ialto Community Players are set for the production Our Lady Of The Tortilla this month. Written by Luis Santeiro and directed by Candy Kane, the comedy involves the Cruz family, a volatile group even in the best of times. Synopsis: On this particular day, Nelson, the youngest son, enters the house in a panic to hide the more obvious religious relics from the sight of his “gringo” girlfriend, who is visiting for the weekend. Nelson’s mother, Dahlia, is obsessed with retrieving her husband from his new girlfriend; and Eddie, her elder son, shows up in a van with his failed life and pregnant girlfriend. But the “real” pandemonium is caused by sweet, longsuffering Dolores, Dahlia’s oldmaid sister, when she sees the face of the Holy Virgin in a tortilla. This miracle brings hordes of believers and reporters to camp out on the Cruz’s lawn to await further miracles. As the family struggles with beliefs and conflicts, old and new, the endurance of family love is revealed to be the real miracle. The cast includes April Bittner, Xochitl Flores, Quentin Marley, Jose Carra, Ana Chocoza and Courtney Tropez. Run dates are Nov. 7, 8, 14, 15, 21, 22 at 8 p.m. with matinee shows Nov. 2, 9, 16, 23 at 2 p.m. at the Sandra R. Courtney Community Theatre, 150 E.
