Was so happy to get a chance to see the performance of As You Like It at the Van Aken Market…read moreDistrict by the Cleveland Shakespeare Festival. CSF has been putting on free outdoor performances for 26 years at various locations around Cleveland. This year the 2 plays being produced are As You Like It and Measure for Measure. The production of As You Like It is edited to about 1 hour 45 minutes without intermission, and has modern costuming and touches including cell phones and recent songs. The real twist is that a number of the roles have been gender swapped; especially interesting since Shakespeare provides characters that were swapping genders already and all roles were played by men and boys. Overall the production was fun, had nice energy and was just simple and casual enough to make it work with the outdoor setting. The actors were energetic and personable. The leads were especially good and members of the company played multiple roles. Even though they use Shakespeare's words, they manage to make it easy to follow the show and understand what is going on; they are especially good at hitting the jokes and generating crowd interaction. I would recommend giving the Cleveland Shakespeare Festival a visit for a lovely way to spend a Summer evening outdoors soaking in some entertaining theater. The price is right (FREE!) and the performances are a great way to be introduced to Shakespeare or to see one of your favorites. Check out their schedule and stop by when they are near you.

Every time I go the sets are different…read moreshowing that the people running the theatre know how to utilize an intimate space effectively for each production. The theatre used to be a garage but you can't tell because it's so well maintained. The productions put on are newer and often reflect more progressive ideology which is awesome because I don't feel like they are catering towards money. It's nice to see people of all theatrical backgrounds in these shows. Most of the actors are cleveland based. Make sure to bring a jacket because the theatre can be a little breezy and do carry cash for the little snacks they offer up at the front. Also they are a Non profit and you can make donations which are tax deductible

This is a small theater that tries to showcase local play writes as much as possible. Most of their plays are controversial, but have deep story lines that are very emotional. The actors are phenomenal at drawing those emotions out of you and really making your heart feel the stories. Make sure you read the plot of what you are going to see before you go so as not to be too surprised.

It was a nice friendly group of local performers doing a number of improv games and then a couple of longer form pieces. Coffee Phix is a relaxed space with a neighborhood feel. The performance takes place in the front of storefront. The performers are a bunch of people of various ages and levels of improv who really seem to be enjoying themselves. For those who know improv games, the night I was there they did Challenge, Change, Song and a couple of others. Some of the bits well quite funny, others were a little rough, but all of the performers brought quite a bit of energy and enthusiasm. They did offer to let me join if I wanted, so I will probably go back and give it a try. There were only a couple of people watching and this is an event that would be helped by having more people show up to either watch or participate. If you are a comedy or improv fan here is a chance to see local people who are practicing their craft. Give it a try, after all its free plus you can enjoy yourself and encourage the local improv scene. You can get more information at https://www.facebook.com/ClevelandImprovJam/

Highly recommend give it a look at and enjoy the owners hard work.

The owner is there all the time and checks in often to make sure everything is going well. There is a nice area for kids to do homework and moms to hang out while waiting. Price wise, I don't think they're the cheapest nor the most expensive. They did let us go buy her dance "gear" somewhere else aka target, which saved some money since some studios make you buy directly from them. They offer a variety of classes at lots of times, which is great for a working mom with a busy schedule.
