New theater company presenting one-act &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 The Chaos and Order Company, Northeast Pennsylvania's only original theater
company, announces the cast for its upcoming premiere performance of the
one-act play, ``Freedom Overspill.'' &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Patricia McAvoy of Scranton has been cast in the co-lead role of Nicole, a
lesbian writer struggling to overcome animosity toward her boisterous
neighbor, Joan, a pregnant woman living in an unfulfilling marriage. Joan will
be played by Mary Perhach of Kingston. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 McAvoy is a veteran of the local theater community, last seen in "One More
Song" at Actor's Circle. Perhach is a student at the University of Scranton
and also performing currently in Carbondale Repertoire Theaters "Do Black
Patent Leather Shoes Really Reflect Up." &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 "Freedom Overspill," a play that explores how neighbors can free one
another from the bondage of self by discussing the controversial values of
marriage, love and homosexuality, is written and produced by Stephen Scalese,
publisher of ergo Magazine, and will be directed by Leigh Strimbeck, former
executive director of the Bloomsburg Theatre Ensemble (BTE). &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Strimbeck has directed numerous plays, including her most current project,
"Baltimore Waltz" at the Bloomsburg Theatre Ensemble this month. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Performance dates for "Freedom Overspill" are scheduled March 4 and 5 at 8
p.m. and March 6 at 2 p.m. and will be staged in the rear theater space at
