Cleveland Play House 1927-2010 Brooks Theatre

An actor's mask is a grotesque to begin with, several are on the colonnade.

Built in 1927, sold to Cleveland Clinic in 2009. The theater company began in 1915, and is still in existence. Cleveland Clinic will tear this complex, and the old Sears store next door, down in the near future. Some people are crying over this. Cleveland Clinic is the biggest employer in town, and it gets what it wants. The city always complies to capital, or perceived capital.
