Our Lady of 121st by Stephen Adley Gurgis
Sunday, October 10, 2021
2:00 pm - 4:30 pm
The School of Theatre & Dance presents Our Lady of 121st by Stephen Adley Gurgis. This event will be performed live and in person.
Directed by Demetria Thomas, Guest Artist
The Ortiz Funeral Room is in big trouble: The body of beloved community activist and nun Sister Rose has been stolen from the viewing room, and waiting for her proper return are some of New York City’s most emotionally charged, life-challenged neighborhood denizens, trying to find a place to put their grief, checkered pasts, and their uncertain futures. Among the equally hilarious and tragic twelve characters, you’ll meet Rooftop, a chronically unfaithful but otherwise popular Los Angeles DJ, looking to reconcile with the love of his life; Pinky and Edwin, two brothers tragically linked forever; and the outrageously angry Norca, who doesn’t let the fact that she slept with her best friend’s husband deter her from the full expectation of being immediately forgiven by her best friend, Inez, still in pain fifteen years later. The rest of the crowd in this dark, insightful, and very funny comedy inevitably square off on each other, motivated by rage, pain, and a scary desire to come clean - perhaps for the first time.
Performances: October 1-2, 4, 6-9 at 8:00 PM and October 2-3, 9, and 10 at 2:00 PM
