Executive Artistic Director Raymond Bobgan is proud to announce Cleveland Public Theatre's celebrated Student Theatre Enrichment Program (STEP) returns to Cleveland City Parks this summer with their new original play entitled "Imagine Home". The 2011 STEP ensemble of teens explore identity, family and sense of self in their original play, Imagine Home. Working in close collaboration with CPT Teaching Artists, teenagers met for five hours per day five days per week to develop every element of the play. Inspired by Henrik Ibsen's classic play "Peer Gynt", this family-friendly show tells the story of a mischievous outcast searching to find his place in the world. Packed with a cappella singing, dance and non-stop action, "Imagine Home" is about facing life's difficult challenges and finding a home within ourselves. Come celebrate the power and creativity of Cleveland's youth!
