Cleveland Public Theatre is an alternative performance company with a commitment to help develop original theatre artists from our area -- particularly those whose work is experimental in form and/or challenging in content.

We are known as one of the nation's leading experimental & political performance venues, sponsoring much dance, music, poetry, and performance art as well as theatre. We sponsor several multi-cultural ensembles and function as an artistic home for dozens of self-producing artists.

CPT's intent is to utilize the performing arts to make the Cleveland public a more conscious and compassionate community.

Don't be confused. Although our name has changed, the Funny Stop Comedy Club is still Northeast Ohio's premiere comedy showplace.

Pete, Tony, Lucy, Carl, and the rest of the staff are still here to serve you.

A devastating fire, the resulting relocation of the club just two short blocks north of our old location, and a name change will never stop us from giving you the best value for your entertainment dollar, just like we have for the past two decades.

The Improv is a premiere national comedy club with state of the art audio/visual capabilities. We cater to groups from 1 to 300. Promotions, bar and bat mitzvahs, wrap parties, anniversaries, birthdays, retirement parties & just about any other occasion. Come and have a laugh with our nationally touring comics. Get the most entertainment for your dollar at our comedy club and restaurant.

Thursday's Lounge has become more than just an Akron dance club. People hail from all over Ohio and Western PA to check out Thursday's cool atmosphere and killer tunes. Live acts such as Milemarker, Mock Orange, Rant Music and Henry Rollins have also proven that Thursday's has become a nationally known nightclub and live music venue. Thursday's has been family owned since its creation in 1983. Not many bars can say they've been around that long as well as keeping the same great customers over such a long period of time. All of the Thursday's staff takes a great deal of pride in providing great entertainment as well as the strongest, best mixed drinks around. Some great people that helped us along the way are: Larry Smith, Tom Ickes, Brian Miten, Gary Blaine, Justin Kyer, Frank Spicer, Billy Cunningham, Skippy, Big Steve and the entire Akron Music Snob Club. Some great bands that have played at Thursday's back in the day are: The Nimrods, CD Truth, Strip, Poets of Another Breed, Van Dyke Brown, The View, The Walking Clampets, Exchange, Lazy American Workers, AXIS, Project 9, Blark, Headlights, the Living Blue, State of Being and many others.
