This troupe did a wonderful job of bringing this piece to life. There was not a weak actor in the group. I look forward to seeing what their next play is.

Description

UrbanTheater Company presents
Sonnets for an Old Century
by José Rivera
directed by Madrid St. Angelo in collaboration with Juan Castañeda and Ivan Vega

In a waiting room for the afterlife, we find a dreamscape filled with poignant, funny, lyrical and haunting monologues from recently deceased individuals.  This Midwest premiere by Obie Award-winning playwright and Academy Award-nominated screenwriter José Rivera asks: “Where do we go when we die?” And if you were to offer commentary regarding the life that you’ve lived, “What would you say?”
