In Our Lady of 121st Street, a group of childhood friends reunite in Harlem for the wake of their beloved yet feared teacher, Sister Rose, the “lady of 121st Street.” Gathered together for the first time in years, passions are ignited, tensions are heightened and old wounds are opened. With trademark intensity, playwright Stephen Adly Guirgis brings a unique, urban style to this moving and hilarious story about reexamining the past.
There is an audience Q & A with Stephen Adly Guirgis following the Thursday evening performance.
