Over 150 years, four families with ancestry in different parts of the world make their home on one particular plot of Southern California land now known as Watts. Their stories intertwine as a host of old curses and blessings, traditions and recipes, loves and betrayals travel down family lines from the 19th to the 21st century, forcing each successive generation to ask in times of hardship, “Should I stay, or should I go?” Los Angeles native Evangeline Ordaz crafts a rich and complex web of diverse characters who through triumph and despair discover how deeply they are rooted in the dreams of their ancestors and the land on which they stand.

If Nobody Does Remarkable Things by Emma Gibson
As a play about climate change, “If nobody does remarkable things” portrays the devastating future of the world if more sustainable practices are not brought into the spotlight. Calling out the lacking actions of the characters, world and audience, the play brings viewers into the difficult but necessary conversation. - The Student Life
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA PREMIERE! Set in 1988, this highly theatrical play tells the story of three Black teens in a wealthy, midwestern suburb as they struggle with cultural isolation, family pressures, and the elusive adolescent task of discovering, asserting, and valuing themselves. HOW WE GOT ON is simultaneously anthropology, nostalgia, and a feel-good coming-of-age tale. It’s for those of us who grew up back in the day and those who never knew.
