<br>
<br>
Cleveland Public Theatre and Y-Haven present <i>Walk a Mile</i>, created and performed by the residents of Y-Haven, a branch of the Greater Cleveland YMCA. An eighteen-year partnership between the two organizations, the project introduces theatre arts to homeless
men recovering substance abuse and mental health challenges. As they work with CPT artists to create an original performance based on their personal experiences, participants develop skills and capacities that support their sobriety and transition to employment,
permanent housing and independent living. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="border:none;padding:0in"><b><u>About the Play: <i>Walk a Mile<br>
</i></u></b>After taking very different life paths, brothers Melvin and Shaun have reunited to reopen the family business—their father’s shoe store—in the heart of their struggling community. But when a key financial investor reveals his true nature, the brothers
are unwittingly pitted against each other. As Melvin tries to navigate an unfair financial landscape and Shaun fights to keep negative influences at bay, both men come to understand they’ve inherited more than their father’s work—they are walking in the footsteps
of their father’s discipline, secrets and lies as well.<i> <o:p></o:p></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="border:none;padding:0in"><i><o:p> </o:p></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="border:none;padding:0in">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.<i><o:p></o:p></i></p>
