_CONSTELLATIONS: _FINAL THREE PERFORMANCES THIS THURS-SAT__ ____ AT CONVERGENCE-CONTINUUM - A FASCINATING, ROMANTIC JOURNEY BY NICK PAYNE - _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. “ _Constellations _ is one of con-con’s best stagings. It combines a well-conceived script, superb acting and well-focused directing. It’s a must-see experience!” - _Roy Berko _(Read full review here [1].) _Constellations _is directed by convergence-continuum’s Geoffrey Hoffman and features actors Laurel Hoffman and Max Elinsky, with live music by Bobby Williams. _Constellations _has its final three performances this Thu-Sat at 8 p.m. at convergence-continuum’s Liminis Theater, 2438 Scranton Rd., Cleveland, OH 44113 in the historic Tremont neighborhood.

This rock musical follows a heavy, though thoughtful and endearing story of a family as they endure the struggles of a life that is something next to normal. The show will be directed by Joe Fath and produced by Professor of Theatre Dr. Jerry Jaffe. The performances will take place December 13, 14, 19, 20, 21, 27 and 28 at 7:30 p.m. with three matinees December 15, 22 and 29 at 2 p.m. All performances take place in the C.K. Rickel Theatre in the Fine Arts Building. Under the direction of alumnus, Joe Fath ‘11 and featuring music directed by adjunct faculty Lauren Feola ‘03 and her husband Dr. Francesco Binda, “Next to Normal,” has book and lyrics by Brian Yorkey and music by Tom Kitt. The musical explores how one suburban household copes with crisis and mental illness. It deals with real-life issues and shares a story that speaks to audience members through love, sympathy, and heart with a large helping of dark comedy. “Next to Normal” follows a mother (Abby Kosch) who has a history of battling manic depression, assisted by doctors portrayed by James Mango. Her husband (Tom Greene) would do anything to help his family. Their family also includes a daughter, portrayed by LEC alumna Kate Greene ’18, her boyfriend (Ethan Peterson) and their son, played by LEC student Cameron Zona ’22. “I’ve loved Next to Normal for nearly eight years,” Kate Greene shares. “A gorgeous music score, with an important story to tell—blended with wholesome characters and holistic emotions, makes for a relatable and authentic experience. I hope the combination of this show’s elements encourages the audience to explore how we, as a society, experience our own emotions.” Though it’s not a typical holiday offering, director Joe Fath describes the musical as important and relevant. Holiday-themed refreshments are available during intermission, and audience members are invited to participate in talkbacks with the cast and crew following select performances. “Next to Normal offers an important insight into mental health,” Cameron Zona explains. “That reminds us of a vital resource that empowers love and appreciation—hope.” Next to Normal is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI).
