Homos, or Everyone in America opens Fri, Oct 18 at convergence-continuum
by convergence-continuum 08 Oct '19

08 Oct '19

_HOMOS, OR EVERYONE IN AMERICA_ OPENS FRIDAY, OCT 18 AT CONVERGENCE-CONTINUUM Convergence-continuum continues its 2019 Season, “Star-Crossed,” with the Ohio premiere of _Homos, or Everyone in America, _by Jordan Seavey, directed by Clyde Simon. Unfolding like jumbled snippets of memory, _Homos, or Everyone in America_ is told through interweaving glimpses, jumping around among moments over a five year period in the relationship of a contemporary couple. What does it mean to be in a committed relationship? Is monogamy just monotony? If navigating this isn’t complicated enough, what can happen when, on top of everything else, the couple is unexpectedly confronted by a vicious hate crime? _Homos_ is a fearless, often funny, openly emotional examination of the moments that can bring two people together – or pull them apart. “A daringly frank, funny and affecting new play. Mr. Seavey’s portrait of young gay New Yorkers negotiating the sometimes thorny nature of love and intimacy has an arresting, even bruising honesty.” -The New York Times “Seavey is dealing with very large ideas that have bedeviled the gay ‘community’ – and everybody else – forever. “ -New York Magazine _Homos _is directed by convergence-continuum’s Artistic Director, Clyde Simon. Members of the cast are Nate Homolka, Kieron Cindric, Corey East and Rocky Encalada. _Homos, or Everyone in America _opens Friday, Oct 18 and runs Thu-Sat at 8 p.m. through Nov 9 at the Liminis Theater, 2438 Scranton Rd., Cleveland, OH 44113 in the historic Tremont neighborhood. Fri and Sat tickets are $20 general admission, $15 for seniors and $10 for students. Thurs tickets are $15 gen. admission, $12 seniors and $8 students. Tickets and information are available at convergence-continuum.org [1] and 216-687-0074. ------------------------------- Convergence-continuum’s production of _Homos, or Everyone in America _is supported in part by the residents of Cuyahoga County through a public grant from Cuyahoga Arts & Culture.
