Photos: In Rehearsal for 10 MINUTES TO MIDNIGHT At Cleveland Public Theatre

Cleveland Public Theatre will present 10 Minutes to Midnight: 9 Quirky Plays for the Holidays. This World Premiere production is onstage from December 2 through December 18 at CPT's historic Gordon Square Theatre.

No matter what you celebrate during December, the holidays can bring joy, communal meals, loneliness, family, pressure, parties, warm hugs on cold nights, incredible stress, romance, anxiety, disaster, hope, dysfunction, and so much more! This holiday season, CPT shares humor, heart, and a party-like celebration, wrapped in a montage of short holiday (or non-holiday) plays. Part variety show, part cabaret, and part 10-minute play festival, 10 Minutes to Midnight celebrates the breadth of holiday happenings (or non-happenings) in this seasonal extravaganza dosed with live music, fun-sized scenes, hilarity, and humanity.

The cast includes Sarah Arafat, Tania Benites, Dar'Jon Marquise Bentley, Cait Butler, Dr. Nickol Calhoun, Sylka Edmondson, Brooke Myers, Drew Pope, Andrew Aaron Valdez, and Katie Wells
