Ay, Carmela!

Theatre Off Jackson
409 7th Avenue S. Seattle

Ay, Carmela! fuses music, vaudeville, fantasy and flamenco into a powerful tragicomedy about love, loss and the devastating personal effects of war. For traveling performers Carmela and Paulino, their comedy act is the only way to find any light during the devastating darkness of the Spanish Civil War. But when a sudden twist of fate thrusts them behind enemy lines, the two are forced to entertain military officials and prisoners in an effort to survive. Latino Theatre Project stages this acclaimed work by award-winning playwright Jose Sanchis Sinisterra at Seattle's Theatre Off Jackson.
