Jesus Hopped the a Train

An intense, chilling take on life behind bars, JESUS HOPPED THE A TRAIN strikes a fine balance of intellectual vigor and sophistication on the one hand and so much anguished passion on the other (The New York Times). After our successful 2003 production of Guirgis Our Lady of 121st Street, L.A. Theatre Works is delighted to present this riveting work from the recipient of the 2006 P.E.N. Literary Award for Drama, which cites him as creating a theatre that feels vital, political, intimate and undeniably of the moment.
