Free. (Though donations are appreciated!)ABOUT THE PLAY“Secrets; Love” by Summer Dawn is a tale set in a modern city about crimes of passion and the nature of love – how we feel it, how we express it and how it can be a powerful secret when hidden.The play opens with a diverse neighborhood dealing with the recent kidnapping of two members of their Filipino community – Rizalia Salem, the wife of Marcus Salem, and Marcus’s best friend Marton, at the wedding of the Salems’ oldest child.When their next-door neighbor Diego Carbonell hears mysterious, terrifying sounds coming from their house, however, he begins thinking that the truth may be darker than anyone suspects. Together with the Salems’ daughter Luz, he puts the pieces together and discovers the lengths some would go to for love.“Secrets; Love” was sponsored by the Monroe Center for the Arts in Hoboken, where it had a hugely successful run, and was part of the Downtown Urban Arts Festival (then Downtown Urban Theater Festival) in Manhattan in 2012.ABOUT THE CASTMarcus Salem: Stan VidalRizalia Salem: Summer Dawn, originally played by Siouxsie SuarezLuz Salem: Liliane WolfDiego Carbonell: Jean-Pierre MestanzaGisele/Mira Woldmichael: Katie Colaneri, orig.
