MULTI-CULTURAL CAST TELLS STORIES OF URBAN LOS ANGELES

Sometimes a train wreck is just what your heart needs.

Seven strangers meet on the subway. When the train crashes, these very different people come together, share the secrets of their hearts and realize that sometimes a train wreck is all your heart needs.

Physical comedy combines with hard human reality to create a beautiful and surprisingly heightened comedy about how we can conquer our fears when we are finally seen and heard.

In Gina Rose Powell’s beautiful new play,  we learn how a badly timed train wreck may just be what our world needs.

WE ENTER the lives of a REFUGEE from Libya searching for his lost wife,  a TEENAGE RUNAWAY trying to make a fresh start,  an ABUSED BRIDE who is RUNNING FOR FREEDOM,  an INDIAN IMMIGRANT ACCUSED OF BEING A TERRORIST, a SINGLE WOMAN WHO FEELS INVISIBLE,  a TORNADO VICTIM WHO HAS LOST EVERYTHING, and a POET WHO HOPES TO HEAL THE WORLD WITH HER WORDS.

We learn that by listening to each other’s stories, seeing beyond color and circumstance, we can begin to heal great tragedy, and find a way to help each other survive.

Citizen Change Theatre creates original theatre for the People. Their special focus is underserved communities. They find stories in prisons, juvenile delinquent centers, runaway shelters, women shelters, homeless, drug & addiction centers, and give these stories a voice. (more)

Citizen Change Theatre shows are based in physical comedy and heightened, sincere emotions. We use live music to accompany and accentuate the actors and propel the story. We strive, in our stories and in our company, to embody and represent the diversity of Los Angeles.
