Please note this event will take place at the Curtis Theatre in Brea, CA.
Originally commissioned by EWP and premiering in 2016, the play follows three professional funeral criers in Monterey Park—Aurora, Remedios, and Eugenia—as they introduce Aurora’s teenage daughter, Ligaya, to their unique profession. But Ligaya, fresh from the Philippines and full of unexpected charm, seems to have a knack for laughter rather than tears, upending the group’s somber rituals and sparking a heartfelt, comic exploration of identity, family, and the immigrant experience.
This one-night event invites audiences to revisit a story that’s as moving as it is hilarious; perfect for longtime fans and those discovering the play for the first time.
