Teatro Espejo Staged Reading Series 2024

Teatro Espejo is proud to present staged readings of two inspiring plays:
“CHICANA LEGEND” by Alexis Elisa Macedo, directed by Nicole C. Limón

and

"WELGA" by Conrad A. Panganiban, directed by Angela Dee Alforque

About the plays:

CHICANA LEGEND: “Young Lulu embarks on an epic, video game coming-of-age adventure to become "a Chicana Legend" - the ultimate inspiration to her community. Lulu must make good choices, combat small-town chisme and defend her family's reputation, all with the weight of the community on her shoulders. Just as Abuela warned her…one little mistake, it's GAME OVER. Will Lulu rise to the challenges of each level or become a Chicana Myth? Press Start to find out!” (New Play Exchange)

WELGA: “High school senior, Johnny Montalban, is a part of the exuberant world of street musicians in San Francisco. As Johnny sets a plan in motion to drop out of school to pursue a music career, his mother, Carmelita, only has dreams of him graduating and keeping a roof over their heads in their ever-changing SOMA neighborhood. When faced with losing their home due to rent increases and decreased wages from a scheming boss, a history assignment based on the true story about how a group of Filipino Americans began the biggest agricultural labor strike in the United States inspires him to fight for the wages owed his mother and the apartment they call home. Through the help of a caring teacher, his love of music, and the strength found in the Filipino American Community, Johnny finds the strength to not only take action in saving his mom’s job, but he also finds the fire to not be another statistical drop-out.” (New Play Exchange)
