The Journey Begins
A powerful bilingual stage play about grief, identity, and growth.
When Rolan Hernandez takes the stage as a child, he is full of hope, pride, and dreams shaped by the love of his father. But years later, after losing him to war, that same boy is left searching for answers, for peace, and for himself.
Told through a compelling blend of English and Spanish dialogue and original poetry, this moving play follows Rolan’s journey as he wrestles with anger, heartbreak, and the weight of expectations. As he pushes away the people who care about him most, unexpected encounters challenge him to confront his choices and rediscover the values his father left behind.
At its core, this story is about more than loss. It is also about legacy and about learning what it truly means to grow and forgive.
Heartfelt, relatable, and deeply human, this play speaks to young people navigating identity, family, and the complicated path from pain to purpose.
