for any child who demonstrates a need.

SUPER HAPPY AWESOME NEWS! is presented through special arrangement

this unprecedented circumstance. The Ohio Youth Ensemble Stage past
productions include Frozen JR., Alice in Wonderland, Shrek the Musical
Jr., and others. Students from Cuyahoga, Medina, and Summit counties
