Friday and Saturday, May 16-17, 8pm
Sunday May 18, 2pm

New Mexico premiere of Naomi Iizuka’s wild ride through New York City, Alaska, Hawaii, and Inner Borneo. Aloha, Say the Pretty Girls by Naomi Iizuka follows the lives of eleven ensemble characters played by seven actors from Albuquerque’s In Strange Company. These characters collide as strangers and friends; lovers and acquaintances in diverse areas of the globe including Alaska, Hawaii, New York City, and Inner Borneo. Iizuka describes our world as “chaotic and a little bit random, and at times downright unfriendly.” This play explores the idea of our world when it meets Saturn Returns, a period of astrology, between the ages of 28 and 30, when the planet Saturn completes its cycle through one’s birth chart and returns to the spot it occupied when the person was born—a time characterized by endings and new beginnings.

Tickets: $15 general; $10 students/seniors

A jewel disappears from a golden statue. Seems like a cut-and-dry case, but nothing is as it seems in The Jeweled Eye, a 1940’s Noir mystery by Equilibrium, VSA’s mixed ability theater company. Resident mixed ability dance company Buen Viaje performs Kinosphere, a 2007-2008 repertory of new work and past favorites, such as For Roger, The Love Beneath, Going Bananas, and Maybe It Is.
