dec. 13 will be extra special! The Light of the Kinara: In the Spirit of Kwanzaa By Djapo Cultural Arts Institute<https://www.djapo.com/copy-of-mission> December 19 - December 21, 2025 This vibrant performance guides viewers from an invocation of unity to a final reflection on faith. It is more than a celebration of Kwanzaa-it is a powerful reminder of the enduring light within us all, a light that shines brightest when we come together as a community, honoring our heritage and illuminating a future grounded in shared values. The celebration features spoken word, music and dance. Each night has a different theme and ancillary event with some days offering receptions. There is a pre-show vendor market spotlighting Black vendors every night! To purchase tickets, go to www.cptonline.org or contact the Box Office at 216.631.2727 ext. 501.
