The funeral of Sister Rose Marie, an alcoholic religious disciplinarian, brings together twelve outrageously diverse flawed Harlem characters in this acclaimed play by Stephen Adly Guirgis. Sister Rose Marie may have been a mean drunk of an Irish nun schoolteacher, but she caused her former students to examine the many lessons they've learned from her as they struggle against the tide of their lives, sometimes succeeding, sometimes failing, in doing the right thing. And there's one other complication: somebody has stolen the body. Learn More

Description
<p>Martin Mirkheim is a loser, in debt to the Florida Bureau of Taxation for over 40 grand in back taxes. His marriage is shattered and his entertainment booking business is a failure. He is, however, obsessed with a novel written by a self-improvement guru to which Martin has developed a cult-like attachment.</p> <p>Frightened and weak, Martin is nonetheless in love with the enduring notion that America is, as it has ever been, a land of limitless possibilities. Martin hustles, embarking on a scheme to produce a feature film about the novel in his quest not to just make money, but to achieve something of a life that matters. He enlists the aid of his guru’s lady, to his personal peril.</p> <p>One more problem: Martin’s objectives require great wads of money to pull off. How can one acquire large quantities of capital? The answer should be obvious: By becoming a high-end dope dealer.</p> <p>This buys Martin more trouble. High-rolling pharmaceutical businessmen are not known for their constancy in financial matters, and tend to have unpleasant dispositions and violent streaks.</p> <p>Martin’s quest for success, in a milieu that will kill you rather than let you achieve your dreams, leads to a completely unexpected conclusion.</p>
