EL TERREMOTO
Written by Christine Quintana
Reading Directed by Daniela Atiencia
Touchstone Theatre, Neworld Theatre, and the Vancouver Public Library present a reading of El Terremoto by Dora Award-winning playwright Christine Quintana, directed by Daniela Atiencia.
Twenty years have passed since the three Jurado sisters lost their parents, and life just seems to continue on in their East Vancouver home. A birthday party, a failed proposal, and a missed connection fill the days and months until an earthquake nearly destroys the city, and brings forward a shocking turn of events that splits their world wide open.
A full reading by seven actors will be followed by a Q&A with Quintana and Touchstone Theatre Artistic Director Lois Anderson.
