AFTER THE BLAST opens March 31st at convergence-continuum
by Cory Molner 23 Mar '23

23 Mar '23

Convergence-continuum begins it’s 2023 season with AFTER THE BLAST by Zoe Kazan. Generations ago, humans retreated deep underground after an environmental disaster ruined the world above. Nature is now simulated through brain-implanted chips, and fertility is regulated to keep the surviving population in balance. Anna and Oliver want to have a baby, and their options are running out. “[Kazan has] created a slyly detailed alternate universe that is both an extrapolation of the world we know today and its own consistent entity.” —NY Times. “…sharp, stirring…incisive and humane…AFTER THE BLAST has the smart, fully fleshed- out trappings of a compelling dystopia story, but its heart—and its strength—is its examination of despair…AFTER THE BLAST’s brilliance lies in its use of science fiction’s black mirror to cast light on human betrayals both global and personal. Its shattered world is ours…” —NY Magazine. “…an intriguing, engaging, and laugh-laced philosophical discourse with heart…” —Huffington Post. “[Kazan is] a playwright…of uncommon talent…[AFTER THE BLAST] pulls off the bedazzling feat of taking a hyper-politicized topic and using it as the occasion for a taut, sermon-free drama whose true subject is the inability of men and women to see each other plain…The true star of AFTER THE BLAST…is its creator. Kazan has emerged as a writer of real individuality.” —Wall Street Journal. After The Blast opens Friday, March 31 and runs Thu-Sat at 8 p.m, through April 22 at convergence-continuum’s Liminis Theater, 2438 Scranton Rd., Cleveland, OH 44113 in the historic Tremont neighborhood. Tickets are $23 general admission, $18 for seniors and $18 for students. Tickets and information are available at www.convergence-continuum.org and 216- 687-0074.

Grants Enable Experimental Theater Productions
by Kristen Jones 23 Mar '23

23 Mar '23

Venturous Theater Fund's Venturous Capital Grants support the production of venturous new plays at small and medium-sized theaters in the United States. Grants support text-based, author-driven new plays that are challenging in form, controversial in subject matter, ambitious in scale or scope, unabashedly theatrical, or experimental in concept. Funding is provided for extraordinary costs that are integral to the plays' production, and which might otherwise make them difficult or impossible to produce. Funded productions must be produced in the United States by a small or medium-sized nonprofit (or fiscally sponsored) theater, offer reasonable compensation to the author, be produced under an AEA collective bargaining agreement with a minimum of two performers employed on an AEA contract, and be full productions open to the general public for a run of at least 13 performances. Grants range from $5,000 to $30,000, with grants above $25,000 awarded only in extraordinary circumstances. Letters of inquiry are reviewed twice a year; the 2023 deadlines are June 1 and December 1. Visit the Fund's website Venturous Capital Grants (venturoustheaterfund.org) to review the requirements for the Venturous Capital Grants.
