*PRESS RELEASE.  **FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:*

*THE YOUNG ACTOR'S WORKSHOPS! *

*Ensemble Theatre & Heights Youth Theatre! *

*Partnering in Theatre Education in the Heights, and beyond!*

**

*A great gift idea for the Holidays!  Give the gift of Theatre!  *

Two amazing and long-standing organizations in CLEVELAND HEIGHTS have
embarked on a wonderful collaboration to create a *Theatre Education
program IN THE HEIGHTS!*

*  *

*Heights Youth Theatre** & **Ensemble Theatre* both long time residents of
Cleveland Heights have partnered to create *a theatre education program
for the many* *young residents of "the heights" and beyond!  *These
workshops offer a unique learning opportunity to students and young adults
that they may not find anywhere else so close to home! Students will
collaborate and learn with instructors pulled from some of the brightest
theatre artists in Cleveland!

*The mission of our youth programming is to encourage and nurture our young
performers’ innate curiosity, creativity, and ability to make connections
with others. Through performance related and technical theatre classes,
students learn to communicate and expand their imagination, creativity,
thoughts, and emotions. In classes, students discover self-discipline,
self-motivation, self-esteem, and social interaction. They also experience
a heightened sense of culture, an ability to make critical value judgments,
and valuable skills in acting and technical theater. The Young Actor’s
Workshop combines these elements to form a curriculum that allows students
to explore and experience the theatrical world, instilling a lifelong love
of theater. *
