Inspired by Octavio Paz's The Labyrinth of 

Solitude, a collection of essays on Mexican thought 

and identity, Solitude explores love, death, destiny

lawyer hosts a reception following his mother's

funeral, gathering together the childhood friends 

he left behind 20 years ago.

Hope: Part II of A Mexican trilogy, is the first of the series to be fully realized on stage.  Underscored by the musicality of the 1960's this play highlights the political, social and cultural shifts of American life in this era - the loss of innocence, the sexual revolution, military engagement, the assassination of a beloved President and the subsequent disillusionment and questioning of authority- through the lens of a Mexican-American family in the process of assimilation.

Charity is the third play in the Trilogy.  In this final installment  the world mourns the death of Pope John Paul II, the centenarian matriarch of the family is visited by the ghost of her great grandson slain in Iraq, and a newly arrived relative from Mexico suddenly appears.

Faith is the first play in the trilogy. Set a couple decades after the Mexican Revolution, Faith is the story of a family faced with the challenge of retaining ancient traditions and cultural memory in the midst of social and political upheaval.

Adapted from the Roman comedy The Pot of Gold by Plautus. What would you do if you won the lotto?  Buy a house?  Help your relatives? What if you found a pot of gold?  In La Olla, Leo, a bit player in a shady 1950’s L.A. nightclub, finds a pot full of cash and is overtaken by greed and mistrust as he plans to use the money to become a “star.” As he focuses on keeping his treasure safe, the nightclub show must go on as music plays, dancers dance, and Leo falls into a frenzied state of confusion where motives are misinterpreted with hilarious results. 

A Mexican Trilogy is in fact an American story that follows the Morales family over the span of 100 years to highlight the Latina/o experience in the U.S. Employing music to evoke eras and moods, the three parts of this play—Faith, Hope, and Charity—paint a canvas of universal family struggle that eloquently explores the eternal sense of belonging we all crave: to family, to culture, to country. Staged as an ambitious five-hour experience with a meal break, patrons also have the flexibility to view it in two parts.
