Ron Domingo and his charming family move beyond the Greeks to embrace the social protest theater of American playwright Clifford Odets.

Building on the critically-acclaimed success of SOPHOCLES IN STATEN ISLAND, Obie-winner and Ma-Yi affiliated artist Ron Domingo, along with his charming family, move beyond the Greeks to embrace the social protest theater of American playwright Clifford Odets. This time, the homeschooled teenage kids are studying the U.S. Labor Market using the plays of Clifford Odets as the take-off points. The results are both eye-opening and hilarious, as the family comes to grips with its place on the labor pecking order.
