cleveland PUBLIC theatre presents Haunted<https://www.cptonline.org/performances/seasons/2025-2026/haunted/> By Tara Moses March 5 - March 22, 2026 "At a time when spotlighting diverse stories is critical, we are grateful to Cleveland Public Theatre (CPT) for bringing “Haunted” to Northeast Ohio. We look forward to seeing this beautiful representation of universal Indigenous values—such as reciprocity and spiritual connections to the homelands and waters of our ancestors on stage." — Nancy Kelsey (Anishinaabe), a member of the Lake Erie Native American Council and CPT boards Synopsis Ash and Aaron have been dead for twenty years, and the Indigenous siblings pass their time dancing to Britney Spears, 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 coolest 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. Although, the production will be accented with snippets of iconic Y2K pop, original music and sound are designed by Geoffrey Short<https://www.geoffreybshort.com/>, CPT’s new Kulas Theatre Composer Fellow<https://www.cptonline.org/artist-opportunities/fellowships/>. featuring: Rachel Gold, Rob Grant III, Trevor McChristian*, Lionel Morales, Jonathon Morgan, Hillary Wheelock *Actor appears courtesy of Actors' Equity Association, the Union of Professional Actors and Stage Managers in the United States.
