GRACE BY CRAIG WRIGHT OPENS FRI., JUNE 29
AT CONVERGENCE-CONTINUUM

convergence-continuum continues its 2012 Season with the Ohio premiere of
GRACE, a darkly comic, eerily tragic, sometimes hilarious, wholly timely
play. It dives headfirst into questions of faith and religion (not
necessarily the same thing at all). This is the third play in
convergence-continuum’s three-play series “Cosmic Conundrums Curiously
Considered.”* Each play in the series deals with big issues (our place in
the universe, relationship to the infinite, is anyone out there, existence
itself) in a different, cutting-edge, engaging manner:  from the dense
linguistic gymnastics of poet/playwright Mac Wellman’s The Hyacinth Macaw,
to the camp hilarity of Buddy Thomas and Kenneth Elliott’s Devil Boys from
Beyond, to Craig Wright’s space/time-bending dark comedy Grace.

Grace is a tragicomedy that explores human assumptions about how God,
goodness, faith and causality operate in the cosmic machinery.  A devoutly
Christian couple is on the brink of a huge Florida real estate deal worth
millions. But as the business deal starts to fray around the edges, their
faith begins to unravel as well. Throw in a reclusive NASA engineer and a
bug-obsessed German caretaker, and you've got a darkly funny, sometimes
serious and definitely provocative play about where we choose to place our
faith.

Grace is directed by converge-continuum company member, Geoffrey Hoffman
and features actors Doug Kusak, John Busser, Laurel Hoffman and Clyde
Simon.

Grace  opens Friday, June 29 and runs at 8 p.m. Thursdays, Fridays and
Saturdays through July 21 at the Liminis, 2438 Scranton Rd., Cleveland, OH
44113.  Tickets are $15 general admission, $12 for seniors and $10 for
