Photos: SOTTO VOCE At Tacoma Little Theatre
John Pedro, Sharry O'Hare, and Valeria Sanchez-Jimenez star in the production, with photos by Dennis K Photography.
Tacoma Little Theatre will present Sotto Voce, by the Pulitzer Prize winning Nilo Cruz, to its stage. This lyrical and haunting exploration of memory, love, and the echoes of history will play from June 5-June 21, 2026. Check out photos of the show.
Saquiel, a young Cuban man obsessed with the M.S. St. Louis—a ship of Jewish refugees turned away from American shores in 1939—seeks out Bemadette Kahn, an aging German-born writer who lost her lover in that tragic voyage. As they form an unconventional bond through phone calls and imagined conversations, Bemadette confronts long-buried grief. Through poetic language and magical realism, Sotto Voce intertwines past and present, exile and longing, and the lingering weight of history.
Tacoma Little Theatre’s production of Sotto Voce features the talents of Sharry O’Hare as Bemadette Kahn, John Pedro as Saquiel Rafaeli, and Valeria Sanchez-Jimenez as Lucila Pulpo.
The production team features: Maria Valenzuela (Director), Kaylie Holcomb (Stage Manager), Blake R. York (Scenic and Projection Design), Michele Graves (Costume Design), Madeleine Arnold (Props Design), Alonna Hall (Lighting Design), and Chandler Garry (Sound Design).
