Ex-cop and recent widower Walter “Pops” Washington and his newly paroled son Junior have spent a lifetime living between Riverside and crazy. But now, the NYPD is demanding his signature to close an outstanding lawsuit, the landlord wants him out, the liquor store is closed—and the church won’t leave him alone. When the struggle to keep one of New York City’s last great rent-stabilized apartments collides with old wounds, sketchy new houseguests, and a final ultimatum, it seems that the old days may be dead and gone.
Authenticity Theater is proud to present this raw, riveting, and unexpectedly hilarious play that explores the complexities of race, justice, and redemption with biting humor and emotional depth.
“RIVERSIDE explores, with both street-smart, sometimes-profane wit and disarming tenderness, the different ways in which we cling to, reject and exploit faith. Never one to settle for simple answers or snarky observations, Guirgis portrays his characters, and their twisting journeys, with humor and compassion.” —USA Today.
8 performances – October 23rd through November 1st at 7 Stages Backstage Theatre in Atlanta’s Little Five Points.
Directed by Robby Myles. Starring Keith Franklin, Darrell Grant, Gracie Rodriguez, Mateo-Lucian Diaz, Neuma Joy, Sasha Keefer, and Taurean Cavins-Flores.
BETWEEN RIVERSIDE AND CRAZY is made possible in part by the generous support of the Community Foundation for Greater Atlanta.
