The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao
By Marco Antonio Rodriguez
Adapted from the novel by Junot Díaz
Directed by Eddie Torres
SATURDAY, JANUARY 11
7:30 p.m.
Oscar knows that a nerdy Dominican college freshman isn’t anyone’s idea of a romantic hero. But with the encouragement of his new college roommate, Yunior, Oscar is going to give love another chance... and then another... and then another. There’s just one problem: his family is cursed. A vivid new stage adaptation based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel by Junot Díaz.
A line for standby seating will form 30 minutes before each performance of the Powers New Voices Festival. Based on ticket-holder attendance, those standing in the standby line may be seated. Seating is based on seat availability and is not guaranteed. Latecomers with tickets are also not guaranteed admittance.
