Miracle Theatre Group Announces Additional Performance of GARCIA GIRLS, 4/17

Due to popular demand and several sold-out performances, Miracle Theatre Group is pleased to announce an additional opportunity to see "How the García Girls Lost their Accents" at 2:00 p.m., Saturday April 17, 2010. Tickets for this matinee are $22 ($16 for students/seniors) from 503-236-7253 or www.milagro.org.

Uprooted from their home in the Dominican Republic, the four García sisters arrive in New York City in 1960 to find a life far different from the genteel existence of maids, manicures and extended family they left behind. As they plunge headfirst into the freewheeling American mainstream with its dizzying choices and challenges, they remain forever caught between the old world and the new. What they have lost - and gained - is revealed in this provocative story bursting with passion.

"How the García Girls Lost their Accents" was picked by NY Librarians as one of 21 classics for 21st century, including "The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank"; "The Elements of Style" by William Strunk and E.B. White; "Invisible Man" by Ralph Ellison, "One Hundred Years of Solitude" by Gabriel García Marquez; "Song of Solomon" by Toni Morrison; and "The Woman Warrior" by Maxine Hong Kingston (September 13, 1999).

The Miracle Theatre Group has been dedicated to bringing the vibrancy of Latino theatre to the Northwest community and beyond for more than 25 years. In addition to its national tours, Miracle provides a home for Spanish and Latin American arts and culture at El Centro Milagro, where it enriches the local community with a variety of community outreach projects and educational programs designed to share the diversity of Latino culture.
