El Recalentado by Ruth Madrid
In this modern day recalentado, three high school seniors from a small city in East Los Angeles embark on an emotional journey. After a night of drinking and dancing, Marilu, a high school student, wakes up unable to remember the events of the party, and missing her abuelita’s rosario. When her best friend Deanna and Omar reveal to her that there was much more to look for than her rosario, the two agree to help Marilu find the one responsible for her losses.

"This powerful drama examines the fears of parents driven to do "the right thing" when the safety of their daughter is in doubt. A mother and father who learn that the next door neighbor is a convicted child molester consider both vigilance and vigilantism before being forced into action by a pair of child advocacy crusaders. The shocking climax hits a raw nerve, leaving the audience to consider where the line between right and wrong lies."

Voces Unidas: Flashes of Hope
Voces Unidas: Flashes of Hope
The goal of Voces Unidas: Flashes of Hope is to help the people of Puerto Rico gain some of the necessary supplies they need to maintain their lives. We, as a community, can support them through artistic intervention. We’ll be sending flashlights and food storage containers and you can help us send a message of love and hope. You can create works of art on those food containers and small bracelets that we’ll attach to the flashlights. Voces Unidas: Flashes of Hope will be on March 9th and 10th, 6:30pm-7:30pm @ the Culver Center of the Arts awning. So, stop on by our tables--before the Mr. Bundy performance--and send your message of support through art!
