I didn’t fall in love with theater until my teenage years, but once I did I fell hard. Unfortunately, theater didn’t feel the same way about me. As a young actor, I lost count of the number of times that I was excluded from a production WAIT, explicitly because of the way that I looked. Because I “didn’t THERE'S MORE! fit” in world after world and story after story being told BCS & OLNEY onstage by my mostly white peers. My career was a constant PRESENT… refrain of no. I stuck it out until finally I got tired of hearing no Over the course of the and decided to become the boss so I could say yes. 2019/20 season, Maryland’s two State It is fitting, then, that Miss You Like Hell is my first production theaters—Baltimore as an Artistic Director.

6 BALTIMORE CENTER STAGE SETTING

TIME: 2014. LATE OBAMA YEARS.

A NOTE FROM THE PLAYWRIGHT:

"Miss You Like Hell features an undocumented woman whose humanity is not solely defined by a looming immigration hearing. Yes, she’s afraid. But that’s not all…

Perhaps this is too naïve a vision. Some have taken issue with our assertion of Beatriz’s celebration in the face of hardship. But I identify with Beatriz. Latinx pain is paraded in headlines as though it represents the whole of us. But from the inside, with our boots on the ground, we do not always have to enter the conversation as victims. Perhaps Beatriz’s joie de vivre is radical, even revolutionary. In a circumstance beyond her control, with a back that’s been bent time and again, she uses every scrap of agency and maintains an outstretched hand… I hope you enjoy these songs of two women, a mother and a daughter, fighting to find their way to each other. And the strangers they meet along the way."

BALTIMORE CENTER STAGE 7 ARE WE THERE YET? Situated inside the American road trip tradition, Miss You Like Hell’s Olivia and Beatriz journey across the continent creating a constellationary network with folks they meet along the way. Of course, their journey follows the US-imperial path of manifest destiny, offering the promise of a contradictory freedom.

Their cross-country drive brings up questions of movement and migration: Who has the freedom to move? Where to? How are structures put in place to stop people from moving? How are imaginary (and constructed) borders used to force removal, separate families, and encourage a culture of dehumanization and fear? How might we, like Beatriz and Olivia, imagine a future where no one is cast away?

Across the next few pages, we’re offering up some road trip souvenirs to take with you as you join us on this ride.

MOTHERS ARE THE TRICKIEST THING Do yourself a favor: Google ‘Revolutionary Mothering.’ Learn more about the legacy of queer black feminism as articulated by writer and scholar Alexis Pauline Gumbs. In this intellectual and embodied lineage, mothering must be thought of expansively: as a practice of nurturing and care for a world in need of transformation; as the labor of stitching communities back together amid the pain and heartbreak of separation; as a love-filled intergenerational vision for how to hold sorrow, struggle, sacrifice, acceptance, and joy for a future we cannot quite yet see. “The potential for the word mother comes after the m. It is the space that other takes up in our mouths when we say it. We are something else. We know it from how fearfully institutions wield social norms and try to shut us down. We know it from how we are transforming the planet with our every messy step toward making life possible. Mamas who unlearn domination by refusing to dominate their children. Extended family and friends. Community care givers. Radical child care collectives. All of us breaking cycles of abuse by deciding what we want to replicate from the past and what we urgently need to transform. We are mothering, mothering ourselves.” ALEXIS PAULINE GUMBS

LOOK FOR HOME Beatriz reminds Olivia of her indigenous ancestry early on in the show. Did you know that the Yaqui people are one of many indigenous nations still present on the North American continent? For example, the Texas Band of Yaqui Indians trace their ancestry to a group of Mountain Yaqui who lived in the Sonoran Desert, a space now separated by the border between Mexico and the United States. In the face of often violent claims to land by the colonial governments of both the United States and Mexico, the majority of the Yaqui have scattered throughout northwest Mexico and southwest United States, where many still live today.

