CONVERGENCE-CONTINUUM PRESENTS THE OHIO PREMIERE OF TOM AT THE FARM by Michel Marc Bouchard, translated by Linda Gaboriau OPENING THIS FRI, JULY 12 Convergence-continuum presents the Ohio premiere of _Tom at the Farm _by Michel Marc Bouchard, translated by Linda Gaboriau, opening Friday, July 12. This psycho-sexual thriller is the third play in con-con’s 2019 Season: Star-Crossed. Following the accidental death of his lover, urban junior ad executive, Tom, travels from the city to a remote farm in rural Ontario for the funeral. There he finds a religious family who knows nothing of his existence, and is blindsided by his lost boyfriend’s legacy of untruth. The mother is expecting a girlfriend. His dead boyfriend’s brother is hell-bent on preserving a facade of “normalcy.” This causes some pretty humorous moments when Tom’s gal-pal shows up; however, the brother’s obsession also brings him to drag Tom into a twisted and brutal sexually-charged game to coerce Tom into joining the lies, until Tom finally confronts the torment that drove his lover to live in the shadows of deceit. _ _ ____ _ _ _Tom at the Farm _is directed by convergence-continuum’s Tom Kondilas. Members of the acting ensemble are Mike Frye, Daniel McElhany, Laura Starnik and Madelyn Voltz. _Tom at the Farm _opens this Friday, July 12 and 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.

Review of "Chaplin" at Mercury Theatre Company
by Bob Abelman 07 Jul '19

07 Jul '19

Mercury salvages a saccharine ‘Chaplin’ Bob Abelman Cleveland Jewish News, The News Herald, The Morning Journal Three things become abundantly clear while watching Mercury Theater Company’s production of “Chaplin,” the bio-musical about the creator of the Tramp and his epic rise and dramatic fall in silent film-era Hollywood. The first is that the show is a devised star vehicle for the rare performer who can not only act and sing but convincingly emulate Charlie Chaplin’s endearing on-screen persona. Mastering the Tramp’s naiveté, pathos, subtlety and underlying athleticism is a difficult task made even more so by the show’s frequent display of archival film footage of the real Chaplin in action, which provides an immediate and potentially humbling point of comparison. The second and third is that Brian Marshall was born for the role and there is nothing humbling about his portrayal.

Berko review: TINTYPES @ Porthouse
by Roy Berko 06 Jul '19

06 Jul '19

*•••••••••••••••••••••••••••* *CAPSULE JUDGMENT: “Tintypes” is a musical revue which reminds of the desires, values and worth of immigrants. It reinforces the idea of why the less fortunate of the world are willing to risk their very lives in their desire to live the American dream. In its own way, it highlights the present battle over immigration. * *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> *••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••*
