NEW MEXICO GLBTQ CENTERS PRESENTS
JADE ESTEBAN ESTRADA

TORTILLA HEAVEN


7:00PM AT THE UNITARIAN UNIVERSALIST CHURCH
LAS CRUCES


MEET AND GREET RECEPTION FOLLOWING PERFORMANCE








"Tortilla Heaven" is a solo play performed by Comedy Central star Jade Esteban Estrada. The show is comedic yet very real story of first, second and third generations Mexicans trying to relate to one another. First generations living a humble life and making home feel more like home, second generations abandoning their roots in order to assimilate to the big city life and the third generations trying to understand it all without knowing the language of his people. When generations finally meet, speaking the same language seems to be the easy part of a difficult journey of understanding why your family is so different. Whether you love them or hate them, they are going to be there when you need help the most!
