"Tortilla Heaven" is  a solo play performed by Jade Esteban Estrada. “
Tortilla Heaven” 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!

What is running time  on the show?      

Running  time on "Tortilla Heaven" is 65 minutes. The show is played with no  
intermission.      


Is  there any Spanish spoken in the  show?       

"Tortilla  Heaven" contains dialogue in both English and  Spanish.       


I  don't understand Spanish. Would I still enjoy the  show?      

Celeste  Angela Estrada wrote "Tortilla Heaven" with both Spanish-speakers 
and  non-Spanish speakers in mind. Everyone will understand the storyline by  
following the context, script and body language. The older characters in the  
play speak Spanish and Spanglish (or Tex-Mex) while the younger generations  
strictly speak English.
