The men’s chorus will perform “And All Nature Did Sing!” May 16 in Rocky River and May 17 in Kirtland. The program features familiar and lesser-known gems, finding harmony in earth, animals and the universe.

For every “Earth Song,” there’s an “Ad Astra (To the Stars).” The 50 men will show their gentle side (“Seal Lullaby”), they’ll swing (“Stray Cat Strut”), and they’ll salute their home (“Beautiful Ohio”). And there’ll be much more! Concerts are at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, May 16, at West Shore Unitarian Universalist Church, 20401 Hilliard Blvd., Rocky River, and 3 p.m. Sunday, May 17, at Lakeland Community College, 7700 Clocktower Dr., Kirtland.

08 May '26

The Western Reserve Playhouse Presents CRY HAVOC Written by Allan R. Kenward Directed by Abbey Marshall May 22 - 31 Friday’s & Saturday’s at 8:00pm Sunday’s at 2:00pm Hailed as a female Journey’s End, this classic play – the story of nurses serving on the Bataan peninsula in the Philippines during WWII – is a compelling, caustic revelation of human beings under fire. In a makeshift dugout, subjected to gunfire, thirteen very different women emerge to offer a collective reaction to war. These include the strong-minded doctor, her restrained and poised assistant, and the volunteer nurses: a vacuous Southern girl, a swaggering bully, a couple of timid aesthetes, an ex-burlesque performer and the inevitable spy. They get on each other’s nerves, arrest the wrong person for spying, and ultimately confront the real traitor. In the end, they are rescued from their buried dugout – only to face the firing squad. RATED: PG-13 GENRE: Political war drama, play Purchase Tickets: $25 <https://www.thewrp.org/mainstageseason/cryhavoc?neohiopal>Become a Member: $10/month <https://www.thewrp.org/season> More information is available on our website. <https://www.thewrp.org/mainstageseason/cryhavoc?neohiopal> Western Reserve Playhouse is an award-winning theatre of Summit County; housed in a Historic Barn of Ohio. 3326 Everett Rd Richfield, OH 44286 -- This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
