Queer author and activist Tommi Avicolli Mecca debuts his new work,
"the aching in god's heart," March 16-18, 8pm and March 19 at 5pm at
Theatre St. Boniface, 175 Golden Gate/Leavenworth.

The play takes a hard look at the meaning of love and family. Sofia,
a dutiful daughter who has given up everything to take care of la
famiglia, is suddenly forced to face the truth about her life of
devotion. "The play really looks at the conflict that develops
between 'la via vecchia' (the old ways) of the working-class
immigrant generation and those of the first generation born here in
America. It's the Italian/American story we don't see on TV or in the
movies," says author Avicolli Mecca.

The cast includes activists Renee Saucedo, Diana Hartman, Giancarlo
Campagna and Avicolli Mecca. All proceeds benefit Housing Rights
Committee, Day Laborers Program, St. Boniface Neighborhood Center and
Family Link.
