A Twist of Water February 24, 2011

Route 66 Theatre Company presents the second production of its 2010-2011 season with the world premiere of 'A Twist of Water' by Caitlin Montanye Parrish, co-created with and directed by Erica Weiss. 'A Twist of Water' features Stef Tovar as Noah, a gay, widowed history teacher, raising his adopted African-American daughter Jira (Falashay Pearson) alone in the wake of his husband's death in a car accident. When Jira decides that she wants to seek out her birth mother, Noah's already grief-stricken and strained relationship with his child is pressed to the breaking point. As he struggles to hold on to and rebuild his family, a burgeoning new romance with a younger man (Alex Hugh Brown) serves to complicate matters, but may also be a saving grace.
