Summary

New Works Festival Year 3, showcasing the emerging voices of the School’s graduating MFA Dramatic Writing students.

Play 3: Between Fresno and Hell

By Joseph D. Valdez
Directed by Danyé Brown

It’s 110 degrees. Everything is seemingly on fire. A global pandemic destabilizes and divides communities. Mike and his family find themselves in the last place they want to be: the Central California Valley for his wife’s medical residency. Mike is left to unpack his new life and create a home for his family, but he starts to self-destruct. His daughter gets sick, his marriage becomes strained and his relationship with his mother may be lost forever. It seems that there might be only one person who can help: a mural of “Heartthrob Jesus” painted on the wall.
