Earlier today I met briefly with the newly hired education director of the Cleveland Play House as well as several others to discuss an upcoming project.
Firestone Theatre has been invited by the Play House to participate in a newly funded program called Full Contact and I think it will be very exciting. This program is funded by the NEA and is intended to help make connections between the Playhouse and high schools in Northeast Ohio. The goal is to partner 4 schools with 4 separate theatre artists and to create an original piece of theatre based on another piece of art -- a painting, poem, sculpture, etc. The four newly created pieces will be presented at the Play House as a single performance on an as yet undetermined date.
Much more we do not yet know. I never have had a problem walking into the woods without a map and I think this has the potential to be an exciting project.
I basic schedule has been established for a residency in the fall. The rest of the details will be worked out in short order. I don't have a map and I don't know for sure where we are going . . . but I think it is going to be a great, eventful journey.
