Love, Mischief and Second Chances
Day of the Dead
play tweaks Don
Juan tale
W hat happens when Don
Juan, a most devilish and infa­
mous romantic, appears in spirit
form to disrupt a Day of the
Dead street th eatre p erfo r-
mance? ¡Viva Don Juan!, of course!
Milagro Theatre’s original, bilingual play is set in the
late 1800s -ju s t prior to the Mexican Revolution - when
a troupe of poor actors has arrived to present its annual
street theatre production of Don Juan Tenorio (a play
that has since become a dia de los muertos tradition in
Mexico).
But amidst the actors’ preparations enters the spirit of
Don Juan himself, quite upset that no one has remem­
bered him on this special day.
Directed by Olga Sanchez, the production plays with
the themes of love, discovering a new perspective on life
and second chances.
An exhibit of Day of the Dead altars created by local
Latino artists will be on display one hour prior to each
performance.
¡Viva Don Juan! runs through Sunday, Nov. 14;
Thursdays at 7:30 p.m., Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m.,
Sundays at 2 p.m., and special shows Wednesday, Nov.
10 at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, Nov. 14 at 7 p.m. For more

Hillsboro nonprofit Bienestar
has been awarded $2.4 million to

farmworker families.
Bienestar has helped provide
affordable housing and resident
services for 460 low-income
families in Aloha, Cornelius, For­
est G ro v e , H illsb o ro and

April 2011.
"We are so grateful to be able
to develop new quality affordable
housing for farmworker families
in Washington County", says
Bienestar Executive D irector
Karen Shawcross. "The need for
quality, safe, affordable homes
with resident services is great for
those who provide essential labor
in our community. We believe that
we have a unique cultural compe­
tency in serving farmworkerfami-
lies, and are looking forward to
breaking ground."
Housing help is crucial as the
estimated median annual income
for a farmworker family in Wash­
ington County is between $ 10,000
and $14,000, according to Or­
egon Employment Department.
The number of farmworkers in
Washington County swells to
18,000 in the harvest season,
and many workers live in un­
san itary , unsafe, and o v e r­
crowded conditions, whether in
labor camps or in private units.
