The Naughty and The Nice for the Holidays!

In its second week of alternative holiday programming, CPT presents the naughty, modern and inclusive burlesque of Cleveland Burlesque and the return of Tease the Season: A Burlesque Holiday Spectacular. Wrapping up the holiday season next week is the premiere of a family-friendly Kwanzaa celebration by the crowd-pleasing Djapo Cultural Arts Institute called The Light of Kinara. With the popularity of both groups, ticket sales are going quickly, so don’t delay!

The Light of the Kinara: A Kwanzaa Celebration

By Djapo Cultural Arts Institute

December 19 – December 22, 2024

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, retail vendors, music and dance. Family-friendly!
