Our vision is a collaborative relationship between theatres and local breweries and bars.
Theatre on Tap was founded in 2022 by Emerson Thoenen. The goal was to fill a gap — many theatre companies take Mondays off, and many breweries are closed on Mondays.
Was there a world where we could host theatre events on these off days? Thus bringing new business to the brewery and new audiences to actors? Emerson envisioned a symbiotic relationship that opens many doors for collaborative relationships between local theatre companies and breweries.
And thus, Theatre on Tap was born.

Founder & Artistic Director
There are two places I’ve always felt the most comfortable: breweries and theatres. So why not make something that’s both? I’m excited to share my vision with you of an experience where folks can go for good brews, good theatre, and a great time.

I’m passionate about building community, and I truly believe the best way to do that is collaboration. Northeast Ohio has so much to offer in the world of arts, brews, and events, and the best way forward is together!
