Check out free drama in Cleveland parks this summer, courtesy of Cleveland Public Theatre’s Student Theatre Enrichment Program (STEP). Song of the Seekers is a brand-new play developed by CPT’s inner-city teen theatre, STEP. See the play staged outdoors at a park near you (if you live in Cle, that is). Their first show is on Thu 7/29 at 7PM in Herman Park — W. 58th & Herman. Check out the schedule for rain locations. (After all, the shows will go on!)
Details on the play…
Inspired by a two thousand-year-old ancient Indian text, STEP’s ensemble of inner-city teens reveal personal dreams, hardships and victories with their original play, Song of the Seekers. An inventive remix of Shudraka’s classic comedy, The Little Clay Cart, this family-friendly performance explores the artist’s life and the struggle to be truthful in a society addicted to products and punch lines. Packed with a cappella singing, dance, beat-boxing, rhythm and rhyme, Song of the Seekers is about finding true love, freedom, and artistic authenticity in a complicated world.
