Blanket. Lawn chair. Popsicles (optional)... and a life-changing educational program. It's that time of year again. August 4th through the 14th, the 2015 STEP teen ensemble is live and onstage at a park near you! Come see their grand opening at our very own Herman Park, August 4th at 7:00 PM! Created and performed by the STEP 2015 ensemble, Lost in the Water is presented as part of CPT's Performing Water series in connection with the City of Cleveland's Year of Clean Water. Who dares to venture out to the haunted lighthouse? What unfortunate souls drift with the water-logged wreck? And who might find jewels of wisdom there? Inspired by the Inuit folktale The Skeleton Woman, Shakespeare's The Tempest, the Susanoo-no-Mikoto story of Japan, and the South African myth, Selekena and the River Goddess, this family-friendly voyage is a powerful collection of tales that explore our deep connection to water, one of our most precious and powerful resources. Come celebrate the creativity of Cleveland's youth! Bring a blanket or a lawn chair and enjoy free theatre in the park! For additional dates and times, check out CPT's Student Theater website. About STEP

STEP is an 8-week intensive that offers youth the opportunity to earn money while working and training in close collaboration CPT Teaching Artists, led by Education Director Chris Seibert. STEP participants meet five hours per day, five days per week to engage in acting, writing, movement, percussion, voice, dance, technical production and touring while developing valuable job skills such as timeliness, commitment and teamwork. The program culminates in the creation of an original theatrical production that tours FREE performances to indoor and outdoor venues across the city. Through STEP, the youth see themselves as positive and inspirational forces, and watch as their work impacts the larger Cleveland community.
