Hero Theatre organized a festival last year in celebratio­n of Cuban American playwright María Irene Fornés, a key figure in the off-off-Broadway theater movement who has had an influence on contempora­ry American drama that far exceeds her modest fame.

Attendees of the festival had the opportunit­y to vote on which play should receive a full production. “The Conduct of Life,” one of Fornés’ compact masterpiec­es, was selected. The play is being presented at the Rosenthal Theater at Inner-City Arts
