[NEohioPAL] Opening Friday! VALPARAISO

[convergence-continuum]

CONVERGENCE-CONTINUUM KICKS OFF ITS TENTH SEASON WITH THE OHIO PREMIERE OF
VALPARAISO BY DON DELILLO, OPENING THIS FRIDAY, MARCH 18

What's up with our freaky fascination with people who do stupid,
outrageous or awful things, and turning them into media sensations? 
That's what we'll be taking a searingly comic and wickedly dark look at
with VALPARAISO by Don DeLillo, opening this weekend at
convergence-continuum.

The Chicago Sun Times caled VALPARAISO "disamingly poetic, wickedly funny,
surprisingly voluptuous and erotic."

Michael Majeski boards a plane on a routine business trip to Valparaiso,
Indiana, but through a succession of blunders ends up in Valparaiso,
Chile.  In a series of intense and often surreal press, radio and TV news
interviews, he tries to establish his identity as he moves from being a
humorous media curiosity to a national media celebrity, until he reaches
the big-time: the tell-all daytime talk show!  Here nothing remains
unseen, and personal secrets, no matter how intimate, are fair game.

Valparaiso  opens Friday, Mar. 18 and runs at 8 p.m. Thursdays, Fridays
and Saturdays through Apr. 16 at the Liminis, 2438 Scranton Rd.,
Cleveland, OH 44113 in the historic Tremont neighborhood.  Tickets are $15
general admission, $12 for seniors (65+) and $10 for students.
Reservations and information are available at 216-687-0074 and
