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 supposedly supportive adults only hold her down. Will anything prevent a tragic end? _In the Blood _is directed by Cory Molner, with a cast featuring actors Jeannine Gaskin, Daryl Kelley, Anthony X, Shannon Sharkey, Grace Mitri and Patrick Gladish. _In the Blood _has its final three performances this Thurs, Fri & Sat at 8 pm at the Liminis Theater, 2438 Scranton Rd, Cleveland 44113 in the historic Tremont neighborhood.
