Detroit Repertory Theatre

Spit In Your Face
by Paul Heller and Alberto Lomnitz

WORLD PREMIERE POLITICAL SATIRE

May 29 to June 28, 2026

“We didn’t have these kinds of fights in my high school theater club.”

As the only Mexican-American in a San Francisco theater company, Liliana finds herself in the thorny position of having to realize the vision of two men, each of whom thinks he knows how to speak to the audience they serve.

This new play is a bombastic and hilarious look at modern politics and absurd theatre.
