When a terrible break-up turns Alicia's world upside down, she turns to folk magic to heal her heartbreak. With the help of her friends, and some enchanting magi, Alicia mines the underworlds of Brujeria, Santeria, and Hoodoo for magic recipes, age-old traditions, and ancient jar spells looking for a cure. Based on real and extended exchanges with practitioners of each craft, Jarred: A Hoodoo Comedy explores one of the best kept secrets in the Latino Community. An original script by Ofner Award winning playwright Tanya Saracho, co-directed by Belinda Cervantes and Tanya Saracho. Jarred is presented In English with a sprinkle of Spanish Photos Available Upon Request.

The eight-year old company uses an ensemble approach to create performances based on autobiographical experiences and true-life stories. The all-women ensemble builds shows as a collective, develops single author plays, incubates solo performances from the workshop stage to full production, and actively tours shows to universities and theatrical venues. To date, Teatro Luna has created and produced six original ensemble-based performances; two collections of short solo plays; and two single author plays.
