_IN THE BLOOD _BY SUZAN-LORI PARKS OPENS FRIDAY, MAY 18 AT CONVERGENCE-CONTINUUM Convergence-continuum presents _IN THE BLOOD_ by Pulitzer Prize winning playwright Suzan-Lori Parks. In a modern riff on The Scarlet Letter, Hester La Negrita, a homeless mother of five, lives with her kids on the tough streets of the inner city. Her kids, played by adult actors, double as five other people in her life: ex-boyfriend, social worker, doctor, best friend and minister. While Hester's kids fill her life with joy (comical moments amid the harsh world of poverty) the adults only hold her down. Can anything stop the play's tragic end? _In the Blood _is directed by Cory Molner. The cast features actors Jeannine Gaskin, Daryl Kelley, Anthony X, Shannon Sharkey, Grace Mitri and Patrick Gladish. _In the Blood _opens Friday, May 18 and_ _runs Thurs-Sat at 8 pm through June 9 at the Liminis Theater, 2438 Scranton Rd.
