Lakewood Exterminating

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.

Climb aboard one of the country's most significant pieces of history when you visit the USS Cod Memorial. This is a World War II era GATO class fleet submarine that allows visitors to explore history from a truly deeper perspective. The USS Cod is listed as a National Historic Landmark and is docked in Cleveland. Visitors not only have the opportunity to tour this historically significant vessel, but also can learn more about it through a handful of interesting exhibits as well as the various materials that are available in the souvenir and gift shop.

Artistic expression comes in many forms at Cleveland's Museum of Contemporary Art. For example, you can take in a visually captivating display of life-sized porcelain pigs facing a lectern or the sharp social commentary that is put forth by an exhibit that features various television monitors repeating nonsense syllables over and over again. Established in 1968, this museum features no permanent collections as to constantly attract (and challenge) art lovers to return periodically to see their impressive rotating exhibits.
