POPULAR
Cleveland Public Theatre (CPT) presents the highly anticipated World Premiere of Our Lady of Common Sorrows by Jaiie Dayo Aliya. The play was a huge hit with audiences when it was presented in CPT’s Click Here, an annual developmental program for writers of all levels. Based on its successful performance during the initial 3-day run in Test Flight last January, Executive Artistic Director Raymond Bobgan felt it was ready for a full run.
About the Play
The assumed immaculate conception of a 15-year-old honor student incites a crisis of faith for her family. Award-winning playwright Jaiie Dayo Aliya takes us on a psychedelic ride where reality dances with fantasy, everyone is suspect, and big questions are asked about God, faith, and the value of life.
Featuring: Dar’Jon Bentley, Isaiah Betts, Cristal Christian, LaShawn Little, Royce The Voice Ruffin, Amy Spencer, Kynnedy, Ashley Aquilla.

What did our critic think of PIPPIN at BW Musical Theatre Program? In the Fall of 1971, while chaperoning a group of college students to New York, I saw PIPPIN, the Stephen Schwartz (music and lyrics), Roger Hirson (book), Bob Fosse (director/choreographer) musical. I had an instant love affair with the show!
