A Message to our dedicated Ensemble theatergoers:
WE HAVEN’T FORGOTTEN ABOUT YOU! (and we hope you haven’t forgotten about us) Since Notre Dame College -and our Ensemble home there- closed its doors, Ensemble has been hard at work both finding a new home and developing the 2024-25 theater season.
The good news is that we have identified positive community partner/venues both in Cleveland Heights and University Heights. We hope to name those partners and announce the contents of the 2024-25 Ensemble season
by the end of August.
What we can tell you now is that The Ensemble season will include:
The 4th Episode of our In Our Own Words Series Co-Produced with SumMedia Productions
This a pair of short plays dedicated to sharing the black experience with Cleveland audiences. This years episode will revisit our first years plays that were done virtually, that will now be done in person! With two amazing playwrights both nationally known and locally grown! POOF! By Lynn Nottage & THE BOMB by Lisa Langford! Late October/Early November 2024!Two other main-stage productions that are slated for early 2025 and then in the spring of 2025!
Dates and Titles To Be Announced at the end of August!A return of the 2025 Colombi New Plays Festival in March/April of 2025 featuring the work of local playwrights and artists!
”One-Off” Events that Ensemble will be planning through out the year that will include some educational tours, poetry slams, performing arts, and a possible showing of a short film that Ensemble will work on as a coproducer!
We will share membership and ticketing information shortly as well!
So please know WE HAVEN’T FORGOTTEN ABOUT YOU and we don’t want YOU TO FORGET ABOUT US!
So stay tuned for a excitingly new and unique season as we transition to a new home!
With continued gratitude,
Celeste Cosentino, Executive Artistic Director
