MILK MILK LEMONADE NOW ONSTAGE AT CONVERGENCE-CONTINUUM

MilkMilkLemonade, a comedy by Joshua Conkel that kept opening weekend
audiences in stitches, tells the tale of Emory, an effeminate, fifth-grade
farm boy whose only friend is a giant depressed chicken named Linda.  His
grandmother Nana, who is aghast that her grandson might be a homosexual,
orders him to stop playing with dolls and choreographing dance routines,
and spend more time with the hyper-masculine Elliot, whose interests
include throwing balls, beating up Emory and setting things on fire.

What Nana doesn’t know is that bully-boy neighbor Elliot also enjoys
playing an extremely detailed version of house with Emory, one that
focuses less on homemaking and more on ennui and imaginings of prom (and
some other stuff Nana would definitely not approve of).  A children's play
definitely not for children, MilkMilkLemonade takes a humorous look at
gender, identity, and the need to dream up a world where you can be who
you are.    (Note: All children and animate poultry are played by adults.)

MilkMilkLemonade runs Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m. through
September 8 at the Liminis, 2438 Scranton Rd., Cleveland, OH 44113. 
Tickets are $15 general admission, $12 for seniors and $10 for students.
