Cleveland Public Theatre presents the 2017 CPT / Y-Haven Theatre Project: GOLDEN<http://www.cptonline.org/performances/seasons/2016-2017/y-haven-theatre-project-3/> Formerly homeless men in transition create a new theatre piece based on their journeys toward recovery NOVEMBER 2 - 5 (Thu/Friday/Sun) Cleveland Public Theatre and Y-Haven present Golden, created and performed by the residents of Y-Haven, a branch of the Greater Cleveland YMCA. A nineteen-year partnership between the two organizations, the project introduces theatre arts to formerly homeless men recovering from 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. PLOT SUMMARY - Golden What happens when old buddies rekindle their friendships after 5 years of disconnection? Craig is back in town seeking support through a family emergency. While out fishing, the friends reel in a mysterious lockbox from the bottom of the lake. When the box is unlocked and gold is revealed, motives are questioned, desire overpowers, and haunting stories emerge as relationships fray. Golden is a compelling original play exploring the cost of greed, the calling of friendship, and how stories shape our existence and connect us to our humanity.
