From the Middle

Shaker Heights middle school students are encouraged to channel creative ideas and experiences into words - specifically, into a radio play.

Students create their own characters, work together to build a story in separate acts, then edit and record a fully original script for a radio drama with Radio on the Lake Theatre, under the mentoring of Story Forum staff and a playwright mentor from Baldwin Wallace University.

The From the Middle Program Coordinators and Student Mentors are Mia Compton-Engle and Victoria Watts.

We are proud to partner with Story Forum, a Shaker Heights-based organization, to nurture the next generation of playwrights.

Story Forum provides a platform for story exchange. Through communications, arts, and literature, we build on age appropriate themes that engage and help children explore their interests.
