International City Theatre is thrilled to return to the stage after 18 long months with a compelling family drama by multiple award-winning Los Angeles-based playwright Wendy Graf. Living in New York shortly after September 11, Julia Dolan is an up-and-coming corporate attorney whose carefully constructed life begins to crumble when she learns she has a half-sister a Muslim who has fled Iraq. Neyla plays the violin and wants to audition for Juilliard, but Julia is wary. Is there more to Neylas story? Closely Related Keys reminds us, on the 20th anniversary of that pivotal event, how living in a climate of racial, religious, moral and political polarization can cause us to put up walls on a personal level. The plays title is taken from a musical expression meaning to share many common tones. Aug. 26 Sept. 12, Thursdays, Fridays & Saturdays at 8 p.m.; Sundays at 2 p.m. Seating will be socially distanced (skipping rows as well as seats) and masks required as recommended by the County of Los Angeles on the date of each performance. International City Theatre in the Long Beach Performing Arts Center, 330 E. Seaside Way, Long Beach, CA 90802; (562) 436-4610; InternationalCityTheatre.org.