10 BALTIMORE CENTER STAGE BE WITH ME WITCHY WITCHES

“La brujería” approximately translates to “witchy magic.” Frequently associated with indigenous traditions in the Latinx and African diasporas, it is rooted in spiritual connections with ancestors and the divine feminine. Despite centuries of persecution and oppression, la brujería persists and is in fact on the rise:

“For whatever reason right now, brujas are really trendy. And I think that there's pros and cons to that. Like, hell yeah—ideally we are really all brujas and brujos. My definition is honing in on your personal power and working with the energies around you to create the life that you want. So ultimately, we all are capable of that. But it's important to know that people have been doing it way before we have been doing it. And it's important to know and respect that knowledge, those people, and where it came from. [Brujería] is in our blood and must be activated for our empowerment and for the abolishment of the patriarchal rule. Reclaiming brujería is reclaiming our story and finding our voice as divine beings again.”

TATIANNA MORALES, For Vice’s "The Young Brujas Reclaiming the Power of Their Ancestors"

THIS IS THE WAY I REMEMBER Tamales are a significant staple of many Latinx cuisines, originating from indigenous cultures of Central and South America as far back as 7000 BCE. “Tamale” comes from the Nahuatl (an Uto-Aztecan language) word “tamalli.” The tradition of handcrafting tamales has been passed on generation after generation and is frequently tied up with important family and cultural memories. Families often gather for the painstaking preparation process, forming assemblies to make the masa (a dough made primarily of corn), bundle it up, and cook it to perfection. Today, many iterations of the tamale exist, with hundreds of takes on the ‘right’ tamale recipe even within one country, but the same basic principle apply to each: masa is wrapped in an aromatic leaf and is then steamed or boiled. According to Dr. Antonia Castaneda, “Since time immemorial, corn and its life cycle defined the cultural rhythms, the Remember labors, the sacred rituals and the celebrations of Indigenous America.”

NOW I’M HERE MONARCH BUTTERFLIES travel all across the North American continent, from Canada to Mexico, in an annual borderless migration. Artist, activist, and organizer Favianna Rodriguez breaks down the significance of these butterflies as a symbol: “Immigrant rights activists have seen the butterfly as a symbol of fluid and peaceful migration for generations. To me, the monarch butterfly represents the dignity and resilience of migrants, and the right that all living beings have to move freely. I believe that we shouldn’t allow our identity to be defined only by our suffering, nor by the actions that others have taken to devalue our families and our labor — rather, let us celebrate our beauty, pride, and resilience in the face of inequality and injustice.”

BALTIMORE CENTER STAGE 31 LANDARTISTIC ACKNOWLEDGMENT CORNER

Honor Native Land Responding to a call from our Indigenous colleagues, collaborators, and neighbors, Baltimore Center Stage is working toward building meaningful and accountable relationships with the land we occupy. As a first step on this path, you’ll see a land acknowledgement in each of our programs. Acknowledgment is itself a small gesture, and we look forward to continuing our efforts toward decolonization in a good way. If you’re interested in more information about the practice of land acknowledgement, feel free to visit the US Department of Arts and Culture’s “Honor Native Land” guide.

Baltimore Center Stage acknowledges that the land beneath us, this place, this community, owes its vitality to generations who have come before. Some were brought forcibly to this land, some came here in search of ownership or simply a better life, and some have lived and stewarded this land for countless generations. In a spirit of making erased histories visible, we acknowledge that we are standing on the ancestral and occupied lands of the Piscataway Nation. The Susquehannock, Lenape, and Lumbee peoples have also cared for this land. These peoples are not relics of the past, but they continue to steward this land today with care, vitality, and tradition. Their relations are numerous throughout Turtle Island, and they are continuing to grow. We pay respects to their elders past, present, and future. Please take a moment to consider the many legacies of violence, displacement, migration, and settlement that bring us together here today. And please join us in uncovering such truths at any and all public events.

Additionally in the spirit of reconciliation, you can honor the Indigenous peoples of this land by donating to Native American Lifelines, visiting the Baltimore American Indian Center & Heritage Museum, and supporting local Indigenous artists. These are only a few suggestions of the many ways we can move towards reconciliation.
