A group of immigrants have sparked revolution in the Nation, a dystopia where assimilation was forced. Hearing the collective voice of the people, Doña Mañana—one of the revolutionaries and now the first female, Afro-Latina president—and her team set out on a quest to dismantle the system and bring full liberation to the people.A letter to our future from the present, Doña Mañana is the final chapter in <a href="https://peoplestheatreproject.org/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">People&#x27;s Theatre Project&#x27;s</a> trilogy of plays that investigates and celebrates the immigrant experience through a collection of our lived experiences as immigrants and artists of color living and working in the United States. This play is an invitation to our audiences to transcend the limits of logic and feel comfortable in the unknown, in the imagination.November 4th, 2021Thursday at 7:00 P.M. ESTTickets are free!
