Raves for NEIGHBORS now at convergence-continuum
by convergence-continuum via NEohioPAL 19 Jul '17

19 Jul '17

ONLY TWO WEEKENDS LEFT TO CATCH THE OUTRAGEOUS, SHOCKING, FEARLESS AND HILARIOUS "NEIGHBORS" AT CONVERGENCE-CONTINUUM! “It is as confrontational as a punch to the face.” “...the play is off and running as Jacobs-Jenkins gleefully rips the lids off any and all racial cliches and mealy mouthed rationalizations...” “But outrage is the game that the playwright is most interested in, and the cast under the fearless direction of Terrence Spivey delivers the goods.” “... the riveting Con-Con performances keep it all remarkably engrossing.” (Christine Howey, Scene) Read the full Scene review here [1]. "For those attending the Convergence-Continuum production of Branden Jacobs-Jenkins Neighbors, be prepared to have your theatrical sensibilities tested. This is definitely not a show for the faint of heart." (Mark Horning, AXS) "Jacobs-Jenkins uses visual and verbal images, such as sex acts and explicit sexual language, to provoke the audience. He is an advocate of shocking and creating unsettling feelings to enhance his story telling." (Roy Berko, CoolCleveland) NEIGHBORS runs Thurs-Sat at 8 pm through July 29 at the Liminis Theater, 2438 Scranton Rd, Cleveland 44113 in the historic Tremont neighborhood. Tickets are $20 general admission, $15 seniors (65+), $10 students. Reservations and information at convergence-continuum.org [2] and 216-687-0074. Check out the promo video here [3]. ------------------------------- Neighbors is sponsored in part by the people of Cuyahoga County through a grant from Cuyahoga Arts & Culture. ________________________________ Links: ------ [1] https://www.clevescene.com/cleveland/theres-trouble-afoot-in-neighbors-by-c… [2] http://convergence-continuum.org [3] https://vimeo.com/224167691
