WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Blue Coyote Theater Group, producers of last summer's critically acclaimed play Busted Jesus Comix, presents the NY premiere of David Foley's striking comedy-drama Paradise.
A sophisticated and witty look at how we live now, Paradise follows three Manhattan couples (and a dissolute priest) who inadvertently set off a chain of events that leads to consequences none of them could have foreseen. Pieced together like a beautiful mosaic, this somber comedy-drama eavesdrops on their poignant and often very funny musings on love and faith, as each couple searches for connection, lasting passion, and (perhaps) redemption.
There is an added performance on Monday, February 6 and no performance on Wednesday, February 8.

After an encounter with a pair of evangelical Christians (John Koprowski and Michael Bell), Robbie decides that he should get back in touch with his Catholic roots. His best friend, Betty (Tracey Gilbert), sets him up on a d[...]
