HARBOR, A COMEDY BY CHAD BEGUELIN, OPENS THIS FRIDAY, JULY 8 AT CONVERGENCE-CONTINUUM. A biting and touching romp into the shifting nature of the meaning of family, HARBOR tells the story of two newlyweds, Kevin and Ted, living in tranquil, affluent domesticity. That is, until Kevins pregnant slacker sister and her precocious teenage daughter show up unannounced at the couples beautiful Sag Harbor home. And then all hell breaks loose. Kevin wants a child. Ted thinks they should be baked into pies and eaten. The bonds between kith and kin are tested in this alternately uproarious and moving comedy. HARBOR is directed by Cory Molner, and features Cat Kenney, Maya Jones, Patrick Gladish and Gideon-Patrick Lorete. HARBOR opens this Fri, July 8 and runs Thurs-Sat at 8 pm through July 30 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 at http://convergence-continuum.org and 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.
