RAPTURE, BLISTER, BURN BY GINA GIONFRIDDO

ONSTAGE AT CONVERGENCE-CONTINUUM

 “densely-packed, super-heady piece of theater that never loses its grip”

“both funny and insightful” (Christine Howey, Rave and Pan)

Convergence-continuum presents the Ohio premiere of Rapture, Blister, Burn by Gina Gionfriddo.  With searing insight and trademark wit, this comedy is an unflinching look at gender politics.

After grad school, Catherine and Gwen chose polar opposite paths. Catherine built a career as a rockstar academic, while Gwen built a home with her husband and children. Decades later, unfulfilled in polar opposite ways, each woman covets the other's life, commencing a dangerous game of musical chairs—the prize being Gwen's husband.

Rapture, Blister, Burn is directed by con-con’s Geoffrey Hoffman. The cast features Anne McEvoy, Laurel Hoffman, Aaron Elersich, Rocky Encalada and Madelyn Voltz.

Rapture, Blister, Burn runs Thurs-Sat at 8 pm through Dec.15 at the Liminis Theater, 2438 Scranton Road.  Fri & Sat tickets are $20 general admission, $15 seniors (65+), $10 students. Thurs discount tickets are $15, $12 and $8.
