APORKALYPSE! World Premiere Opens 12/3 at Convergence-Continuum

convergence-continuum, concludes its 2010 Season at the Liminis theatre with the world premiere of APORKALYPSE! - our not-for-the- kiddies holiday show by Cleveland playwright and con-con company member Chris Johnston. Christmas, Marines AWOL from Iraq, a Persian love goddess and corporate American agri- business all collide down at Pawpaw's pig farm. And since it's the holiday season, there's some singing and accordion playing, too. For the three-week run, we've added 7 pm Sunday performances in addition to our usual Thu-Sat 8 pm shows.

APORKALYPSE! is set in the mountain country of North Carolina where Pork Corp has bought out nearly all The Farms in the area and set up factory farming of hogs. The last hold-out is Pawpaw and Mawmaw's family pig farm where they, and their PTSD-afflicted, Gulf War vet son Karol, are under siege, surrounded by the stench and environmental degradation of Pork Corp's operations. Into this mess comes son JP, AWOL from duty in Iraq, just in time for Christmas.

APORKALYPSE! is directed by convergence-continuum's Artistic Director, Clyde Simon, and features actors Michael Regnier, Marcia Mandel, Geoffrey Hoffman, Scott Gorbach, Sarah Kunchik, Tom Kondilas and actor/musicians sade wolfkitten and Joe Milan.

APORKALYPSE! opens Friday, Dec. 3 and runs at 8 p.m. Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays, and 7 pm Sundays through Dec. 19 at the Liminis, 2438 Scranton Rd., Cleveland, OH 44113. Tickets are $15 general admission, $12 for students and seniors (65+). For reservations and information call 216-687- 0074 or visit www.convergence-continuum.org on the web.
