Subtext Studio Theatre Company (SSTC) announces the first production of Season Two: Generations featuring the world premiere play Que Te Vaya Bienby Artistic Director Omar Vicente Fernandez, as part of Destinos: 7th Chicago International Latino Theater Festival.  
Set in Wrigley Field during a Cubs game, Que Te Vaya Bien is a dramedy tells the story of Elias, a young man on a journey toward reconciliation with his father Mario. After learning that his wife is pregnant, Elias is plagued by doubts about his ability to be a good father.
He goes to Wrigley Field to face his fears and finally talk to his father about the childhood experiences that followed him into adulthood. Told with humor and heart, Que Te Vaya Bien is a universal story that illustrates that no matter where you are from, all families share the same discordant expectations and disconnects.

Press opening is on Friday, October 11, at 7:30 p.m. The run time is approximately 90 minutes (about 3 hours) with no intermission. All shows are performed in English with Spanish subtitles.
