Little Victory Theatre at the Victory Theatre Center (Burbank, CA)
The funeral of Sister Rose Marie, an alcoholic religious disciplinarian, brings together twelve diverse and flawed characters in this irreverent stage comedy by Stephen Adly Guirgis. Our Lady of 121st Street follows the lives of former students returning to Spanish Harlem for the funeral of Sister Rose Marie, who was both a mean drunk of an Irish-nun schoolteacher and also the neighborhood’s patron saint. One complication: somebody stole her body. The characters’ journey to bury the past and find redemption results in riotously hilarious confrontations and heart-wrenching confessions. See this tragicomedy up close like never before when it’s performed inside the intimate 48-seat Little Victory Theatre.
