Heights Youth Theatre presents "Once On This Island"
7:00 PM
Once On This Island, set in the French Antilles, is a magical tale about love, class struggles, faith, and transformation. As in any great story, there is an oath, a curse, a battle,a journey, and a colorful cast of characters that will steal your heart and chill your soul. Ti Moune is a young peasant girl who survives one storm only to be thrust into another. She must choose between the love she develops for Daniel, an upper class man, and an oath to the gods. What will she choose?
With a Caribbean music score, large-scale puppets, and movement styles ranging from Haitian, Afro-Cuban, West African, and Hip Hop, you will want to visit this island more than once!
The talented cast from age 7 to 18 hails from Cleveland and its surrounding suburbs.
Location:
Wiley Middle School Auditorium

SPEECH & DEBATE by Stephen Karam
8:00 PM - 10:00 PM
SPEECH & DEBATE explores what it’s like to be without a voice and how there is strength in numbers. Three high school misfits, Howie, Solomon and Diwata, discover they are linked by a sex scandal that’s rocked their town. When one of them sets out to expose the truth, secrets become currency, the stakes get higher, and the trio’s connection grows deeper in this searching, fiercely funny dark comedy with music. Extended twice at the Roundabout in NYC, SPEECH & DEBATE offers a “direct pipeline into the zeitgeist of contemporary youth.”

Tetelestai
8:00 PM
Tetelestai—a contemporary musical portrayal of the trial, execution and Resurrection of Jesus the Messiah—is returning to the Heights area after a 15-year absence.
Gesu Parish in University Heights will host Tetelestai on March 19 at 8 p.m., March 20 at 8 p.m., and March 21 at 3 p.m. in Gesu Church at 2470 Miramar Boulevard.
A volunteer cast and crew of approximately 120 persons gives 27 “prayerformances” throughout the Lenten season. It has been doing so for the last 34 years. This is more than a mere response to the Christian rock phenomenon. It promises to make Lenten observances that much more memorable.
Admission is free, and seating is open. Donations are welcome. To volunteer to help with publicity, hospitality, or greeters, contact Carole Kealy at 216-838-7290 or John Power 216-291-5116.
