SAM SHEPARD'S "TRUE WEST" OPENS THIS FRIDAY, NOV 16 AT CONVERGENCE-CONTINUUM

Our modern American classic for this season, the drama/comedy True West,
explores alternatives that might spring from the demented terrain of the
California landscape. Sons of a desert-dwelling alcoholic and a suburban
wanderer clash over a film script.  Austin, the achiever, is working on a
script he has sold to producer Saul Kimmer.  But Austin’s brother, Lee, a
demented petty thief, drops in. Lee pitches his own idea for a movie to
Kimmer, who then wants Austin to junk his and write Lee's trashy Western
tale instead. The sibling rivalry heats up to the boiling point and the
resulting standoff rivals that of the Old West itself.

True West is directed by convergence-continuum’s Artistic Director, Clyde
Simon, and features an all-star cast of con-con company actors with
Geoffrey Hoffman as Austin, Cliff Bailey as Lee, Robert Hawkes as Saul
Kimmer, and Lucy Bredeson-Smith as Mom.  True West is con-con’s sixth Sam
Shepard production, having presented his plays Buried Child, Action, La
Turista, States of Shock and The Unseen Hand over the course of its eleven
seasons.

True West opens Friday, November 16 and runs at 8 p.m. Fridays and
Saturdays through December 15 at the Liminis, 2438 Scranton Rd.,
Cleveland, OH 44113 in the historic Tremont neighborhood.  Tickets are $15
general admission, $12 for seniors and $10 for students.  For reservations
