HARBOR Opens Tonight at convergence-continuum

convergence-continuum continues its 2016 Season with Chad Beuelin's HARBOR, a hilarious and touching romp into the shifting nature of the meaning of family.

HARBOR tells the story of two newlyweds, Kevin and Ted, living in tranquil, affluent domesticity. That is, until Kevin's pregnant slacker sister and her precocious teenage daughter show up unannounced at the couple's beautiful Sag Harbor home and all hell breaks loose. The bonds between kith and kin are tested in this alternately uproarious and moving comedy.

HARBOR is directed by Cory Molner, and features Cat Kenney, Maya Jones, Patrick Gladish and Gideon-Patrick Lorete.

HARBOR opens tonight, July 8 and runs Thurs-Sat at 8 pm through July 30 at the Liminis Theater, 2438 Scranton Rd, Cleveland 44113 in the historic Tremont neighborhood. Tickets are $15 general admission, $12 seniors (65+), $10 students. Reservations and information at convergence-continuum.org and 216-687-0074.

About The Play: Harbor - Harbor was originally produced by the Westport Country Playhouse in Westport, Connecticut in 2012. The New York premiere was produced by Primary Stages in 2013. There have been subsequent productions in San Francisco (New Conservatory Theatre Center), Omaha (Snap! Productions), Dallas (Uptown Players) and Buffalo (Alleyway Theater). The convergence-continuum production of Harbor will be its Midwestern premiere, and is presented by special arrangement with Samuel French.

About The Company: convergence-continuum - Harbor, the company's 76th production, is the third of six in the 2016 Season (our fifteenth). The company's season runs from February (during which we stage the NEOMFA Playwrights Festival) through December. The company seeks to create a core ensemble that continues to work together over the long term in exploring and developing its artistic voice, and performance and production practices, to create up-close, environmentally-staged productions that challenge the status quo and extend the boundaries of theatre.

The company's artistic home, in the Tremont neighborhood of Cleveland, is the Liminis, an intimate, versatile, storefront performance space, with maximum seating of 40-50 depending on the set-up for each show. The company produces alternative/experimental theatre work by living playwrights, and completely transforms the Liminis for each show, immersing audiences into the world of the play in up-close productions.
