WHAT

Trapped in the Museum is an in-person, after-school theatre program where youth will build original scenes centered around what happens once everyone has left a museum. This session is a devising workshop that provides a platform for youth to build confidence in imaginative exploration and collaborative storytelling skills. After creating these original pieces, the youth will learn fundamental acting skills and apply them in a culminated in-person showcase of the young artists’ original work. CAN Academy 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.
