CONVERGENCE-CONTINUUM PRESENTS THE REGIONAL PREMIERE OF THE CHILLING
"A MAP OF VIRTUE," OPENING THIS FRIDAY, JULY 20.

convergence-continuum continues its 2014 Season with Erin Courtney’s 2012
Obie Award-winning play A MAP OF VIRTUE.  Part interview, part comedy,
part middle-of-the-night terror, A MAP OF VIRTUE is a perfectly
symmetrically-structured play guided by a tiny bird statue.

Though it begins as a quirkily humorous rumination on chance and symmetry,
Ms. Courtney's drama alters into a tense and enigmatic exploration of
obsession, attachment, isolation and the murky middle of the night – when
bad things sometimes happen.  An unlikely friendship develops between Mark
and Sarah when he gives her a small bird statue during a chance encounter.
Although inextricably linked, they remain strangers until they are forced,
along with Sarah's husband Nate and Mark’s boyfriend Victor, to share a
frightening weekend in a cabin deep in the woods that derails into a
quiet, pitiless nightmare.

A MAP OF VIRTUE is directed by convergence-continuum’s Artistic Director,
Clyde Simon, and features company actors Lucy Bredeson-Smith, Robert
Hawkes, Mike Majer, Jack  Matuszewski and Eric Sever and newcomers to the
Liminis stage Kat Bi and Logan Smith.

A MAP OF VIRTUE opens this Friday, June 20 and runs at 8 pm, Thursdays,
Fridays and Saturdays through July 12 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.  Reservations and
information are available at http://www.convergence-continuum.org or by
calling 216-687-0074.
