Come on down and bring ten of you closests friends with you!
Morning Prayer:
On its surface, it’s the story of an idealistic young female Episcopal priest battling the brutality of a dying innercity church while confronting the rigidity of the diocesan bureacracy and it’s need to maintain both its power and its finances in a time when organized religion is on a downswing. During the course of the play, the young woman is viscously and violently raped by the henchmen of her downtown nemesis, the local pimp. While the attack happens entirely offstage, it is an uncomfortably gut wrenching moment of theater which precipitated a PG 13 warning for adult situations and graphic violence. Roles include 6 hookers, a few lines each, mostly female, playing age early 20's to early 40's; Rev. Alva [female, playing late 20's] Homer [male prostitute, playing age, late 20's to mid 40's] Gina [female prostitute, playing age 14-16]; The Lady Sue [female, pimp, playing age late 30's to 50]; The Bishop [male, playing age 50-70].
