"Somebody's Children," opens TONIGHT @ Tri-C Metro!
by Ricky Quintana 05 Mar '25

05 Mar '25

The Cuyahoga Community College School of Creative Arts presents.... Somebody’s Children March 5 – 7 | 7:30 p.m. Metro Campus Studio Theatre ( near 2809 Woodland Ave, Cleveland OH) Admission is FREE! (on a first come, first serve basis). Somebody’s Children , written by José Casas and directed by Ricky Quintana, introduces us to five teenagers who are part of a subculture that isn’t shown or explored in the media in any depth. These kids are homeless, and they, along with their families, stay in a rundown motel known as the El Dorado, one of many such motels in horrific condition in their area of the city. These families live in a world where every day is a challenge, and the idea of home is temporary at best. The teens tell their stories through a series of vignettes that paint a picture of their lives and the cruel realities in which they struggle to survive — all doing so in the shadow of Disneyland: The Happiest Place on Earth. Yet, through it all, this group of friends reminds us that hope can exist in even the harshest conditions. Admission is free. Call 216-987-4535 or email ricky.quintana(a)tri-c.edu for information. Parking is available in Lot #5, located near the theatre.
