WARREN — “Tetlestai,” a musical passion play produced by Cleveland Performing Arts Ministries and marking its 42nd season, is coming to Champion Christian Church, 151 Center St. W., Warren, the weekend of March 8, 9 and 10.

Tetlestai means “It is finished” and refers to the last words Jesus spoke before his death on the cross. Featuring a cast of more than 100, the dramatic stage production and timeless music bring the story of Christ’s trial, execution and resurrection to life.

Performances are scheduled at 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday, and 2 p.m. Sunday. Doors open one hour before each performance. There is no admission charge; an offering will be taken after each performance. The two-hour presentation includes a short intermission and a reception afterward where audiences can meet and mingle with the cast and crew.

The volunteer cast and crew members devote four months each year to rehearsals and performances and present the play at churches across Northern Ohio. Champion Christian is the only 2019 site in Mahoning, Trumbull, Columbiana and Ashtabula counties. Other performances are scheduled through the Lenten season in Medina, Mentor, Marblehead and at four Cleveland area locations.
