convergence-continuum, continues its 2015 Season with the world premiere of TEAR IT OFF by Cleveland playwright Mike Geither. The play is directed by guest director Karin Randoja, recognized as among Toronto's most innovative and daring experimental theatre directors.
Two sisters pass the time by writing a romance novel. But when their hunky handyman becomes their co-author, the line between reality and fiction blurs. A small bear cub calls plaintively. A plane crashes. Two star-crossed lovers dance, rising high above the tops of the birches, as they whirl breathlessly toward unfettered regions. Inhibitions get left behind in a pile in the wilderness and on the living room floor, as they find themselves living the hot and steamy clichés of their book.
TEAR IT OFF is directed by guest director, Karin Randoja, and features company actors Lucy Bredeson-Smith, Beau Reinker and Lauren B Smith, and newcomer to the Liminis stage, Terrence Cranendonk.
TEAR IT OFF opens Fri, Aug 14 and runs Thu-Sat at 8 pm through Sept 5 at the Liminis theater, 2438 Scranton Rd. in Cleveland's historic Tremont neighborhood. Tickets are $15 general admission, $12 seniors (65+), $10 students. Reservations and information at convergence-continuum.org and 216-687-0074.
