“ALTER explores the difficulties of being a quiet person in a loud world, toxic self-help culture, and the myth that you must always be leveling up to be successful.” ―Tania Benites, playwright

Cleveland Public Theatre and Teatro Público de Cleveland present the highly anticipated World Premiere of Alter by Tania Benites. Alter is a horror/thriller-flavored dramedy which performed to sold-out houses when it was presented in CPT’s Test Flight 2023, an annual developmental program for writers of all levels.

About the Play
Using a self-help book titled “Hypnosis for Self Confidence,” customer service representative Maria seeks ultimate self-improvement to succeed in the corporate world. However, she soon discovers that the best version of herself may be her worst enemy.

Featuring: Alisha Caraballo, Mónica A. Cerpa Zúñiga, Sylka Edmonson, Andrea de la Fuente, Lionel Morales, Rajah Morales, David L. Munnell
