To Life at Theater for the New City

The Rosen family, battered and blessed, celebrates life as their hearts lie gasping on the floor.

Broadway's Loni Ackerman, who starred as Eva Peron in Evita and sang Memory in Cats, plays the matriarch of the Rosen family in a death-defying traumedy revealing family secrets. Backs are turned and accusations hurled as they come together and fall apart, bound by heartbreak and humor. 

Nobody escapes a good kick in the tuchas as they expose their foibles, confront their fears, and cling to their fragile connection amidst the chaos. The story is both elegy and eulogy to the death of a family and reminds us that we're not alone.
