Cleveland Public Theatre is known for presenting theater works at all stages of development, from readings to fully staged productions. Its series, Test Flight, is one opportunity they offer playwrights with works in development to take them out for a spin and see what needs to be done before they’re ready to be fully staged.
This year’s Test Flight 2022 runs for three weekends. They say, “We believe this series is part of a larger story of CPT’s role in the national theatre field, our core membership in the National New Play Network utilized as a platform to launch underrepresented/under-produced playwright-creators (particularly women and people of color), and how this work is raising the profile of Cleveland as far as developing theatre that is outside the mainstream.”
The second weekend will showcase Bedroom Culture, written and directed by Cleveland-based Hannah Rae Leach, with music by folk-pop band the Prom Queens: Leach, Alexa Fatheringham, Samantha Cocco and Katherine Nash.
“The summer before freshman year of college, Lavender is determined to have her First Experience with a boy,” the play’s synopsis tells us. “Her best friend Maya finds her feelings for Lavender run deeper than friendship. Caught in a queer love triangle, Bedroom Culture is a sun-drenched coming-of-age story about the power of pop culture, fantasy, and first love.”
