Cleveland Public Theatre will receive NTC's 2020 Outstanding Theatre Award (OTA) this December!

This year’s OTA committee members, Vivienne Benesch, Kirsten Brandt, Deborah Brevoort, Mindi Dickstein, David Feldshuh (Chair), Bruce Levitt, and Courtney Sale stressed Cleveland Public Theatre’s remarkable longevity, breadth and diversity of programming and commitment to its neighborhood, the City of Cleveland and its artists, echoing what NTC member and nominator Laurie McCants wrote: “Cleveland Public Theatre is a truly outstanding organization." The NTC Board of Trustees unanimously and enthusiastically approved the committee’s selection.
 
The award will be presented at our 2020 Virtual Conference on Saturday, December 5th at 1:00 PM, Eastern Time, followed by a conversation with Executive Artistic Director Raymond Bobgan and nominator Laurie McCants. We will then have a Q & A session with the membership.
