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?
Plano
by Will Arbery
directed by Kari Barclay
May 22 - June 13
Will Arbery’s Plano is a fast-paced, provocative comedy set near, but never quite in, Plano, Texas. Its story follows three sisters and the men who occupy all too much of the oxygen-rich atmosphere around them in astroturf-lined suburbia. With flashes of absurdity that ring true, Plano is a darkly funny domestic drama, an exploding tennis ball of ideas, lobbed at America.
Runtime: 90 minutes
I Got Questions
by Josy Jones

This electrifying one-person, theatre performance, featuring Josy Jones, follows a woman as she interrogates her close and intimate friend, a tree. She’s got questions.

She tries to fathom the forces that carry us–love, desire, evolution, technology, and the unseen rules that we bump up against every day.
In this electrifying performance, audiences will witness an intimate conversation between a woman and her close friend—a tree. Through this unconventional dialogue, the protagonist explores profound questions about reconnecting with both the natural world and her inner self, examining the forces that shape human existence: love, desire, evolution, technology, and the invisible rules we encounter daily.
