Cross the threshold to Cleveland's up-close, and OUT there theatre.
Cross The Threshold
What if theatre weren't a mirror reflecting the familiar, but an opening into unknown territory? What if there were no fourth wall?
What if, instead of going to the theatre to watch a play, you crossed the threshold into the world of the play to experience it?
Theatre that expands the imagination and extends the conventional boundaries of language, structure, space, and performance that challenges the conventional notions of what theatre is.
What sort of theatre would this be?
we are continuous
by Harrison David Rivers
August 15th - 31st,
directed by Jeannine Gaskin & Lauren Lash
The son. The mother. The husband. Can they ever really know each other—or will there always be a chasm between them? When a crisis forces a gay Black man, his white lover, and his estranged mother to come together in face of the devout patriarch and insidious ideology that threatens to tear them apart, will the delicate foundations of their relationships begin to show cracks? Or will their personal bonds strengthen in the face of adversity? This uncompromising, intelligent, and lyrical play is a frank and profound exploration of family, self-discovery, and acceptance.

Scott Fitzgerald’s “The Beautiful and Damned,” adapted by Abbey Marshall, follows 25-year-old Anthony Patch, the unambitious and braggadocious presumptive heir to his wealthy grandfather’s fortune. He and his wife, Gloria, enjoy the spoils of youth and beauty in American cafe society during World War I, until their reckless pursuit of happiness ultimately ruins them.
