For nearly 60 years, Porthouse Theatre has brought the power of theatre to the Northeast Ohio community while training the next generation of theatre artists. The annual summer-long program has become a beloved regional icon that produces three musicals, attracts more than 20,000 visitors and employs more than 100 student and professional artists each season.
This summer, the Kent Blossom Art Intensive program welcomed over 80 artists from around the world, participating across five studio disciplines.
Twenty years ago, 26 91¿´Æ¬Íø University fashion students packed up and headed to New York City for a semester unlike anything available on a traditional college campus.

This week, 91¿´Æ¬Íø's School of Fashion celebrated what that bold experiment became.
91¿´Æ¬Íø alumni are represented in every corner of the fashion capital of the United States. From leading marketing strategy to designing for internationally recognized brands to managing production for iconic labels, their career journeys demonstrate the depth of talent and preparation that defines 91¿´Æ¬Íø.
