Our Lady Of The San Diego Convention CenterBy Mario Vega&nbsp;Directed by Maria Patrice Amon In the Spring of 2021, the San Diego Convention Center is being used as a holding facility for young asylum seekers. Milli and Lupe are hired as youth care workers to help take care of the unaccompanied migrant children being held there. As the months go by, they must adjust to the changing rules and restrictions at their job. &ldquo;Our Lady of the San Diego Convention Center&quot; is Vega&rsquo;s second world premiere production with TuYo, the first being the immersive musical &ldquo;P&aacute;sale P&aacute;sale.&rdquo; The production also follows TuYo&rsquo;s &ldquo;Everything You Need To Know About Abortion In One Hour Or Less,&rdquo; an educational story about women&rsquo;s reproductive rights, and the spooky and immersive sold-out run of &ldquo;La Llorona On The Blue Line.&rdquo; Vega&rsquo;s &quot;Our Lady of the San Diego Convention Center&quot; tackles the heavy subject 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. <img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/18b853_d2dd8c6cf1a74e2c974623051ce96ed7~mv2.png/v1/crop/x_0,y_155,w_2701,h_3140/fill/w_351,h_408,al_c,q_85,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,enc_avif,quality_auto/Poster%20Final.png" alt="Poster Final.png" width="351" height="408" fr-original-style="" fr-original-class="fr-draggable" style="cursor: pointer; padding: 0px 1px; user-select: none; max-width: 100%; position: relative; box-sizing: inherit;"> In collaboration with: <img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/18b853_94711b0788e44533bf2a2d3c919de9dc~mv2.png/v1/fill/w_202,h_202,al_c,q_85,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,enc_avif,quality_auto/18b853_94711b0788e44533bf2a2d3c919de9dc~mv2.png" alt="" width="202" height="202" fr-original-style="" fr-original-class="fr-draggable" style="cursor: pointer; padding: 0px 1px; user-select: none; max-width: 100%; position: relative; box-sizing: inherit;">
