Presents

HALLOWED OWLS

…because everything begins and ends in winter

October 2 through October 12, 2025

Cleveland Public Theatre (CPT) presents Hallowed Owls, an interactive installation activated through intermingling of storytelling, poetry, instrumentals, voice and dance. The piece seeks to transport guests to the mysterious world of owls and the mythologies we create.

The piece was devised by local artist Robin VanLear who first hatched and nurtured the idea in Cleveland Public Theatre’s inaugural performance/art festival SoftLaunch earlier this year. Aside from being a multi-media artist, VanLear was the deviser of University Circle, Inc.’s Parade the Circle which has become one of Greater Cleveland’s most anticipated events. Last year, VanLear was also one of four artists to receive the highly competitive Premiere Fellowship given through CPT with funding from Cuyahoga Arts & Culture in partnership with Assembly for the Arts.
