Presented by The George W. Codrington Charitable Foundation, Dominion, =
and The Raymond John Wean Foundation, this classic epic pits darkness =
against light and asks the cast (ages 9 - 13) and audience to look =
within to create and build the world without. Supporting sponsors are =
Fifth Third Bank, MetroHealth, Thompson Hine, and US Bank. The =
production is sponsored also by Charter One Bank .

Council.

Since 1978, Near West Theatre has provoked theatre through a process =
that is intense, challenging and transforming-for participants and =
audience alike. People from all walks of life come together to be =
challenged-by sharing their unique life stories and experiences-to find =
their own voices and to make personal connections with the production. =
Through this sometimes rugged and ragged process, people not only =
discover themselves in new ways but relate to each other through the =
medium of theatre. Connections are made. Community is formed. The result =
is authentic, raw and passionate theatre.

=20

NWT is the recipient of the 2003 Governor's Award for the Arts for =
Community Development and Participation.
