Theater Ninjas

Theater Ninjas was founded to create accessible and entertaining live performance while attracting new and young audiences to the theater.

We perform original works and interpretations that draw on elements of film, dance, improvisation, physical theater, graphic novels and music.

We offer a chance for up-and-coming Cleveland artists to develop their craft while providing affordable experiences that entertain, provoke and excite multiple generations of Clevelanders.

We are Theater Ninjas.
