The Northeast Ohio Master of Fine Arts (NEOMFA) is a unique graduate program that offers a terminal degree in Creative Writing. Each year, convergence-continuum hosts a 2-weekend festival featuring works by students of the program. Each show is given a full production for the playwright to experience their work on stage. Rehearsals will start the second week of January.  Those who have participated in the past can testify that the Festival is an intensive, busy and thoroughly fun experience!  Shows can range from 10-minute shorts to full length.
 
This season will feature 5 works: Two full-length plays and three 10 minute/one act plays.
 
In all, the five plays have at least 24 roles: from younger to older actors, of all genders, races and ethnicities.
