At-TEN-tion Span

This Thursday, At-TEN-tion Span premieres at Cleveland Public Theatre! The three scenes I'm in were originally created for a directing class at CPT back in November/December, and I've been working on the pieces since their inception. I'm so excited and proud that the scenes have come this far and that we get an audience for them!

At-TEN-tion Span runs January 19th through February 4th at 7:30pm.

Tickets
$10 Thursday and Monday
$15 Friday and Saturday

For tickets and more information visit www.cptonline.org or call the box office at (216) 631-2727

A CPT favorite from the past, the 10-minute play series returns! The 2012 At-TEN-tion Span will be made up entirely of devised works created by local artists. The nine plays in At-TEN-tion Span will explore different themes of politics, love and personal struggle in innovative ways. And the next piece is only moments away! GET EXCITED & BE WARNED: you will have to move your chair during the evening. Don’t forget that every Friday is FREE BEER (or other beverage of your choice) FRIDAY; on Free Beer Fridays, we invite the audience to mingle with the cast and crew after the show while enjoying a drink on us.

The Internationalist

Through December 17th, I'm appearing in The Internationalist by Anne Washburn at convergence-continuum. Here's what the reviews have said:

"...as two of the workers at the intrigue-laden company, Ray Caspio and Laura Starnik each have stellar moments." - Christine Howey, Cleveland Scene

"This ambiguity and absurdity is very entertaining, largely because it is delivered...by a superb cast. These six players, directed with great attention to detail by Clyde Simon, are an absolute pleasure to watch..."
- Bob Abelman, The News Herald

Photo by Cory Molner. Ray Caspio, Tom Kondilas, and Laura Starnik.The play: An American on a business trip is met at the airport by a beautiful colleague. They spend the night together and he feels like he's in one of those classic American movies where Gregory Peck goes to a foreign land and there's adventure and romance and a life-changing experience. The next day at the office, however, he discovers that it’s not like that at all. It’s like he's in one of those bewildering foreign films where nothing is as it seems, where there is no moral, and most importantly: no subtitles.

The Internationalist is directed by convergence-continuum’s Artistic director, Clyde Simon, and features actors Ray Caspio, Robert Hawkes, Geoffrey Hoffman, Laurel Hoffman, Tom Kondilas and Laura Starnik.

The Internationalist runs at 8 p.m. Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays through December 17 at the Liminis, 2438 Scranton Rd., Cleveland, OH 44113 in the historic Tremont neighborhood.

Tickets are $15 general admission, $12 for seniors (65+) and $10 for students. Reservations and information are available at www.convergence-continuum.org and 216-687-0074.
