"By the Waters of Babylon" by Robert Schenkkan
Catherine is a professor's widow, living as a recluse in Austin, TX, the object of much gossip and suspicion in her neighborhood, due to events surrounding her husband's death. Arturo is a Afro-Cuban refugee, a writer struggling to survive as a gardener, summoned to tame Catherine's chaotic back yard. Both are haunted by the ghosts of their previous lives, and both are victims of actions done in service of survival. Through an intense afternoon and evening, Arturo and Catherine will embark on a journey through their deepest fears and desires, and ultimately, find themselves on the shore of a new beginning.
An engrossing contemporary drama from Pulitzer Prize winner Robert Schenkkan ("All the Way" HBO, Bryan Cranston; and Broadway's "The Kentucky Cycle") "By the Waters of Babylon" examines two cultures and their meeting together on common ground...
Note: Adult Themes.
Directed by: Bruce Bierman
Starring: Neva Hutchinson*, and
Miami actor Michael Angelo Gonzalez
Set Design: Brian Cagle / Lighting Design: Ian Walker / Graphics by Cale Peeples.
*Member Actors Equity Association

Critic's Quote:
“Neva Hutchinson is delightful as Catherine. She exudes smooth graciousness, speaking in an effusive Texas patter sprinkled with colorful verbiage and reflecting a solid grounding in reason and an underlying intellect. She is lonely and engages Arturo in polite conversation when he commences working for her. Michael Angelo Gonzalez is Arturo. He takes his character through layers of emotion and involvement, at first informed by his subservient relationship to his employer, but later emboldened by Catherine’s increasing familiarity.” – Victor Cordell, For All Events
