Bring a blanket or a lawn chair and enjoy free theatre in the park!

Cleveland, OH-Executive Artistic Director Raymond Bobgan is proud to present the return of Cleveland Public Theatre's celebrated Student Theatre Enrichment Program (STEP). This summer, Cleveland's longest-running arts and job training program for urban teens celebrates its 20th year with Now the City Dreams, a new production that will tour with free public performances through Cleveland City Parks this summer, July 31-August 10.

About the Show:
Now the City Dreams is an unapologetic re-imagining of Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream. Watch as the path of crazed lovers, beguiling spirits, and hilarious play-makers collide one magical summer night in the city! A family-friendly journey of yearnings, dreams, and musings about that impossible, indescribable, inescapable human experience called L-O-V-E, Now the City Dreams is a feast of percussion, song, dance, and modern poetry. Come celebrate the power and creativity of Cleveland's youth when this joyful production dreams its way into a park near you!
