WHAT

Taught by CPT Teaching Artist and CAN Academy Site Coordinator, Zyrece Montgomery, and Supporting Teaching Artist Olivia Wolfram, Her Legacy is an in-person, after-school theatre program where youth will work as an ensemble to build an original piece centered around recognizing the women who have been impactful in their lives and celebrating their legacy. This session is a devising workshop that provides a platform for youth to build confidence in self-expression, self-discovery, writing, and collaborative storytelling skills. This spring session culminates in an in-person showcase of the young artists’ original work. CAN Academy performing arts activities improve academic skills, instill empathy and responsibility, build character, and enhance creative thinking.

This program is offered at NO COST, thanks to the Cleveland Foundation. All classes are in person on-site at Cleveland Public Theatre. Young artists must follow our health and safety protocols, which are informed by the CDC guidelines. Any updates to our health and safety protocols will be communicated to our CAN families in a timely manner.
