WORLD PREMIERE OF_ THE KNIFE IS MONEY, THE FORK IS LOVE _BY JONATHAN WILHELM OPENS FRIDAY, DECEMBER 2 AT CONVERGENCE-CONTINUUM Convergence-continuum concludes its 2016 Season with the world premiere of Cleveland playwright Jonathan Wilhelm’s noir comedy mystery thriller, _THE KNIFE IS MONEY, THE FORK IS LOVE. _ It's 1932, and Tobias, a young man enamored with radio serials and pulp fiction, receives a puzzling package which leads him on a danger-filled search for the members of a secret society. In the theater, meanwhile, a group of confused and contentious actors struggle to provide historical context (or not) and work with the audience to solve Tobias’ Depression-era enigma. Confusion, and much comedy, ensues as both the characters and actors try to untangle this mysterious and thrilling tale for us. _THE KNIFE IS MONEY... _is directed by Geoffrey Hoffman, and features actors Amy Bistok Bunce, Lucy Bredeson-Smith, Rob Branch and David Thonnings. _THE KNIFE IS MONEY... _opens Fri, Dec 2 and runs Thurs-Sat at 8 pm through Dec 17 at the Liminis Theater, 2438 Scranton Rd, Cleveland 44113 in the historic Tremont neighborhood. Tickets are $15 general admission, $12 seniors (65+), $10 students.

Sad news about John Michael Regan
by mary faktor via NEohioPAL 22 Nov '16

22 Nov '16

Very sad news to the acting community...My heart is breaking. My long time friend, John Michael Regan, passed away today after his challenge with cancer. I had been in constant communication with John during our nightly long distance game of Word Streak. He stayed in our guest room whenever he visited Cleveland, kept Mike and I up til all hours with his storytelling, and took me to my first Vietnamese restaurant the night we went to Cabaret Dada. Our last outing was to our local Mexican restaurant followed by a trip downtown to see Flanagan's Wake. I had nagged John for many years to write his amazing spirit-filled life adventures into a book, and he has been sending me chapters me this past month. Through the years, John helped countless people heal their addictions with his wisdom and support. He left me a very touching voicemail two weeks ago, which I will later with Sheila's permission. I will miss him very much. Sent from my iPhone Mary Faktor (SAG-AFTRA, GSF, NSA) Www.MaryFaktor.com 216-470-5132 FaktorTheActor(a)yahoo.com
