BOOTYCANDY opens March 25 at convergence-continuum
by convergence-continuum via NEohioPAL 03 Mar '16

03 Mar '16

BOOTYCANDY OPENS FRIDAY, MARCH 25. HILARIOUS, OUTRAGEOUS, SUBVERSIVE SATIRE! convergence-continuum opens the 2016 season with the regional premiere of the outrageous, in-your-face satire Bootycandy by Robert OHara, directed by Terrence Spivey. Bootycandy takes a fearless and subversive look at attitudes toward homosexuality in African-American culture in a range of ribald (nudity alert), disturbing, heartwarming and downright hilarious scenes. Bootycandy, which completed a highly successful off-Broadway run in 2014, is a semi-autobiographical, raucous, hilarious and decidedly un-politically-correct satire that tells the story of Sutter, who is on an outrageous odyssey from the 1970's to the present through his childhood home, his church, dive bars and even a nursing home (plus many more) in a wild series of scenes, sermons and daring meta-theatrics that link up to portray his growing up gay and black in modern America. Bootycandy is directed by guest director Terrence Spivey and features actors Wesley Allen, India Nicole Burton, Rochelle Jones, Michael May and Nate Miller. Bootycandy opens Fri, March 25 and runs Thu-Sat at 8 pm through April 16 at the Liminis Theater, 2438 Scranton Rd, Cleveland 44113 in the historic Tremont neighborhood. Facilitated talk-backs will be held on Fridays, April 1, 8, 15. Tickets are $15 general admission, $12 seniors (65+), $10 students, except for closing night Sat, April 16 which will be a Save the Liminis Theater benefit night, with tickets at $50 for the show and after-party with the cast and crew. ($35 for season passholders.) Reservations and info at convergence-continuum.org or 216-687-0074. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This production is supported in part by the residents of Cuyahoga County through a public grant from Cuyahoga Arts & Culture, and by the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation.
