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, urban 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  and comical moments,  the adults only hold her down. What could possibly prevent a 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.  Fri & Sat tickets are $20 general admission, $15 seniors (65+), $10 students.  Thurs tickets are $15, $12 and $8.
