CANTA Y NO LLORES
(Sing and Don't Cry)
Created by Martín Milagro
An original, bilingual Day of the Dead celebration
October 30-November 15, 2009
Every fall, the dead are commemorated in a lively show of dance, music and theatre in Portland’s longest-running Day of the Dead celebration. This year, los muertos return singing old-time tunes that harken back to another era when times were tough and tradition was one of the few things folks could call their own. In the middle of the Great Depression at a camp near where WPA workers are constructing Oregon’s Timberline Lodge, five strangers arrive from different parts of the country in search of work and a place to call home. Even as they must shed one way of life for another, and though they have lost everything they hold dear, optimism lives on. Funny and irreverent, Canta y no llores (Sing and Don’t Cry) reminds us all that the only thing to fear — in life or death — is fear itself.

ENTRE VILLA Y UNA MUJER DESNUDA
(Between Pancho Villa and a Naked Woman)
Written by Sabina Berman
February 12-March 6, 2010
Presented in Spanish with English subtitles at all performances
In this modern comedy, Gina wants more out of her casual relationship with Adrián, a liberal intellectual who’s in it only for some good sex. Adrián shies away from any form of commitment — that is, until Gina takes up with a younger, sensitive lover. That’s when the spirit of Mexico’s most famous revolutionary rides again, appearing as Adrián’s macho conscience ready to do anything to win this battle of the sexes. |

HOW THE GARCÍA GIRLS LOST THEIR ACCENTS
A play by Karen Zacarías based on the novel by Julia Alvarez
March 26-April 17, 2010
Uprooted from their home in the Dominican Republic, the four García sisters arrive in New York City in 1960 to find a life far different from the genteel existence of maids, manicures and extended family they left behind. As they plunge headfirst into the freewheeling American mainstream with its dizzying choices and challenges, they remain forever caught between the old world and the new. What they have lost — and gained — is revealed in this provocative story bursting with passion. |

EL QUIJOTE
An original bilingual adaptation of a play written by Santiago García based on the novel by Miguel de Cervantes
May 7-29, 2010
To see the world through the eyes of Don Quijote is to embrace life as the fullest adventure. From windmills to wenches, this knight-errant, in the company of his humble squire Sancho Panza, continues to roam the world and spark our imagination as he has for some four hundred years. And this lusty adaptation of Cervantes’ classic — filled with a muscular theatricality — proves the power of imagination to overcome the vagaries of life. |
