At the height of the frenzy over the Fugitive Slave Act, 18-year-old, illiterate captive John Price makes his way over the frozen Ohio River to the abolitionist sanctuary and utopian college town of Oberlin. While its citizens, white and black, fugitive and free, have pledged to live together equally and let no slave be taken from their midst, John quickly discovers that the town’s ideals are far from reality. Yet, when he is abducted by Kentucky slave-hunters, the town folk, despite their differences, rally en masse to free him and get him to safe haven in Canada. The joy of liberation is dashed, however, as John confronts a cold and lonely place and the rescuers are put on trial and jailed. While some congratulate themselves on their small victory, others, through the conditions of their imprisonment, come to understand the toll of enslavement. Two decide that the only way to rescue the nation is through radical revolution, and John, himself, is still in quest of true freedom. Based on actual history, the inside story of the little town that started the Civil War. *Hannah Dougall *| *she/her* Marketing & Engagement Coordinator Department of Theater & Dance Oberlin College & Conservatory Hall Annex rm 209 T: 440-775-8580

AFTER THE BLAST opens March 31st at convergence-continuum
by Cory Molner 23 Mar '23

23 Mar '23

Convergence-continuum begins it’s 2023 season with AFTER THE BLAST by Zoe Kazan. Generations ago, humans retreated deep underground after an environmental disaster ruined the world above. Nature is now simulated through brain-implanted chips, and fertility is regulated to keep the surviving population in balance. Anna and Oliver want to have a baby, and their options are running out. “[Kazan has] created a slyly detailed alternate universe that is both an extrapolation of the world we know today and its own consistent entity.” —NY Times. “…sharp, stirring…incisive and humane…AFTER THE BLAST has the smart, fully fleshed- out trappings of a compelling dystopia story, but its heart—and its strength—is its examination of despair…AFTER THE BLAST’s brilliance lies in its use of science fiction’s black mirror to cast light on human betrayals both global and personal. Its shattered world is ours…” —NY Magazine. “…an intriguing, engaging, and laugh-laced philosophical discourse with heart…” —Huffington Post. “[Kazan is] a playwright…of uncommon talent…[AFTER THE BLAST] pulls off the bedazzling feat of taking a hyper-politicized topic and using it as the occasion for a taut, sermon-free drama whose true subject is the inability of men and women to see each other plain…The true star of AFTER THE BLAST…is its creator. Kazan has emerged as a writer of real individuality.” —Wall Street Journal. After The Blast opens Friday, March 31 and runs Thu-Sat at 8 p.m, through April 22 at convergence-continuum’s Liminis Theater, 2438 Scranton Rd., Cleveland, OH 44113 in the historic Tremont neighborhood. Tickets are $23 general admission, $18 for seniors and $18 for students. Tickets and information are available at www.convergence-continuum.org and 216- 687-0074.
