OPENS FRIDAY, OCTOBER 5 AT CONVERGENCE-CONTINUUM
convergence-continuum continues its 2012 Season with the Cleveland premiere of Kid Simple: a radio play in the flesh by Jordan Harrison. With its whizbang sight and sound gags, sci-fi references, fantastical situations and characters, general loopiness and sheer fun, Kid Simple is a treat for the imagination and intellect.
Moll, a girl who invents things, wins the science fair with a machine for hearing sounds that can't be heard. But when a shapeshifting Mercenary steals the invention (and her heart), she must embark on a quest to save noise as we know it. Accompanied by the last boy-virgin in the eleventh grade, Moll crosses chasms and rafts rivers into a world where sound is always more than what meets the ear. Kid Simple is a quirky fable of innocence and experience, featuring live sound effects, mutinous onomatopoeia, and a host of woodsy temptations.
Kid Simple is directed by converge-continuum company member Geoffrey Hoffman and features actors Jaclyn Cifranic, Clint Elston, Robert Hawkes, Tom Kondilas, Layla Schwartz, Laura Starnik, and Foley artists Lisa Wiley and sade wolfkitten.
Kid Simple opens Friday, October 5 and runs at 8 p.m. Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays through October 27 at the Liminis, 2438 Scranton Rd., Cleveland, OH 44113. Tickets are $15 general admission, $12 for seniors (65+) and $10 for students. For reservations and information visit http://www.convergence-continuum.org or call 216-687-0074.
