Cleveland Play House's refurbished Allen Theatre.

Offscript: Laura Kepley’s Tony Burrito Toss

This week’s guest is Laura Kepley, artistic director of this year’s Regional Tony winner Cleveland Play House. She talks about why Cleveland is the next big arts town—and where to find a good craft beer.

Every other week, the editors of American Theatre curate a free-ranging discussion about the lively arts in our Offscript podcast.

This week’s guest is Laura Kepley, artistic director of Cleveland Play House, the winner of this year’s Regional Tony Award.
