LUCA & URI
by Nicholas Pilapil
by Nicholas Pilapil
LUCA & URI opens with a breakup between two men fiercely bound bylove yet unable to hold on, tracing the fractured arc of their decade-long relationship in Los Angeles. As their dreams and desires pull them apart, their intimacy dissolves into quiet compromises and mounting silences, exposing the gradual erosion of self. Unfolding like a fractured memory through moments of tenderness, passion, and resentment, the play confronts the cost of staying, the quiet courage it takes to leave, and the heartbreak of loving someone so deeply you begin to disappear inside them.

LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
We acknowledge that we are living and working on the unceded territory of the Tongva and the Kizh people who are the original stewards of this land. We understand that achieving healing and reconciliation will require a long and sustainable commitment; this land acknowledgment is only a first step, but we hope it will help to raise awareness about histories that are often suppressed or forgotten, though very present all around us. We encourage you to look up what land you work on and live on and continue to learn about the indigenous people who made their homes in and around the area we now call Los Angeles.
BACK STORY
Our bi-monthly evening of true stories, poetry and flights of fancy
is back LIVE in the theatre and streaming on Zoom.

Working closely with her students, Maria Gobetti teaches the Meisner basics technique on an individual basis – while also employing available video facilities. Her classes are small – allowing only the best and most dedicated actors. This exclusivity is advantageous in that it gives all the actors an opportunity to work in every class.
