Don't let the exterior of Cleveland's Duck Island intimidate you. Sure, the building may seem a bit grandiose and intimidating from the outside, but once you find your way in and get comfortable, you'll find that the nightlife venue seems to hark back to a classier era when the simple things like sitting close to your partner, having a quiet conversation and enjoying a well-made cocktail were things that were all worth celebrating. Happily, at Duck Island, they still are.

The tradition of excellence in local theater has been maintained in Cleveland since 1915 because of the tireless efforts of the professionals involved with the Cleveland Play House. The entertainment venue has many distinctions, not the least of which is the fact that it stands as the country's first professional regional theater. Since the lights first came up on its stage, more than 12 million people have enjoyed some truly memorable performances. In addition to featuring a busy performance schedule, the theater also provides various seminars and programs designed for everyone from children to aspiring actors and actresses.
