Show Synopsis IMPORTANT: KEEP IT BRIEF – we reserve the right to edit!
The Play: On his 21st birthday, Javier, a promising poet, learns he was adopted from an orphanage in Nogales, Mexico. He puts off graduate school to explore his roots by traveling the U.S.-Mexico border from San Diego Bay to the Gulf of Mexico. A multidisciplinary narrative, “Amexica: Tales of the Fourth World” crosses time, culture, and geography, exploring the border’s rich and complex heritage, evolving society, and the fate of the region and its people.
