THE HATCHERY New Works Festival to Return With Expanded Format
Many Hats Collaboration will present the third year of THE HATCHERY, adding a second festival day and an extra rehearsal week at The Judy in Portland, Oregon.
A new musical adapted from the award-winning Peruvian film Contracorriente, with music and lyrics by Eric Nordin and book by Javier Fuentes-León and Eric Nordin. In a close-knit seaside village, Miguel hides his true identity and secret affair with Santiago while playing the Golden Boy as he and his wife await their first child. When an accident shifts this precarious balance, Santiago must ask Miguel for one final act of love that will cost him everything. Featuring Illya de Torres, Pedro Dominguez, Alec Lugo, Nick Medina, Mila Ortiz, Cassandra Pangelinan, Aurora Primavera, Matt Sepeda, Soulynn Perez, and Julana Torres.
