Dobama Theatre
Dobama Theatre is a Cleveland Heights, Ohio theater founded in 1959 by Donald (Do) and Marilyn Bianchi, Barry (ba) and Janet Silverman and Mark Silverberg (ma). The first play performed by Dobama was Rope Dancers.
The artistic director is Joyce Casey. 2005 was its final season in a basement in the Coventry neighborhood; following a year producing at Cleveland Play House it will produce in new facilities at the Cleveland Heights Public Library in Fall 2008.
The theater is also home to Dobama's Night Kitchen which produces new works for teenage and young adult audiences.
The Dobama Theatre is well-known for its annual Marilyn Bianchi Kids' Playwriting Festival, open to Cuyahoga County students in grades 1 through 12. Each year, the Festival receives between four and five hundred plays, of which a small number are chosen for professional production. Winning plays submitted by older students are presented by the Night Kitchen, while the younger winners see their plays performed at the annual recognition ceremony.
