[NEohioPAL] convergence's ACT A LADY a must-see, says PD's Tony Brown

[csimon at convergence-continuum.org]

"The uproarious "Act a Lady" is everything --everything-- theater always
has the potential to be but so seldom is.  With it, convergence-continuum,
one of the smallest theaters in Cleveland, does what big theaters have not
in the first weeks of the new theater season:  produce must-see stuff." 
(Tony Brown, Plain Dealer)

ACT A LADY by Jordan Harrison is convergence-continuum's current
production at the intimate Liminis theater in Tremont.  In it we visit the
Elks Club of a small Midwestern town in 1927, where the menfolk decide to
put on play dressed in "fancy-type, women-type clothes."  Really fancy! 
Like Marie-Antionette-era fancy, complete with big powdered wigs and
frilly dresses.  When the men don the lacies it causes an uproar among the
God-fearing citizens of the town as gender lines blur, eyebrows raise,
indentities explode, and life and art are forever entangled.

It's fast-paced, campy fun with "depths of emotion that are unexpected in
a farce."  (Tony Glassman in the current Gay People's Chronicle now on
newsstands)  It's "a valentine to theatre, and how it transforms even the
unlikeliest folks."  (Linda Eisenstein, CoolCleveland.com)
