Karamu House

I love karamu and the mission to pour back into our community as it cultivates the Art's and talents of others.

Very lovely theater. I enjoyed the experience I had at the Karamu House. I arrived ten minutes late and was politely escorted to my seat when the timing was right. Viewing a performance of Elton John and Tim Rice s version of Aida," left me amazed and entertained. The actors were lucid and energetic. For a play, that I believe lasted two hours, had gone by so fast due to the actors never letting a moment get dull. And overall I recommend everyone visit the Karamu House at least once, the music, choreography, and atmosphere are lovely.

Great experience. Smaller venue so all seats are good
Very talented performers

Fantastic gem for performing arts. Wonderfully courteous staff, superbly remodelled theater and creative professional performance. It was a night to remember. We look forward to seeing more shows.

I like the place because it's real neat and nice convient for me when I have to go to the Banm

The performance was excellent, funny and very entertaining!

Damon Williams comedian a great performer beginnig to end .

Iam so excited to be part of the Karamu history persay..I was enroled in a creative writting course as a child way back in 1975, and it all paid off in my love of writing as I have just published my first book...." Iam My Father's Daughter" is available at Amazon aand Barnes and Noble!
Thanks Karamu!

Great experience night over Egypt was excellent perfect vibes. The play was wonderfully performed and got a standing ovation.

lots a history up in there...i saw from the photos on display inside

Karamu has always been an amazing place with an extensive history. Had a great time here.

We have been to Karamu for several plays, always thought provoking and intelligent, and most recently for a brilliantly fun night of stand-up. Karamu is without doubt one of the most inclusive and finest institutions in the U.S. - embodying the real vision of this country being equality and justice. If more people in our society would engage with places like this that always have the hand of friendship stretched out, regardless of race or religion, the world would be a better place. Karamu always welcomes its visitors with open arms.

Went to see the play Sassy Mamas and loved it! Very fun play about 3 sucessful older women. Great girls night out!

I studied dance at the Karamu house as a teen. Loved it!

The karamu been around sense I was a little girl. And its still around .

I absolutely love my experience every time I come to see a play. Excellent experience every time!

Really have changed sense the last time I was here.It has a laid back kinda atmosphere,could use more leg room

Karamu has been around for many years and is one of the oldest black performing arts theaters in Cleveland. I Love this place

Excellent actors and the play was funny and thoughtful. Sassy Mamas.

It's been a while since I've visited, but the Karumu House is stronger than ever. The stage setting was believable, it commanded your attention..The play Sassy Mamas was fun, refreshing, and a joy to watch. I plan to visit again.

I think the people here were the nicest people I've ever had the pleasure of dealing with I wish I could give them 10 stars

I will always subscribe to their annual plays. LOVE THE KARAMU HOUSE.

Karamu House recently begun it's 101 year of operations and is returning to it's old glory. They have great classes and amazing productions.

I'm not very big on Performing Arts but I loved the dance or it being my first time seeing one great people and lots of fun
