_CONSTELLATIONS _OPENS FRIDAY, DEC 6 AT CONVERGENCE-CONTINUUM - A FASCINATING, ROMANTIC JOURNEY BY NICK PAYNE -   Convergence-continuum presents the Ohio premiere of _Constellations, _by Nick Payne. This fascinating, romantic journey begins with a simple encounter between a man and a woman. But what happens next challenges the boundaries of the world we think we know – probing the infinite possibilities of their relationship and raising questions about the difference between choice and destiny.   _Constellations _follows Roland, a beekeeper, and Marianne, a theoretical astronomer, through their romantic relationship. Marianne waxes poetic about cosmology, quantum mechanics, string theory and the concept of multiple universes pulling people’s lives in various directions, and the play itself takes the pair’s story through the stars to alternative realities where anything can happen – and does.               “Who knew that higher physics could be so sexy, so accessible – and so emotionally devastating? _Constellations _, Nick Payne’s gorgeous two-character drama may be the most sophisticated date play Broadway has seen.”   - _The New York Times _ ____   _Constellations _is directed by convergence-continuum’s Geoffrey Hoffman and features actors Laurel Hoffman and Max Elinsky, with live music by Bobby Williams.   _Constellations _opens Friday, Dec 6 and runs Thu-Sat at 8 p.m. through Dec 21 at convergence-continuum’s Liminis Theater, 2438 Scranton Rd., Cleveland, OH 44113 in the historic Tremont neighborhood.  Fri and Sat tickets are $20 general admission, $15 for seniors and $10 for students.  Thurs tickets are $15 gen. admission, $12 seniors and $8 students.
