Trysts in Toledo
January 2
In the late sixteen hundreds, witty cloak and dagger romances set the fashion for the Golden Age of Spanish literature. These entertaining plays were filled with wit, intellect and mischievous humor that thoroughly delighted the Spanish playgoers. Trysts in Toledo follows the romantic confusions of a houseful of young nobles and their roguish servants. Astonishingly, one of the greatest literary figures of that time was a nun, Sor Juana, living in “New Spain” which we now call Mexico. Her work displays verbal ingenuity; a dizzyingly complex plot played at top speed, and shamelessly wears its fun-making on its sleeve. A passionate advocate of women’s rights, Sor Juana has a unique position both in secular literature and in the church.

Look no further if seeking a non-holiday themed show that will, nevertheless, bring joy to the season. Truly a fun show to watch. Features some of the area's best talent, including several actors known for recent dramatic roles reminding us of their ability to shine in comedic roles.
