"Ominous Men" is a dark play about race, poverty, drugs, misogyny and violence in America told through a gothic horror and magic realism lens.
Three men are confronted by their ferocious pasts in the abandoned derelict Concourse Plaza Hotel basement on July 13, 1977: Butch, the Nuyorican caretaker who's been digging a pit looking for buried treasure, his nervous cousin Goyo, and Butch's drug sponsor and ex-Black Panther Yancy.
This night of drinking, camaraderie, and “Bones” (dominoes) turns violent when a stranger climbs out of the pit, a Yiddish-speaking Holocaust survivor and a dead woman appear, and the NYC Blackout hits the Bronx
