Marvin Felix Camillo AKA Pancho spent his life to help rehabilitate incarcerated and less fortunate people, primarily people of color through The Family Repertory Company. He, along with his co-artistic director Colleen Dewhurst, had the support of Joe Papp and The Public Theatre, Al Pacino and Raul Julia to name a few and they brought SHORT EYES to Broadway.
As an actress and singer, Francine Mancini (the writer of NO U-TURNS A. D.) worked with Pancho way back in the 80’s.
Now his son, Marvin Felix Camillo, Jr. is continuing his legacy of community theatre, to produce NO U-TURNS A. D. in association with RPP by Frankiestylistic.

NO U-TURNS A. D.
A Musical Written by Francine Mancini

WHAT DO 3 WOMEN OF A “CERTAIN” AGE DO WHEN THEY ARE GOING THROUGH DIVORCE???
THEY FORM A ROCK BAND!!!!!!!

Divorce can be difficult at any age but these 3 women of a “certain age” are going through it together. They decide to form a rock band and they share their struggles and their triumphs through rock and roll songs. Angelique is sensitive and thoughtful, Ruli is serious and professional, Kim is free spirited and fun. What they all have in common is age, divorce, friendship, music, strength, passion and what they do AFTER DIVORCE.
Witness their experiences and laugh and cry along with them while they rock out.

NO U-TURNS A.D. is a coming of age story, in reverse!
