And con-con is the perfect place for Bob: A Life in Five Acts to be heard. the result is hilarious. comic timing is perfect and the brilliant little piece of interpretive dance each actor is asked to perform in the course of the play adds a lovely layer of absurdity. (Bob Abelman, Cleveland Jewish News) If your humor runs the course between outrageous and farcical, this is the perfect show for you. ... It is minimalist theater done to perfection as Bob takes you on a trip you will not forget. (Mark Horning, ASX / Examiner.com) Born and abandoned in the bathroom of a fast food restaurant, Bob energetically embarks on an epic journey across America and encounters a host of larger-than-life oddballs along the way, all struggling to find their own places in the hullaballoo of it all. Will Bob's wacky life ever be able to live up to his dream? BOB is a rip-roaring comedic exploration of the American Dream, the risky pursuit of happiness, and discovering what it means to be truly "great." BOB runs Thu-Sat at 8 pm through Dec 19 (no show on Thanksgiving Day) at the Liminis theater, 2438 Scranton Rd, Cleveland 44113 in the historic Tremont neighborhood. Tickets are $15 general admission, $12 seniors (65+), $10 students. Reservations at http://convergence-continuum.org or 216-687-0074.

by Jack Kilroy via NEohioPAL 24 Nov '15

24 Nov '15

*CONCERT TO BENEFIT IRELAND’S RISE FOUNDATION * *– Helping Irish families with a loved one in addiction* Frances Black, one of Ireland’s most beloved singers since the 1980s, will be joined on stage by Liz Carroll, one of the world’s best Irish fiddlers for a star-studded benefit concert for the Dublin-based RISE Foundation. The Sunday, January 17th concert begins at 7pm at the Music Box Supper Club. Frances Black, a chart-topping, award-winning entertainer, fresh off a successful fall tour of Ireland’s best venues, will sing the songs that made her a household name in Ireland. Liz Carroll, who has earned a Grammy nomination and an All-Ireland championship among her may honors and awards, will exhibit her virtuosity on the fiddle with her original compositions in the Irish tradition. Aoife Scott, an emerging star from Dublin, will sing traditional Irish songs and contemporary Irish music from her newly released CD. Rebecca Brady and Patrick Campbell, veterans of Michael Flatley’s *Lord of the Dance*, will dazzle with their renowned Irish step dancing. The New Barleycorn, Cleveland’s most popular Irish duo, will anchor the show performing favorites with vitality, passion, and a touch of passion. The show is sponsored by Friends of RISE-Ireland, Inc. in cooperation with the Music Box Supper Club. Proceeds benefit the RISE Foundation in support of families in Ireland with a loved one in addiction. The RISE Foundation is a registered charity with its principal office in Dublin, founded by the popular singer Frances Black to support families impacted by a loved one’s addictive behavior. Grateful for her own recovery from alcohol addiction, Frances felt inspired her to set-up a primary care organization that would support family members in their feeling of powerlessness, heartache, stress and anxiety. So she founded The RISE Foundation in 2009. *“The reality of addiction is that it doesn’t just destroy the person, it destroys relationships, self-worth, and the family unit. My philosophy is that it is important for the whole family to step into recovery, addiction is a family disease”* Social Entrepreneurs Ireland (SEI) awarded Frances with a prestigious Social Entrepreneur of the Year award 2010 and 2011. The RISE Foundation also won a Vodafone World of Difference award 2010. The Cleveland benefit concert is one of three being staged for the RISE Foundation with Frances Black and friends also performing shows in New York City on January 14th and in Boston on January 16th. Doors open at 5pm, the show begins at 7pm on Sunday, January 17, 2015 at the Music Box Supper Club, 1148 Main Avenue, Cleveland, Ohio 44113. Tickets start at $35 and are available exclusively at the Music Box Supper Club box office or online at www.musicboxcle.com.
