Our Lady of 121st Street at Odyssey Theatre Ensemble

Los Angeles City College students get the unique opportunity to mount a full theater production in a professional environment with the support of a professional design team. A group of childhood friends reunites in Harlem for the wake of their beloved yet feared teacher, Sister Rose, the "lady of 121st Street." Gathered together for the first time in years, passions are ignited, tensions are heightened and old wounds are opened. With trademark intensity, Guirgis brings a unique, urban style to this moving and hilarious story about reexamining the past. Recommended for mature audiences.
