CONVERGENCE-CONTINUUM TO OPEN WORDS & WEIRDS: A CONVERGENCE OF TWO ONE-ACTS
THIS FRIDAY, OCTOBER 29 AT THE LIMINIS IN TREMONT

Note: Our opening night performance is sold out.  Seats for the rest of the
run are available and filling up fast.  Reserve your tickets now!

On October 29, Tremont=B9s resident theatre company, convergence-continuum,
will present Words & Weirds: A Convergence of Two One-Acts, the final
production of their raucous 2004 season. The company will present two
one-act plays, Tone Clusters by Joyce Carol Oates, and Whirligig by Mac
Wellman, who wrote convergence-continuum=B9s boisterous 2003 productions of
Cleveland, 7 Blowjobs and Sincerity Forever.

In Tone Clusters, Frank and Emily just want everyone to know the truth abou=
t
their son. But what is that truth? What determines who we are, or who we
will become? Is it in the circuitry of the human brain? Memory? Random
chance? The all-pervasive Media?  Guest artist Douglas L. Snyder directs
Lucy Bredeson-Smith, Executive Director Brian Breth and Artistic Director
Clyde Simon in this dissection of identity.

In Whirligig, a young girl=B9s bus trip is interrupted by an encounter with a
strange man from another galaxy.  Why does this strange man want to stay on
Earth?  What is the secret of this ornery girl=B9s happiness?  Why does her
persistent sister berate her so?  And where have all the buses gone?
Artistic Director Clyde Simon directs the ensemble cast which includes Amy
Bistok, Sean Booker, Lisa Bradley, Executive Director Brian Breth, Sheila
O=B9Toole and Jessica Rubin as they discover more weirdness than answers in
this jaunt into rivalry, trickery and song.

Words & Weirds opens Friday, October 29 and runs Thursdays, Fridays, and
Saturdays through November 20 at the Liminis, 2438 Scranton Rd. in
Cleveland's historic Tremont neighborhood.  Our Friday, October 29
performance is sold out.  All performances of Words & Weirds begin at 8 pm.
Tickets are $12 for general admission and $9 for students and seniors.
Seating for this production is limited. For information and reservations,
