MARISOL
Oct 3–10, 2026
By Jose Rivera
Directed by Edward Torres

Marisol Perez, a young Puerto Rican woman and copy editor for a Manhattan publisher, receives an unexpected visit from her guardian angel, who delivers devastating news: she can no longer protect Marisol. She has been called to join a revolution already underway against an old, senile God who is dying—and “taking the rest of the universe with him.”

As the war in heaven spills into New York City, the world Marisol knows collapses into a smoldering urban wasteland. Giant fires darken the skies with toxic smoke. The moon has disappeared. Food turns to salt, water no longer seeks its level, and the boundaries of reality itself begin to break down.

MARISOL is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Dramatists Play Service.
