The 2024-2025 Season
The Cherry Orchard by Anton Chekov
Translation by Paul Schmidt
Directed by Eleanor Holdridge
The Helen at Playhouse Square
November 6 – 16, 2024
The Cherry Orchard follows a family of down-on-their-luck aristocrats as they grapple with the prospect of selling their beloved estate. As the cherry trees blossom, so do the complexities of love, loss, and the relentless passage of time. This theatrical masterpiece explores what happens when echoes of the past meet the inevitability of change. The Cherry Orchard reveals complex and colorful characters that blend humor and heartache as they encounter the absurdities that abound in simply leading one’s life. This literary classic by Anton Chekhov springs to life in a production featuring the Class of 2026.

The Helen at Playhouse Square
March 26 – April 5, 2025
The holiday season always brings the unexpected when friends and family gather to celebrate! Alan Ayckbourn, Britain’s most successful comedic playwright, turns his satiric eye to this yearly gathering when fun and games can lead to the most unpredictable and hilarious results. Christmas comes a little tardy this year in Cleveland, as the Class of 2026 navigates this mayhem of misunderstandings, botched romances, and even a few puppets!
