GLOBAL TEEN PERFORMANCE PROJECT: MAKING OUR WAY

Created by GLOBAL TEEN PERFORMANCE PROJECT ensemble and Cleveland Public Theatre teaching artists, Making Our Way is an original performance based on the personal experiences of 15 international teenagers from eight countries. The performance is the culmination of a rigorous and collaborative after-school rehearsal process between students and CPT teaching artists, with the support and involvement of Thomas Jefferson INTERNATIONAL NEWCOMERS ACADEMY teachers and staff. Together they have created an original work of theatre based on the students’ stories and cultures, and their experiences as newcomers in the U.S. Making Our Way is a story of finding footing, forging new pathways, and discovering the power of friendship and family.
