Featured performance 2011:
- Comida de Puta (f@#king lousy food)
By Desi Moreno-Penson
Directed by José Zayas
- Taking place in the Bronx, a bodega-owner’s wife is madly in love with her husband’s son, the lunch counter boy, and not even her friend, the neighborhood ‘spiritual’ woman can save her. Think Phaedra in the Bronx. The play will be directed by the wonderfully talented Jose Zayas, and will feature such amazing actors as Maggie Bofill, Susanna Guzman, Gilbert Cruz, and Ismael Cruz Cordova.
