Come early, stay late, and put the 'play' in 'playgoing' with our fun, fascinating and FREE audience enrichment activities!
Reading Club
Imagine if your book club gave you insider access to everything from the world of the story to the author's brain. That's just the type of exciting and in-depth behind-the-scenes look provided by our popular Reading Club! This unique group offers an enlightening and personalized interaction with three of this season's most intriguing plays: Galileo, Radio Golf, and In the Next Room.
In a fun, social group setting, you'll spend 75 minutes with a member of the CPH Artistic Staff, who will provide insight into the play itself, and lead a lively discussion about how directors, actors, and designers put their skills to use in taking a play from the page to the stage. New this year, members are invited to attend a special TalkBack following the final Sunday matinee, where they can engage with other CPH patrons and share their perspectives in a one-of-a-kind audience forum!
For one low price, you receive a copy of each script. At no extra charge you're also allowed (and encouraged!) to bring your spouse, high-school-aged children, and friends. To keep it affordable, you'll receive just one script for each production, but please feel free to share it with your invited guests.
To maintain an intimate atmosphere, Reading Club membership is limited, so contact our Ticket Office at (216) 241-6000 as soon as possible to reserve your place!
Reading Club membership is $10 per discussion, or just $30 for all three!

- A copy of the script approximately 4 weeks prior to meeting
- Discussion questions to help guide your reading

Pre-show Conversations
Make your theatre experience even richer.
Led by CPH actors and staff, these interactive half-hour conversations pull back the curtain early to let you connect with the people, themes, ideas and creative choices that go into each production, in an engaging and relaxed setting. 45 minutes before every CPH production.
Free with your ticket purchase, and no reservation necessary!
Post-show Discussions
Stay after the show to continue the dialogue started on stage.
Our Post-show Discussions are a chance to interact with the cast, creative team, local experts and fellow playgoers in a lively and wide-ranging discussion of each production and the questions it raises. Discussions take place after the second Tuesday and final three Sunday performances of each production.
