Dia de los Muertos: The year is 1916. The world is at war. Kings are falling, and empires are crumbling. And into a small Mexican village near the U.S. border walks Devlyn Byrne, newly arrived from Ireland. There, she meets Pablo Carrillo, a Mexican doctor, and together they embark on a journey for the honor of both families. Or so Pablo believes. Devlyn certainly has a hidden agenda she is not ready to reveal. Dia de los Muertos is a daring new play from Core Creative Productions. Told in English and Spanish, it is both a tale of magical realism and a deconstructed Western.
Dia de los Muertos is a story of individuals struggling to be true to themselves in a world disintegrating into violence. And in such a place and in such a time, only one can grow into something more while another descends into darkness.
CAST: Alberto Bonilla*,Ariel Bonilla*, Ryan Wesley Brown, Javier E. Gomez*, Eevin Hartsough*

Core Creative Productions consists of director and actor Alberto Bonilla ["Albert Bonilla has created a powerful world with these actors, with this place, with calibrated movement and timing. Delightful, dark, dismaying, resonant, uplifting" (Urban Excavations)]; actor Elizabeth Ingram ["Elizabeth Inghram is a scene-stealing delight as the saucy and pragmatic Polly" (Backstage)]; and playwright Anthony P. Pennino ["Meditations from North America is raw and emotional and unpolished, which is probably why it's finally so cathartic" (nytheatre.com)] Company website: http://corecreativeproductions.com
