Mundo Sin Ti: Written and Directed by Julie Marin
This new play follows the lives of a dysfunctional family residing in the Westside of San Antonio. A story centered around what it means to forgive, Blanca is faced with the challenge of salvaging her family from repeating their past. Reconciliation and clarity are not easy to come by when tensions remain heated between siblings. Sorrow is the source of stagnancy. We see the heartache manifest differently within each family member. As their lives continue to unfold, so do their places in one another’s world. A play in three acts. Act one only has been staged for showcase.
Produced by FIRE Collaborative : Fire Collaborative is a performing ensemble producing all original work. Ignited by Latina artists, we strive to cultivate avant-garde and traditional forms of theatre for the San Antonio community by networking with other eclectic artists coming from any age or experience.
La Chona se Confiesa: The second of a series of 8 comedies based on the history of a Mexican indigenous woman called Chona, who is employed at a tendajo of a Mexican rural town called Tres Pelillos. In this comedy, Chona returns to her mischievous ways. Given her happy nature and witty personality her boss Herculano sends Chona to confess, creating one chaos of confusion in the chapel of the town, which leaves the purest of priests begging for divine forgiveness. In the end, Chona manages to clarify all misunderstandings and at the same time reveals an important message to her audience.
