In response to popular demand, Soho Rep. (Sarah Benson, Artistic Director; Cynthia Flowers, Executive Director) extends the world premiere of Aleshea Harris's Relentless Award-winning Is God Is, directed by Taibi Magar by two weeks, through March 25. In this play, which dauntlessly cracks jokes as it eviscerates, twin sisters Anaia (Alfie Fuller) and Racine (Dame-Jasmine Hughes) undertake a murderous journey from the Dirty South to the California desert, seeking payback for a horrendous act. Is God Is treats both morality and genre as notions to be exploded, drawing on the ancient, the modern, the tragic, the Spaghetti Western, hip-hop and Afropunk in its subversion of theatrical constructs.

I am incredibly proud of all my kids and Ryan is pursuing his dream as a performer. He has been performing for quite awhile now as a professional and I have had the idea that this would be so since about his Junior year in High School. I have always taken the time to include my kids (when they have shown an interest) into the shows I was doing. Ryan and his older sister, Kaitlynn, were able to be more inundated with it at a young age as I was more active as a professional performer and they got to be backstage and at rehearsal, and often in shows with me. Whenever I was in a show that needed kids, I got them an audition and, since they were talented, often got cast, so we were able to share the stage. Sound of Music, South Pacific, Music Man, Secret Garden, A Christmas Carol, all shows that my kids been able to share with me.

Author and former New York City firefighter John Finucane (When The Bronx Burned) has announced the release of his latest novel No Irish Need Apply. A historical portrait of New York City's Hell's Kitchen during the Mid-1800s that chronicles the friendship and struggles of Johnny O'Hara and his best friend Red. They are the children of immigrants who escaped Ireland's Great Hunger (1845-1851). Both orphaned at an early age, Johnny and Red try to survive amidst the poverty, street gangs and the strong anti-Irish Catholic prejudice of the time. Red is a homeless and fearless youngster who deals with the brutality and violence of their environment with fists and wits. The two close friends are members of an all-immigrant fire company that is despised by surrounding fire companies that are manned by American-born men. Unwittingly, both groups are also victims of the greedy elites who thrive on working class division; keeping immigrants and native Americans divided. Finucane's new book explores the transition from a volunteer fire department to a professional fire department. No Irish Need Apply is also an inspirational love story that reveals the blood, sweat and passions of the Irish immigrants who help build New York City.
