An evening of insightful, delightful and powerfully original works of drama, story and poetry performed by women in transition. Established in 1999, the Women's Voices Project is a collaboration between Cleveland Public Theatre and the Elyria YWCA's Women's Campus Project. Offered as part of a larger system of care and resources, the Women's Voices Project connects Campus Project residents with the tools of creative expression to help them achieve independent living and recover from domestic violence and/or addiction. Following performances at CPT and the Elyria YWCA, the women tour their work to area shelters, recovery centers and prisons.
Under the guidance of CPT Education Director Chris Seibert, Women's Voices participants have worked with gifted local artists Deborah Burke, Becky Cummings, Lisa Langford, Sarah McCoy, Gabrielle Perrin and Elizabeth R. Wood.
Together, the artists and the residents have engaged in writing and dramatic activities to improvise and verbalize stories that are born from the truth of difficult life circumstances.
Don't miss this touching and transformative performance. It's what CPT is all about!
Me as I Am, Me as I Will Be features work by Veronica Brantford, Katie Brown, Anne Larson-Dougan, Debra Fesler, Tanya E. Garner, Michaela Joyce, Norma J. Kendle, Trish Mendiola and Nicole M. Rivera
Created by the women of the Elyria YWCA and Directed by CPT Education Director Chris Seibert
