CPT's Y-Haven Theatre Project Celebrates 20th Year With 2018 Production: OUTSIDE THE MIRROR
By: A.A. Cristi Oct. 16, 2018
Cleveland Public Theatre and Y-Haven present Outside the Mirror, created and performed by the residents of Y-Haven, a branch of the Greater Cleveland YMCA. The Y-Haven Theatre Project is a 20-year partnership between Cleveland Public Theatre and Y-Haven, a transitional housing facility for formerly homeless men recovering from substance abuse and mental health challenges. Every year, CPT collaborates with the clients of Y-Haven to create an original theatre production, performed by the men and based on their life stories. The Y-Haven Theatre Project captures an authenticity and emotional power as the cast shares their true-to-life experiences often hidden from the world.
Outside the Mirror was developed under the guidance of CPT Education Manager Adam Seeholzer and CPT Teaching Artist/Assistant Director Leonard Goff, with set, props, and costumes designed by Inda Blatch-Geib.
A mysterious salesman disrupts the lives of two men, a small business owner and his right hand man, with an opportunity to glimpse their future. Outside the Mirror questions our ability to see the consequences of our choices and whether our future is decided by actions of today or set by fate.
A consistent audience favorite, the CPT/Y-Haven Theatre Project offers candid insight into important issues of our society and gives real hope for growth and change. Audiences are deeply moved by the poignant stories presented in this powerful collaboration.
