Performances will be livestreamed on Thursday, April 8 through Saturday, April 10 at 7:30 p.m., with a Sunday matinee performance on April 11 at 2:30 p.m.
Marisol Perez, a young Latino woman, is a copy editor for a Manhattan publisher. Although she has elevated herself into the white-collar class, she continues to live alone in the dangerous Bronx neighborhood of her childhood. Later that evening Marisol is visited by her guardian angel who informs her that she can no longer serve as Marisol’s protector because she has been called to join the revolution already in progress against an old and senile God who is dying and “taking the rest of the universe with him.”
The production will be livestreamed via Zoom for audiences. Zoom links can be purchased for $5 by contacting the University Box Office at 570-372-ARTS between noon and 5 p.m. Monday-Friday. The box office will also be open for one hour before every performance. Zoom ticketing is free for Susquehanna students.
