[NEohioPAL] Free Performances of PROVE YOURSELF at CPT!

[Rebecca Hill]

Cleveland Public Theatre presents Prove Yourself the 2012 CPT/Y-Haven Project

Free Performances at Cleveland Public Theatre November 8, 9 and 11th!

Cleveland Public Theatre and Y-Haven present Prove Yourself, created and performed by the residents of Y-Haven, a branch of the Greater Cleveland YMCA. A thirteen-year partnership between the two organizations, the project introduces theatre arts to homeless men recovering from addictions. As they work with CPT artists to create an original performance based on their personal experiences, participants develop skills and capacities that support sobriety and transition to employment, permanent housing, and independent living. Prove Yourself was developed under the guidance of CPT Teaching Artists Adam Seeholzer and Darius Stubbs.
A consistent audience favorite, the CPT/Y-Haven Theatre Project offers candid insight into important issues of our society and gives real hope for growth and change. Audiences are deeply moved by the poignant stories presented in this powerful collaboration.

About the play: Larry just wants to see his son. But the court, his ex-wife and the boy's new father keep getting in his way. Driven by his troubled past, Larry's mission is to see his son, no matter the cost. As he struggles to overcome every obstacle, Larry may be forgetting the largest obstacle of all: himself. Prove Yourself is a riveting story about parenthood and the challenges people face when coming to terms with themselves, their past mistakes and their dreams for the future.

Y-Haven Artists: Willie Brown Jr., Russell Byrd, Shawn Chandler, Robert Dawson, David Falkenstein, Chris Griffin, David Harton Jr., Marlon Hibler, Harold Hightower, Mika Knezovic, David Kwasniewski, Joseph Menefee, Creshawn Smith, and Willie Richard

CPT Artists: Adam Seeholzer and Darius Stubbs with costumes and set by Inda Blatch-Geib.
