March 18 — Teatro de las Américas to present for one night only ‘Esperanza Rising’

OXNARD — Teatro de las Américas to present for one night only “Esperanza Rising” at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, March 18 at the Oxnard College Performing Arts Center, 4000 S. Rose Ave., Oxnard.

“Esperanza Rising” is a story of a young girl who is uprooted, transplanted and re-grown in alien soil. The glorious, live music of Mariachis carries Esperanza (whose name means ‘Hope’) across the dividing line that cuts through the center of this play.

The play, in English with Spanish supertitles, is written by Lynne Alvarez based on the book by Pam Ryan Muñoz. Music by Victor Zupanc. Directed by Miguel Heredia.

Tickets are $15.
