Located on Lee and actually seems to share a building with the public library. Got student tickets to Land of Oz for a show on a Friday. I bought them in person and the lady at the counter was super helpful and let me know about affordable ways to see a show like the "pay what you can" prices an hour before the show- which I definitely recommend for any weekday showings. You can also volunteer as an usher and see the show for free. Basically all seats offer a really good view because it is a smaller theater. But wow!!!! So much talent in one show. The actors were all amazing singers and dancers. It was pretty hilarious too. Very cool and creative set and costume design. My expectations were not the highest- I was a little unsure of seeing a show in a cleveland suburb, but I was absolutely blown away. They also serve reasonably prices drinks at the bar and even had a few special cocktails based on the theme of the show which was cute.

This is a really cute little theater that is a well kept secret, very easily overlooked. I know I…read morehad never heard of it until Yelp's ticket giveaway. It's actually in the same building as the town's library and only has 5 rows, so all seats offer a good view. The play we saw was wonderful, living up to the expectations of an Obie Award winner. Tickets are inexpensive, and the shows only play for about a month each. I think most of those in attendance have been longtime membership holders and go often. It's time that the theater reach other demographics, and I would strongly recommend going based on my experience! Bonus: you get 10% off your bill at the wine bar Taste across the street with a same day ticket, but the discount does not apply to happy hour.

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.
