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?

When freshman acting major Hailey unexpectedly scores the coveted role of Lady Macbeth, her upperclassmen rivals immediately invite her over to “celebrate.” As the Fireball and Svedka flow, the young women interrogate their own ambitions as well as the power structures that have shaped their education—and when the night spirals into violent and shocking acts of betrayal, they come to learn that what’s done cannot be undone.

General Knowledge

August 20 -22nd
Trivia captain Lorelei, her girlfriend Delia Dahlia, her sister Tuesday, and their friend Aster are living four to an apartment, anxiously anticipating the regional finals their team has been invited to compete in. With five thousand dollars on the line, plus ten thousand more if they advance and win the national competition, the team is practicing hard. But when Tuesday unexpectedly invites her boyfriend to move in- the night before the competition, no less- the disruption brings old tension and big secrets to a boiling point. General Knowledge is queer, messy, dark, and full of both laughter and drama.
