The Festival, which features a resident company of artists, brings four of the world’s greatest plays to life in rotating repertory each season from September through May in its revolutionary new home at the Hanna Theatre. The company also presents the region’s annual production of A Christmas Carol – now in its 21st year – each season at the Ohio Theatre. On its main stage and through its extensive educational outreach initiatives, Great Lakes Theater Festival programming reaches over 75,000 adults and students each season.
