<font style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);" size="4"><span style="font-family: georgia,serif;">I ushered for this play two weekends ago, and it is definitely a "must see," if you have any interest in womyn, womyn's health issues, Black issues, African issues or HIV/AIDS. If none of these things interest you, then you probably kinda suck. <br>
<br>The play is performed as a series of vignettes by two astounding actresses. Their characters are the two principles and the other people they encounter as they find out that they are HIV positive. So well done; I encourage any and all to attend.<br style="font-family: georgia,serif;">

<br>
</span></font></span></font><font color="black" face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: black;">"Two women. Two
stools. One powerful story. That's all it takes to keep audiences riveted to <i><span style="font-style: italic;">In the Continuum</span></i>. Tony Sias's precise
direction weaves the two different worlds into a moving whole... The realistic,
unsentimental ending packs a wallop." - Fran Heller, Cleveland Jewish News<br>
<br>
"Profoundly affecting... Although there is plenty of pain to go around in
these sadly linked stories, the script also has touches of humor. Director Tony
Sias and his two actors fashion memorable moments in this 85-minute
performance...leaves you wondering when we will ever stop punishing the
victims." - Christine Howey, Cleveland
Scene<br>
<br>
"<i><span style="font-style: italic;">In the Continuum</span></i> is an
excellent script that receives a stellar performance at Cleveland Public
Theatre. This is a play that says much about world conditions and the
international AIDS crisis, in a real and compelling way. It is a must
see!" - Roy Berko, The Times</span></font><font color="black" face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: black;"><br>
<br>
The powerful <i><i><font face="Arial"><span style="font-family: Arial;">In the
Continuum</span></font></i></i> explores the devastating problem of AIDS among
African and African-American women -- a timely and often underexposed topic.
Living worlds apart in South Central, LA and Zimbabwe, two young women
experience a bizarre weekend of darkly comic, life altering revelations. With
two actors playing dozens of roles, <i><i><font face="Arial"><span style="font-family: Arial;">In the Continuum</span></font></i></i> promises to
engage audiences in its story of parallel denials and self-discoveries. <br>

<p><font color="black" face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: black;">This special exhibit was created by The Global
Campaign for Microbicides, an international coalition working to accelerate
access to new HIV prevention options. Microbicides refers to a range of
products that share one common characteristic: the ability to prevent sexual
transmission of HIV and other sexually transmitted infections when applied
topically. The exhibit features an adaptation of "In Her Mother's
Shoes" a photo essay that tells the story of Martha, one of 11 million
AIDS orphans in sub-Saharan Africa and also
provides an overview of microbicide research and development and the global
need for new prevention technologies.</span></font></p>
<p><font color="black" face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: black;">The exhibit will be open 90 minutes before
