Y-Haven Theatre Project 2023’s
January 26, 27, and January 29
(January 28th is the Y-Haven Benefit which is sold directly through Y-Haven)
Cleveland Public Theatre’s (CPT) and Y-Haven are proud to present the return of Y-Haven Theatre Project,
a 24-year partnership between Cleveland Public Theatre and Y-Haven, a branch of the YMCA when CPT collaborates with the clients of Y-Haven to create an original theatre production that shares powerful stories of recovery
and personal triumph, capturing an authentic and emotional power as the cast shares their true-to-life experiences.
This year’s show is called In Our Wake; and marks the first year that all genders are a part of the cast, as the Y-Haven program has traditionally been for men.
“No one’s life changes unless they want it to and one of the profound elements of this program is that we get to make art with people who have
made a clear and active choice to change.” ¯Cleveland Public Theatre Executive Artistic Director Raymond Bobgan
