The expenses of a cancelled season was a financial blow to Cabrillo Stage. But thanks to your help, support from Cabrillo College, and a history of prudent budgeting, we have always remained in the black and maintained a reserve of seed money for one more show! As you think about your end of year charitable donations, I hope you’ll consider a donation gift to Cabrillo Stage. The donor benefits are detailed on our Theater Guild Donor Page. On behalf of the 39th season’s cast and crew, we look forward to seeing you Online and Live… ”On Broadway”!

STORY
of Escaping Queens
Joe Ortiz's musical memoir, Escaping Queens, takes place in the shadow of the Queensboro Bridge. This funny, edgy, ultimately hopeful story, centers around an Italian/Puerto Rican family trying to escape the chaos and poverty of New York housing-project life. Mama rules the home with a nurturing wooden spoon but cannot control her charismatic, gambling husband. Sooner or later something has to give—and it does. The production’s original music draws on the same richness of traditions that the family itself does: Latin beats, Sicilian ballads, do-wop numbers on the street corner and radio hits reminiscent of 1950s era New York.
Here you can watch our 2012 Production of Escaping Queens on December 27, 3:00pm and January 1, 7:30pm. We hope you enjoy this look back at one of our favorite original works. It will be preceded by a pre-show discussion with the creators in Episode 14: The Stars Of Cabrillo Stage. WATCH NOW!
Due to Covid-19, all events will be planned with an eye to safety and well-being of guests and staff. All events are subject to change.
