"Tom at the Farm" Great play! No hay!
by convergence-continuum 20 Jul '19

20 Jul '19

_CONVERGENCE-CONTINUUM_ ____ _TOM AT THE FARM_ ____ NO HAY ON THE SET (BUT THERE IS ONE REALLY GREAT PLAY!) In Roy Berko’s recent review of con-con’s production of _Tom at the Farm, _he warned that there were bales of hay on the set that allergy sufferers might be wary of. WRONG! There are bales of straw on set. Big difference! Hay is dried grass and includes the grass “heads” wherein lie the seeds, pollen, etc. Straw, however, consists of only the dried stalks (i.e. stems) of wheat after the seed heads have been removed. Hay is used as animal feed. Straw is used in stalls for animal bedding. For a long time it was also used for filling mattresses and, in fact, still is. (You can go online and find plenty of instructions for making your own straw mattress.) So come on, who would really think we didn’t know any better than to put hay on the set? Some things that Mr. Berko did get right, however, are: “Tom at the Farm ... unfolds with blurred boundaries between lust and brutality, truth and fiction. It blends psychological-thriller elements as it moves toward an unsettling plunge into a nightmare of fear, intolerance and fantasy.” “The con con production is strong.” “The acting is of high quality.” “Kudos to Mike Frye (Tom), Daniel McElhaney (Francis) and Madelyn Voltz (Sara) for nicely texturing their performances. Laura Starnik is exceptional as Agatha” “fulfills the theatre’s mission of “expanding human imagination and extends the conventional boundaries of language, structure, space and performance.” This is the kind of play with sexual overtones and the bizarre that turns on the typical con-con loyalist.” So don’t miss out. Just two more weekends. _Tom at the Farm _runs Thu-Sat at 8 p.m. through August 3 at the Liminis Theater, 2438 Scranton Rd., Cleveland 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 _Tom at the Farm _is supported in part by the residents of Cuyahoga County through a public grant from Cuyahoga Arts & Culture.

Berko review: TOM AT THE FARM @ covergence-continuum
by Roy Berko 20 Jul '19

20 Jul '19

*•••••••••••••••••••••••••••* *Capsule Judgment: “Tom at the Farm” fulfills the theatre’s mission of “expanding human imagination and extends the conventional boundaries of language, structure, space and performance.” This is the kind of play with sexual overtones and the bizarre that turns on the typical con-con loyalist. Overall, in spite of strong production, the play leaves us wanting since we don’t develop strong feelings of connection with any of the characters and the contrived nature of the plot.* *To read the entire review go to: **www.royberko.info* <http://www.royberko.info>*. ** To read the capsule judgements of the other Cleveland reviewers go to: **www.clevelandtheaterreviews.com* <http://www.clevelandtheaterreviews.com> *••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••*

Discounted Industry Tickets for Opening Weekend of Seat of the Pants' SMOKEFALL!
by Craig Joseph 19 Jul '19

19 Jul '19

Seat of the Pants is pleased to offer discounted industry tickets for NE Ohio theatre folk for any of our opening weekend productions of Noah Haidle's SMOKEFALL - August 2nd at 8 PM, August 3rd at 8 PM, and August 4th at 2 PM at Ensemble Theatre in Cleveland Heights To purchase your tickets and claim the $3 discount, use the code INDUSTRY at check-out at smokefall.eventbrite.com. "If Thornton Wilder had dropped acid, he might have written *Smokefall." *This is the way that Robert Hofler of *Variety* described Noah Haidle's very fine play, the final production of Seat of the Pants' 2018-2019 season. Magic realism collides with manic vaudeville in this family drama with a chewy metaphysical core. With a nod to *Our Town,* a man named Footnote acts as our guide for the evening. In vitro, twin boys discuss philosophy while awaiting their birth. Their sister, Beauty eats dirt and doesn’t speak, and Father is about to drive away and never return, leaving pregnant and dreamy Mother alone to live out Grandfather’s notion that “every love story is a tragedy, because its ending is built into its beginning.” And that’s just the first act. Whipping from astonishing tenderness to profound humor and back again, this wholly original play uncovers the extraordinary family connections that span and warp across the years and generations, but can never quite be broken. SMOKEFALL stars Andrew Gorell*, Heidi Swinford, Aaron Brown, Kelly Strand, and Bob McCoy. Elizabeth Cammett stage manages. Craig Joseph directs. (denotes member of Actors' Equity).
