HOMELESS MEN IN TRANSITION CREATE A NEW THEATRE PIECE BASED ON THEIR JOURNEYS TOWARD RECOVERY

 

Cleveland Public Theatre and Y-Haven present What's the Price? 

Free and Open to the Public

November 8 - 11

 

Cleveland Public Theatre's Education Department and the Cleveland YMCA's Y-Haven Program present What's the Price?, the 2007 CPT/Y-Haven Performance Project. For the eighth year in a row, CPT, Cleveland's leading alternative theatre and Y-Haven, YMCA's transitional home and treatment center for homeless men, many of whom are in recovery from drug and alcohol addiction, have collaborated to create this original performance. CPT Artists work with residents of Y-Haven to create an original play performed by the residents and based on their personal experiences. This year's production is guided by Director Denis Griesmer and Playwriting Consultant Doug Snyder.

 

What's the Price? is a story of taking responsibility for personal decisions and recognizing that opportunities for change always exist.  As Teddy and Pete Greenfield bury their father, they learn that the car dealership they've inherited is on the verge of bankruptcy.  Louis Stone, a fast-talking mysterious stranger who was their father's protégé, shows up and offers to help them with the troubled dealership. Teddy is seduced by Stone's easy way out, but Pete sees the danger and tries to steer the dealership away from Stone's dark influence. Can Pete save the dealership and his brother Teddy? What's the Price? follows the brothers as they try to reconcile the conflicting images of their father and move out of his enormous shadow. An audience favorite year after year, the CPT/Y-Haven Project offers candid insight into important issues of our society and gives real hope for growth and change. Audiences are continually blown-away by the poignant and moving stories presented by this powerful collaboration.
