“CRITIC’S CHOICE - a damn funny show; now it's firing on all cylinders” – Brian Nemtusak w/The Reader



What happens when Mexico’s favorite lady luchadores have to fight it out over the coveted role of Lady Macbeth!!! Mayhem, Mystery, and Aztec Mummies will rise from beyond the grave!


Señor Director (played by Company Member Dennis Frymire) has secured the funds to produce his very first Mexican Shakespearean Cinema Extravaganza. But in order to keep the cameras rolling, his movie’s producers insist that he cast the film using only Mexico’s favorite superstar luchadores. The femme fatale known as La Diabla Azul (played by Company Member Gabe Garza) will stop at nothing in order to defeat her competition and become Mexico’s First and Only Lady Macbeth! Come see art imitate life imitate art as La Diabla Azul becomes the incarnation of Lady Macbeth both on screen and in the haunted catacombs of the Aztec mummy’s lair!
