TEAR IT OFF now onstage at convergence-continuum
by convergence-continuum via NEohioPAL 19 Aug '15

19 Aug '15

THE WORLD PREMIERE OF THE DRAMATIC COMEDY TEAR IT OFF NOW ONSTAGE AT CONVERGENCE-CONTINUUM Two sisters pass the time by writing a romance novel. But when they invite their friendly handyman to become their co-author, the line between reality and fiction blurs. Their heroine gets stranded on a lonely wooded island. A dashing pilot joins her when his small plane crashes. A bear attacks. The star-crossed lovers dance and make love under the stars. In the process inhibitions get left behind in a pile on the living room floor, as the authors find themselves living the hot and steamy clichés of their book. The world premiere of Cleveland playwright Mike Geither's TEAR IT OFF is directed by guest director Karin Randoja, a founding member of Canada's Primus Theatre and recognized as among Toronto's most innovative and daring experimental theatre directors. TEAR IT OFF features con-con company members Lucy Bredeson-Smith, Beau Reinker and Lauren B. Smith, and newcomer to the Liminis stage, Terence Cranendonk. TEAR IT OFF, which opened to full houses last weekend, runs Thu-Sat at 8 pm through Sept 5 at the Liminis theater, 2438 Scranton Rd, Cleveland 44113, in the historic Tremont neighborhood. Tickets are $15 general admission, $12 seniors (65+), $10 students. Tickets and information at http://www.convergence-continuum.org and 216-687-0074.

Charles Schulz would be proud of this updated rendition of Clark Gesner’s 1967 script. In January 2016, follow Ugly as he evolves through self-discovery in *Honk! *directed by Pierre Brault. *Honk! *is the brilliant re-telling of Hans Christian Anderson’s classic *The Ugly Duckling*. The capstone of the season will be the much-anticipated *West Side Story *directed by Treva Offutt. Ms. Offutt will be conducting an intensive workshop prior to auditions to help the young performers embrace the context and themes of the production. This is bound to be a tremendous experience for all involved! Participants in Heights Youth Theatre range in age from 6 -18 from all over Greater Cleveland. HYT has been in existence for over 60 years and generally produces three to four full-length musicals each year while engaging over 200 children and entertaining thousands each season. For countless numbers of children, Heights Youth Theatre is their first exposure to live theater. It has been a place where young people from first through the 12th grade, from the inner ring suburbs of Greater Cleveland and beyond, enjoy a safe, nurturing environment and a cooperative learning experience as they work together to create a production. The extraordinary artistic quality of Heights Youth Theatre’s productions and the sense of connection to a larger community, are but a few of the compelling reasons children and adults choose to become involved with the theatre.

The support has allowed us to continue to bring these theater opportunities to our communities. We are so fortunate to work with some of the best directors and technical staff around, in turn providing our young performers with a truly engaging and educational experience.
