Description
Arizona Theatre Company performs this new comedy from the mind of former Childsplay playwright-in-residence José Cruz Gonzáles. As she spends her days caring for her ailing mother, Lucha yearns to break her monotonous routine. She decides to start an all-girl mariachi band. But it’s the 1970s, and girls don’t do that. Or do they? The play explores music’s power to heal and connect, and the freedom to dream big. Bonus: live mariachi music. 7:30 p.m. Times vary. $25-$60. All ages. Herberger Theater Center, 222 E. Monroe St., Phoenix. arizonatheatre.org
