An inspiring play about families and friends, living and loving in the age of AIDS

This play has had people laughing and crying everywhere it has played

It is an exploration of several families from vastly different cultures, all of which are dealing with AIDS in some way

Told through an ingenious dove-tailing of monologues, we feel that they, and we, are all part of a single family

We meet a young, vibrant Hispanic girl, who recalls growing up with her favorite uncle Carlos, and how she gradually came to realize he had AIDS

We are moved by an Italian-American woman in her late 60s whose strong family values are never the same after her son admits he is gay and that he has AIDS

We hear from a 17-year old white male who is dealing with raging hormones and sexual responsibility

We eavesdrop on an African-American woman in her mid-40s as she recalls her early years with her soon-to-be-husband, who contracted AIDS from an extra-marital affair, and has given her the disease

And we observe an African-American man in his mid-30s reach into the hospital crib of his daughter, who is dying from the effects of her mother's drug addiction
