[NEohioPAL] CPT presents In the Continuum - 3 more performances! Student tix only $5!

[rebekka willow]

I ushered for this play two weekends ago, and it is definitely a "must see,"
if you have any interest in womyn, womyn's health issues, Black issues,
African issues or HIV/AIDS.  If none of these things interest you, then you
probably kinda suck.

The play is performed as a series of vignettes by two astounding actresses.
Their characters are the two principles and the other people they encounter
as they find out that they are HIV positive.  So well done; I encourage any
and all to attend.

> "Two women. Two stools. One powerful story. That's all it takes to keep
> audiences riveted to *In the Continuum*. Tony Sias's precise direction
> weaves the two different worlds into a moving whole... The realistic,
> unsentimental ending packs a wallop." - Fran Heller, Cleveland Jewish News
>
> "Profoundly affecting... Although there is plenty of pain to go around in
> these sadly linked stories, the script also has touches of humor. Director
> Tony Sias and his two actors fashion memorable moments in this 85-minute
> performance...leaves you wondering when we will ever stop punishing the
> victims." - Christine Howey, Cleveland Scene
>
> "*In the Continuum* is an excellent script that receives a stellar
> performance at Cleveland Public Theatre. This is a play that says much about
> world conditions and the international AIDS crisis, in a real and compelling
> way. It is a must see!" - Roy Berko, The Times
>
> The powerful *In the Continuum* explores the devastating problem of AIDS
> among African and African-American women -- a timely and often underexposed
> topic. Living worlds apart in South Central, LA and Zimbabwe, two young
> women experience a bizarre weekend of darkly comic, life altering
> revelations. With two actors playing dozens of roles, *In the Continuum*promises to engage audiences in its story of parallel denials and
> self-discoveries.

> and other sexually transmitted infections when applied topically. The
> exhibit features an adaptation of "In Her Mother's Shoes" a photo essay that
> tells the story of Martha, one of 11 million AIDS orphans in sub-Saharan
> Africa and also provides an overview of microbicide research and development
> and the global need for new prevention technologies.

> The exhibit will be open 90 minutes before curtain and 60 minutes after
