Synopsis

Time moves differently in Skid Row, Los Angeles, where artists rub shoulders with lawyers, pastors, social workers, and b-ball players. From the benches of Julian Park to the walls of an intimate apartment and a raucous karaoke hall, Love on San Pedro, Cornerstone's fourth play in The Hunger Cycle, weaves an unlikely love story.

Shunned by her community, Majorie's weariness drags time to a near standstill. But when she's wooed by a man whose hope and hoop-shots know no bounds, her world speeds up fast. Meet Skid Row's intricate and vibrant community. A mere square mile of Downtown streets where the moon shines brightest in the darkest corners.
