<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:6pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;">After enduring six years of psychological and
physical terror, seven citizens of a small New Hampshire town stage a revolt
and murder the man who has destroyed them--or do they? Magic realism and pulpy horror-movie conventions collide when the seven
friends conspire to brutally rid their small town of its viciously oppressive
mayor. <i>Massacre</i> is a powerful
depiction of the use of violence as a response to living under a repressive
plutocratic regime, and of our own role in perpetuating the tyranny.</span></p><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-size:11pt;">Massacre </span></i><span style="font-size:11pt;">is directed by convergence-continuum’s
Artistic Director, Clyde Simon, and features actors Wesley Allen, Lucy Bredeson-Smith, Dennis
Burby, Jamal Davidson, Beau Reinker, Kelsey Rubenking, Brian Westerley and Hillary
Wheelock. This will be the fourth José
Rivera play presented by convergence-continuum, having produced in past seasons
<i>Each Day Dies With Sleep, References to Salvador Dali Make Me Hot </i>and <i>Brainpeople.</i></span></p><p></p>
