...stuff of Edward Gorey than Dr. Seuss. And so “Aurélia’s Oratorio” manages to stay pitch-perfect, with a few exceptions. In one of the weaker moments, a disco ball appears onstage, and the generally unobtrusive score switches to an accordion-inflected circus song with fairly raunchy lyrics.

But even here there is a moment of genius; with the aid of creative costuming, Martinez bends over to appear as both...
...more sex than Americans, and somewhat confident that Albania was part of Europe, I sought him out for advice. I mean, let’s be honest here, seeing this kid was like [JOKE REDACTED FOR EXCESSIVE HILARITY]. He showed up late for our meeting, still harried from accordion practice. He smelled strongly of borsch and had to change into a new pair of soccer cleats and too-tight jeans before we headed to the Science Center for our chat.

...against La Entrada began. Local businesses sold STOP LA ENTRADA T shirts; residents joined letter-writing campaigns and launched anti-Entrada blogs. Some Marfans have devised creative ways to fight the corridor. Gary Oliver, 60, a political cartoonist for the local newspaper, has composed a protest song on his accordion. "Move to Marfa for the peaceful life,/ So far away from the stress and strife," he sings. "Then you put your ear down on the highway floor,/ Hear the many trucks in the distance roar ... La Entrada, here come a lot of highway blues...
