Berko review: WEST SIDE STORY @ Porthouse
by Roy Berko 11 Aug '22

11 Aug '22

*•••••••••••••••••••••••••••* *Capsule judgment: WEST SIDE STORY is near the top of my list of all-time great musicals. The creative choreography and solid character development of the Porthouse production did nothing to dissuade my love for the show. Bravo!!! I look forward to more shows produced by the Terri Kent and Martin Céspedes dynamic duo!* *To read the entire review go to: *https://royberkinfo.blogspot.com/ *To read the capsule judgements of the other Cleveland reviewers go to: * *www.clevelandtheaterreviews.com* <http://www.clevelandtheaterreviews.com/> *••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••*

NEIGHBORHOOD 3: Requisition of Doom opens August 26th at convergence-continuum
by Cory Molner 11 Aug '22

11 Aug '22

NEIGHBORHOOD 3: REQUISITION OF DOOM OPENS FRIDAY, AUGUST 26TH, AT CONVERGENCE-CONTINUUM (CLEVELAND, OHIO – July 2022). Convergence-continuum continues its 2022 season, “Societies in Question” with Neighborhood 3: Requisition of Doom, by Jennifer Haley. In a suburban subdivision with identical houses, parents find their teenagers addicted to an online horror video game. The game setting? A subdivision with identical houses. The goal? Smash through an army of zombies to escape the neighborhood for good. But as the line blurs between virtual and reality, both parents and players realize that fear has a life of its own. "Playing like a nifty episode of The Twilight Zone, the story builds to an affectingly gruesome finale [...] with its small-scale tech demands and four-person ensemble, Neighborhood seems a likely candidate for legit troupes hoping to benefit from the play’s youthful, tech-savvy appeal." - Variety "When our player pounds on the video door, and we hear the bang on his own front door, it’s genuinely, brilliantly chilling." - The Denver Post "Haley’s suspenseful play beamed cautionary messages about inattentive parents of teenagers addicted to online video games. A sense of unease about the diminishing line between real life and virtual reality lingered for days after the suburban zombies in Neighborhood 3 were vanquished with weed whackers and hedge clippers." - Louisville Courier-Journal Neighborhood 3: Requisition of Doom is directed by Cory Molner. Neighborhood 3: Requisition of Doom opens Friday, August 26 and runs Thu-Sat at 8 p.m. through September 17 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.
