Cleveland Public Theatre announces STEP (Student Theatre Enrichment Program) 2021 Summer SESSION

Who: Youth Ages 14-19 (Cuyahoga County Residents)

What: As part of this eight-week summer program, 12-16 youth, ages 14-19, work together to create, produce, perform, and tour their own play. This program is the longest-running arts-based,
workplace development program in Cleveland and is an international model for engaging youth.
Since its beginning in 1994, STEP has received multiple awards and recognitions, including those
from The City of Cleveland, The President’s Committee on the Arts and the Humanities, and

inspirational force, and watch as their work has an impact on the larger Cleveland community.
