American Mariachi

THE POWER OF MUSIC TO CELEBRATE, HONOR, AND HEAL

BY JOSÉ CRUZ GONZÁLEZ
DIRECTED BY KJ SANCHEZ

HUBBARD THEATRE

Family, love, and tradition are at the core of this heartwarming play about the freedom to dream big. It’s the 1970’s and girls can’t be mariachis… or can they? As Lucha and her spunky cousin hunt for bandmates, dodge disapproving relatives, and bring Mom along for the ride. This play is infused with vibrant, infectious live mariachi music and reminds us how music and love can make the impossible come true.
