Plaza de la Raza Staging ‘Llorana,’ ‘Hollering Creek’
Students and former students at Plaza de la Raza’s School of Performing Arts will perform two plays at the Margo Albert Theater.
“Woman Hollering Creek,” written by Sandra Cisneros, and “La Llorona,” a traditional folk tale, were both adapted by Nancy De Los Santos with the participation of the young actors.
The first play is taken from Cisneros’ short story in which a woman finds her voice while escaping an abusive husband. The folk tale involves a woman who mourns the drowning of her children at her own hands.
The productions are directed by Barbara June Dodge.
The preview performance will be 8 p.m. May 25, and subsequent performances at 8 p.m. May 26 and 27 and at 2 and 8 p.m. May 28. Admission is free, but reservations are required.
The Margo Albert Theater is at Plaza de la Raza, 3540 N. Mission Road.
