City Girls and Desperadoes - NYC 1977, a rag tag band of accidental outlaws at war with their pasts explodes with high rolling, high risk relationships and the altered state that love in its most extreme form engenders, an intoxication that is as mind altering as any pharmaceutical.
Set in the world way before just say 'No' simplistic moralizing, it portrays people willingly lost in the world of drugs and dealing, more to stay connected to each other than some compulsive economic hardship.
This tribe of broken-hearted hipsters include, Dani (Julie Atlas Muz), a fragile reject of the "American Dream," whose flight from suburbia has led her into the arms of Arthur (Austin Pendleton), a middle-aged Jewish man trying to avoid both himself and his culpability in the death of a young woman; Susan his wife (Annette Benda-Fox), who has failed to provide the emotional refuge she'd promised and Gary (Peter Collier), an oh-so-much younger actor who believes it is his job to save them all. Rounding out the crew (Karina Ortiz) is a Latina powerhouse who with her sidekick lady love (Connie Castanzo) plays with unquestioned stereotypes to acquire power she glamorously wields in heels.
PERFORMANCE SCHEDULE:
WEDNESDAY thru FRIDAY @ 8 PM
SATURDAY & SUNDAY @ 7 PM
