Founded as a small, non-profit professional theatre company in Chicago in 1989, and relocating to Cleveland in 1999, Cesear’s Forum is dedicated to interpreting and presenting unconventional works of selected authors, poets and dramatists and/or to shape new works. The goal is to elicit public interaction with dramatic form and ideology, promoting an understanding of self within the larger context of society. Although language driven, stylized production elements encourage audiences to trust their perceptions regarding a multiplicity of meaning. Efforts are intended to educate and enlighten as well as entertain. Using Equity and non-union performers, the company has been recognized for innovation, energy and high production values while providing an intimate, personal experience.
