In My Father’s House, A play by Jacalyn Kane
In My Father’s House follows the romantic and poignant love story of Alana & Angel. The multi-generational story focuses on a young Jewish woman living with her parents in Beverly Hills while in graduate school to become a social worker. She ventures to East LA for her studies/work and unexpectedly meets Angel, a young Latino, ex-gang member, who works in his mom’s cafe. What ensues is a culture clash, the eventual falling in love of Angel and Alana and her Father’s deep disapproval. The relevant and timely story touches on gang and police violence, anti-semitism, racism and the eventual embracing of two different cultures.
In My Father’s House is written and directed by Jacalyn Kane, and produced by Teatro Paraguas and Kane Productions.
