A top ten selection for the Reva Shiner award, a semi-finalist for the Ashland New Play Festival and winner of third prize in the Latino/Chicano Literary Competition - University of California Irvine.

A compelling historical tale with contemporary themes of the power of government and religion.

Noche de los Muertos is a highly theatrical, classically based, culturally appropriate drama. Set in a provincial village in the Sonoran Desert in the 1920's, Noche explores the power of rites and rituals that influence thought to the point of irrationality and how passionate individuals deal with devastating conflicts.

A fitting play to present during Halloween and Dia de los Muertos and an essential cultural, spiritual and historical happening by a local, award-winning playwright. Its relevance to over a century of local Hispanic family living in Tucson makes this World Premier essential, must-see theatre.

There will be a special performance of Noche los Muertos and reception on November 13 to benefit Los Changuito Feos.  Los Changuitos Feos de Tucson is a youth mariachi group whose multiple purposes are to provide creative and wholesome activity for its members; to develop members' artistic talent and social maturity; to instill in members self esteem and pride in music, language and culture; to develop a sense of community; to promote the City of Tucson; to entertain and bring joy of spirit to others; and to provide college scholarship support to graduating members.
