Teatro Sin Fronteras Presents:
La Cucaracha 🇲🇽🪳🏳️🌈
In a hazy desert cantina, a musician drinks with a devil... Over the course of a few songs and many sips of mezcal, playwright Demian Chavez Galvan and drag artist Danté Picante explore, lampoon, and re-imagine masculinity in the borderlands in the shadow of two famous fronterizos: Pancho Villa and Juan Gabriel.
Join us for the premiere of La Cucaracha, a drag cabaret created by and for fronterizxs. Join us at the Mexican American Cultural Center on June 27, where Teatro Sin Fronteras will perform during Con Orgullo, A MACC Pride Celebration.

Hidden Flora Screening and Anonymous Q&A with the Filmmaker
Roxii is a queer hopeless romantic who just wants to be loved and treated the way boys treat girls. Through a string of boys and men, Roxii's understanding of sex and identity takes shape in late aughts Las Cruces, New Mexico.
Join us for the first local screening of this autobiographical film by local filmmaker Ryan Rox, an unflinching and tender cautionary tale about coming of age and navigating queer sexuality without guidance. Stay after the film for an anonymous Q&A with the filmmaker and counselors to explore the themes and conversations Hidden Flora brings to the surface.
