Our Lady of The San Diego Convention Center

TuYo Theatre is proud to announce the World Premiere of “Our Lady of the San Diego Convention Center" by Mario Vega. Running from September 11th through October 18th, 2026 at venues across San Diego County, TuYo invites audiences to experience this heartfelt and inspirational story based on the playwright's real-life experiences working as a youthcare worker at the San Diego Convention Center in 2021.

“Our Lady of the San Diego Convention Center" is Vega’s second world premiere production with TuYo, the first being the immersive musical “Pásale Pásele.” The production also follows TuYo’s “Everything You Need To Know About Abortion In One Hour Or Less,” an educational story about women’s reproductive rights, and the spooky and immersive sold-out run of “La Llorona On The Blue Line.”

TuYo Theatre is excited to collaborate with Casa Familiar

Vega’s "Our Lady of the San Diego Convention Center" centers the honest experiences of immigration with care and humor, capturing the stories of these migrant girls and encouraging audiences to have a conversation about not just migration, but the consequences of borders on children and our responsibility as human beings to take care of each other.
