Borderlands Theatre

Our poetry open mic series is back on second Sundays with The Color Readings! Curated and hosted by the incomparable Eva Sierra, it now also features local bands each month, and tacos for sale.

Adapted from the novel by Helena María Viramontes, the play ascribes new meanings to gang life dramas, gender queer identities, and Chicana/o/x coming of age barrio tales. The lives of four youth intersect and intertwine, unearthing stories about the effects and aftereffects of the Vietnam War, displacement, and state violence.
