by Tanya Saracho
April 1 – May 1, 2010
Directed by Sandra Marquez
The remount of the critically-acclaimed Jeff-Nominated 2009
production takes place at the 5-year anniversary of the Holy
sighting under the bridge. The same week that Rome announced
a new Pope, a woman driving home from work spotted an image
of the Virgin Mary on a discolored wall of the Fullerton Avenue
underpass. Inspired by real life interviews, playwright Tanya
Saracho renders the voices of those who were drawn to that
wall, exploring issues of faith and desire in present day
Chicago.
Tanya Saracho returns
to 16th Street where her play Kita y Fernanda garnered a Jeff-Nomination
for Best New Work. She is the Co-Founder and Co-Artistic Director
for Teatro Luna, Chicago’s All-Latina Theater Ensemble. "Absolutely
don't miss this really special piece! Saracho's ear is terrific."
– Kelly Kleiman, WBEZ.

On the island of Menorca, an archeological dig reveals human
remains. In the Southern California desert, a border is being
watched and guarded. The present intrudes on the past as boundaries
are set, crossed, and broken. All in the search for the identity
of a woman misplaced.

Road (Jeff Award for New Work), St. Colm’s Inch
and Odin’s Horse. He is a Resident Playwright at
Chicago Dramatists and a recipient of the Ecodrama national

Andrew Morris shares only one thing with former President

home with his partner, the audience is taken on an often comic,
sometimes disturbing tour of the lives of loved ones who still
walk the line. “Johnson creates characters so real you
wonder what will happen to them after the final blackout.”
– Albert Williams, Chicago Reader

Fall to Earth (Steppenwolf), Four Places (Victory
Gardens) and A Blue Moon (Chicago Dramatists). He
