Inspired by the classic film, Nayeli and her two friends journey north to Los Yunaites in search of her father and seven strong men to save their small Mexican village of Tres Camarones, which is currently under threat of narco-traficantes and extinction. This new play, commissioned by Milagro, is written by Karen Zacarías, award-winning playwright of How the Garcia Girls Lost Their Accents and Mariela in the Desert, and is based on the novel Into the Beautiful North by Pulitzer Prize Finalist Luis Alberto Urrea.

Theatre Vertigo presents…
 Love and Information by Caryl Churchill:
 Directed by Michelle Seaton
Love and Information Image 2Love and Information premiered at the Royal Court Theatre in London in 2012 and had its US premiere at New York Theatre Workshop in 2014.
 Someone sneezes. Someone can’t get a signal. Someone won’t answer the door. Someone put an elephant on the stairs. Someone’s not ready to talk. Someone is her brother’s mother. Someone hates irrational numbers. Someone told the police. Someone got a message from the traffic light. Someone’s never felt like this before. In this fast moving kaleidoscope, more than a hundred characters try to make sense of what they know.
Performances are through May 7th at Shoebox Theatre
2110 SE 10th Ave, Portland, OR 97214
Thursday – Saturday @ 7:30pm
Sunday @ 2:00pm, with additional 7:30pm performances on April 24 and May 1 (there is no Sunday performance on April 10)
