Acclaimed playwright Lisa Loomer pens the first production in Cornerstone Theater Company’s Hunger Cycle with an original work, Café Vida. Chabela and Luz are rival homegirls ready to leave the life and begin anew at Café Vida—the only place in the city that gives young women and their troubled pasts a genuine second chance to start a new life free of violence.

The Hunger Cycle is a series of nine world premiere plays exploring hunger, justice, and food equity issues, spanning six years. Community Partners for The Hunger Cycle include: Homegirl Café, Homeboy Industries, Hunger Action Los Angeles, Solano Canyon Community Garden & Urban Environmental Policy Institute – Occidental College, and
