Y-Haven's Annual Steps and Stages Benefit

Y-Haven play 2011 The Y-Haven Theatre Project supports newly learned skills for sober and independent living and honors the unique and important perspective men in recovery bring to the Cleveland community.

Since 1998, Cleveland Public Theatre (CPT) and Y-Haven have annually collaborated to create an original theatre production, performed by the residents and based on their personal experiences.

Every year, the original work is presented to enthusiastic full houses at CPT.

The play tours Cleveland area homeless shelters, recovery centers, college campuses, churches and juvenile detention centers.

In November, Y-Haven’s annual “Steps and Stages” silent auction and benefit is held at CPT at 6415 Detroit Ave., to help raise funds for the Y-Haven program.
