Written by Virginia Grise
Directed by Kendra Ware

Part of Latinidades Theatre Festival

The launch of the national touring production of Virginia Grise’s manifesto, Your Healing is Killing Me, urges communities to sharpen their tools for self-defense. Her escape hatches to freedom exist everywhere we are willing to see them–from the treatments and consejos of curanderas, abortion doctors, Marxist artists, and bougie dermatologists.

Barrio Daze

Written and performed by Adrian Villegas

Part of Latinidades Theatre Festival

Barrio Daze is a solo Latino comedy show by Adrian Villegas that tells the story of a fateful Election Day in the barrio through the lives of nine very different characters. The communities under attack strike back against a rabidly conservative politician in the heated Senatorial race. At the frontline is the hood’s very own Chicano school teacher’s inspiring grass-roots campaign.
