A BLOCK PARTY WITH A PURPOSE, AN ARTS EVENT FOR THE PEOPLE, A CELEBRATION OF HOPE.

Back for a 3rd year, Station Hope is a jubilant community event that celebrates hope.  It honors Cleveland’s history while engaging in contemporary social justice issues.

Station Hope is inspired by Cleveland’s role in the Underground Railroad. It takes place at St. John’s Episcopal Church—Cleveland’s first authenticated Underground Railroad site. Audiences can explore historic St. John’s church buildings and surrounding grounds.  The venue hosts an array of theatre, dance, music and multimedia performances. Over 250 artists from Northeast Ohio address some of the most important issues of our time. Visual art installation, choir performances and other activities set the atmosphere around the church.

From January through June 2016, Cleveland Public Theatre and partners will produce “Road to Hope”: a  series of free neighborhood-based events in various community locations across Cleveland. Enjoy short excerpts of larger works, facilitated dialogue around contemporary topics and other special activities. Station Hope and Road to Hope events are made possible with support from the National Endowment for the Arts’ Our Town grant program.

Tickets: FREE AND OPEN TO ALL AGES
