Fantasmitas follows the adventures of five first-generation Latine youth, who have been separated from their families due to immigration policies. The children embark on a perilous, but exciting journey in hopes of reuniting with their loved ones. They escape zombies and coyotes, and search for the mythical one-eyed giant monster known as 'La Bestia.' Along the way they discover their own superpowers which help them during the increasingly complex journey.
The play mirrors the real life experiences of many migrants crossing the southern border who dream of being reunited with loved ones once again. Fantasmitas is a play geared toward a multigenerational audience. It is full of comedy, suspense, triumph and hope--telling a story that the whole family can enjoy and share together. Talkbacks will follow each performance.

Dancing Home tells the story of two cousins, Margie, a US-born Mexican-American, and Lupe, a newcomer from Mexico who has come to live with Margie’s family. Their lives are so different that they struggle to connect as friends. When they each discover a love for Mexican folklórico, they find a shared path to the place they call home.
This Spanish-English bilingual play explores themes of immigration, bullying, Latinx heritage, language, identity, self-acceptance, and the power of art.
