**** Recommended **** “St. Jude” is the third play in Victory Gardens’ Up Close and Personal Series. As he drives down Highway 55, Luis Alfaro reflects on his childhood in California’s Central Valley. St. Jude is the name of a hospital important to the Alfaro family. Alfaro uses humor, music and audience participation in his poignant tribute to his father. 4 Spotlights
