Join Raymond Bobgan, director of the Cleveland Public Theater (CPT), to explore innovation in theater and the use of the arts to build community. 

Bobgan has been director of CPT for nine seasons, and specializes in working through an ensemble process to create new performances that are bold, multilayered and highly physical. In 1994, Bobgan initiated the Student Theatre Enrichment Program, a job training program that engages at-risk youth in writing, producing, and performing new plays. Under his leadership CPT has eliminated significant debt, run consistent operating surpluses, and formed a Building Reserve and an Innovation Reserve.
