Turtles at Atwater Village Theatre

Far from your typical family drama, Turtles presents a desperate mother on the run after snatching her two kids. They're scraping out an existence in their car on a desert roadside, when a man suddenly falls into their lives ... quite literally. Thus begins the mother's mad dash across America in this provocative, timely play that aims to challenge preconceived notions of family, faith and personal choice. Written by renowned Boston playwright John Greiner-Ferris', Turtles focuses on strong female voices and features an intentionally multiracial cast because, as Ferris puts it: "that's what my world looks like." Catch the West Coast premiere of this thought-provoking drama at the Atwater Village Theatre in Los Angeles. This production is recommended for audience members ages 16 and older.
