Having dedicated her life to religious service, Shelley runs a Bronx soup kitchen with unsentimental efficiency, but lately her heart's not quite in it. Her brisk nature masks an unsettling fear that her efforts are meaningless. When Emma — an idealistic but confused college dropout — arrives to volunteer, her reckless mix of generosity and self-involvement pushes Shelley to the breaking point. With keen humor and startling compassion, this fascinating play navigates the mystery of faith, the limits of forgiveness, and the pursuit of something resembling joy.
"Grand Concourse may well break your heart. You may need tissues by the end." —New York Post
"Insightful with a moving, even shocking epiphany." —Huffington Post
Grand Concourse [is] a brutal response to the notion of unconditional forgiveness and never-ending charity. With its pointed perspective and merciless plot, Grand Concourse is likely to rouse flashes of anger and sadness. A master provocateur of a playwright, it's nearly impossible to walk away unscathed by Scheck's harrowing tale." —TheatreMania
