con-con seeking Stage Manager for DEATH CRUISE 2020
by Cory Molner 11 Apr '25

11 Apr '25

convergence-continuum is looking for a Stage Manager for our June 2025 world premiere Production of DEATH CRUISE 2020 by Christopher Johnston, directed by Alison Garrigan. The Show opens June 6th and runs through the 28th, with rehearsals beginning at the end of April. Further details below: *Production Dates: * Thursday through Saturday June 6th through June 28th at 7:30 PM (one sunday performance June 15th at 3PM) No conflicts will be accepted for tech week or performances. *About the show:* Passengers aboard the cruise ship Halcyon Daze find themselves trapped at sea when the "unknown pneumonia" infecting the public is discovered to be a new virus called COVID-19. As it rapidly spreads, survivors find themselves either quarantined in their cabins, or free to roam the ship--at their own risk. To ease the rising tension, the ship's Captain orders one of its medical staff, Achebe, to form a grief group for passengers. Those who join include Ghost, a Vietnam veteran; Lorena, a woman trying to recover from personal trauma; Juanita, who wrestles with her faith; Ricky, a young man who is obsessed with 70's rock music; and Nick, a stand-up comic who also serves as the ship's Cruise Director. They don't know when they can escape the shipboard corona chaos that ensues, when they will ever set foot on dry land, and why they are all having intense dreams inhabited by scary puppets. But as they say, "Bon Voyage!" *convergence-continuum:* located at 2438 Scranton Rd. Cleveland OH 44113 Interested individuals should email cmolner(a)convergence-continuum.org and include a relevant resume. -- Cory Molner Executive Artistic Director convergence-continuum cmolner(a)convergence-continuum.org 216-308-9375 He/him (what this? <https://pronouns.org/>)

"[The Body Play] accurately portrays the exhaustion, frustration, angst, guilt and moments of hope that those of us with chronic, invisible illnesses experience on a daily basis. Cleveland Public Theatre's world premiere production is a fine example of how theater can act as an emotional and intimate vehicle in which we can explore unique versions of the human experience." -Cleveland Scene "Wetzell's post-COVID play speaks volumes in 2025..."-Dr. Yuko Kurahashi "Impactful." "Beautiful." "Important." "Astonishing." "Life-changing." "[In my] top 10 out of 10,000 shows"-Audience Members About the Play Amy, and Amy's body, take us through a physically comedic journey through chronic illness, unresponsive medical personnel, and an unstable healthcare system while questioning the absurdity of being embodied and what it might mean to be a body.
