Cleveland theatregoers have a range of terrific theatre options, which we encourage all Clevelanders to explore. We know that your hectic family, work, civic and/or school schedules provide you with a limited time to relax and play. We know you have a range of entertainment options.   After all, you could go to see the latest Hollywood blockbuster movie, check out professional or collegiate sports or visit world famous museums like the Cleveland Museum of Art, the Great Lakes Science Center or the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

    While we may be biased, we at Bodwin think you can't beat a night of live theatre. By all means, go see the Cavs, the CSU Vikings, the Rockers or (if you happen to be able to get a ticket) the Indians and Browns, but when you're looking for live theatre, here are some great groups to consider:
