El Terremoto

March 26 – April 21, 2024

Twenty years have passed since the three Jurado sisters lost their parents, and life just seems to continue on in their East Vancouver home.

A birthday party, a failed proposal, and a missed connection fill the days and months until an earthquake nearly destroys the city, and brings forward a shocking turn of events that splits their world wide open.

From Dora-Award winning playwright Christine Quintana El Terremoto is a dramatic comedy about how nothing matters, so everything matters.
