FREE FAMILY THEATRE 

 

 

CPT Executive Artistic Director Raymond Bobgan is proud to present Free
Family Theatre in the Parks! The teens of the Student Theatre Enrichment
Program (STEP) present Eye, Mind, Heart, an original play inspired by
Hans Christian Andersen's The Snow Queen. The 2009 STEP project will
open on Thursday, July 30th at Herman Park in the Detroit-Shoreway
neighborhood before touring to a dozen other parks throughout the city
of Cleveland through August 9th.

 

Utilizing The Snow Queen as a starting point, STEP's ensemble of
inner-city teens reveal their own hopes, fears, strengths and
vulnerabilities. This family-friendly performance is a powerful love
story that examines humanity's struggle for compassion and connection in
a materialistic and cut-throat world, and is super-charged with a
cappella singing, dance and non-stop action. Eye, Mind, Heart is about
finding one's path to a joyful life and highlights the power and
creativity of Cleveland's youth. This original work will be presented
free of charge at parks throughout the city of Cleveland from July 30 -
August 9.

 

Free and open to the public! Fun for the whole family!

Bring a lawn chair or blanket and enjoy the show!

 

STEP engages inner-city teens in a rigorous and fun theatrical journey,
focusing on excellence in performance, play creation, writing, and
production. Now in its 16th year, STEP has received multiple awards and
recognitions including those from the City of Cleveland and from The
President's Committee on the Arts and Humanities and the National
Endowment for the Arts. CPT Teaching Artists guide inner-city teens with
little or no previous performance experience on a journey of self
discovery and awareness through the dramatic arts. 

 

Eye, Mind, Heart opens on Thursday, July 30th and runs through Sunday,
August 9th, traveling to different parks and festivals across the city.
