OPENING THIS FRIDAY, MARCH 16:  THE HYACINTH MACAW

convergence-continuum opens its 2012 Season with the Ohio premiere of THE
HYACINTH MACAW, a lyrical, beautiful and weirdly comic tale by Mac
Wellman.

The Hyacinth Macaw takes place in Gradual, a quiet American town on the
banks of Bug River.  Ray and Dora are slightly uneasy American parents
raising their precocious teenage daughter Susannah. When a mysterious
stranger, Mr. William Hard, arrives from The Land of Evening with news
that Ray is a "duplicate," “a pneumatic redundancy” and must be replaced,
their entire world is turned upside-down. Mac Wellman's surreal/absurdist
'The Hyacinth Macaw' presents a strange comedy contained inside
a sumptuous linguistic adventure.

'The Hyacinth Macaw' is directed by convergence-continuum Artistic Director,
Clyde Simon, with Assistant Director, Cory Molner, and features company
actors Lucy Bredeson-Smith, Michael Prosen, Michael Regnier, Lauren B. Smith
and Clyde Simon.

The Hyacinth Macaw  opens Friday, March 16 and runs at 8 p.m. Thursdays,
Fridays and Saturdays through April 7 at the Liminis, 2438 Scranton Rd.,
Cleveland, OH 44113.    Tickets are $15 general admission, $12 for seniors
and $10 for students.  For reservations and information visit
