Jesus Hopped the 'A' Train

CoHo Theater
2257 NW Raleigh Portland

"All I did was shoot him in the ass." Twenty-three hours a day in lockdown, Angel Cruz awaits the verdict of his murder trial. In the company of sociopaths and powermongers, he clutches hold of his humanity, struggling to reconcile how brutal consequences could be born from pure intentions. When a disillusioned public defender becomes emotionally attached to Angel's case, ethical lines are blurred in the pursuit of justice within a broken system. Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Stephen Adly Guirgis aims straight for the soul in this primal scream of a play. Co-produced by Beirut Wedding World Theatre Project, Jesus Hopped the 'A' Train is the final stop in CoHo's Season 23.
