Souls of River Yewa 

By Arinola Bejide 

9th grade, Pittsburgh CAPA 

It is said that our souls define who we are. Some souls are designed perfectly for another, some souls are designed to be others, and still others are designed to collect. Embria longs for a child, but her boyfriend, Fela, is too invested in his career as a musician. After learning she is a soul collector from the all-knowing god, Obtala, Embria is transported to another realm where she journeys with a mysterious man on the river Yewa to uncover the truth about who Fela really is. 


Stereotyping 

By Amelia Staresinic 

11th grade, Pittsburgh CAPA 

Roman is the most popular and professional of them all, and ensures his fellow fonts know it. So what happens when a more creative font Sandy, or the mysterious Luci, is chosen over Roman’s tried and true characteristics?

Based on one of Hans Christian Andersen's most beloved stories and the classic animated film,

Disney's The Little Mermaid is a hauntingly beautiful love story for the ages.


Ariel, King Triton's youngest daughter, wishes to pursue the human Prince Eric in the world above, bargaining with the evil sea witch, Ursula, to trade her tail for legs. But the bargain is not what it seems, and Ariel needs the help of her colorful friends, Flounder the fish, Scuttle the seagull and Sebastian the crab to restore order under the sea.


The performance is presented by the students of PMT Conservatory in collaboration with the CAPA Orchestra.
