Fresh on the heels of Jewish Theatre Collaborative’s ingenious dark satire, The Ministry of Special Cases, Milagro is busy building the set for our upcoming, season-closing show, American Night: the Ballad of Juan José, preparing for its Portland premiere on May 1 (preview on April 30). Perhaps representative of the land of opportunity, the set for this sharp-witted ride through US history features a lot of doorways. Then again, the design by Megan Wilkerson may just need all these entrances for the dozens of characters played by our...
