Romantic journey CONSTELLATIONS opens Fri, Dec 6 at convergence-continuum
by convergence-continuum 24 Nov '19

24 Nov '19

_CONSTELLATIONS _OPENS FRIDAY, DEC 6 AT CONVERGENCE-CONTINUUM - A FASCINATING, ROMANTIC JOURNEY BY NICK PAYNE - Convergence-continuum presents the Ohio premiere of _Constellations, _by Nick Payne. This fascinating, romantic journey begins with a simple encounter between a man and a woman. But what happens next challenges the boundaries of the world we think we know – probing the infinite possibilities of their relationship and raising questions about the difference between choice and destiny. _Constellations _follows Roland, a beekeeper, and Marianne, a theoretical astronomer, through their romantic relationship. Marianne waxes poetic about cosmology, quantum mechanics, string theory and the concept of multiple universes pulling people’s lives in various directions, and the play itself takes the pair’s story through the stars to alternative realities where anything can happen – and does. “Who knew that higher physics could be so sexy, so accessible – and so emotionally devastating? _Constellations _, Nick Payne’s gorgeous two-character drama may be the most sophisticated date play Broadway has seen.” - _The New York Times _ ____ _Constellations _is directed by convergence-continuum’s Geoffrey Hoffman and features actors Laurel Hoffman and Max Elinsky, with live music by Bobby Williams. _Constellations _opens Friday, Dec 6 and runs Thu-Sat at 8 p.m. through Dec 21 at convergence-continuum’s 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 and 216-687-0074. ------------------------------- Convergence-continuum’s production of _Constellations _is supported in part by the residents of Cuyahoga County through a public grant from Cuyahoga Arts & Culture.

You’ve survived another Thanksgiving with the family – thanks to copious amounts of alcohol, hiding in the basement, and avoiding all conversations with Uncle Rick. You deserve a night out! Join Michael Busch & friends for a night of stand up, sketches, music, and other nonsense as we settle into the home stretch of Holiday Season. Featuring… Bill Squire (The Alan Cox Show) Dana Quercioli (Second City Chicago) Hannah Corrigan Flamingo City Dave Flynt Galina Rivina And special musical guest… Liz Kelly from The Village Bicycle *Michael Busch* grew up in Mentor, Ohio, and spent 15 years working as an actor, writer, and producer in Los Angeles. You may recognize him as the Sprint Guy from those omnipresent Alltel commercials awhile back; his other TV credits include Adam Ruins Everything <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D8QcRWS9h-M&feature=youtu.be>, The Goldbergs, Glee, The Middle, Human Giant <https://youtu.be/GsgQ44_uFW4>, and recurring sketches on Conan <https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAcWQCkAetar-Yp_XFsANHuzML-16oqcr>. When in LA he is a regular performer at The Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre; in Cleveland he produces and performs in various sketch and improv shows around town and also teaches classes. For more information please visit: https://www.themichaelbusch.com/ *Bill Squire* is a comedian and the co-host of The Alan Cox Show on 100.7 WMMS The Buzzard in Cleveland that has thousands of listeners/viewers across the country on iHeartRadio and YouTube. Bill has 4 albums that have millions of streams across Pandora, Spotify, Apple Music, and reached number 1 on iTunes comedy charts. Bill has appeared in Laughs on FOX and Hulu. Bill’s comedy touches on his life as a step parent, divorce, dating, and leaving the Mormon church in his early 20’s. *Dana Quercioli *Originally from Cleveland, Dana started her career at Cabaret Dada Improvisational Theater, and then moved on up to be in the inaugural mainstage cast of The Second City Cleveland. Since Dana loves live comedy, long car rides, and being grossly underpaid, the only logical choice for her was to tour with The Second City Touring Company as a member of RedCo, the very best company in the world. She was lucky enough to visit forty-eight states and four countries outside the U.S. with, please believe, the best cast members anyone could ever ask for. But all good things must come to an end, which is why she spent, like, ten more years working with and for The Second City as a writer, performer and teacher. -- For class information please visit: https://www.themichaelbusch.com/classes
