The Guadalupes
 
​

Written by Noah Diaz
Directed by Kevin Lawler

THE GUADALUPES is a meta-theatric exploration of history, memory, family, sadness, the importance of naming things, and the hard pill swallow of accepting our ancestry. A commission, and regional premier, with playwright Noah Diaz, will continue our community-based work with an autobiographical dive into a multi-generational, Mexican family in South Omaha.

Regional premiere, Neighborhood Tapestries Commission in partnership with Holy Family Community Center.

Full, in-person production and livestreamed!

April 14 – 16, @ 7:30pm
