Lucía Glaize Studio Theatre Thursday, April 23 at 7:30PMFriday, April 24 at 7:30PMSaturday, April 25 at 2:30PMSaturday, April 25 at 7:30PMSunday, April 26 at 2:30PM Written by Stephen Adly Guirgis Directed by Scott Hudson The Ortiz Funeral Room is in chaos: the body of beloved community activist and nun Sister Rose has been stolen, leaving a group of former neighborhood schoolmates — now hardened by life and haunted by the past — to wrestle with grief, secrets and uncertain futures. Directed by Scott Hudson, this darkly insightful and sharply funny comedy brings together twelve unforgettable characters each teetering on the edge of revelation — from Rooftop, a wildly popular but chronically unfaithful LA DJ desperate to make amends with the love of his life; to Pinky and Edwin, two brothers forever bound by tragedy; to the fiery Norca, who expects forgiveness from her best friend Inez after having slept with Inez’s husband fifteen years earlier. As tensions rise and truths unravel, this irreverent yet deeply human ensemble confronts rage, pain and the raw need to finally come clean — perhaps for the very first time.
