Teatro Luna Returns to 16th Street Theater With S-E-X-OH! (The Remix)

16th Street Theater brings Teatro Luna's highly recommended hit S-E-X-OH! to the Berwyn Cultural Center for a 4-week limited engagement March 6 - 29, 2009. Press opening is Sunday, March 8 at 5:00 PM. After last year's sold-out run of MACHOS, Teatro Luna returns with their 2006 smash S-E-X-OH! (THE REMIX) featuring a whole new crop of latina talent.

Originally produced to great acclaim and sold-out houses in 2006, S-E-X-Oh! is Teatro Luna's fourth original ensemble built show, taking up the intersections between sex, gender, and latinidad. Based on Teatro Luna's true life stories, plus a few strategic re-imaginings, S-E-X-Oh! takes aim at sexuality in irreverent and fearless Teatro Luna fashion: Anything from the Virgin Mary to Biblical Stories; from Video Games to Trader Joe's, is up for grabs.

S-E-X-OH has some strong language and is presented In English with a sprinkle of Spanish

Ensemble members Yadira Correa (MACHOS, Jarred) and Dana Cruz (SOLO tu, Jarred) revamp this Luna classic along with associate director Tanya Saracho (Jarred, Quita Mitos) and designers Tamara Roberts (Sound Design ), Mac Vaughey ( Lighting Design ), and Angela Erickson (Set Design).
