On her wedding day, Lulu must confront her brother Papo's legacy of violence before she can feel entitled to happiness. Set in a poetic memory scape that travels between the 1970s and 1990s—from childhood to death row, from white dresses to orange jumpsuits, from murder to redemption—Lulu and Papo discover that what binds them is not only the haunted darkness, but also the freedom to turn on the light. Collaboraction, Teatro Vista and the Goodman join forces to present this world premiere production, directed by Anthony Moseley.
Featuring ensemble members Sandra Delgado, Juan Villa, Eddie Torres and Christina Nieves.

A Macedonio Guerra is a middle rank pro wrestler who may have discovered his ticket to the big time, an impossibly charismatic, hip-hop-influenced Indian kid from Brooklyn. Their boss has the perfect concept for their in-ring alter egos — pair them as a team of terrorists.
Diaz’ smart, comic look at pro wrestling, geopolitics, and refrigerator crispers is a theatrical smack down of dazzling hip-hop language (some of it strong). In addition to generating major buzz at Ignition, Chad was a finalist for the 2008 O'Neill Playwrights Conference, has since won Arizona Theater Company’s National Latino Playwriting Award. Diaz is also a recent addition to Teatro Vista, as one of the company’s newest resident playwrights..
