In partnership with the Downtown Clinic, the production will run from April 4th through April 12th, offering a compelling story that explores trust, sacrifice, and the ethical dilemmas within the medical world.
Directed by Anne Mason and featuring actors Chris Cropley and Kim Lockhart, ROZ AND RAY is set in San Diego during the early years of the AIDS crisis.
