What is "Nuevo California"?
NUEVO CALIFORNIA
By Bernardo Solano and Allan Havis
October 27-November 6, 2016
For tickets and information please visit crt.uconn.edu or call 860-486-2113.
In 1998, playwrights Bernardo Solano and Allan Havis interviewed over 200 residents of San Diego, Tijuana, and Mexicali asking a simple question, “Would we be better off with or without a wall between the two countries?” The result is this prescient futuristic fantasy. It’s 2028, an earthquake has wiped out L.A. and Orange County. A Mexican-American pope comes to the region to bless the demolition of the border wall inspiring murder; mystery and a budding bicultural romance. Nuevo California examines the question, “Is it possible that this community born fantasy is becoming tomorrow’s reality?”

Music: La Llorona by Chavela Vargas
