THIS WEEKEND ONLY!   AT CONVERGENCE-CONTINUUM

BLACK MONGOOSE AND HIS LIL PURPLE BUTTERFLY

World premiere by Cleveland playwright Christopher Johnston

In his youth, Black Mongoose was an all-state basketball player. Next he became a fierce street fighter who stole what he could steal and sold what he could sell. Then, given the choice to avoid prison, he became a minister and got married. The Church and his marriage allegedly kept his demons in check -- until a lethal incident involving a police officer and his wife send Mongoose and his family into Holy Hell.

Directed by Ashley Aquilla.  Cast: Cornell H. Calhoun III, LaShawn Little and Mia Jones
