In addition to the six-play subscriber series, “A Christmas Story” (Nov. 29 to Dec. 23) will return during the holiday season.
“CPH’s 2019-20 season is a celebration of people coming together to make a more inclusive, joyous and compassionate world,” said Laura Kepley, CPH artistic director, in a news release. “In the plays, we will see people come together to create, to fight injustice, to honor family, to lift each other up and to blaze trails for future generations. There are also plays that focus on the forces that drive people apart. We look at the dangerous consequences of polarization and isolation that can drive us to dehumanize those on ‘the other side.’
“We invite Northeast Ohio to come together at Cleveland Play House for a thrilling, mind-expanding and emotionally moving season full of comedy, drama, mystery and more!”
