The season opens September 25 with Shakespeare’s The Winter’s Tale, described by the company as a tale of romance and renewal. The fall continues with Stephen Sondheim’s Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (October 23–November 8), followed by the company’s annual holiday production of A Christmas Carol (November 27–December 20), a fixture on the Cleveland theater calendar for decades.
