DEATH CRUISE 2020 OPENS FRIDAY, JUNE 6TH, AT CONVERGENCE-CONTINUUM
(CLEVELAND, OHIO – May 2025). Convergence-continuum continues its 2025 season with the world premiere of Death Cruise 2020 by Christopher Johnston.
Passengers aboard the cruise ship Halcyon Daze find themselves trapped at sea when the "unknown pneumonia" infecting the public is discovered to be a new virus called COVID-19. As it rapidly spreads, survivors find themselves either quarantined in their cabins, or free to roam the ship--at their own risk. To ease the rising tension, the ship's Captain orders one of its medical staff, Achebe, to form a grief group for passengers. Those who join include Ghost, a Vietnam veteran; Lorena, a woman trying to recover from personal trauma; Juanita, who wrestles with her faith; Ricky, a young man who is obsessed with 70's rock music; and Nick, a stand-up comic who also serves as the ship's Cruise Director. They don't know when they can escape the shipboard corona chaos that ensues, when they will ever set foot on dry land, and why they are all having intense dreams inhabited by scary puppets. But as they say, "Bon Voyage!"
Featuring Tamicka Scruggs, Katrice Monee Headd, Ben Blankenship, John Lynch, Monica Zach and Matthew Zitelli. Directed by Alison Garrigan

Thanks for sharing this informative guide. I was researching 192.168.o.1.1 and found the discussion useful because router addresses can sometimes be confusing, especially when letters and numbers look similar. Clear explanations can help users identify common mistakes, access the correct settings, and manage their home WiFi connection more confidently.
https://fremovebg.com/ looks like a really timely way to revisit the early pandemic days through the passengers aboard the Halcyon Daze. The grief group with its mix of characters, from the Vietnam veteran to the stand-up comic, seems like a smart way to capture that tense, stuck-at-sea feeling. Looking forward to seeing how the world premiere handles it.
planorial sounds like a really unique take on the pandemic experience. The idea of a grief group forming on a quarantined cruise ship is a compelling and dramatic setup. I'm especially curious to see how the character of Ghost, the Vietnam veteran, navigates this new kind of crisis.
The premise of planliva sounds really compelling, especially the part about the Captain ordering a grief group to ease tension on the ship. I'm curious to see how the different characters, like the veteran and the stand-up comedian, interact in that high-stress setting.
The premise of GLB to OBJ is really compelling, mixing a classic lockdown scenario with a pandemic on the high seas. I'm especially curious to see how the grief group dynamic plays out among such a diverse set of characters.
