Latino Theater Company and Mexico’s Organización
Secreta Teatro present ‘A Girl Grows Wings’
WHAT:
Inspired by testimonials and essays written by young, undocumented immigrants known as “Dreamers,” A Girl Grows Wings poignantly depicts one girl’s journey as she navigates the fallout her status inflicts on her hopes and dreams, “growing her wings” in a touchingly beautiful and imaginative style. Commissioned by Latino Theater Company and developed in the company’s Circle of Imaginistas playwriting group, this unique work premiered earlier this year in an interdisciplinary production developed and devised by Mexico City’s Organización Secreta Teatro. That production now makes its way back to Latino Theater Company at The Los Angeles Theatre Center in downtown L.A.
