The summer session is geared for youth ages 10–14 years old and the program is offered at no cost. Enrollment is by audition. Youth who have successfully participated in Cleveland Public Theatre’s Brick City Theatre program are ensured an invitation and placement in the program upon successful audition. All youth must participate in an audition to be eligible for the program. Enrollment is capped at 25 participants.
WHO
This program is for youth ages 10–14 years old who are interested in a creative theatre training that focuses on acting fundamentals, storytelling, and playwriting. The program has a priority to serve Cleveland residents, but youth who live outside of Cleveland are welcome to audition.
WHAT
Cleveland Act Now is an intensive summer arts program for young artists that is fun and challenging. Youth will learn acting fundamentals, storytelling methods, and ensemble play creation.
