THE WORLD PREMIERE OF THE DRAMATIC COMEDY “TEAR IT OFF”
OPENS THIS FRIDAY AT CONVERGENCE-CONTINUUM

Two sisters pass the time by writing a romance novel. But when they invite
their friendly handyman to become their co-author, the line between
reality and fiction blurs.  Their heroine gets stranded on a lonely wooded
island. A dashing pilot joins her when his small plane crashes. A bear
attacks. The
star-crossed lovers dance and make love under the stars. In the process
inhibitions get left behind in a pile on the living room floor, as the
authors
find themselves living the hot and steamy clichés of their book.

The world premiere of Cleveland playwright Mike Geither's TEAR IT OFF is
directed by guest director Karin Randoja, a founding member of Canada's
Primus Theatre and recognized as among Toronto's most innovative and
daring experimental theatre directors.

TEAR IT OFF features con-con company members Lucy Bredeson-Smith, Beau
Reinker and Lauren B. Smith, and newcomer to the Liminis stage, Terence
Cranendonk.

TEAR IT OFF opens this Fri, Aug 14 and runs Thu-Sat at 8 pm through Sept 5
at the Liminis theater, 2438 Scranton Rd, Cleveland 44113, in the historic
Tremont neighborhood. Tickets are $15 general admission, $12 seniors
(65+), $10 students.  Tickets and information at
