En Las Sombras (In the Shadows)

A staged reading of Latine playwright Jordan Ramirez Puckett’s play, En Las Sombras, directed by Nicole C. Limón.

En Las Sombras is an adventurous parable that follows Xenia and Luz, two children traveling with their mother to God’s Gate. On the other side is the promise of safety and a life free from hunger and suffering, but when Xenia and Luz are separated from their mother, it becomes clear that the gods may not be quite ready to share the riches that lie beyond. This myth asks us to consider why we’ve allowed our gods to become so powerful and what we can do to stop them.

The show will be performed in English with ASL interpretation and is appropriate for audiences ages ten and up.
