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

Quotes & Highlights
- “An outrageously clever, maniacally riotous, refreshingly different slant on the format of one-person plays…The audience laughed uncontrollably nonstop, ... An insanely fun show – do see it!” Pat Taylor – Tolucan Times
Description
<p>Writer/Director David Rackoff has written a celebration of theater, a character comedy that blends witty and goofy into one delightful package. The play contains all the ingredients of a classical farce (mistaken identity, misguided seduction, and an elaborate chase scene), but the results have to be seen to be believed. The Chase Lounge promises to be an unforgettable, balls-to-the-wall comedic experience. Workshopped last year to great success, this play has something very entertaining and innovative to offer the Los Angeles Theatre scene.</p> <p>“This is by far the most demanding show I’ve ever done. I play five very different characters and I have to switch from person to person in seconds. At one moment, I’m Michelle, the sweet, gay sister in the wheel chair, exiting through one door, only to return through another door, immediately, as her self absorbed, plastic surgeon twin, Falalla. Falalla is then attacked by their third sister, who Falalla drugged and gave plastic surgery, so she'd be identical also. It’s insanely physical; I’m always running, switching costumes, ducking through trap doors. Sometimes all five characters are on stage at once. The five minute long chase scene at the end of the show is practically a play in itself. And it’s an awesome challenge creating five very distinct, very separate characters” --Heidi, performer, The Chase Lounge</p>
