THEATER FOOD

Fish Fry-Days Through the month of March and for the first few weeks of April, Prosperity Social Club hosts its fish fry, dubbed Fish Fry-Days, every Friday from 11 a.m. to 2 a.m. The special Lenten menu includes the Big Fish Fry, a seasonal staple that features a generous portion of haddock covered in a fluffy blanket of beer batter and complemented by homemade coleslaw, house tartar sauce and old-school-style mac and cheese. Last year, the event received national attention when the homecooked Big Fish Fry was featured on TV chef Andrew Zimmern’s Delicious Destinations. New this year: Chef Ed Kubitz has added a lemony shrimp piccata pasta to the list of Fish Fry-Day offerings. (Niesel) 1109 Starkweather Ave., 216-937-1938, prosperitysocialclub.com. THEATER

Flanagan’s Wake No one knows grief and mourning like a Catholic, let alone an Irish Catholic. In its fifth year running in Cleveland, Flanagan’s Wake transports the audience to a wake in Ireland where villagers tell tales and sing songs for their dearly departed Flanagan. Finding the humor in life and death, the wake acts as a dark backdrop to an otherwise hilarious show in which alcohol fuels the humorous reminiscing. A sort of tragic Tony ’n’ Tina’s Wedding, the interactive and improvised show engages the entire audience as the guests are treated as the friends and family of the deceased. The show starts at 8 tonight and plays again tomorrow night at 8 at Kennedy’s Theatre. Tickets are $26. (Patrick Stoops) 1501 Euclid Ave., 216-241-6000, playhousesquare.org. SPORTS

Opening Fri, March 24 And Running Thurs-Sat At 8 Pm Through April 15 This darkly humorous fable of an angry man on a rampage through a fantastical wilderness, chronicles the exploits of very angry Santouche as he tries to make sense of his understanding of law and order in a nation of other very angry people. Filled with Wild West and circus sideshow imagery, the action doesn’t unfold in any specific time or place. But all the characters drink from the same poisoned well, which is definitely recognizably American. It might be anytime in the last 70 years, or even – not impossibly – in the next.

At convergence-continuum’s Liminis Theater 2438 Scranton Rd, Cleveland 44113 | in the historic Tremont neighborhood

Tickets $20 general admission, $15 seniors, $10 students at convergence-continuum.org and 216-687-0074

MUSIC

Cleveland Pops Presents I Love a Piano With Tony DeSare Tony DeSare is an up-and-coming singer, composer and piano wiz. Press outlets have compared him to Harry Connick Jr, Michael Bublé and Jamie Cullum. The New York-based musician performs classic American standards but also writes his own music and plays with a swinging piano style. In addition to being a talented player and singer, DeSare has looks and charisma. Tonight at 8 at Severance Hall, he will accompany the Cleveland Pops Orchestra as it runs through tunes from piano legends Elton John, Ray Charles, Billy Joel and more. This will be DeSare’s first live performance in Cleveland. Tickets range from $21 to $95. (Johnny Cook) 11001 Euclid Ave., 216-231-1111, clevelandpops.com.
