Chicago's TEATRO LUNA Plays Teatro Paraguas Tonight

Teatro Luna is breaking free of Chicago for the summer to bring their groundbreaking work to Teatro Paraguas in Santa Fe, NM tonight, June 25 and Wednesday, June 26 at 8:00 pm.

Luna has been called "Theatre that matters" by the New York Times and is America's only Pan-Latina theatre company producing a full season of work. The Chicago Tribune says that Luna "...wears its Latina cultural specificity with an ease that is both rich and fully American" and that they are "hugely entertaining" by New City. Teatro Luna is currently touring throughout Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California in preparation for their first appearance at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in August!

Using monologues, songs, improv, scenes and poetry, the Ladies of Luna delve into a whole slew of issues ranging from our sexuality, latinidad, adventures in immigrant story archives, unfortunate racist encounters we've lived through, and the sometimes self-­induced drama that makes up our lives as Latinas in the USA. "Chicago audiences have seen our shows for the past twelve years," says Executive Director Alex Meda. "So it's incredibly exciting for us to share our autobiographical and ethnographic work with communities who might not have had access to us before."

Teatro Luno has picked twenty of our favorite pieces from recent productions, and through a series of random draws, Twitter battles and loteria games, the audience picks the twelve pieces they want to see. The show is different every night, and every night, the actors are as surprised by the outcome as the audience. Anything can happen with the Ladies of Luna!
