The Hollywood Theater in

Clara, Mexico, where the
spirits return once a year
for the Day of the Dead,
and Salma, a 16-year-old
orphan who has never met
her biological parents.
Salma has spent most

any memories or keepsakes
to put on their altar on the
Day of the Dead, Salma is
lost with how to bring them
back to meet her.
Discover the Shocking Truth

can-American couple displaced
by Hurricane Katrina and haunted

The spooky and heartfelt story is
from award-winning Los Angeles
playwright Prince Gomolvilas and
shows Friday, Oct. 25 through Nov.

leigh. The play is co-produced by

A powerful opera that forces
American audiences to consider our
history, culture and the unknown
victims of our past foreign poli-
cy opens at Keller Auditorium this
weekend thanks to Portland Opera’s
production of “Madama Butterfly.”
The Giacomo Puccini master-
piece is one of the most powerful

“Madama Butterfly” tells the

Japan, in 1904. She waits for the re-
turn of her beloved B.F. Pinkerton, a
lieutenant in the United States Navy.
When his ship comes in, her dreams
for the future meet his – with tragic
and heartbreaking results.
“Madama Butterfly” has four per-
