CONVERGENCE-CONTINUUM OPENS ITS 2008 SEASON
WITH THE REGIONAL PREMIER OF MR. MARMALADE, BY NOAH HAIDLE,
OPENING THIS FRIDAY, APRIL 4, AT THE LIMINIS

Lucy is a four-year old girl with a very active imagination.
Unfortunately her imaginary best friend, Mr. Marmalade, doesn’t
have much time for her.  What with his high pressure corporate
job, he can barely pencil her in for a play date anymore. And he’s
so stressed and angry these days.  Then there’s his drug problem.
But the inventive Lucy is determined to make Mr. M play house,
even if it causes unexpected bizarre results and unleashes hilarious
mayhem among her strange collection of both real and imagined family
and friends.

Company member Arthur Grothe, director of last year’s convergence-
continuum hit production of Act a Lady, returns to the helm for
Haidle’s alternately hilarious and heartbreaking satiric twisted
fantasy, MR. MARMALADE,  a wild romp of a savage dark comedy about
what it takes to grow up in these difficult times.

The ensemble cast includes convergence-continuum regulars
Lucy Bredeson-Smith, Geoffrey Hoffman, Tom Kondilas, Wes Shofner,
Lauren B. Smith, Teresa McDonaugh and Stuart Hoffman.

MR. MARMALADE opens Friday, April 4 and runs at 8 p.m. Thursdays,
Fridays and Saturdays through May 3, at the Liminis, 2438 Scranton Rd.,
Cleveland, OH 44113.  Tickets are $15 general admission, $12 for
students and seniors (65+).  For reservations and information call
