Rare Revival of José Rivera's Marisol to Be Presented by Open Fist Theatre Company

Open Fist Theatre Company will present a rare revival of Marisol, the Obie-winning play by Puerto Rican playwright José Rivera, running September 12-October 24 at Atwater Village Theatre, with low-priced preview performances September 10-11.

Directed by Open Fist associate artistic director Amanda Weier, Marisol is an apocalyptic fable about survival, faith, and hope. After her guardian angel abandons her to join the celestial battle against a senile God, Bronx resident Marisol Pérez must navigate a terrifying, unraveling world on her own while struggling to preserve her humanity.

Jade Santana stars as Marisol, opposite Taylor Scott as the Guardian Angel. The cast also features Barbara Lee Bragg, Hutchins Foster, Matthew Goodrich, Carmella Jenkins, Mara Michelle, Chima Rok, Jack Sharpe, and Grace Soens.

The creative team includes scenic designer Brad Bentz, lighting designer Matt Richter, sound designer Christopher Moscatiello, costume designer Mylette Nora, and props designers Bruce Dickinson and Anna Kraus.
