The Royalton Players' teen and student shows will be held for a two-weekend run beginning May 11.

Three short plays including "Teen Angel", "How to Succeed in High School Without Really Trying" and "The Skokie Detective Charter School" involve about 30 students and teens in the North Royalton and Strongsville areas.

"It is such an enjoyment to see all the young talent we have in the area," said Mary Manos-Mitchem, who is directing the three short plays. "These kids are a great bunch to work with. They are energetic and excited to learn new things and not afraid to step out of their comfort zone."

Manos-Mitchem has been involved in a variety of productions with the Royalton Players including performing on stage and working back stage, but this is her first time directing a show.

"Working with a wide variety of ages from six to 20 helps me become a better director," Manos-Mitchem said. "They push me as much as I push them. Come out and see the three wonderful, cute, funny and entertaining plays that these kids and teens have put together for you."

The play runs May 11, 12, 18 and 19 at 8 p.m. Two Sunday matinees are scheduled for May 13 and 20 at 3 p.m. Tickets are $10 for adults and $8 for students. Seniors and moms receive $2 off the adult ticket price on Mother's Day, May 13.

The productions will be held at the Altenheim Community Center, which is located at 18533 Shurmer Road, Strongsville. For reservations or additional information contact the Royalton Players box office line at 440-877-0009 or visit our website at www.royaltonplayers.com.
