Jamaica Plain Teen Performs with American Repertory Theatre

From Cambridge School of Weston: Jamaica Plain resident and a junior at the Cambridge School of Weston, recently performed in an original production through Harvard’s American Repertory Theater.

Earlier this fall, Lev Goldman ’20 was one of 14 students who performed in Proclamation 6: Unite!, an original production through Harvard’s American Repertory Theater (ART). He was selected through written application and interview to participate in the production. Students got the chance to work directly with ART artists and Harvard professors to write scenes, create characters, and bring the show to life at the Oberon theater November 3-4.

The play follows a group of teens living in a residential treatment center as they work in support of one-another to confront personal struggles and move forward in life. The piece was conceptualized around the theme of unity, exploring “the differences that divide, the ties that bind, and how we build bridges between the two,” the show description says.
