OUR LADY OF THE TORTILLA
by LUIS SANTEIRO, directed by VONETTA MIXSON
Seeing the face of the Holy Virgin in a tortilla 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.

An intimate and unique experience, IVRT now performs full performances of plays and musicals at Eddie’s Italian Eatery (1065 W. Foothill Blvd., Claremont). Your ticket includes a pre-fixe 3-course meal with soft beverage, tax and gratuity all included. Wine and beer may be purchased separately.
