*ENSEMBLE THEATRE* CONCLUDES ITS 2016-17 *MAINSTAGE SEASON* *THE CLEVELAND TICKET * with the *CLEVELAND PREMIERE *of: *THE NORTH POOL* *by Cleveland's own* * RAJIV JOSEPH* *Directed by CELESTE COSENTINO. * Khadim has no idea why he's been called into the office of Dr. Danielson, the Vice Principal at Sheffield High. At first, Danielson is cagey, using a minor violation to keep the boy at school for detention. But as tension mounts, Danielson alternately plays good cop and bad, and winds up catching Khadim in a series of lies about crimes he may (or may not) have committed. In The North Pool, this riveting psychological thriller, a high-school vice principal and a Middle Eastern–born transfer student engage in a politically and emotionally charged game of cat and mouse, with dangerous consequences. *"Joseph has a gift for penetrating to the depths of human nature. As he explores the question of guilt—in all its forms, for all its reasons—there's barely a wasted word." -Boston Globe.* *APRIL 28th-MAY 21st. * *Fridays & Saturdays* @8pm. *Sundays* @2pm. *Opening night reception (4/28) with chocolate covered strawberries*! *With a great CAST of CLEVELAND ACTORS:* *David Vegh* **as Dr. Danielson* *Santino Montanez **as Khadim * *Tickets $12-$24*. *Senior, Student, & Group discounts. * *-Special BOGO for opening weekend (does not include Saturday the 29th). * *-Pay What YOU Can performance Sunday April 30th. * *Special Benefit Performance on Saturday April 29th.
