	CONVERGENCE-CONTINUUM PRESENTS _THE OLDEST PROFESSION _BY PAULA VOGEL

	OPENING FRIDAY, MARCH 23 AT THE LIMINIS THEATER

	 

	Convergence-continuum presents the Cleveland premiere of _THE OLDEST
PROFESSION _by Pulitzer Prize winning playwright Paula Vogel.  It’s
1981, the year in which Ronald Reagan is about to the White House, and
five hookers of advanced age (50’s-70’s) are faced with a
diminishing clientele, increased competition for their niche market,
and aching joints. The motley crew of ladies – who ply their trade
on New York’s Upper West Side -- have been colleagues for decades. 
With wit, compassion, humor, and some pretty naughty songs, they
struggle to find and learn new tricks as they fight to stay in “the
Life” in an era of trickle-down economics.
