PLEASE TAKE A NUMBER
New York City welfare recipients have broken into their local welfare office after hours and created their own system, "Well Faire." As they let go, all rules are off, and these citizens really tell what fare they would pay to be well. PLEASE TAKE A NUMBER is a collection of characters standing at the crossroads of passivity and leadership. Find out what it means to fight for survival and individuality when you are told to PLEASE TAKE A NUMBER!
Experience an authentic piece of New York City on the left coast! This highly acclaimed show is written and performed by Nia Orms & directed by Oz Scott and IS BACK FOR 5 WEEKS ONLY!!!
