A post-apocalyptic comedy with a side of existential dread

 “Welcome to Tyler’s, where a stranger is just a friend waiting to happen.“

Come meet the idiosyncratic, delightfully panicked community who works and shops at Tyler’s, a grocery store at the edge of the world. The Baker knits in the breakroom, while the Butcher laments a time gone by. In the cold air pouring from an open freezer case, The Wife and Mother dreams of a life she failed to live. By the dumpster in the alley, the cashier communes with the coyote, vaping and laughing, baring bellies and swapping secrets. Tenderness resides here. 

Do you, dear theatergoer, currently find yourself disoriented, disassociated, confused as to where to find “reality?” Do you yearn for less screen time, better dreams, and a fresh head of lettuce plucked from the ground? Then these are your people, this is your theatre.

In Frozen Section, an intentional community of shoppers and workers reckons with the recent arrival of a trickster coyote and supports their youngest, Sage, as they prepare to move on to a new city, a new life.Read more

Monólogos de la Vagina es una obra episódica escrita por Eve Ensler, resultado de 200 entrevistas que realizó a mujeres de diferentes partes del mundo. Ensler lee el texto en el Westside Theatre fuera de Broadway después de una presentación limitada en HERE arts Center en 1996, y a partir de ese momento comienza una exitosa carrera que se ha presentado en diversos idiomas. La pieza está compuesta por 9 monólogos y 3 conversatorios, lecturas dramatizadas representadas por mujeres. La Vagina es el tema recurrente a lo largo de la pieza como herramienta de empoderamiento femenino y la máxima encarnación de la individualidad, a través del sexo, el amor, la violación, la menstruación, la mutilación, la masturbación, el parto, el orgasmo, la variedad de nombres para la vagina, o simplemente como un aspecto físico del cuerpo.

Nuestra versión, dirigida por Manuel Mendoza, es leída en ESPAÑOL por tres actrices y a lo largo de su puesta ha contado con mas de 50 artistas latinas consagradas y de gran prestigio, destacando en esta ocasión el talento y reconocida trayectoria de Fabiola Colmenares, Elba Escobar y Judith González.Read more
