Milagro Theate, 525 S.E. Stark St., kicks off its 36th season and this year’s Day of the Dead production with the world premiere of Amor
Añejo, an original work that dives into a world of aging, loss and love.
Death Can Never Part Them
Portland’s premiere Latino theater group Mi-
lagro presents its 24th annual Day of the Dead
(Día de Muertos) production with Amor Añejo,
a bilingual play that dives into a world of aging,
loss and love.
An original new play directed by Elizabeth
Huffman, Amor Añejo is now showing through
Nov. 10 on the Milagro Main Stage, 525 S.E.
Stark St.
The story follows the highs and lows of Hec-
tor and Rosalita’s decades-long romance until
the very last drop. It’s when one crosses over
to the other side that Bombón steps in, the
shape-shifter of the underworld, who guides
their hearts back to the place where death can
never part them, in memories and dance.
The play is Huffman’s fourth show to direct
at Milagro theatre, and her first time writing and
creating a Diá de Los Muertos show.
Tickets are $20 to $32. Milago also partic-
ipates in Arts for All, providing a $5 admis-
sion with an Oregon Trail Card. Call the box
office at 503-236-7253 or visit milagro.org
for details.
