Portland's Latino theater group. Miracle Theater presents
“Boom-crackle-fly,” a world premier production written by
Charise Castro Smith and directed by Olga Sanchez.
Presented in English, the play weaves together in a clever
combination of science fiction and magical realism three
seemingly disparate stories.
In a New York barrio, a female impersonator ignores the
advice of an imaginary grandmother to fall in love with an
insatiable scientist; in a Key West circus, two acrobat sisters
are divided over the. ghost of Ernest Hemingway; and in
revolutionary Havana, a man who wishes he had wings
yearns to By away to another land.
The preview performance is scheduled Thursday, March
16 at Milagro Theatre, 525 S.E. Stark St., with the opening
night coming the following Friday, March 25. The production
will continue shows through April 16.
