Art of Acting Studio Presents MARISOL, Opening 2/3
By: Kelsey Denette
The Harold Clurman Laboratory Theater Company presents the Los Angeles premiere of Jose Rivera's landmark play "Marisol." The award winning play about God, the apocalypse, credit card debt and the hope for a brighter future opens Friday, February 3, 2012 at the Art of Acting Studio.
The play depicts the life of Marisol Perez, a young Puerto Rican copy editor in Manhattan. Her world takes a tragic turn when her guardian angel is forced to abandon her for a revolution against a senile God. Her sorrowful journey is reminiscent of modern day life, where the innocent are forced to take a stand. The narrative is enhanced by an evolving change of sets.
"Marisol is about so many things but I think at its core, it's a call to the country to wake up and fight back against 'God': The god of religion, the God of credit, the God of big business, any monolithic power that claims to want to 'take care' of you, but really wants to control you," said director Don K. Williams. "It's a call to the people to take back the power it has given up for centuries."
The Harold Clurman Laboratory Theater Company is the professional theater company of Stella Adler Studio of Acting in New York. Performances of Marisol will take place at the Art of Acting Studio: 1017 North Orange Drive, Los Angeles, CA 90038.
