LPL'S WEB SITE FOCUS - BECK CENTER FOR THE ARTS

The Beck Center for the Arts is a non-profit, performing arts and arts education organization dedicated to enriching the quality of life for Northeastern Ohioans. They combine professional theatrical productions with comprehensive curriculum-based arts education in Creative Arts Therapies, dance, music, theater, and visual arts, serving over 100,000 annually in Cuyahoga, Lorain, Lake, and Summit Counties.

Their professional theater productions include a traditional, yet diverse combination of musicals, dramas and comedies on two separate stages, serving an average of 30,000 patrons each year. A 20-year veteran, Artistic Director Scott Spence has linked some of Cleveland’s top directors with titles you would expect (or not expect) from the Beck Center, including Seth Gordon of the Cleveland Play House, an artist-in-residency with Chicago’s Timothy Mooney and Cain Park’s Artistic Director, Victoria Bussert. Some daring, some courageous, yet all the quality and value you have come to expect from the Beck Center for the Arts. Check out their web site: http://beckcenter.org/
