This is when Christine gets a brilliant idea: what if Leanna and Leanna’s boyfriend get married? Everyone loves the idea except Leanna.
We end on a tag where the roommates once again follow Ron, only to find he walked right through the doughnut shop and into a community theatre! Turns out Ron is an aspiring actor, and auditioning for “Oliver.” The roommates cover is about to be broken, as Stevie jumps up, thrilled to have found a real life Hollywood audition. (even though technically they are in Boyle Heights not Hollywood.)
To these girls, an unwashed dish, loud neighbors, an overbearing landlord, a mysterious shit stain in the toilet are treated with the drama and intrigue of all our favorite musicals, but the upheaval their city is undergoing due to redlining, white flight, and civil unrest, will eventually reach a fever pitch even these self-obsessed post-grads can’t ignore. As they become more socially aware, conversations of religion, inequity, and chore wheels occur through colorful musical numbers and mad cap hijinks. Through laughter and song, my hope is we can gain an understanding for these characters from diverse backgrounds, and consider our roles as citizens in times of injustice.
