by convergence-continuum via NEohioPAL 29 Jul '16

29 Jul '16

TONIGHT AND TOMORROW ARE YOUR LAST CHANCES TO SEE THE FUNNY AND COMPELLING "HARBOR" AT CON-CON! HARBOR is biting and touching romp into the shifting nature of the meaning of family, as it tells the story of married couple, Kevin and Ted, living in peaceful, affluent domesticity. That is, until Kevins pregnant pothead 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. Family bonds are tested in this alternately hilarious and moving comedy. HARBOR is directed by Cory Molner, and features Cat Kenney, Maya Jones, Patrick Gladish and Gideon-Patrick Lorete. HARBOR has its final two performances tonight (Fri) and tomorrow at 8 pm at the Liminis Theater, 2438 Scranton Rd, Cleveland 44113 in the historic Tremont neighborhood. Tickets are $15 general admission, $12 seniors (65+), $10 students.

Make Manhattan Project Great Again - Meet & Greet
by Manhattan Project via NEohioPAL 29 Jul '16

29 Jul '16

Between 1942 and 1945, J. Robert Oppenheimer gathered the most brilliant minds of the age at Los Alamos, New Mexico to create something awesome and terrible. The Manhattan Project - Cleveland Lab seeks to do the same for the Cleveland stage. Vote for the Lesser of Two Evils! Vote Manhattan Project! America officially crowned its presidential candidates and they're both AWESOME, or they're both TERRIBLE. It depends on who you ask. Instead, why don't you cast your vote for something that is both AWESOME and TERRIBLE!? Vote for Manhattan Project! This August the Manhattan Project <http://facebook.us8.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=24718b1d6d5f7c398165fdc7…> is pleased to introduce two brand new playwrights to our stage,* Nate Taylor* and *Jordan Bray*. We also welcome back our friends *Dan Riordan* and *Peter J Roth*. We need awesome actors to help create some awesome and terrible new plays. Join us for our Meet & Greet <http://facebook.us8.list-manage.com/track/click?u=24718b1d6d5f7c398165fdc7b…> at Mahall's 20 Lanes <http://facebook.us8.list-manage.com/track/click?u=24718b1d6d5f7c398165fdc7b…> in Lakewood <http://facebook.us8.list-manage.com/track/click?u=24718b1d6d5f7c398165fdc7b…> on Wednesday, August 3 at 8:00pm. Performance <http://facebook.us8.list-manage.com/track/click?u=24718b1d6d5f7c398165fdc7b…> will be on Wednesday, August 31 at 8:00pm. What exactly is The Manhattan Project - Cleveland Lab? The Manhattan Project is a low-stakes, nonthreatening place for actors and playwrights to meet and work together. Based on the Theatre Lab model taught at the Carnegie Mellon School of Drama and inspired by The Brooklyn Generator in New York, The Manhattan Project wants to introduce Cleveland actors and playwrights to each other by organizing a bi-monthly production of brand new 10-minute plays. Participating artists will meet early in the month and will be broken into teams, each with one playwright. The playwright will then be given a writing prompt to write a new 10-minute play based on the prompt and including all the team's actors. The rest of the evening the team members will get to know each other and get a feel for each other's skills and voices. The teams will reconvene later in the month to perform these plays for each other. These 10-minute plays are not an end in themselves. Through these small collaborations we hope to build relationships between the two most vulnerable artists in theatre; the actors who put themselves on stage and the playwrights who pour themselves onto the page. Perhaps these 10-minute plays will grow into longer works or maybe these collaborations will become partnerships on larger projects. If you'd like to participate, please RSVP at TrinityCrater(a)gmail.com or introduce yourself at out next event. *Some additional notes on the play lab:* - In the spirit of shoe-string theatre, these 10-minute plays should have a budget of $0.00. - Playwrights will be directing the plays, or an actor from the team can volunteer to do so. - It's up to each team to schedule rehearsals together. Based on experience, it shouldn't take more than 3-4 hours of rehearsal time to get these plays on their feet. - Playwrights are invited in advance of the Meet & Greet. - *Playwrights are invited based on participation in past Manhattan Project events, so please come to our events so we can get to know you!*
