Red A drama by John Logan<http://weathervaneplayhouse.com/red-2016-07-07> Based on the real-life story of the American abstract expressionist painter Mark Rothko, Red reveals the dynamic tension between an artist and his works. The play begins in 1958, just as Rothko has been hired to create a series of enormous murals that will hang in the most exclusive room at the The Four Seasons, an elaborately posh restaurant set to open inside the Seagram Building in Midtown Manhattan. As Rothko prepares his large canvases, he barks orders at his young assistant Ken, and inbetween brushstrokes lectures his young protégé on his uncompromising philosophies of both art and life. But when Ken attains the confidence to challenge his teacher, Rothko must confront the agonizing possibility that his greatest achievement could prove to be his ultimate downfall. Red was first produced by the Donmar Warehouse in London in December 2009. The original production was directed by Michael Grandage and performed by Alfred Molina as Rothko and Eddie Redmayne as his fictional assistant Ken. The production, with its two leads, transferred to Broadway at the John Golden Theater for a limited engagement which began on March 11, 2010 and closed on June 27. It was the 2010 Tony Award winner for Best Play. Additionally, Redmayne won a 2010 Tony Award for Best Performance by a Featured Actor in a Play. Audience Advisory: Due to adult language and themes, this play is not suitable for children.

Final 2 weekends for surreal comedy LIKE I SAY at convergence-continuum
by convergence-continuum via NEohioPAL 25 Oct '16

25 Oct '16

ONLY TWO WEEKENDS LEFT TO SEE FUNNY AND BIZARRE "LIKE I SAY" BY LEN JENKIN AT CONVERGENCE-CONTINUUM LIKE I SAY is an unpredictable, structurally bizarre and strangely comic whirlwind of a play with stories within stories, weird puppet shows, an Alpine zombie resort, and much, much more. A truly wild ride! A writer holed up in a seaside hotel is trying to overcome a tragic accident by teasing a story out of himself. He's joined by a wildly bizarre band of hotel staff and guests (a tattoo artist, a slow-moving handyman, two sinister Russian puppeteers, and the writer’s creation himself: Coconut Joe of Kokomo). The assembled band of misfits brings his weird story to life, while creating a few wild ones of their own. LIKE I SAY is directed by Tyson Douglas Rand, and features actors Robert Branch, Robert Hawkes, Marcia Mandell, August Scarpelli, Linda Sekanic, Clyde Simon, Lauren B. Smith and Logan Smith. LIKE I SAY runs Thurs-Sat at 8 pm through Nov 5 at the Liminis Theater, 2438 Scranton Rd, Cleveland 44113 in the historic Tremont neighborhood. Tickets are $15 general admission, $12 seniors (65+), $10 students. Reservations and information at http://convergence-continuum.org [1]and 216-687-0074. Play Your Part: SAVE THE LIMINIS THEATER. convergence-continuum faces the possibility of losing its artistic home. The Liminis Theater building is slated to be sold at the end of 2016. We're currently in the midst of a fund-raising campaign to buy and secure it for the company for the years to come.
