THE OHIO PREMIERE OF LIKE I SAY, BY LEN JENKIN OPENS FRI, OCT 14 AT CONVERGENCE-CONTINUUM 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 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! 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 opens Fri, Oct 14 and 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.

Review of "Fun Home" at Playhouse Square
by Bob Abelman via NEohioPAL 07 Oct '16

07 Oct '16

‘Fun Home’ on tour thrives on its creative contrasts Bob Abelman Cleveland Jewish News, The News Herald, The Morning Journal Member, International Association of Theatre Critics “Dad and I both grew up in the same small Pennsylvania town. And he was gay, and I was gay, and he killed himself, and I became a lesbian cartoonist…. Caption – My dad and I were exactly alike. Caption – My dad and I were nothing alike.” These lines from the opening scene of “Fun Home,” the 2015 Tony Award-winning musical that is launching its national tour at Playhouse Square, perfectly sums up the play’s remarkably simple story and the astoundingly complex characters who populate it. It’s this creative juxtaposition of simplicity and complexity, and the heart wrenching and theatrical intriguing moments it produces on stage, that makes this musical such a welcome addition to this season’s lineup of Broadway roadshows.
