Station Hope is free, family-friendly, and open to all.

"As we approach this 10th anniversary, I feel immense gratitude to be a witness and accomplice, and I feel a hunger for more learning, more change, and yes, hope. I know I need it now more than ever. We all do." ―Raymond Bobgan, CPT executive artistic director

Each year, over 2,000 people attend the annual event which features art and performance staged in and around one of the most historically significant sites in Greater Cleveland, St. John's Episcopal Church. In addition to performances, audiences will get to enjoy the original architecture of the historic church while also taking in art displays and interactive art activities on the grounds of the church.

Cleveland Public Theatre's Station Hope 2023 is presented in partnership with The Episcopal Diocese of Ohio, Councilman Kerry McCormack, and Ohio City Incorporated.
