Valley Collegiate Players are proud to present Suzan-Lori Parks' FUCKING A at the LAVC Horseshoe Theater. Performances begin Friday, July 12 and continue through Sunday, July 14. Each performance begins at 7PM.
Parks was called by James Baldwin "an utterly astounding and beautiful creature who may become one of the most valuable artists of our time." The play is one of the Pulitzer-Prize winning playwright's Red Letter Plays, riffs on Nathaniel Hawthorne's classic novel The Scarlet Letter. In FUCKING A Parks reimagines Hawthorne's character of Hester--but here her A stands not for Adulterer but for Abortionist.
Set in "a small town in a small country in the middle of nowhere," a bleak world plagued with dreams and nightmares that feel all too familiar, FUCKING A is the story of a single mother whose son was imprisoned as a boy for stealing a piece of meat from a rich family. To avoid imprisonment herself and to earn a chance at seeing her son again, Hester has reluctantly taken up the occupation of Abortionist. A dark fable and revenge tragedy for our times, "Fucking A is direct, visceral, compelling, ultimately extremely moving."--Culture Vulture.
Featured in the cast for FUCKING A are Valley students Kiziana Jean-Louis, Nancy Garcia, Ava Lange, Harut Simonian, Charlie Castaneda , Charisma Carrillo, Lara Blanco, Taylor Gottbetter, Manvel Gezalyan, Martin Guardado, Jason Beltran, and Matthew Hawkins.
The creative staff and production team are all LAVC students. FUCKING A is directed by Enver Messano, with scenery designed by Cole Castine, costumes by Stephanie Morales, lighting by Briaz Vasquez and properties by Shnayor Zalman Heidingsfeld. The production stage managing team is comprised of Joshua Esquivel and assistant stage managers Kathie Ramos and Gerardo Ceja.
