The Case Western Reserve University/Cleveland Play House MFA Acting Program will present its 2026 Graduate Showcase on Thursday, April 30, 2026 at the Roe Green Theatre in Cleveland. Eight graduating actors will perform an evening of scenes directed by Erica Jensen and David Vegh and produced by Don Carrier.

The graduating cohort includes Madalyn Baker, Byron Johnson, Brendan Lowry, Christina McSheffrey, Calder Meis, Brianna Miller, Meredith Nelson, and Adam Ortega. During their training, the group performed in productions including Our Town, Primary Trust, Tartuffe, and Much Ado About Nothing. The program trains actors in contemporary and classical work, devised performance, and on-camera and voice-over technique. The program graduates a new cohort every two years.

Following the Cleveland performance, the graduating class will travel to New York City to perform scenes for industry representatives, a customary step in the transition from graduate training to professional work. Tickets for the April 30 Cleveland showcase are available through the Cleveland Play House website.
