Description
“After the death of the beloved Sister Rose, a group of her former students return to their Harlem neighborhood to pay respects. But at the Funeral Home, there's a problem—her dead body has been stolen. An irreverently brash and insightful dark comedy, Our Lady of 121st Street paints a vivid comic portrait of what happens when old friends meet old wounds and how old habits die hard.”

Stephanie on Our Lady of 121st Street
“Community.
As an artist and a mother, the idea of community deepens in importance for me with each passing year. To live in the world of Stephen Adly Guirgis’ play was to entrench myself in the meaning of that word.
My favorite place in the world is the rehearsal room- and to be led by Phylicia Rashad as a part of the NY theatre community, was a gift.”
Accolades
