A dreamlike blend of magical realism, Theatre of the Absurd and Rivera's powerfully poetic language, 'Marisol' is a darkly funny, apocalyptic fable about survival, faith and hope. After her guardian angel abandons her to join the celestial battle against a senile God, Bronx resident Marisol Pérez must navigate a terrifying, unraveling world on her own while struggling to preserve her humanity.

Jade Santana, recently seen at Open Fist in Amerika and Brownstone, stars in the title role opposite Taylor Scott as the Guardian Angel. The cast also features Barbara Lee Bragg, Hutchins Foster, Matthew Goodrich , Carmella Jenkins, Mara Michelle, Chima Rok, Jack Sharpe and Grace Soens.
