Back to You
by Austin Rainbow Theatre (ART)

Jan. 12 - Jan. 20
Thursdays-Sundays

 

Diego and Mateo, two Mexican-American teens, have been lifelong friends in their small Texas Valley town. As they grow into young men, their bond deepens into something more than just friendship. Forced to grapple with their fear, shame, homophobia, and pressures of machismo culture, the pair grow up, grow closer, grow apart, and come back together again through the next fifteen years.

The REGIONAL PREMIERE of Chris Rivera’s riveting play about navigating queer relationships in modern culture, told from a Latiné perspective. This play will be performed by the original developers from New York City.
