[NEohioPAL] Opening Friday! Wacky NEIGHBORS at convergence-continuum

[convergence-continuum via NEohioPAL]

WILDLY OUTRAGEOUS “NEIGHBORS” OPENS THIS FRI, JULY 7 AT
CONVERGENCE-CONTINUUM
-Ohio premiere of Neighbors by Branden Jacobs-Jenkins, directed by
Terrence Spivey-

In parts  blackface minstrel show, family drama and tragic farce,
NEIGHBORS takes racial rage head-on in our supposedly
“post-racial” world with shocking, savage humor. This outrageously
provocative and controversial play by MacArthur genius award winner
Branden Jacobs-Jenkins is directed by Terrence Spivey (director of
last year’s con-con production of Bootycandy).

Classics professor Richard Patterson is not happy. The family of black
entertainers that has moved in next door is an embarrassment—loud,
raucous, tacky, shameless and obscene. They’re not just taking over
the neighborhood—they’re infiltrating his perfect, interracial
family and his perfect, post-racial sanity. In its scathing
exploration of denial and  its satire of black entertainment from
blackface minstrelsy to hip-hop, NEIGHBORS is a shocking, explosive,
hilarious and wildly theatrical play.

NEIGHBORS opens THIS Fri, July 7 and runs Thurs-Sat at 8 pm through
July 29 at the Liminis Theater, 2438 Scranton Rd, Cleveland 44113 in
the historic Tremont neighborhood.  Tickets are $20 general
admission, $15 seniors (65+), $10 students.
