Chicago’s Visión Latino Theatre Company (VLTC) presents the Midwest premiere of That Must Be The Entrance to Heaven, October 14 - November 5, 2023 at UrbanTheater, 2620 West Division St. in Chicago’s Humboldt Park community.

Glory. Survival. Legacy. Citizenship. In That Must Be The Entrance to Heaven, four Latino boxers all chase a world title to achieve their personal versions of heaven. But to get there, they must battle each other, their own battered bodies, and the universe itself. All four men walk the line between life and death in this poignant, poetic collision of combat and cosmos.
Join Visión, a company that celebrates Latinx stories and artists, for an unforgettable theatrical experience that explores the human spirit's resilience, the sacrifices we make in pursuit of our dreams, and the intricate interplay between competition and camaraderie.
