Audiences rave about "Oedipus el Rey"
"Miracle Theatre's production of Oedipus el Rey is an intensely passionate dance with fate, with the entire ensemble directed by Elizabeth Huffman maintaining a driving rhythm of speech and movement leading to the inevitable conclusion. It is poetry, dance, beauty and violence all set in the mean streets or cell blocks of L.A. while retelling the ancient Greek story with a force that speaks to us today. Magnificent! Olga Sanchez Saltveit is really hot as Jocasta. Don't miss this!" - Ronni Lacroute
"Just saw Oedipus el Rey. What a fabulous production! The acting was great, as was the staging & costumes. Hats off to director, Elizabeth Huffman for such an imaginative production. ¡Bravo a todos!" - Karen McCandless Buck
"Saw Oedipus el Rey at Milagro Theatre and loved it! This is an exciting modern, Chicano adaptation by Luis Alfaro of Oedipus the King. The acting was superb with a great set, music and lighting. This story which includes prison scenes, streets fights has also a bittersweet love story." - Eleanor Flores
