CONVERGENCE-CONTINUUM HOSTS SATIRIC PRESIDENTIAL DEBATES, A HERITAGE OF
 TRADITION: THE ALLEMAN/TRAENKER DEBATES OF 08’FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 22nd
 AT THE LIMINIS IN TREMONT

 As if election season were not absurd enough for you Ohio constituents,
we are proud to host local playwright and performer Eric Alleman and
 poet and performer Nick Traenkner as they duke it out podium-style for
 the coveted office of THE President of the United States. This
 moderated event will feature actual presidential debate questions that are
 randomly asked to candidates for answer and rebuttal and will deliver the
 kind of lyrical, absurd, funny and poignant pieces of art we wish some
 of our actual candidates could muster.

This celebrated duo had previously performed as a part of the POETIX
 event at Cleveland Public Theatre during the mid-term elections to a
 fantastic reception and is sure to be a fine precursor to the March
 Primary.

The evening will begin with a raffle for political memorabilia: An
 American Flag, Old Granddad Whiskey, etc
Pre-show music will be performed
 by Youngstown area political singer/songwriter Jacob Harver.  Join us
 for a wine and cheese meet-and-greet with the nominees after.

A Heritage of Tradition: The Alleman/Traenker Debates of 08’ will
 begin at 8pm, Friday, February 22nd and Saturday, February 23rd at the
 Liminis, 2438 Scranton Rd. in Cleveland's historic Tremont neighborhood.
 Tickets are $12 for general admission and $9 for students. For
 information and reservations, call 216-687-0074 or reserve tickets on the
