CPT's Water Ways production back in 2013, the first of the Elements Cycle series, was produced in collaboration with Oberlin College and Conservatory Oasis
FACULTY - Nusha Martynuk, Program Director; Rian Brown-Orso; Tom Lopez; Carter McAdams; Geoff Pingree.
In “Water Ways”, controversy over water rights breaks out in the desert amidst the celebration of a new well. The viewpoints of politicians, activists, land-owners and business are quickly eclipsed by the news that the well is a failure – it is dry. As a supernatural storm rises up, the group is confronted by a group of fantastic water spirits who have lost their power. As the spirits reach, out the humans relearn reverence and ultimately learn that they must sacrifice for hope to rise again.

Following the housing crisis of 2008, Slavic Village was one of the most devastated areas in the country. In an effort to continue the conversation around vacancy and the current state of Cleveland’s historic neighborhoods, Slavic Village Development presented its third annual Rooms to Let: CLE (RTL) in 2016. The event originated in Columbus with a similar theme.

After the People’s Climate March in 2014, a group of interested theatremakers—both freelance and institutional friends—gathered to talk about how they could help this nascent movement get going. Their first instinct was to create a manifesto about the relationship between theater and climate change and try to get buy-in from people around the country.

This video is an excerpt from the "Clean Water, Powered by PechaKucha" event on June 10, 2015 at Music Box Supper Club. Presented by Sustainable Cleveland, this event included 10 creative Clevelanders presenting their work, ideas and obsessions, all around the topic of clean water. PechaKucha, Japanese for "chit-chat", is a style of presenting where each person shows 20 images of their work, with each image pre-timed to 20 seconds.
In this video, Cathleen O'Malley talks about the history of Cleveland Public Theatre, its production "Fire on the Water", and how sustainability and the arts go hand in hand.
