Big Dog Theater, a new comedy/improv venue scheduled to open in the old Centrum movie theater on Coventry Road in Cleveland Heights this weekend, has run into a building permit issue. Its opening has been delayed indefinitely.

Cleveland actor/improv artist/teacher Don Mitri signed a lease in late July to take over the empty theater, which he planned to turn into a theater for local and touring improv and sketch comedy groups, as well as stand-up comics. His plans include an improv school and resident long-form and short-form improv teams.

  1. Best of luck Don! Come on Cleveland Heights–anything that fosters something good (on so many levels here) for Northeast Ohio needs to take top priority!

  2. Call Dimora. I’m sure with his connections he could fix your problems with the building commission. He still eats at Delmonico’s. He’s not hard to miss.
