CONVERGENCE-CONTINUUM PRESENTS _THE OLDEST PROFESSION _BY PAULA VOGEL OPENING FRIDAY, MARCH 23 AT THE LIMINIS THEATER Convergence-continuum presents the Cleveland premiere of _THE OLDEST PROFESSION _by Pulitzer Prize winning playwright Paula Vogel. It’s 1981, the year in which Ronald Reagan is about to enter the White House, and five ageing hookers of quite advanced years are faced with diminishing clientele, increased competition for their niche market and aching joints. The motley crew of ladies – who ply their trade on New York’s Upper West Side -- have been colleagues for decades. With wit, compassion, humor and some really naughty songs, they tell it like it is as they struggle to find and learn new tricks and fight to stay “in the Life” in an era of trickle-down economics. “endearing, gritty and witty”_ _(_DC Theatre Scene_) “warm and funny, bitchy and bright” (_Talkin’ Broadway_) _THE OLDEST PROFESSION _is directed by Amy Bistok, with Music Director /pianist Moss Stanley and Assistant Director/Stage Manager Jonathan Wilhelm. The cast features actors Lucy Bredeson-Smith, Jeanne Madison, Marcia Mandell, Jeanne Task and Valerie Young. _THE OLDEST PROFESSION _opens Fri, Mar 23 and runs Thurs-Sat at 8 pm through Apr 14 at the Liminis Theater, 2438 Scranton Rd, Cleveland 44113 in the historic Tremont neighborhood. Fri & Sat tickets are $20 general admission, $15 seniors (65+), $10 students; Thurs tickets are $15, $12 and $8. _--------------------------------------------------- _ ____ This production_ _is supported in part by the residents of Cuyahoga County through a public grant from Cuyahoga Arts & Culture.

by Myrissa Yokie 15 Mar '18

15 Mar '18

We are looking for several actresses and actors of all ages with improv skills. You don't necessarily need to have done improv in the past but it will be a big part of the show and you will have to show aptitude for it in your audition. A little about the event itself: This is a murder mystery dinner theater fundraiser for the M.S. Society. The show will be performed May 6th at the Eagles Club in Mentor Ohio. The rehearsal schedule and location will depend on the cast. Rehearsals will run throughout the entire month of April and be located in East Lake or farther east to Geneva. Again, depending on cast members availability. It is non paying as all the profits go to the MS Society. It is a great cause. The show is themed around a family reunion. The cast will all be performing various rolls of fanily members in several skits that culminate in a murder which the audience will solve. Many of the actresses and actors will be portraying several characters. There will be a HIGH amount of audience interaction so you must not be afraid to engage with people. We are a fun and easy group to work with. Auditions will be held by appointment March 29 & 30 from 4-6 in East Lake. If you can't make these dates but are interested in auditioning, please contact us and we will try to work something out.

Campers are divided into groups by age where they will spend time preparing plays for performance. They will learn movement and stage blocking, memorize lines, make props and costumes, and have a great time getting into character. In addition, we spend time as a large group playing acting games and learning to work and have fun together. This year we have extended our age range so young teens who are unable to participate in our larger summer musical can still have a MAD* summer! The more the merrier! There will be a final performance of our plays on stage at Oberlin High School for family and friends on the last day of camp, July 6th, in the early evening. All of our dedicated staff strive to provide an encouraging, positive, and noncompetitive atmosphere and we welcome all types of curious young actors who are ready to activate their imaginations
