TuYo Theatre presents the world premiere of La Llorona on the Blue Line, written by Mabelle Reynoso (¡Lotería: Game On!, TuYo Theatre’s Pastorela 2.0) and directed by TuYo Theatre’s co-artistic director Dr. Maria Patrice Amon (TuYo Theatre’s Pásale Pásale, Milwaukee Chamber Theatre’s Hoops).

Originally commissioned by TuYo Theatre in 2024, La Llorona on the Blue Line is a new immersive play that unfolds aboard San Diego’s Blue Line trolley, interweaving haunting stories across three eras: 1920, 1946, and 1982. Each story is set aboard vintage trains, inviting audiences to experience how the past lingers in unexpected ways. Transforming the Blue Line into a ghostly passageway, this chilling new work asks whether La Llorona is a monster or a mirror, revealing hidden truths, confronting injustice, and reminding us that memory cannot be shackled.​
