was appointed CPT Executive Artistic Director in 2006. In 1994, CPT completed its first capital campaign to purchase the building at 6415 Detroit Avenue. CPT transformed the first floor used-appliance store into a small black box theatre and a scene shop. The third floor, once an apartment, became the theatre’s administrative offices. In 1995, CPT acquired the adjoining building which housed the remains of Cleveland’s oldest standing theatre. The Gordon Square Theatre was built in 1911 as a vaudeville theatre, and had been condemned by the city. Now the Gordon Square Theatre is an integral part of the CPT Campus and the Gordon Square Arts District. In December 2009, CPT completed purchase of the de-sanctified Orthodox Church properties adjacent to the theatre buildings.
