Mixing realism, fantasy, and stylized choreography, Corazón de Manzana intertwines the lives of three mother/daughter pairs living in Canada, the United States, and Mexico to the tragic femicide occurring in Juárez, Mexico. A desperate cry for help reaches across borders to begin an investigation into a mother's plea to find her missing daughter. As the discovery into the child's disappearance unfolds, the connections between suffering and privilege in the three countries come into dramatic and heart-wrenching clarity.
This project is supported by a Community Arts Assistance Program grant from the City of Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs and Illinois Arts Council, a state agency.

Opening April 8th at the Athenaeum Theatre in Chicago, Mortar Theatre presents the Chicago premiere of Samuel D. Hunter's I AM MONTANA directed by Rachel Edwards Harvith.
http://MortarThea...
Eben Shamir has just returned home to Montana from a traumatic stint in the Israeli army. Back to work at his minimum-wage job with retail giant Valumart, he begins a cross-country journey with coworkers Tommy, his best friend since childhood, and Dirk, a meth-addicted new employee, to the national Valumart convention. Navigating between fantasy and reality, the present and a haunted past, Tommy learns that Eben has much bigger plans for the Valumart convention than a simple presentation on the future of retail. I Am Montana is a gripping examination of the position minimum-wage workers hold in an increasingly mega-store occupied America.
Derek Garza as Eben Shamir.
Video & Design by Douglas Tyler and Michelle Underwood.
