This interactive play tells the story of César Chávez and the United Farm Workers of America movement through the eyes of Gloria, the ten year-old daughter of migrant farm workers.  As the play develops, Gloria witnesses protesters led by César Chávez advocating for safe working conditions and fair wages through strikes and nonviolent rallies.  The story is interspersed with scenes led by a Teatrista, who further explores the life of a farm worker through dialogue with the audience and short demonstrations with student participants.  Material is appropriate for elementary through high-school aged students.

AUDITIONS ONGOING, if interested contact Estevan Azcona
