Many thanks to the Alexa Rose Foundation which named me a grant recipient for 2020. I will use the grant to produce my original play “Tears for Llorona” in cooperation with the Hispanic Heritage Center in Nampa.
Based on one of my short stories, the play is a cautionary tale and retelling of the old Mexican folk tale about the llorona, a creature who weeps for her children.
The play was first produced by the Magic Valley Arts Council in Twin Falls and featured an all-Latino cast.
