Filled with Wild West and circus sideshow imagery, the action doesn’t unfold in any specific time or place. But all the characters drink from the same poisoned well, which is definitely recognizably American. It might be anytime in the last 70 years, or even – not impossibly – in the next.</span></p><p style="margin:0px;padding:0px;font-family:'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif;font-size:13px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255);"></p><p class="yiv2589244009MsoNormal" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1489791426633_53583" style="margin:0px 0px .0001pt;padding:0px;font-family:'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif;font-size:13px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255);"><span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:18.4px;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:12pt;"> </span></p><p class="yiv2589244009MsoNormal" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1489791426633_53589" style="margin:0px 0px .0001pt;padding:0px;font-family:'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif;font-size:13px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255);"><i><span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:18.4px;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;">Harm’s Way </span></i><span id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1489791426633_53588" style="font-size:12pt;line-height:18.4px;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;">is directed by convergence-continuum’s Artistic Director, Clyde Simon, and features actors Wesley Allen, Robert Branch, Gideon Lorete, Joseph Milan, Michael Regnier, Beau Reinker, Brian Westerley, Hillary Wheelock, Carrie Williams and Monica Zach.
