"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.
